Yeah I'm definitely keen for the metal upgrade walmis has on offer soon, though that isn't for an ad

CAny updates on the mfg ffb mod? Not seeing anything recently when I search.
Jit was up for pre order is last news, no word on when it will be out since that announcement
DA metal TM angled adapter would be great!
Fjust had my brother and wife try out the vpforce rhino...they had a fuckin blast!! this technology is soooooo crazy!!!!
Fhad them fly a huey on dcs hahah
MRhino by itself is so large it's like a regular joystick with a short (~8 cm) extension. It also has a very large throw out of the box. With a longer extension, you'll have to install more restrictive throw limiters to prevent it from hitting your legs and chair. So it's a trade off, and the extension is more to get the grip positioned comfortably depending on your base mounting location, than to increase the stick precision.
MI tried mine without extension, and with virpil z extension, and personally I prefer without extension. With z extension I had to install different throw limiter that negated most of the increased movement range. And had to crank FFB gain to the max to compensate for added lenght and weight.
MOn the other hand many people use rhino with an extension and it works for them. 
HThanks for a great write up- MichalK. I think im going to experiment without an extension first for a while.
Fto be noted that you don't have to get physical throw limiters as you can do that with the software as well

CI have the same one optimized for my Rhino setup.
LGot my Rhino today. Had the honor of getting it directly from Walmis hands in his workshop BTW, I have MKI VKB grip, which is not supported. It took Walmis to look at it for 10 seconds, and another 20 min to manufacture a proper adaptor. Such a great guy! Another thing that I was surprised, is the amount of stuff they doing in-house. They even mill some smaller aluminum parts!

Aso what new super secret stuff did you see?
TWhere did you guys get the 32cm extension?
LI have seen a nice workshop with two nice guys and one even nicer girl. Can not tell you anything else 
Awhat kind of a spy are you even
Adid you even see my mfg kit being built?
LSomething was being built, yes
Awhat else could it possibly be
ReBay
THRUSTMASTER WARTHOG/COUGAR ALUMINIUM GOOSENECK EXTENSIONS. You can order from this page OR my MAIN PAGE for WARTHOG EXTENSIONS.
RGreat seller to deal with, fast communication and shipping.
RLooks awesome.
LNo you don't. You can temporarily apply settings by pressing (just) Apply settings.
LThis reminds me: @walmis your order form only mentions VKB Gunfighter MK III compatibility, but MK II also had Rev.B connectors and is thus compatible.
S@walmis are you going to FSExpo? Great way to spread awareness.. you could probably sell enough rhinos to cover the cost https://flightsimexpo.com/
FlightSimExpo is one of the world’s largest dedicated flight simulation conferences and tradeshows. The next event takes place June 21-23, 2024 at Rio Las Vegas.
KHow/where you can set up throw limiter in SW?
FThe configuration app has the option

MOk got so u can test a change by hitting apply - and if u dont like it just restart the base and it resets to the saved settings?
BJust clicking "load settings" loads the stored settings on the stick as well.
VAbout the cooling fan; its loud and seems pretty ineffective (takes a long time for temps to drop 1 degree, especially considering the amount of noise). Not a big deal when wearing headphones, but flying solo I prefer not to. I dont know how the Rhino looks on the inside, I havent opened mine yet, but there has to be room for improvement here? For starters, is it possible to have the fan on at a low rpm all the time? Secondly, maybe some cooling fins on the motor if there is any room for it?
CWhat are you doing to get the fan to kick on? I never get mine to kick on.
BFrom what I'd understood it would turn on at about 50c, and that is still far from when the motors start to overheat.
Unless 40c ambient room temp, but then I'd suggest an AC more than an improved fan.

Aif you have enough spring force the fans will kick in with a reasonable amount of maneuvering
VTurn the master gain knob to full and fly for 30 mins, and they will kick in, Do I need full power? Hmm.. maybe not, but I do like it, and my PC room is still cool (it wont be this summer).
VYeah I think its 50C, and there is some hysteresis, I think it turns off at 47 or so. But even with no power being applied, that takes a pretty long time and there doesnt seem to be any fan speed control, its either on or off? That this is a safe temp; sure, probably, but that doesnt change anything really.
BI could be wrong, but I think the temps in question are internal motor temps.
And with these motors the casings are also used as heatsinks, great big lumps of them, so I'd expect they take a while to warm up and at least as long if not longer to dissipate, at least during use.

CMy settings must be a lot different. My master gain is 100 and I flying for hours and never had it go on.
Ait depends a lot on what you fly and how
Vyeah, but the casing, and Im assuming its just the stock stepper motor casing, doesnt have much surface area compared to some finned coolers. Gluing on some ribbed cooler could increase the surface area many fold and make the fan much more effective, assuming there is any room.
VFWIW, I had been flying the P51 in DCS doing touch and goes. I think the engine rumble is main culprit, always active. But I do like the engine rumble
CThat's probably it. I keep my engine rumble lower as I have a haptic seat that does most of that for me.
Fhaptic seat...please speak more of this haptic seat......
CI have a very basic Hf8. I play IL2 mostly, but it really adds to the overall experience. I use Simshaker wings program to adjust the seat
BInteresting, I'll try to reduce the rumble and see what happens
GHi, I also have the fan turning on very often. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your VP Force effects and settings screen? I would like to compare if my gains or my filter values the ones causing the overheat. I recently even ditched the extention to get more force. Thank you.
