Few aircraft in history have flown to the same level of distinction as McDonnell Douglas’ F-4 Phantom II. It was the jet that ushered in a new age of fighter aviation, proving itself on the f…
TRead the article and you see about half way down where is says what airmen used to call her.
(Yep we’re driving Rhino’s with a Rhino)
(Yep we’re driving Rhino’s with a Rhino)
TSo it’s really only fitting that we have a wing of Rhino drivers.
TMaybe someone should save that somewhere..
It’s very fitting the plane nicknamed the Rhino is from an era before FBW so it’s going to take full advantage of “the Rhino” FFB systems…
I’m pretty excited for this one for sure

TAnd yeah she’s a match made in Heaven to the VPforce Rhino.
I already know this one is going to be great to fly with FFB

TSee above and yep we’re going to build an entire wing of Rhino drivers!
SI’m going to read that now. And yeah! I’ve been excited for the Phantom ever since I got my Rhino. I knew it was going to be perfect for it, especially with Heatblur as the devs!
T@walmis @Subsonic (Protomaker) see what I posted above.
You guys know the F4 was affectionately known as “the Rhino”
And like.. a bunch of folks with FFB will be flying phantom II (aka the Rhino)

Ahello again. I would be grateful if someone can help with Rhino and IL2. It is the only device connected so nothing interferes and IL2 recognises the device when started up but when I try to map it the game does not listen to the Rhino and can´t do anything
NYou likely have too many usb devices. Lot of people use HIDHide to mask unneeded devices from IL2. But you can test just by disconnecting any devices you don’t use in IL2.
AYes, that is what I did. I unplugged almost everything and still nothing. It is annoying.
ACould it be related to the port selected in the telemetry text added in the LUA file?
AI guess not but asking from ignorance
NNo, that’s completely unrelated to the joystick. IL2 doesn’t even know it’s related to the joystick. It’s just sending packets to an IP address.
I’ve never had to work through the issue myself so I can’t give you any other tips, but I’ve seen others with the same issue (can bind but doesn’t respond in flight) solve it with hidhide
Maybe this post will provide more insight? https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/72473-so-you-went-and-bought-too-many-peripherals/

Il-2 supports up to 8 devices. It's possible to exceed that limit, either because you have multiple vjoy devices, have racing gear attached in addition to your flight hardware, or maybe you just went a little wild building your home cockpit. This is a short guide to fixing that problem. If You On...
AThanks @Number481 !!
CHello! Was getting back into my tomcat and viggen yesterday, and noticed the autopilots did not seem to work as intended. is there something in the special settings that I need to enable or somewhere else to get these working correctly with the rhino base?
Please tag me so I ensure I don't miss the answer if you have one!

DIs there a way to make the pedals do a self test? like make them move on their own from min-to-max range for a few times? I want to see that the motor is pushing the pedals to their max
D@Number481 @walmis
Dalso, is there a way to have the Joystick and Pedals named separately? unfortunately when I choose a USB Device Ident for one, the other gets that name too..
WChange the USB PID to 2054 for pedals and 2055 for Joystick
WWindows doesn't support different JS names for the same PID
Dany thought about my other question regarding a self test?
Wnot sure I follow the purpose of the test 
DI was thinking it would be good to see it move from minimum to maximum range to check and visually see if it has consistency in the belt / motor movement etc. putting my feet on it and moving it to maximum I don't want to influence it's own movement
Dthis is a brand new, never used rhino (motor) pedals and I want to make sure it's all working as expected
Aself calibration would be cool

WAluminum grip shipped for me this morning, thanks @walmis for the quick response - I know you’re keeping busy, I appreciate the help. Looking forward to trying the Rhino soon.
WIf there’s no guide on swapping grips I can take some pics and post here at some point if anyone is interested
FHey how can I get those pedals ??
SThe brake axis doesnt work on mine i can see it says brake axis but doesn’t register
S@walmis
NI have a little tester app I wrote that can do this... its not very polished though I wrote it for myself as an easy way to play around with different combinations of effects and forces when writing new effects. I can send you a copy if you want (no warranty expressed or implied

PWhen I bank left or right there seems to be some inertia that carries the stick further into the turn than it should. I would think that the inertia setting would fix this but I haven’t had luck with that yet. Can anyone suggest what setting I might want to tweak?
AHi @Number481 I solved it. Indeed my problem was that IL2 already had 8 devices identified. Not sure when IL2 included the Winwing MIP screens but yes, that was the issue. The post you gave me was actually not necessary but gave me the info I needed. It was as simple as opening the IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\input\devices.txt and delete all unnecessary devices. Then open IL2 and map the Rhino as usual. Great info, thanks very much!!!
RYea I ran into that one with IL2. I had to do some wild contortions of Joystick “melding” to stick with their mind shatteringly primitive DirectInput Windows 97 limitations.
Foooh....could you please send me a copy of that one, please? been looking for something like that!
KI would like to try it
TDid you say Tester… 
DI busted this part.... please help!!!
D
D@walmis how can I replace this?
BGently bend the pins back, and gingerly reattach it 
DIf it’s safe enough for you to use, id be happy to give it a go
DYep. Trying to. So far the joystick buttons are not responding.
NIt’s safe enough. It totally won’t hijack your GPU and start mining crypto and sending it to my wallet or anything….
But it will do to your device whatever you tell it to.
It’s in a GH repo but it’s been a while since I updated that with any of my local changes. I’ll update the repo and post a build to GH and send you guys that asked a link to it later this evening when I get back home.
