You know Iβm not sure the logistics but maybe we could ask for a βFor $aleβ section where folks could pass on stuff they donβt need (like extra shift registers or plugs), or crafty folks could offer some smaller print services for βextensionsβ and you, and others, could offer kits.
I mean itβs legit so that shows potential users who is offering services and keeps a record or past contacts AND keeps new folks from being scammed by someone whoβs name is really closeβ¦ take the money and close out the discord before we can catch them (using a fake name similar to one of the sellers).
So yeah⦠I think IF we allow it? We should maybe look into a soft space to allow it to self regulate itself (and keep its own records).
Yeah, it should be about 6 months or so when I get mine, and it's already longer. If you have some DIY inclinations, you can get a kit and put it together yourself in a much shorter time. VPForce sells the motors and controllers. You can either 3D print the rest yourself, or there's some folks that sell this parts.
Whatever the wait time is for the Rhino it's worth it. The FFB "effects" are really cool & can help not just with immersion but also 'feeling' the aircraft better etc. which can lead to better flying. But for me the biggest thing about the Rhino & FFB is the ability to customize the feel of the stick & be able to change this with different profiles. No going in & swapping out springs & tweaking dampners etc. With vpforce config you can make you stick feel right for a modern 4th gen fbw jet & then with the change of profile you can make it feel like a heavy warbird. Also when it comes to flying helicopters in sim the Rhino is just the best thing you could get, propper force trim is the best! I really love my Rhino it has added so much to my flight simming experience. Also Walmis & the rest of the discord are so helpful when it comes to any questions or help you need, I have seen Walmis put out an update for a single person's needs & it was done in a single day, in fact a matter of hours. Walmis has done a great job with this community & his customer service.
@Tigermaus if you are remotly thinking about one go and put in a pre order now and get on the waiting list rather than wait a further month before starting at the back of the list Itβs a 6-9 month waiting list just now and you donβt have to put down a deposit or anything until your unit is built If you decide itβs not for you u can just cx and the next person in the list will jump up a place
As above, put your name on the list now. You won't even be able to pay until maybe a month out or there about. If you decide to cancel at that time, it's no big deal.
finally got my rhino base. 7 months. Anyone use a winwing f16 stick with the adaptor. Is anyone getting more than 32 buttons registering? some of the hats including the trim pov hat are not registering, basically anything past 32 buttons nor the axis based controls like the analog hat (part of the addon on the left) and the trigger pull axis on the bottom (buttons work on it)
VIRPIL grips work natively and are at least cheaper than Thrustmaster which also work natively. Can also go second hand route for either to find a deal.
unfortunately, unless you are willing to step down to warbrd/f14/kg12 levels of grip functionality, i'm not sure if there is a cheaper option than converting the SCG and buying a blackbox
