bets for how long it will take for someone on this discord to get one, tear it apart and see if they can adapt it for ffb lol
J1-2 months for fully functional working build if someone is determined
J(I'm not - I'll just wait for the official FFB version, even though it will likely be twice the price)
Yi was just about to say that will be probably just an angle connector to rhino definitely ill give a try
BIts not ffb already? kind og makes the bulk seem unnecessary 
BHonestly it looks then like a very hard sell as I could just go buy a honeycomb yoke right now.
They literally have to hit a €200 price point max to offset their shipping.

Ttrying to figure out how to engineer my current customized monstertech mount wor with my VP Rhino. I live close to the 80/20 LLC company so I can use them to cut and mill the extrusion for me. Is the Rhino base heavy enough if mounted to a square 80/20 base it will not move while being used?
TOr will I still need to utilize the desk clamp in order to keep the base from shifting?
Tmy Rhino just arrived!!!
J500 euros rrp
DHello 
, I don't know if I understood your question correctly, but here's my assembly on the MTS chassis. If it helps

DEverything is super stable and almost 0 movement. But then I have some vibration if the FFB is strong 
DNot disturbing though
BI may be the minority but i hated the Honeycomb Yoke. Pitch was too stiff with a bit of sticktion and slop. Also hate their mounting system. I do love the Bravo though.
BCan't say Iv'e tried it, but that's what will have to beat, and I can get it for the equivalent of €220 with all the benefits of buying locally, including five year mandated local warranty, 14 days mandated trial period etc.
Virpil also charge €90 in shipping, and I get 25% vat on top and gives me none of that.

AThat does sound like a relatively personal circumstance and calculation, though.
I.e.: Virpil would have to hit €200 for it to be worthwhile for you.
(Which is unlikely to happen, as they're aiming for ~€500)
By no means a bad consideration, but it doesn't apply globally.
(Esp. with the issues Honeycomb is going through.
Dunno if they resolved that yet.)

J100% agree with the pitch being too stiff on the alpha
WWe need something in between the Honeycomb and the more expensive yokes like Virtual Fly’s Yoko+ which I have currently, and Virpil have the chops to make something very nice in that bracket, and honestly they should have done and released this a couple of years back.
Not a hard sell at all, at least to those who know the quality of their stick bases. Honeycomb made a step up from the entry level but it’s still not great quality and I would have snapped this up in a heart beat back then, with the swappable yoke handles too, they would have had my money instead of Virtual Fly for sure.
But, I am in the position now where the next upgrade is only going to be FFB so I am also disappointed there was no FFB option, but that’s obviously going to be a jump in price over this.

BAgree 100%. My next yoke will be FFB as i already have an Alpha (hate it), the TM boeing yoke (my go to), and an old PFC Cirrus yoke (built like a tank but over 14 years old and too unwieldly). I have been contemplating converting the PFC yoke to FFB as its definitely large enough and sturdy enough to handle it.
一if virpil keeps using the miniDin connector for the yoke handle, it will benefit DIYers greatly..
一btw is their "FFB industry expert" Walmis
SI don’t have the ability to build a rig rn, I’ve had the VPForce mounted on cheap amazon desk mounts and its pretty flimsy, can anyone recomment good sturdy desk mounts for the Rhino?
KI have it mounted on my sim rig in a similar way that monster tech does it. But turns out it's a bit bendy. It will have to do until I can get a new chair
SHi - I have seen, that you own both: HF-8 and Rhino. Maybe you can help me. Since I installed and used the Rhino my HF-8 stopped working properly. I can test the motors in the Software and it says connected, but when I fly in DCS there are no mor vibrations. I guess it collides somehow with the VPForce telemetry app. Any ideas?
Ais there a conflict in the way they handle export.lua?
Show can I check this?
AYou can either go look at the entries made into the file and try to figure it out or wait for one of the local experts to pop up
SI have checked the files and did not found useful information, both apps use different ports so far... Now I try to change the order they are loaded...
SChanging the order indeed helped. Now both devices are working as expected - thanks for helping!
AI'm useful
DMonstertech is amazing (but not cheap, perhaps you'll find an alternative)
KNot sure where to put this. MY number has come up (yay) but I can't send the order form (boo). I can fill in all the fields but when I press submit nothing happens
KOut of desperation I sent walmis an email with all the details but if I could get this form to work I'd be much happier
HI assume @walmis will reach out to you shortly and help you, don’t worry. You could try a different browser in the meantime.
JYeah doing things like disabling any adblocker, using a different browser, or using a different device may help.
Last ditch effort would be using incognito/private mode (as an alternative to clearing cache/cookies)

NTelemFFB Update - v20240908
General
- Configurator gains learned at startup are no longer restored upon exit unless enabled in system settings
DCS
- CH47 - Enable door gunner to trigger weapons effect
- Add G-Force effect as optional for helicopters (was not previously available)
DCS/IL2/MSFS/XPLANE
- New G-Force effect for fixed wing aircraft
- See The Manual for a bit wordier description
- The original effect worked OK, but the "curvature" of the applied force would often lead to oscillations or a jerky feeling
- The new effect uses a linear calculation based on the min/max G settings to determine the primary force factor
- The physical stick deflection is then used as a factor to determine the final applied force. For any given g-loading, "the harder you are pulling, the more force you will feel"
- The range of stick deflection that results in %100 applied force is adjustable
- Allows for negative G effect also.
- For DCS/IL2, If both the new and old effects are enabled at the same time, the new effect takes precedence. The legacy effect was not previously available for MSFS/XPLANE.
一Is it possible to use this G-Force effect for simulating the bobweight (i.e. to give consistent stick force per g regardless of stick position, usually in addition to the consistent force per unit of displacement by the spring), or is this something completely different?
HThe F-4 has its own g-effects and don't need the TelemFFN effect.
In fact the new effect comes very close to how the F4 feels. (because essentially it mimics the effect the bobweights have)
So if you want to have that in any plane. Now you can have it.

HYou can test the old and new effect back to back with the old one.

HSomeone can tell me if we can use “Hardware Force Trim” feature in il2? It seems inactive once the game is launched. Thanks.
Nhardware trim is a function of the default spring effect which is created by configurator when no sim is running. That effect is overridden when a sim starts and creates its own spring effect.
You can use the "override trim" checkbox to force the hardware trim bindings on the spring effect owned by the sim (but this will override any in-game trim following that may be native to the sim).

HShould the big circle (trimmed “center”) be moving when the option “Override Trim” is activated?
