Anyone knows what is happening here ? Few days ago everything was right. @walmis

This looks like the @Mackyip issue he DM'd me

Lei•2/1/24, 5:49 PM

Just got the base, but could not figure out how to mount the winwing grip. Am i missing something in the box?

Lei•2/1/24, 5:50 PM

MashedPotato•2/1/24, 6:01 PM

Winwing grips require an adapter to both reverse the threading and change from 5 pin to 6 pin. WW is not out of the box compatible with the TM system that Rhino is based on

Lei•2/1/24, 6:03 PM

I was under the impression it supports Winwing

where can I get the adapter?

http://order.vpforce.eu/
it is even pointed out in the order form that only Virpil and TM sticks can be connected directly.
you can order the WW adapter there as well

Lei•2/1/24, 6:41 PM

Thanks. I somehow remember when i pre-ordered it there was an option to select which grip i would use and it had Winwing as an option. Did not look very closely with the actual order form though… too excited that it was my turn….

Lei•2/1/24, 7:30 PM

I think this maybe a bit confusing in the preorder form which led me to expect the adapter would come with the base if I selected this option

Bob Bushman•2/1/24, 7:35 PM

That's what I figured as well, but I didn't actually need any optionals

walmis•2/1/24, 7:49 PM

Yeah, that's the preliminary selection so we can know the demand of given accessories. You need to select necessary accessories in the final order form.
But no worries, you can make another order for the adapter.

only two weeks, maybe you could ask to walmis to use the ups express but it will cost far more

is there any way to but a stop on the base to not allow it to go in farther forward. Just got the MIP from WinWing and the stick gose so far forward that I hit the MIP

You can experiment with the software Endstops feature in configurator, or, if you have access to a 3d printer, you can print off hardware throw limiters of any range: https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1092338475795238962 (or you can order a set from walmis)

RAFFT•2/1/24, 11:57 PM

thanks that will help

plehmann•2/2/24, 2:23 AM

Finally rejigged the 'pit and rotated the rhino with the cut off switch way from me ( rather than tucked under the seat!) but with the extension I have it is obviously reversed. so... I thought, lets rotate the Rhino ' thrustmaster' connector round by 180... I'm a bit wary as there did not appear to be much slack in the cabling - so put it back together and asking here.

plehmann•2/2/24, 2:23 AM

TLDR- can I swap the rhino joysitck connecter 180 and is there enough cable to pull it out to do so ?

Out of the tube do you mean ? As in OUT of the base of the rhino screw base.. undo the 2 silver screws holding the 'PS2 ' connector and pull ...and there should be enough cable in there to rotate.

One caveat is that you might need to lift the leather cover and feed in some cable to the tube.

Lei•2/2/24, 11:32 AM

luckily I am sucked in by some other games at the moment otherwise I would take on your suggestions. (But it seems the adapter is already being shipped out, so maybe not another two weeks waiting time)

Str][ker•2/3/24, 12:19 AM

Has anyone run into issues where the Rhino imparts a nose up or strong roll which can’t be cleared? This has happened to me a few times in the Hornet and Strike Eagle. It’s not constant but occasional. I was using the Telem FFB program as well at the time but exiting from that didn’t fix the issue. I probably have something set incorrectly and thought I’d ask here. Thanks!

Tinman•2/3/24, 2:33 AM

Happened to me a few times. It's usually triggered when fiddling with the trim.

Yes, that's it! It gets very wonky. I managed to land a couple of times this has happened and also had to just exit and then restart the mission (sucks)

Tinman•2/3/24, 2:57 AM

Haha, I literally crashed the one time, the other I hit the "zero" wire.

TonyM•2/4/24, 7:42 AM

For the throw limiter provided in Onshape as a CAD data by Walmis, I can only modify the pitch value forward and backward in the "Configurations" tab.
But how can i change the values for the roll?
(it is said to be parametrically adjustable)

@walmis for the Limit CAD When you export the file and put it in to a slicer to print its blank. I've tried 3 different slicers. LycheeSlicer Anycubic, and Chitubox. I'm in need of FWD 12, all others no limit the highest I can get it is Left/Right 22, Aft 21.

TonyM•2/4/24, 4:43 PM

Good to know! I suppose there is an incompatibility on my browser as I can only see the first 2 rows. I will try on a different browser now.

BTW, when I export it to an STL data it appears quite small on my Prusa slicer.
How much larger in % should I print it?

walmis•2/4/24, 4:44 PM

Try drag-expanding that pane, it should reveal all settings

walmis•2/4/24, 4:44 PM

It should be 1:1 in millimeters

Drei•2/5/24, 7:14 AM

Did you try just simply bind both of them to the axis? In theory they get the same input from TelemFFB they might mirror stick position as well... never tried, just thinking out loud

I have 2 separate yokes (2 motors per yoke) which are not mechanically connected, and I would prefer to connect both sides electronically. And i do not have space for a mechenical connection

Drei•2/5/24, 9:17 AM

Sorry, maybe i was not clear. What i am saying is try to bind both yokes in game to the same axis, if there is a 2 way com between the yoke and the pc (which should be imo) maybe the FFB will automaticaly updates the position of the yoke you are not moving based on your input. Again, not a professional just thinking out loud

Two questions; Are these shift registers compatible with the Rhino base? BM4021 shift registers. Output 5 pin & What is the max peak torque you get out of the 86BLF04 motors? Thanks

Anyone knows what is happening here ? Few days ago everything was right. @walmis
