BYeah, I agree it's a bit vague, but it won't let me edit. I was wondering what length stick extension everyone used.
Fdid you get that aluminium thread mount or did you mount it on the standard one?
CNo, itβs the standard one.
CI donβt plan changing the extension too often. But I think about getting it.
MFYI if anyone is considering getting a simpit for the Rhino, Simfab has a mount for it now. Just added one to my "DCS" Simfab frame. https://simfab.com/product/vpforce-rhino-ffb-stick-base-bracket/
SimFab and OpenWheeler Officialmanager
This offer is for a custom made bracket kit to retrofit VPforce Rhino FFB base on SimFab framework. Stick base mounts on SimFab seat frame center tube. Bracket replaces and deletes the standard βcentered stick lower mount bracketβ. Kit has fixed height and no adjustment on seat base height. Overall stick height can be adjusted

PBeautiful! Which limiters did you get for this οΏ½οΏ½ ?
CThank you! I have 15 degree limiters mounted actually. But I have 11 degree as a fallback as well, but not tried yet.
Pjust do it, put you're name down, it's not the biggest deal in the world if you have to pull out when it's your time, that's how a lot of ppl jump loike 100 SN# all of a sudden, Walmis cleans up the pre order list. The Rhino is so worth it, if you do more than occasional sim flight & are serious about it & especially if you fly heli's in sim the Rhino is pretty much the single biggest upgrade you could do to your flight sim gear, seriously it is the best feeling base, the FFB effects are just a bonus, the ability to customize the feel of the stick per aircraft & do proper force trim in a heli it's insane!
Dwow. he's come a long way, I am #50
DI hope he increased the digit count, because my base only has room for 4 digits 
HPatiently waiting. was 724 when I signed up, but it is down to 441 now, Hope I get to see it this year, that would be awesome
HThere was only 1 big jump in the 4 months, otherwise it seems to be 1-2 a day but that seems to have slowed as well recently
OGuys what are the dials on the unit for ?
Just paid for mine instead of a brunner, over Β£600 cheaper plus import and tax costs on top
.
Looking forward to getting some real feedback from my rig, itβs now cost me Β£12k

Fone of the dials is a pot and you can bind various things to it. per default it is spring gain.
the other red button is a off/on switch basically

MI love that. Was actually talking to the owner when he was designing this (someone else asked for it, and he knew that I made my own) he went through quite a few variations, but eventually settled on doing it exactly how I mounted mine haha
CDid my first flight today with the Rhino installed in the AH-64D in DCS 
Itβs so great. Wish I could fly the whole night 
Itβs so great. Wish I could fly the whole night OIs it just plug and play ?
How much feedback does it give you as Iβm going to use mine for landing practice as Iβm rough when Iβm with the instructor, not getting enough air time because they are that busy.

Athe built in FFB for the apache is pretty good, you do have to make sure you setup the FFB options in DCS scorrectly, but other than that, should be very solid. the TelemFFB app will add some additional fun effects as well
Fyeah, I pretty much just decreased the effects in general, used the default TelemFFB profiles and went with it.
CActually just have set VPForce configurator software and FFB settings in DCS. And it feels pretty nice. Next step is configure TelemFFB.
OYouβve lost me already lol.
Itβs going to be a big learning curve for me.
Itβs going to be a big learning curve for me.
Fto me it was easier to set up than the VKB Gladiator and the Virpil throttle. lol
Fthere should be a note in the manual
Fbut its mostly going to dcs settings when not in a module, then to apache settings and there should be ffb or trim settings there
CI find the VPforce configurator software pretty easy to configure.
BCertainly compared to the earlier versions of the virpil configurator.
Hit the wrong button at the wrong time and you'd brick the firmware.
Luckily you could always get it booted back into flash mode so you could start from scratch.

BHi All,
So Iβm thinking I may get the Wingwing F16 EX (for the buttons!!!) to replace my TM F18 on a VKB GF base. Iβve ordered a Rhino already.
If I get the Winwing grip, do I also need to get their base unit or does the Rhino work direct with the grip?

CIt is? You mean the VPforce or the Virpil configurator?
BThe quite old (2016-17 days) and no longer used virpil configurator.
The rhino software is rather straight forward and clear.

CAh I seeβ¦Yes
SYoull need the winwing adapter to use the grip and without the base afaik you cant configure anything in the winwing software as it wont recognize it but you will be able to use the default settings
BAh. OK. So it would be good to know if anyone has another view and/or owns the Winwing F16EX as it would be good to not have to buy the base. Cheers
JI use the Winwing F16EX on a DIY Rhino. You need walmis WW adapter, everything else works out of the box. Only exception is the vibrating motor in the F16EX but with the Rhino you have much better options to get vibrations. I don't think that there is any need to use the winwing SW (which would require the WW base) because the Rhino SW ist pretty configurable by itself.

TPost like this give me hope thank you.
Iβm build a Rhino as my base and buying a nice stick.
I donβt want to waste money on a stick base I wonβt need/use so Iβd prefer to just buy the sticks.
I also plan to use a βshift registerβ but I assume you only need that with the DIY sticks?
Oh well as an international builder Iβd rather buy it and have it than need it and have to wait (and pay) for shipping.
So this is great if I can just get a decent stick and ignore buying those expensive bases like the cm3 or whatever

Fcalling CM3 expensive while building a Rhino base. just my humor. 
BWell one is expensive, the other is very, very expensive.

RHINO #0503 Has Shipped!SThere are a few things about f-16ex on rhino: no Firmware Updates, no rumble function and 2 of the virtual buttons on the secondary trigger wont work (btn41 and 42) but ive setup joystick gremlin to compensate for those
WWhat are the secondary trigger functions? Maybe I can add them in firmware
SThey are 2 button that activate at certain points along the axis
S
Wahh, i see
SAs said they are virtual buttons along the rz axis which are in adjustable on the original winwing software
