SI got a piece of plywood the size of the NLR seat footprint and mounted my Rhino to the floor.
BI mainly fly the Harrier and have kept just the standard profile but I did add end stops at 90ish %. I have also reduced the max amount of deflection needed for roll because I have a VR pit and it will interfere with my nozzle lever and leg.
Cthe default connector that comes on the unit fits TM sticks with no adaptor, correct?
S@Bird*dog could u give me pointer on how you build that distanceholder for your chair with the rudderpedal? got MFG crosswind myself and having something like that would be great (reference to https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1000639415208656926/1203901633717870652)

Asorry if wrong channel - am i required to make the purchase when my turn comes around? like if something happened and i suddenly can't afford it, what's my recourse?
Ptalk to walmis about that, I'm sure if it's only a short term thing he might accommodate. You will have a decent amount of time to save & you should get a good idea when your number will be coming up, you could always ask someone to swap out with a lter spot in the line?
Agot it, ok. just didn't want to cause any inconvenience for anyone if a sudden expense came up
WYeah, no worries, you can cancel it when your spot comes up
Athanks!
Si would normally say yes cancel (so i can get mine earlier) but i would assume ur after me anyway 
BI actually got them off of Amazon a few years ago. They don’t seem to be in stock very often though, but you might have some luck getting them direct from the manufacturer: https://www.peingear.com/product-page/pein-s-pedal-mount

Li had a quick question, if anyone happened to know the answer.
for the DIY or in general, is there an answer for how or if the rhino homes/calibrates? trying to figure out if it is able to self-centre after being powered off for a while, or if it needs to re-run a homing routine to find a limit for X and Y
for the DIY or in general, is there an answer for how or if the rhino homes/calibrates? trying to figure out if it is able to self-centre after being powered off for a while, or if it needs to re-run a homing routine to find a limit for X and Y
Lso i assume that you set min/max for X and Y, and those values are stored, but after a power off and you move the stick unpowered, does it need to home first before use? most of the videos i see of it being powered just go to center, but im assuming the board is remaining powered and it hasnt lost its positional data
FNah I unplug the whole thing days at a time and it's fine
FIncluding power
S@Bird*dog after looking at the website it looks like u have a older version of the pedal mount that they sell would you be able to give me some photos of your mounts i would like to see how they are constructed
SOn power up it reads the absolute single turn encoder position. It uses the previously stored min/max as the axis limits.
Loh okay thats super interesting! is that a physical encoder being turned, or part of the servo control stuff on the back of the motor?
BYeah no problem, I’ll DM you
SIt’s on the back of the motor
Lah okay, so how did that accommodate for multiple motor rotations?
Lor is this just a right encoder for the job kinda thing
Lim sure i remember @walmis posting about this not being a problem a while back when i got my kit, im aware there are "single throw" absolute encoders that can rotate multiple times as part of their entire throw, but i think i remember it being a software fix or something
FIf your system allows multiple rotations you should make sure it's within the correct rotation upon startup(ie if one rotation is 10° movement it should be within 5° either side of the center)
SYea that’s why I size the gear or belt ratio to use just short of 1 full motor rotation

KJust finishing up the order form @walmis, do you know if the VP Force mounting plate fits the Rhino FFB base? Thinking the plate might fit the NLR sim seat I have. Thanks again.
WThe plate is specifically designed for Rhino 
KThought so, thank you mate, order form filled out!
THey guys, I'm about to 3D print my throw limiters (found in the knowledge base section) and was wondering, what is the native maximum throw in degrees for the Rhino?
A22 I think
V:package: RHINO #0401 Has Shipped!
RHINO #0401 Has Shipped!
TThanks. Ideally I wanted 21 aft, and since the default on the limiters was 20 I wanted to make sure 21 was ok.
CI love popping in here and seeing more and more Rhinos shipping out. It’s like a rolling Christmas for other people.
TAlso, @walmis I just want to say thank you for finally giving us a good force feedback stick that blows the MS FFB2 out of the water in every way possible. I've got #0022 and I absolutely love it.
TOn a different note, I feel sure that the software throw limiter generates substantially heavier pull than DCS aircraft when I set everything to max. Is there a way to get DCS aircraft to truly use the Rhino to it's true potential? I confess I haven't yet read the WIP manual, I'm buried in projects right now.

MDoes anyone have a recommended MSFS Flying Iron Spitfire TelemFFB profile they would be willing to share?
TSo you’re saying the stick is not giving enough force or too much? I’m just curious.
RWhat's current lead time for 57BLF03 motors?
FMotor kit is like a few days, think I had confirmation of sending like a day after purchase
RAnd as long as I follow a guide like this I should be fine, right? https://github.com/Gadroc/vpforce-ffb-joystick?tab=readme-ov-file

MI just completed a DIY build from Protomakers guide and plans, which I found to be excellent, and it looks like the site you posted from Gadroc has a few changes to the gimbal components and the addition of screw inserts, but is very similar, and he recommends following Protomakers guide: https://github.com/protomaker964/Rhino-FFB-Clone-3D_Printed?search=1

TI swapped my base so instead of the red button being toward me, it is now to the side, effectively bringing the joystick base closer to the seat (my bum). I then swapped X and Y in DCS, but now the force trim does the opposite of what I want. It places the trimmer where the stick is, but on release does the reverse of what I want. Is there a fix for this or should I just go back to where I started with the big red button facing backward toward the chair?
TI guess I am asking is there a way to swap x and y in the vp rhino software?
