Hello, does anyone know what the ETA is on the VPC Rhino if I were to preorder today?
Hello, does anyone know what the ETA is on the VPC Rhino if I were to preorder today?
Aall I know is that it's very hard to tell right now
Athere are quite a few people lining up, but apparently many of them don't follow through with their orders
Ai would say anywhere from at least 4 months minimum, but probably not more than a year
Athat's my handwavy guess xD
RI think the orders have ticked down 200 spots in a little over a month
GAnyone here has the spitfire on dcs? The pitch axis center position is off, anyone knows how to edit the lua file to fix it?
TThere is a bot you can ping or just search up for the last time someone else pinged it but the “average” is 200 days which is just about 7months from the day you join the list to the day it lands at your door.
As I said there’s a bot that shows the real life numbers and averages

Further testing with the VPforce Rhino, force feedback joystick base. Taking off from @TrentonPalmer house in the Kitfox Stage 2 - MSFS2020 and down to Reno airport, testing the software, a deeper dive into the settings plus, a look at the stick choices and what I feel works best.

Nvery nice setup, but is this where the concern about vkb clamp "flexing" comes from? sounds like something is wrong with that particular z-extension, which is a custom design (from the reddit dude who wrapped his MCG Pro in bike tape?), should probably try another design perhaps TM-Rev.C instead of Rev.B-Rev.B or Rev.C-Rev.C
Nusing neok's z-extension design printed out of just normal PLA + walmis' rev.C adapter, there is no problem with flex or play
CBeen a while since I checked - do we have an update on recommeded Rhino and DCS F4 settings from the Heatblur dev who got a Rhino?
WHey, put in an order request, I'll send you a couple of replacement collars 
SNot sure if that was ever asked but if u get the FFB kit for the MFG Crosswind will you be able to add a center detent in the software so you can feel when your rudder is centered?
WIt's possible with the current firmware
SHm you just got closer to be ~400€ richer :MurmKek:
SWhats the current preorder time for the crosswind kit or is there none? (Seems quicker to make than a complete rhino)
DNone at the moment
SWhat modifications would i need to do to my crosswind to mount the ffb kit?
VHey, thanks for the reply I've made a request

SHiobs looks like a DIY kit? And "pending" so ur not shipping yet?
SCan you explain a little more how it feels off to you?
GOn the mustang it works fine. But the y axis (pitch) on the spitfire starts at 10% pull, so the plane immediately starts going nose up. And the range on the y axis , if i push the stick it goes 80% from center and if i pull the stick it goes 100% of the range. So if I could change the neutral position on the lua files I think it would solve it. Other people reported pitching problems with the spitfire before, and it was a bug on the module because it went away by it self. Was not double mapping or anything like that.
SOk, and in what situation it started with 10% pull? Airstart?
GAny circumstance. Dark on the ground, airstsrt
GAll
GI managed to center the y axis messing with the "invert y axis" option and then going to the mapping of the pitch "tune center" and inverting again. That way it centers , but its too sensible, but if I add any curve or saturation to make it feel better it goes off center again
GI think the main issue here is the unbalanced pitch axis, it goes 90% pushing the stick but goes 100% when I pull the stick. (Full range of values from center) if I could change that somewhere in the lua files for the spitfire module
GBut I didn't find anything on the default lua in the module to change the values of the pitch axis
SAre you adding curves in DCS? I think that might be your problem. You should be running your axis without any adjustment in DCS
GThe problem only happens with the spitfire module, and other people had the same issue.
GIn the beginning it had the problem even without any curves.
GBut I figured how to overcome that by inverting the axis. But the module still has the unbalanced pitch axis. I'm trying to find a way to change the neutral position on the lua files for this module.
SOk. I'll give it a try when I'm back home
SOnly flown the Mustang
CIs there a FFB kit or adapter anyone has published for the VKB Pedals? I thought I saw one a while back but can't find it now
AI may have to start calling my MFGs pendals from now on
GThanks
1Does anyone know the lead time for a DIY kit to the states?
Sabout 6 days
1oh awesome, thanks
Wim reading throught the assembly manual from github right now, and in the beginning it mentions 20V DC power supply, when in the end it mentions a 24V one, which one is a better choice? I already have a 19.5V laptop power supply, would that work fine?
M24 is the better option these days.... you get more power on less amps which is a good thing. The 20vdc recommendation is a vestigial remnant from the beginning of the project when the caps or other components in the drives had lower ratings than they do these days
Wokay, i will run it off the laptop one until a 24V one arrives then. Thank you!
OWell I got someone to sort out the sim, and that VP Rhino is something special.
A bit more fiddling and I’ll have it just like my ikarus I’m learning in.
No more no feel touch and go’s, I’ve got a month to get my landings sorted before my lessons start again.
Happy days
