Guys what are the dials on the unit for ? Just paid for mine instead of a brunner, over £600 cheaper plus import and tax costs on top . Looking forward to getting some real feedback from my rig, it’s now cost me £12k
I 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
Is it just plug and play ? How much feedback does it give you as I’m going to use mine for landing practice as I’m rough when I’m with the instructor, not getting enough air time because they are that busy.
the 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
Certainly 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.
Hi All, So I’m thinking I may get the Wingwing F16 EX (for the buttons!!!) to replace my TM F18 on a VKB GF base. I’ve 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?
Youll 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
I 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.
There 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
Or for some planes that have covers on switches i bind the open state of those covers to those so when im using the plane normally ill open them for easier use
Yeah I know I’m sort of wired funny that way but what I mean is I don’t want an expensive paperweight after building the Rhino so unless I need it I’d prefer not to buy it.
Do you guys prefer to use them so you can still use the set up software on the sticks? Or can I just get away without it.
I still have a base for my VKB MCGU grip and I decided to change the functionality of one of the buttons and I might need the base for that, I don't really know
Whatever setup (software configuration to the base+stick) you do will be specific to the base. Once you change bases, you’ll lose all of those settings. Nothing is saved to the stick alone. So if you’re only going to use the Rhino as your base then don’t buy the paper weight.
