I like the look of the Virpil FLNKR grip for me it will come down to the weight and whether I want to swap out the CM2 grip and how much that will be. I find the CM2 is a good choice with the Rhino for flightsims and then I use the Alpha primes on non-ffb bases for space sims

mechsicko•7/1/24, 3:12 PM

Real Warthog grip, not TM's tribute version. Real Warthog grip has no pinky paddle and terminates straight at the bottom for center mounting unlike F16 that has a 13deg fwd angle for side stick ergonomy. But just like the F16 grip it is derrived from, it is investment cast aluminum https://essexindustries.com/products/a-10-flight-control-stick-grip/

... And I love it. I had Alpha and Alpha Prime... I went back to TM's A-10C and F/A-18 grips. But I'm def getting a FLNKR. it feels super nice in the hand, and the new hat design is very clever.

blave549•7/1/24, 4:10 PM

BTW I know I mentioned this "somewhere" but the hat design of the FLNKR is new. When you press down slightly on the hat to actuate the center switch, it gets "locked to center" so that the other four (or 8? I don't know) switches cannot also be activated. That was the main thing I didn't like about the Alpha grips.

The regular rhino doesn't have an internal psu, just your regulsr 180w power brick.

Jj9murphy the psu that comes in the rhino, or the 1000 watt one I have?

Hiob•7/1/24, 5:15 PM

Important is the Amps the PSU can deliver. The more the better of course, but you can limit the power draw of the motors in the software. So when your PSU can deliver 40 Amps (make sure that the Amps can be delivered on the rail you are using if the PSU has more than one) you can power 4 motors with 10 Amps each or 5 with 8 and so on.

j9murphy•7/1/24, 5:27 PM

single rail, 42A

Fenrir•7/1/24, 7:46 PM

Hi all, some assistance required - I am looking to use a VKB Tomcat Grip with the VP Rhino - I want to floor mount the Rhno and need ~200mm extension by my calculations; can I use the VKB one or will I need a third party, and what adapters will be required?
Many thanks in advance.

walmis•7/1/24, 7:48 PM

You can use either a Virpil extension or a VKB extension. I'd recommend a Virpil extension + VKB adapter on top since the M36 thread is more robust vs the VKB nipple for a long extension.

Hope all is well, rooting for Walmis and VPForce to continue to grow. The only way this news has impacted me is I’m now willing to run my Rhino at ‘full’ power.

Stryker990•7/2/24, 12:10 PM

So the rhino throw is 44° in all directions right? So if i want to order a throw limiter plate that matches the 75% program limit is set then that should be 33°? Its basic math but just wanna make sure i dont overlook anything

Eraseri•7/2/24, 12:12 PM

It's 44° the whole X or Y -axis

Stryker990•7/2/24, 12:14 PM

So 16.5° instead

Eraseri•7/2/24, 12:19 PM

Why do you want to have 75 % program limit?

FFlyingEstee Anyone here using a NLR Flight Sim Pro with the Rhino? How are you securing it?

Dracks•7/2/24, 12:19 PM

Hello friend, I don't have this system but you'll find some pictures of my installation on a classic rig. As far as I know, the NLR system looks a bit like this (??).

In any case, I don't have any movement or flex.

EEraseri Why do you want to have 75 % program limit?

Stryker990•7/2/24, 12:22 PM

Why wouldnt i? The full throw is to much and the default 50% (11°) on the throw limiter plate is to little so 75 is the happy medium for me

Eraseri•7/2/24, 12:22 PM

You should probably approach the topic with possible extensions in mind

Eraseri•7/2/24, 12:23 PM

I would probably keep the original throw without extensions

For me the original throw is perfect.

Then just elevate or mount it to a base somehow.

Anyone know how to fix (nose up trim aka hat dwn) moves my stick forward

Col. Sanders•7/2/24, 6:30 PM

So it's reversed?

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:31 PM

forces fly correct but trim force is wrong

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:32 PM

If i swap axis in config then force is reverse but trim is correct

Interesting, what game?

Col. Sanders•7/2/24, 6:35 PM

Have you verified that your trim binding is not backwards?

RRoboGeoff what's the height of the gimbal stem coming out of the Rhino?

mechsicko•7/2/24, 7:46 PM

Looks to be just south of 95mm

CCol. Sanders Have you verified that your trim binding is not backwards?

Mistic•7/2/24, 7:53 PM

Yes lol. Turns out MSFS you have to unbind your axis and let trim do its thing. Sorry I am a real pilot doing this stuff and just hard to explain. Essentially the software and sim are conflicting on this stuff. Best way I can say it is if you fly and pull nose up trim (trim hat down… stick travels aft, nose goes up) the rhino moves fwd. anyway I kinda found a solution in the support

Col. Sanders•7/2/24, 8:41 PM

No worries I totally understand, I am a GA pilot myself. But not a software expert, so guessing on double checking low hanging fruit.
