I found a company that sells cyclics that work separately through a box like the dwllamVKB one, so it can be used with any base
PThey can build adapters too
Fah yes that is possible
PNice
PThey produce metal grips too
CIf you want heli cyclic not connected with rhino base …..naybe the rhino’s force trim function does not work?
PThat's why I was asking if it works without a stick connected... physically it's connected but I don't think it receives direct inputs from the stick
COthers might know…I‘d guess you need two usb connections then. One for rhino and one for the stick?
PYea
Pthey have also given availability for customized extensions, they are open to any request
CThen it might work. Probably is @walmis best to know
PGood idea, I don’t know if I can post the link here, I’ll wait
CI'm pretty sure the rhino gets its trim location in the telemetry from the sim, so force trim should work just fine. It works just find in the vkb sticks I believe, and those are running through a vkb black box rather than the rhino
FThere should be a program to get stick inputs into the rhino base
FIt's used mostly for vkb sticks but it should work for others as well

I'm intrigued by the word of another company offering cyclics that might be able to work with the Rhino some way or another. Especially with the CH-47F release a month away.

JI'm assuming it isn't Komodo Simulations, correct?

F"affordable" 
JThere are very few cyclic grip makers on the market - even Virpil doesn't seem keen to make some (yet? hopefully?)
PLook at the YouTube channel, a lot of nice shorts 
WIf you need hardware trim functionality you can "loopback" the grip buttons back to the Rhino using the loopback utility included with the configurator. It allows to use any attached game device to send buttons back to the Rhino and emulate a directly connected grip to the Rhino.
Pso if a stick can interface with the PC and therefore communicate with the program to use Loopback it can work with the Rhino
WYep
Pand I'll just have to create an adapter to connect the cyclic to the Rhino right?
Pthen it is also possible to use their Grips...
WYeah, the Rhino has M36x2 threads, that thrustmaster and Virpil uses
PExcellent
PThe Rhino with his software has no limits 
PThank you Walmis, now I just have to wait for your invoice 
O2 weeks to wait for mine to come over from France, can’t wait

MHi, shouting out to any users on here who have the Rhino and also the Harrier module…… I have not flown it for a while and have noticed that now, when in use, the feel of the stick is very different. I had differing profiles loading for each jet via Telem FFB, so that was expected, however, the Harrier profile was essentially the same as my F18 profile. I have checked and indeed, all settings are the same, in both VP conf and Telem…….however, they feel completely different….In the Harrier the stick feels very stiff and will almost stay where it moves, like is extremely damped and with lots of friction. Also, the trim does not appear to move the stick like it used to…..How can this be, when all settings are the same? I am really puzzled. I was hoping other FFB Harrier users could comment and maybe share their profiles. I can post pictures of both profiles to show the settings. I can only surmise that the FFB effects coming from the Harrier in game are producing the effect, however, I never noticed this before, this is comparatively recent……
WMaybe you have friction effect enabled in the configurator ?
MHi, that was it Walmis....although the settings were teh same, I did not notice one had it ticked and teh other did not......D'oh! Thank you.....I do still have the issue of the trim not moving the stick...? I do have trim workaround for the Harrier enabled in Telem.....
Mcould you share the part number of the rod ends you ended up using?
PMy Reservation Status says Notified. Should I have received an email or message?
WYou should receive an email/DM promptly, thanks
DWhen is the MFG FFB kit expected to start shipping?
Si know it wasnt that long since but firmware update with F-16EX virtual buttons when?
SI listed this in suggestions but it’s more fitting In general:
So should I use the VKB extension stick with the Vpf base or would that be really long? Correct me if I’m wrong but I’d feel more force with a shorter stick right?

WSorry, I coudln't find the exact ones now. They came from the UK, and I think were using in racing gocarts. If that helps.
JYou would feel more with a shorter stick yes because physics, or more specifically it would be 'harder to move the stick' at same nm set compared to a longer extension
but it is still all down to preference. Similarly you would feel more strength with a lighter grip (i.e. mcg pro vs mcg ultimate)

Jso for example on a 200mm extension while the mcg u works perfectly fine it'll feel a little different from using the mcg pro
MI got tired of rodends which are either cheap and sloppy or expensive and less sloppy and make my own pushrods now.. 1 end is a regular ball eating the other is a self-aligning type. My initial units are made from 2 stainless laser cut pieces that are soldered together but will switch to cast ones in the future. They look like this (missing the self aligning bearing):

SI'm wondering if someone managed to get this working with the Rhino. Currently in Win11 the joystick menu in game does not recognize any joysticks.
DCan someone explain or point me in the right direction for dealing with the trim in the Apache? I am just not understanding it at all.
IAt what temp does the Rhino's fan come on and at what temp does it begin to reduce force?
