it's just not worth the weight imo, for the flight sim application

Splus having more tactile switches is nice
SI was surprised though, the real trim hats were pretty mushy and pretty heavy
SI'm sure it varies a bit in aircraft as well, that was just my takeaway
Sand to clarify I mean the weight of the entire grip, the hats are fine
.Quick question guys.
What is the waiting time for VPforce motors?
Any estimate

AI don't have personal experience but afaik the kits are being sent out fairly rapidly
Awithin days iirc
.Thanks
Athe situation could fluctuate according to availability and other such issues of course, but to my knowledge the kits are basically just available and you only need to wait if you want the ready-to-go Rhino
RMine were 10 days from order until delivery this monday to Germany.
.Nice

DHi everyone! I've just received my VPRhino and the first test on DCS was really fun. All I have to do now is tweak the software and it'll be outstanding.
How have I been able to play without it for 25 years?
Thanks to Walmis for the wonderful work!
(The longest part was finding the right screws for my MTS rig ah ah ah
)

LIs there any way to know your position in queue?
BPm the VPforceBot with "!info youremail"
Jseems like the number of people dropping out the queue has gone way down:(
BHe has to manually update to account for the dropouts and he tend to do that I'm batches.
Didn't move much myself for a long time and boom, my number dropped by nearly 100.

PDo you guys have an idea of the average waiting times between pre-order and delivery ?
FYou mean the queue?

VHey @Fierce_Fire,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0530 on 2024-05-15
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 209 days, median is 215 days, max is 437 days
519 Rhinos are shipped in total

MIs there any kind of queue system for the ffb pedals? I signed up on day one, but the order doesn't even show up on the bot list
AI think it was just some kind of a preliminary thing
Aor organ donation, didn't look that carefully
HIt’s always the fine print that gets ya….
HIs it my imagination or does production seemed to have slowed recently?
HNoticed production was somewhere around 1-2 a day a month ago, but that has dropped recently.
CDidn't 3 ship today?
HJust looking at the numbers in my history and I think I am wrong.
The problem is most likely me

MHello,
MI'm new to the VP force discord and I'm thinking of building a Rhino. Now I'm wondering witch motors to choose. I have no Idea if the bigger Motors will fit in the Casing of the Rhino? It should not be a problem to change the casings construction sligthly but is there any need to do that?
Mbest regards Moritz
TThe GitHub and Protomaker DIY Rhino kit only fits the 57 size motors.
The 87 are significantly larger and will not fit.
Can the files and dimensions be altered to fit? Sure but that’s gonna be a freaking huge base.
The 87 motors do work for sticks but the larger motors are mainly for FFB Rudders because leg muscles are so much stronger.
May I ask why you want the larger motors?
The 57 are great and what the official Rhino uses.

MI just aske cause I don't wan't to pit too much effort in the printing and everythig to recognize that the stick has not enough force at the end.
MBut with your explanation I'm happy to go with the 57 size motors
Mthx a lot!
Mone last question, is there also a possibility to build some auto throttle with the Rhino kit?
F57 should be good for most normal uses, like sidestick or extensions <200mm(keep in mind the rhino is taller than most normal bases)
TThe “potential” maximum force depends on a lot of factors.
Basically it’s some complicated math but the 57’s max power comes from a higher power PSU and maybe with some radiator fins.
Also as discussed the length from motor to stick grip determines overall max force.

TWith a weak power supply you can watch the motors drop
FIirc no sim has support for auto throttle
TWithout cooling you could get better (longer duration) forces by avoiding the heat trip when it ramps itself down
FEh, i wouldnt be that concerned, i use 340w for the biggest motors and didnt have an issue
