Nonly if you convert it with either gunfighter rev.B or rev.C grip adapter, buy a blackbox, then buy the vpforce vkb adapter
SDang, is there an easier/cheaper stick? I might have to keep saving up for a bit.
LVIRPIL 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.
Nunfortunately, 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
Naside from vkb, winwing might come out as second cheapest if you buy a normal F16 stick on the US store, with the free shipping, $140 or so
Nbut ww needs an extra adapter, like vkb
Nbut then again, if you're considering rhino, is the ~$100 for a BB3+grip adapter+shipping really that big an issue? Even a DIY rhino will set you back far more than that
Nalso, selling the NXT and getting a [used] VPC grip could save a bit of money
MGot home today, unpacked the big box from Lithuania, and was wowed immediately by the Rhino build quality. I have a 3d printer, and I sure wish I could make my pirnter produce parts as lovely as VPForce. Piddled around and got it set up in between hanging with the kids and wife. Finally got the boys to bed, and loaded up default settings, with some simple axis swapping to match the orientation of the unit on my rig. Fired up DCS---and without any tuning, immediately realized what all the fuss is about. Truly transformative. Trimming is no longer an exercise of exasperating futility, and the hydraulic smoothness of the Rhino is a pleasure in and of itself. Can't wait to get some more seat time and tuning in the next few days. All this is to say . . . hang in there . . . the wait is worth it.
MBy the way--for the Winwing adapter users: if your grip is slipping/rotating in use, get some step grip tape (like sandpaper with adhesive backing), cut out a circle the diameter of the inside of the adapter, and a smaller hole inside it to expose the 6-pin connector, and stick it in the adapter. The bottom of the Winwing grip will not slip . . . Learned this method from Realsimulator forums to limit slippage on TM style grips.
TYeah I wish people could truly understand the feeling of FFB.
A lot more people would get them because it’s an eye opener for sure (especially if you fly heli or warbirds.. mid era like F4/F14)

BJust the configurability alone, sure you can tune a virpil/vkb gimbal but you will have to completely disassemble it and rebuild them. With ffb and the rhino in particular all of that and more can be tuned with a few button clicks.
Not to mention just in general as a straight up spring stick it makes my virpil feel like a clunky and grainy toy.

DTotally agreed on the experience. Its transformative. I received mine yesterday, connected my winwing f16 stick and launched into dcs after work. Started to fool around with the f4e and four hours later realized i should be in bed 
Cant wait to try out the apache tonight. Pairing this with vr (i have a crystal) is an eye watering experience (I started my flight simulator experience with f117a on a 386 ). I think the best way to summarize it is that it the feedback makes the plane feel alive. For me, this makes all other joysticks obsolete.

Mine was F15 Strike Eagle II, which I think was about that same time period as "F19"/F117a. Still have the 3 1/2 inch floppy disk. It truly is amazing how far both the sims and hardware have come.
Dmicroprose & ea/janes
Ddoes anyone remember yeagers air combat? i dont even want to think about how many hours my roomates and i spent on that.
LI've enjoyed WarBRD though it's one of the cheapest. It's shaped just like real Huey's and Phantom's grips and that's what I fly now. I've got two fancier, expensive grips too, but this feels better for F-4 and UH-1. Make sure you have enough buttons elsewhere (I do I have pretty much everything mapped in both cockpits)
SI started with FS 3 i think, maybe 4. First milsim was Flying Fortress, the first iteration.
SAKA the good ole days
DIs the warBRD from plastic or metal?
DNvm
OWith the new QR system. It’s an amazing bit of kit
Mdid you ever play air warrior?
SNever heard of that one
SHey, where can I find the 3d print files for the belt covers? the ones in the knowledge base return 404
PThis is my biggest take away from FFB & the Rhino. FFB effects are cool & immersive but just the configurability alone makes it worth it. I really wish the bigger companies would consider going back.
NThese ones? https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1169287017268531225/1169287214656663622 Download still seems to work

TLook how many just shipped!
And wait until they clean up the list and your number drops like 100 spots.

DIm watching it every day and am honestly surprised that he averages pretty much 4 units a day. Thats awesome!
TYeah it’s embarrassing how long it took me to build mine..

Bcat starts choking on a ball bearing
BReliving my lost childhood, I've tried a few gundam models, and my cat thinks the most awesome thing ever is to chew on plastic, like he will chew on plastic till his gums start bleeding and I still have to fight him for it.
I swear he's tried to run off with an arm or leg more than once,
He is probably the dumbest cat I've ever seen.

TBro this is like.. triggering
But… I can’t lie it’s accurate
(Our two are 8 and 5 so yeah it was pretty much spot on)
The other part was.. Babe are the kids okay? Because… I haven’t heard anyone even move.
She says yeah they are having iPad time lol
I didn’t care because I was building a RHINO!!

WJust working on mounting my rhino onto some aluminum extrusion. The T-nuts I have take 5/16” bolts which is just under 2mm bigger than the 6mm holes. Does anyone know what the base is made of? Am I gonna busy things if I expand those holes a bit?
Nwhy not just buy a plate for it, on the extrusion size you want?
NMT has a 4080 plate, both foxx and pred have 1020 plates for rhino
N1530 might be able to use the 4080 plate idk
DIf i didnt select the VKB adapter on the pre order, is it possible to change it afterwards when walmis contacts me?
Fyou can select the accessories once you finally order the Rhino, yeah.
DOh thank god. Now VKB just needs to restock its EU supplies
Nyeah walmis is great
