VPforce RHINO FFB H-Shifter (Detents feature showcase)

Detents will be available in the next firmware release 1.0.17

amadeus•6/28/24, 4:28 PM

Software update he is working on I believe (at least for the detents and stuff, dunno if he’s using a special limiter plate as well tho)

walmis•6/28/24, 4:39 PM

Yeah, it's all software. Detents can be dynamically created and adjusted for both axes, even by telemFFB

PiNKSH!T•6/28/24, 5:28 PM

is this something you feel is up to being released in the next update?

Spitfire ZX•6/28/24, 6:46 PM

that's a pretty neat use case for FFB that I hadn't considered honestly

Spitfire ZX•6/28/24, 6:47 PM

I only have a cheap G29 ish wheel and didn't care to buy a shifter because I'm much less interested in cars/driving, but if I had a Rhino already...

Bob Bushman•6/28/24, 6:48 PM

Would be more interesting to have this for a ffb throttle with detents. But thats me.

Spitfire ZX•6/28/24, 6:49 PM

some kind of FFB throttle would be neat too, although I would imagine that would require a different form factor

LastRonin•6/28/24, 6:50 PM

Looks like the Virpil FLNKR grip has modules like the VKB Gunfighter Ultimate

LastRonin•6/28/24, 7:04 PM

Not sure what to think about the single stage trigger though

LLastRonin Looks like the Virpil FLNKR grip has modules like the VKB Gunfighter Ultimate

Diverzant•6/28/24, 7:16 PM

Hats at least look identical (probably even the same ones)

Reed•6/28/24, 7:31 PM

I'd love the ability to change out button and have as many 4 way hats as possible and just 2 push buttons

Reed•6/28/24, 7:32 PM

I hate thet all the grips are going light weight metal. I prefer the lighter alpha grip. Also makes tuning the rhino center point easier than with my heavy warthog grip.

AndyHill•6/28/24, 7:41 PM

Tianhang's use nylon with CNCed aluminum connector/locking ring (and they have otto-esque push buttons and triggers
Their f-16/a-10c grips are under 400g iirc. excellent choice for FFB bases

If he used an analog switch for paddle switch that could double as a brake lever, I would have already bought one of his super nice grips

nubbins•6/28/24, 8:49 PM

unfortunately, he doesn't

nubbins•6/28/24, 8:50 PM

Might be better ergonomics too as it reflects a newer evolution of the Russian design

nubbins•6/28/24, 8:51 PM

But the weight distribution might be different

would be nice if he can make the first eastern stick to actually have triple triggers

nubbins•6/28/24, 8:52 PM

But I'm not sure I would want a nylon flanker stick

Old Prospector•6/28/24, 8:53 PM

Flnkr seems like a good candidate for cerakote!

the smooth finish might be durable enough not to warrant it

But is it sukhoi blue

nubbins•6/28/24, 9:51 PM

oh yeah @=RS= ddrake1984 you got hands on with the FLNKR at the show right? Does it have triple triggers? it looks like it in the photos

nubbins•6/28/24, 9:51 PM

1 AP and 2 flip

nubbins•6/28/24, 9:56 PM

never mind, all it took was to watch the trailer

finally a faithful representation of flanker controls

LastRonin•6/28/24, 9:59 PM

I hope they do something about the gating on the hats though

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 11:25 PM

Agreed, I feel this is likely one of, if not the best reconstruction of a russian grip to date

amadeus•6/28/24, 11:31 PM

I want to get a metal grip for the rhino, def kinda vibin this new Virpil one too :thonk:

AndyHill•6/28/24, 11:34 PM

a lot depends on what kind of hats it has

walmis•6/29/24, 5:32 AM

It would probably 99% work if the hardware button/hat layout is somewhat consistent with their other grips

Having resin RealSimulator F-16 and F-18 grips, I never want a "metal" grip. I guess it's preferable to cheap plastic

PiNKSH!T•6/29/24, 11:55 AM

yeah a light weight high quality plastic or resin is way better with the Rhino imho. A really nice light weight metal would be good too, the WW F-18 grip isn't too heavy, then compare to the VKB mcgu which feels like a club on the end of an extension. I blame TM for the "metal grips are superior quality" idea

RoboGeoff•6/29/24, 11:56 AM

except Thrustmaster wasn't. That painted cheap cast alloy is terrible. They were maybe superior to the cheap joystick plastic shells of the 2000s

Bob Bushman•6/29/24, 12:03 PM

The buttons where heavier, and it helps when your only competition has design flaws in everything causing them to fail after a few months.

I found it interesting how my warthog throttle and virpil throttle weighed exactly the same, people still seem to think, "It's heavy, it must be quality."

The warthog had double steel bottom plates with half a dozen lead weights attached, the rest apart from the stamped sheets on top of the grip is plastic and glue.

I've gotten less flex out things I've 3d printed than those throttle levers.

PiNKSH!T•6/29/24, 12:04 PM

oh yeah I agree TM metal was/is crap, but their marketing was good to get ppl to believe that metal must mean better.

Diverzant•6/29/24, 12:12 PM

TM Warthog is like 100 years old now, when you compare it to the plastic grips of the time it came out, the metal TM really wasnt that bad. Now though its just outdated by a mile
