Probably VAT + brokerage fees, someone from UK might correct me

QR4rigs•5/16/24, 7:20 PM

For us in the UK 2 weeks ago, TNT (the courier) use a conversion rate of 1 : 0.9923 (Euro : GBP). TNT (via CAP Gemini) charged £15.30 processing fee.
so multiply your product charge total by 0.9923
then mutiply the result by 20%
then add £15.30
To note, CAP Gemini are used as an outsource for tax collection, hence the conversion rates are VERY high. They took about a week to contact us once the package had landed at the TNT hub.

Time to start voting against importation tax guys. Throw some tea into the harbor and get some muskets

@walmis any updates on the mfg ffb mod? Anyway to check our place in line?

That only shows the rhino and accessories. Nothing on the mfg ffb mod.

FlatSpin•5/17/24, 3:28 AM

I didn't know there was a pre-order form for the mfg ffb mod.

HoopDaBoop•5/17/24, 3:31 AM

Is there anything similar planned for the Virpil Ace pedals?

I have seen very good instructions on GitHib for a DIY solution but no kit that I am aware of

FlatSpin•5/17/24, 3:32 AM

it's been requested on the wishlist, along with winwing and mfg.

Cowboy10uk•5/17/24, 12:11 PM

Damn you’re quick getting that shipped. Cannot wait. No just need to work out a way to mount it on my setup.

Cowboy10uk•5/17/24, 12:13 PM

Anyone else attach one of these to a monstertech desk mount? It is the XL length luckily

HoopDaBoop•5/17/24, 12:14 PM

There is a monstertech mount for the Rhino offered as an accessory I heard

Touch_Of_Legend•5/17/24, 12:53 PM

I would look into alternative mount solutions.

After looking at figuring out a mount for myself I had originally wanted to go with a floor mount and extension but now I’m thinking the more accurate throw comes from a pedestal mount because the gimbal of the base itself is so far down it’s like having an extension already

Touch_Of_Legend•5/17/24, 12:57 PM

Also it’s just heavy… I wouldn’t want to use a table mount even if they made one.

Oh, a dedicated Tomcat cockpit! That is unique!

FLOW | 303•5/17/24, 8:06 PM

Just want to say the process was simple and easy and shipment was fast!!!! Thanks so much for great support and shipping. I can't wait to try this out

JJaeger Click to see attachment

Touch_Of_Legend•5/17/24, 8:59 PM

God dang that’s a serious mount!!

And does it have a brace on the bottom?

I’m thinking of doing a pedestal because I don’t want to use the extension..

After running it through a few mock walkthroughs (alerion and control surface checks).

The throw is pretty wide already so I love the unit how it is.

How are you liking the unit without an extension?

(Should also allow us to get slightly stronger feedback as well)

Jaeger•5/17/24, 9:10 PM

I did 3d printed support. Nothing fancy but it gives additional strength.
I don't need a extension, I even limited especially the forward throw, as well as the rest, to mimic the F-14 stick in game. I run kind of strong forces, which work out well, hard dogfight though will bring the rhino into thermal scale down. Throws off a little muscle memory but that is mostly lost in the moment. For warbirds and Helos a extension might be something to consider, but I don't miss one. Pretty happy as it is.

HBadger•5/17/24, 11:06 PM

I´m waiting for that message:"RHINO #0537 Has Shipped!" ... Fingers crossed

That was just dirty

You guys so bad

LAUZBOT•5/18/24, 4:45 PM

Checked the FAQ, and sry if this is available somewhere else but my pre-order is finally close! Woot!

Is there anything I have to do? Will I be auto charged and it'll ship? Thx!

Fierce_Fire•5/18/24, 5:29 PM

you should get an email, so check spam regularly

Fierce_Fire•5/18/24, 5:29 PM

it should have an invoice you can pay, after which itll ship within a few days

Ice•5/19/24, 2:48 AM

I signed up for the MFG FFB kit, any update on when those are expected to start going out?

Ice•5/19/24, 2:48 AM

I haven't even bought the pedals themselves yet. Waiting until I get closer to receiving my kit. I have Logitech pedals that work fine for the time being.

Soy•5/19/24, 3:24 AM

Daz_bike•5/19/24, 5:15 AM

Look for the Virpil Collective thread on this discord. That will give you some ideas of retrofitting to an existing collective. I believe there is also someone else who built a collective from scratch. I'm half way through the Virpil mod. Just waiting for a longer belt.

The potentiometer inputs can be assigned as axes in configurator.

SSoy whats the difference between the vpforce 57BLF03 and other versions?

Touch_Of_Legend•5/19/24, 8:00 AM

The numbers are the size.

The larger size are stronger motors but the large ones are for pedals mostly or for custom builds.

The DIY kit is designed around the 57’s

Soy•5/19/24, 8:02 AM

are the 57s enough or should I go for something bigger when I build mine?

Scarlet•5/19/24, 8:33 AM

I'm getting kind of fed up with my WW Libra base, clunky and sloppy around center. Should I get another spring base now or hold out for the Rhino waiting list?
I'm currently SN #1172
