Weird request, but can I ask to be moved back, like, a 150 spots in the queue? No time for DCS in the next couple of months 
JHaha, that screw hole on the right doesn't even have threads, that entire stem is held in by 1 screw which is wild
JI replaced that stem with a 3d printed one
Sit is threaded isn't it? you have to remove a bolt through that location to get the shell apart
JAh ya I guess you are right
Pthis guy in the pics hdd needs to be checked 
II did the same, 3d printed a collar for the base and good to go
Iyou are wrong, that whole is for the screw that lock the other part of the grip, it doesn't need to have thread
OWell guys, had my first flying lesson in almost a year off due to work , weather and a run in with Covid again.
Bought the rhino a while ago and have used it a bit but not enough.
Take off was similar, after 30 mins I was back from the death grip of the stick and relaxed, now the good bit.
I’m still doing circuits, came in and did a decent landing with a slight crosswind.
My instructor said that’s not bad for a year off.
My landings are normally shit.
Worth paying for , definitely, is it exactly the same, no but it’s a massive help.
I’d say a good 7/10

SGlad you're back in the plane
AHe was already corrected and responded 
WIf only the 300+ in front of me were as considerate. 
PLong time no see mates
PI gonna ask what is the best vr for flight sims here 
any recommendations?
any recommendations?
SHaving only used a Rift S, I can't speak to much. But my wishlist would include a good dynamic range, wide FOV, dynamic foveated rendering, good nosegap visibility (to check physical switches/charts) alt. solid AR passthrough.
I don't think there's a system available yet that does all of that, but you can get most of it with things like the Quest 3 or Pimax Crystal

Bbest is very subjective. Whats your budget, just flight sims, ease of use, fiddle-factor, etc
Punder 2000usd because I will use VR only for il2GB for sim racing I don’t use. I really don’t like wear VR. but I think triples os not enough for flight sims because of vertical FOV
PQuest 3 I already have but other guys say it is not good enough 
Swell The Warthog Project (if you know who that is) just got his looking as good as the Reverb G2 with passthrough on stream (till it crashed :P)
PI think Quest 3 is better looking than G2 honestly

[Pimax Crystal (not the light) is very good for flight sims, especially DCS because of Quad Views Foveated. Massive performance gain. More FPS than Quest 3 while the image is significantly sharper.
A friend with quest 3 visited me on Saturday. He tried my Pimax Crystal (quad views/eye tracking) and said, he regrets to have not bought Crystal instead. he was impressed by the performance and the resolution/clarity at the same time.
He said it’s a bit heavy.
Just wanted to share his comparison between this headsets.

[So even without quad views, the Crystal has a better image.
I would say under 2000USD there is no alternative.
Somnium VR1 would be even better, quaility wise. But 2500-4000€.

SHello guys. I found an associate that will be taking over the sales and customer relations of the DIY kits. The will come in the known quality.
@kaltokri is the guy to talk to if you want one.
I will be in the background providing the 3D printed parts.
I thoroughly briefed him on the backs packing and labeling as well as everything else.
So if you wnat a DIY Rhino based on @Subsonic (Protomaker) s kit (sligtly modified) then go ahead and contact @kaltokri
For info and opinions on the kits please refer to

KThank you very much for the announcement and cooperation. In this way, the availability of do-it-yourself kits for the Rhino can be ensured again.
If someone has any questions or would like to place an order, please contact me.

PThanks for the advice
AHowdy, quick question.
I'd like to build a helicopter rig, so I want to have as long of an arm as possible. Mounting the base horizontally with a right angle adapter would give me significantly more room, any reason this wouldn't work?

JSeems like the roll axis would feel weird. The whole stick would be translating right and left instead of just pivoting. At least that's what I see in my head lol
AAhh yep, should've realised that
AMounting it upside down would resolve that but then it'd be a 180 adapter and the horizontal arm would need be quite long to not hinder the ROM and it would move vertically when pitching back and forth.
I see why nobody seems to have experimented with this

FAlso using a 200mm extension already give you great throw that you don't need it to be even longer
AIt has a lot better displays, so i would expect it would.
AQuest3 has better lenses, displays are worse, also it does always use compression, while G2 isn't. However due to lenses being pancake instead of fresnel (g2) Quest3 can have some edge over G2 - Q3 is not not losing sharpness outside center of view while not moving your head, but just eyes. Just for clarifying. Pimax looks better, but it does have QA/Support issues, so it ends up bit of lottery. However alternatives are much more expensive
[Indeed q/a at pimax is meh! It is veeeery slowly with support requests.
AAnd pimax requires more horsepower to operate
[If dynamic foveated rendering is availible, then is need less horsepower than Q3
J@SR-FWinger[73]_David @kaltokri I'm curious since I just don't see it in the images posted, what about the control board? Im assuming that is also in one of the kits? Unless im missing sometihng..
BI think the control boards are on the motors, with a logic board handling connections etc.
KControl board is part of the motor kit, which must be ordered at VPForce separately.
CAre the assembly instructions available to look at currently? I wanted to get a visual on what's involved? Thanks.
IDoes anyone know of a source for an Apache cyclic handle that will work with the vprhino?
BThe virpil one might be the only one, not entirely sure its fully supported though.
Might need a virpil gimbal tucked away as a box somewhere.

JOh ok ez enough, thx
IVirpil? They only make a collective which I ordered. I'm looking for the cyclic handle between your legs 
BRight, brainfart on my end
ILMAO; well damn; the video only made 889 likes
BI just use my cm2. Plenty buttons
IYeah. I got WW F18 stick right now which is OK. I was wanting to compliment the setup to match with collective.
BI got like four 5- way hats a 3- way on the side, four regular buttons, and two triggers, one with dual stage, the other with a flip up.
It's not 1:1 of anything, but it certainly gives options.
And runs natively on the rhino.

KSo the printed base comes in DIY parts, and I need to purchase VPFroce motor kit in advance, is that right? Also, could you shed some light on the differences between the motors sold by VPForce? Those are 57BLF03, 86BLF04 and 86BLF03. Which one should I go for?
KYes, the kit includes all parts except the motor kit (1. DIY FFB kit: 57BLF03 x2 + USB - 299 € (+ VAT)) and power supply unit.
Both needed to be purchased separately.

KCan I buy a power supply unit at VPForce website? I didn't see a PSU in the order request form. If they don't have it, what specifications should I look for? Thanks
