And just after easter holidays so it isn't going to be stuck in holiday shipping limbo.
Mine shipped just around christmas and it was a week before anything happened on the tracking data.

Ice•4/4/24, 12:23 PM

How long does it usually take to reach the US?

MMaverick24 It will not work that way, I said *please* 😄

Stryker990•4/4/24, 12:23 PM

Lets do it again "tomorrow"

Ice•4/4/24, 12:23 PM

I saw some guys say it was fairly quick

Ice•4/4/24, 12:25 PM

I honestly don’t remember the last time I bought anything outside the US

Bob Bushman•4/4/24, 12:33 PM

Nothing happened on my tracking for a week, then it took like 24 hours and then it was on a ups truck.

Sure that truck got lost, and the driver got scared of the white stuff on the road, so had to meet him halfways to town, the usual ups drama.
Well at least they didn't deliver this to my neighbours bushes like they did with my virpil kit.

Bob Bushman•4/4/24, 12:34 PM

Although a large part of why nothing happened was from my unit shipping out on the 21st of December

White stuff on the road?

Oooh wait snow?

Yup

Bob Bushman•4/4/24, 12:38 PM

Cold dihydrogenmonoxyde.
Dangerous stuff that.

Fr4Ged•4/4/24, 12:42 PM

the last mile always is a gamble

Stryker990•4/4/24, 12:44 PM

Stupid Q maybe but what side is official the front of the base?

Fr4Ged•4/4/24, 12:47 PM

the one without the buttons. I mean you can always rotate

Number481•4/4/24, 12:47 PM

The side that is facing you, of course

NNumber481 The side that is facing you, of course

Fierce_Fire•4/4/24, 12:50 PM

No, the front side is in the front obviously

Boggy•4/4/24, 1:36 PM

@walmis just want to say THANK YOU for making this fantastic piece of equipment! The Rhino, along with the Crystal, is the best thing I have ever bought for DCS. It's such a joy to fly with this thing and the versatility of it makes it extraordinary. I frickin love this thing!

They really took “aim for the bushes” to heart with your Virpil kit

Fill it out quick. After I filled mine out I jumped a ton of spots.

Ice•4/4/24, 4:20 PM

I filled mine out within like 10 minutes of receiving the email.

Yep, I already did!!!

Ice•4/4/24, 4:22 PM

54 isn’t far! I was like 46 last week.

Ice•4/4/24, 4:22 PM

I jumped spots twice in 2 weeks.

corbu1•4/4/24, 4:23 PM

Wow that’s great. I‘m really coming closer to it!!!

Ice•4/4/24, 4:24 PM

I wonder what percentage pre-orders don’t follow through. I think something like 100-175 people in front of me did not purchase theirs.

The funniest bit as that they kept swinging their arms and legs aaaalllllllllll the way down

Chuff•4/4/24, 4:40 PM

I've posted this before, but my original assigned serial# was 580, and I ended up getting rhino #400

Chuff•4/4/24, 4:41 PM

I think a huge number of fence sitters just go ahead and get on the list since it's so long. I don't think it's so much that people opt out at the last minute as it is that because the list is so long, people just hop on "just in case", then when their number comes up they've moved on or decided not to purchase.

Chuff•4/4/24, 4:41 PM

In other words, they weren't really committed in the first place. More of a "just in case" reservation

IIce 54 isn’t far! I was like 46 last week.

Bob Bushman•4/4/24, 4:51 PM

probably a fair few cancelations he hasn't updated the system with when you get your notificiation,
I got my notice filled in, got my payment request an hour later and it shipped same day

walmis•4/4/24, 5:00 PM

Roughly 22% don't respond to the email/DM and the other 22% cancel explicitly, the rest are fulfilled orders

Handy#8443•4/4/24, 5:33 PM

I kinda feel bad for the folks who can afford it when their reservation comes around but choose not to go ahead... don't know what they're missing.

Chuff•4/4/24, 7:34 PM

completely agree. I assume that quite a few of them decide that FFB isn't going to contribute that much to their overall experience. I almost passed up on my reservation because I don't fly helis at all and warbirds very little, but finally decided to give it a shot thinking I could always sell the Rhino if I wanted. SO glad I did.

Chuff•4/4/24, 7:36 PM

Even modules with little / no native FFB stuff like the Hornet are way better with the Rhino. The gimbal feels better than anything else I've used in those modules, and the little things are VERY helpful in a sim. FE, I have the runway rumble and speedbrake rumble on in the hornet but turned way down. Not realistic for that aircraft, but in a sim world where you have no physical feedback it's pretty helpful to tell me that my wheels are off the ground or I still have the speedbrake out.
