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.

M481 just in case your interested thought I would give u my feedback on using the rhino with the mh60 mod - basically managed to get the hardware trim working by applying the setting to the stick (can see force trim is working from the axis display ) but using it this way the helicopter takes in a nose down attitude (even trimmed fully back stick) - only way I can get it flyable (with force trim partly working) is disabling the hardware trim and assigning force trim binds in game (makes it flyable) - just my experience…..not sure if anyone else had a similar experiences?
NAny plan yet to update the VKB adapter to rev.C?
WAlready done

now I wait patiently

SHow do people do their gooseneck extensions? Purchased product or DIY? If purchased, any good recommendations for vpc or winwing compatible ones?
TAny Ideas then the update including the Virpil Blackhawk grip will drop?
JI wish they made some cyclic grips as well
SI think the VPC Mongoose is close to a lot of eurocopter cyclics. Other untility choppers have fairly generic cyclic grips
DIn laymen's terms, what do these adapters do? Is it possible to use Virpil sticks with the Rhino? Would I need an adapter like this? Does an adapter already exist?

faqJvirpil works natively
Tdoes anyone know of a compatible grip that is very generic both handed for general aviation?
CYou need adapters for winwing and VKB sticks. TM and Virpil work by default
CI was hoping for a AH-64 Virpil cyclic grip, but doesn‘t seem to happen
PI think I'll try the MaxFlightSim collective, I'll let you know if and how it works

The Mongoose cm2 grip is an all round «does it all” grip for both helis and planes that natively fits the Rhino.

★ Cyrillic Button Labels
★ Based on Modern Russian Fighter Jet Controls
★ Material - Enhanced PU Plastic Construction
★ Wide Variety of Buttons, Triggers and Hats
★ Analogue Brake Lever
Due to the height of the grip, it is best suited for desk mounted/cockpit setups.

PI know but I don’t like that plastic
FWhy?
FHas been out of stock permanently for months now though
HI can relate, but metal adds weight that eats force feedback and adds heat to the motors. All in all, I don’t really think about it while using it, and I came from a metal thrustmaster warthog grip
HI assume they’re updating the model then. Been out for a while - always always to improve the grips
HVK / Winwing also makes great stuff, I think.
FAs a mcgu user, the only thing id change is move the body back to plastic tbh
FReason i went with it was the other benefits it gave, but coming from the gladiator the mcgu feels cold in the hand
PI wrote it wrong sorry, I don't like that TYPE of plastic
BYou're supposed to hold it, not eat it.
P
Pthe alpha prime gave me a different feeling, it seemed more solid, with the cm2 I had a better feeling with the grip but the plastic felt like one of those €2 Chinese toys. I'll point out, it's a personal opinion.
TInteresting. I actually like the cold metal of the MCGU. But I agree that it would lead to more work for the motors. Part of the reason I went DIY with the 8604 motors.
BI'm not so sure about the weight argument.
From googling the tm f16 grip is 350 grams, the listed weight for the cm2 is 340grams, I'll chuck mine on a scale when i get home but yeah, I wouldn't worry about weight difference.
For me the virpil costs $50 less and has significantly more buttons to bind giving increased flexibility.

FWell the mcgu has a direct plastic counterpart
BPut my cm2 on the scale now, and it clocks in at 356g.
A350 sounds very low for tm f16 grip
Aif I had to guess I'd say it's something like 3 times the weight of the cm2
Aof the top of my head, winwing f-16 grip and mcgu are soemthing like 600g, Cougar / Warthog are about 1kg
BYeah, not going to put too much stock in my googling there.
Excusably I did it on my phone while waiting for my fried chicken.

JI think TM f16 grip is about 1kg
AI could just weigh a cougar, but to do that I'd have to find my scale, find batteries for it and then touch a cougar
BCougars tend to be real touchy about their weight as well.
