Wait are you talking about the helicopter guy who inset the whole rhino in the floor?

MI just added sim racing to my kit, so I have a crossbar now. If you saw the pics, I wanna get a 2nd crossbar to mount my mfds and UFCs on, then swap crossbars for racing and flying
MNo, D custom fabbed out a Gen3 chassis for a dude that has the rhino resting basically on the floor, and has rudders mounted basically the reverse of normal, with crossbar supports going way out front and then linking in front, and the rudders mounting from the front
CThatβs in my future too prob. My CsL DD and TLCMs arenβt here. Iβd have to ship those over too
MLooking at your pics, you'd have to shuffle a few things around, but he would send you most of the same stuff he sent me
CHey guys! I have the A style puma pro flight trainer grip and thereβs a stuck button and the hat switches wonβt work, might it be because the A style grip is so new or does that not matter? If so is there any way I can help since Iβve got one of these grips?
WWhat does the windows game controller tester show?

RAnybody got a recommendation for an extension for a VKB Gunfighter grip? I bought a 50mm warthog extension, and it fits fine, but now the grip spins freely.
Looking for a 50mm and VKB doesn't sell one.

MIf I can ask, what is the part number and price of that Simfab Rhino mounting solution? I'm doing a DIY build, and need to come up with a mount for my Simfab rig.
MAnyone got a video of ffb rudders working yet? Iβm kinda interested in the trimming of warbirds in them

MThat was a custom build. The plate used was their "universal" mounting plate. If you give them a call, Dimitar should be able to set you up though
FDo you use a vkb adapter? Can use virpil extensions under that and just tighten the adapter well
FI did it like that and mine is sturdy as a rock
NWhat seat is this?
CItβs the SimFab DCS edition with a custom Rhino mounting solution instead of the normal center mount it comes with
CIβm gonna make a write up and take better pictures once I have it all set up. I hope my grip that arrives today is long enough where I wouldnβt need an extension. The current setup with the warthog in the picture is a tad too low but usable
CBtw does anyone have tips for sticktion on the pedal damper? Itβs more than I thought it would be and Iβd like to minimize it
CIt shows what appears to be normal behavior, all buttons work, no stuck buttons
THi everyone. I have a space motor and Controller board and was thinking to converting my VPC WarBRD Rudder Pedals so that it stays in place for helicopter flying. Does anyone have a suggestion how to do that?
NThese are the Ace pedals.. but AFAIK, the only difference is the pedals and brake axes...
As designed, it uses the 86BLF-03 motor.. but the 04 size would probably fit with a little tweaking

ARandom question: we're considering the FFB for a robotics lab. Is it relatively easy to programatically control the joystick's response?
AAnd follow-up question. For robotic simulator purposes (basically, having the joystick give opposite feedback when the user tries to steer a robot or drone too close to a "danger" area), is the FFB kit going to be noticeably different from the Rhino FFB?
O@Handy#8443 might wanna delete that before you dataleak your info...
Hthanks! Ophelia
CLoop back working great with the A style grip now, enjoying some H145 SAS goodness 
JHeliSimmer
The community β and FlightSimExpoβs organization β was caught by surprise when it was announced the Tropicana β Las Vegas, venue for the next FlightSimExpo, as well as the place where a lot of exhibitors and visitors were staying, is closing its doors in April β and due to be demolished.
Jpsa in case anyone was looking to attend flight sim expo this year
RYeah I use the VKB adapter. The warthog adapter I bought doesn't seem to have enough threads to prevent the stick from rotating, I'll order an official one from Virpil. Is that what you're using?
FNot surprised tho
Tropicana is kind of meh now but last minute it sucks

WI could suggest adding a rubber spacer between the adapter and the extension

HHello all and greetings from Greece. I really consider buying the Rhino, as a Microsoft ffb2 user until now!!! (yes dinosaurs exists 
) , and thinikng that i will miss ffb very very much, but i have a couple very simple questions to make if its not much trouble... The grips are still under their software or are depending on the rhino software? The rudder axis still usable? As i see the weight of the Rhino is about 6-7kg and during the flights and the use of ffb forces might go up about 5kg if i am correct, so the desk mounts are a solid solution or a more rocking solution is needed? Thank you very much for your time

Adepends on the grip
Avkb grips need the balck (or orange?) box and are controlled by vkb software
Aothers (I think) are more integrated solutions
CIt's the new one from Pro flight trainer, I just modified the neck to fit the Rhino: https://pro-flight-trainer.com/product/a-style-snapaction-cyclic-grip-upgrade-package/
Pro Flight Trainer LLCcniederhauser
A-style snapaction cyclic grip inspired by Airbus; for the 5th generation PUMA X flight controls, used in helicopters like the H125, H135, H145, H160 and others.
BI might've missed earlier discussion about this, but (a) what grip is that and (b) how is it mounted to the Rhino? Oh, and (c) what's the interface for the buttons/hats? Edit: NEVERMIND 
But I'd still like to understand how you got the grip to mount onto the Rhino

RSame here
COk so as promised here is a short write up on the SimFab DCS edition with a custom rhino mount Dimitar put together for me. I will focus on the Rhino integration because there is probably a lot of info on the rest of the SimFab setup. I will say though that all of the mounting solutions and tools were well organized and everything came together solidly, I am very happy with it so far. The hardest part was getting the seat back on to the seat lol.
As for the Rhino integration, Dimitar supplied me with a spacer and doubled up plates to be clamped on to the rudder tube part of the seat frame. This so far has worked perfectly, idk if heβs a genius or very lucky, but all the dimensions of how the rhino fits with this solution are super tight, the seat adjuster is barely not touching it, the standard stick travel is jussstt beginning to touch the cushions on the limits inside the seat cutout, and the pulley of the flipped Rhino base just clears the bottom of the seat. It is also trivial to access the cable connections in the large space under the seat with the installed risers.
The length of the Rhino with a direct mounted TM Warthog grip was too low to be comfortable in this setup, however, my Virpil T50CM2 grip that finally arrived alleviated the issue pretty much completely, since the height from the mount to the bottom of the palm rest (which is adjustable) is much longer than the TM Warthog. This brought it up to a much more usable height, and I think itβs pretty close to optimal, maybe a bit higher would be nice. Only issue with my setup is that I kind of run into my right thigh with the T50s palm rest when going hard right roll, but that is likely due to me putting the right side mount grip over the seat, I can just adjust it out and likely have no issue at all.
Feel free to DM or @ me with any questions or if you need any measurements taken or pictures for your own reference. Thank you to @MashedPotato for sending me some pics of his setup during my decision process. Here is a picture dump of my setup trying to show what I explained above:

MWas just on the phone with him and waiting on a call back atm. That looks like he ran my setup, but without you having to grind that bolt, because of that spacer. I run a short extension to use multiple grips, so that wouldn't work for me, but it looks good
