I got a email from them. There’s a white box with an RJ45 cable (why I have no idea) and then that box has a USB C to USB on it. It’s just like VKB so we have a control box we got to setup. Ugh. Wish Virpil had released their cyclic. I’m using F18 handle right now but I really would love to complete my collection….

it’s like $580 and you can get either gooseneck extension or a short stick.

In other news, I have had my Rhino for 6 days. I haven't had a chance to use it as much as i like but my initial impressions are unequivocally positive. I am blown away by its functionality, easy of use and quality. Well Done @walmis

buzzbomb•9/24/24, 3:49 PM

also whoever has created the documentation is a godsend. I know its not perfect but it makes coming up to speed on all the features really easy.

Lol just saw a „review“ of the Moza (with the guy actually opening it)…. My second hand judgement….. meh. Nothing to worry about for the Rhino. Looks dirt cheap on the inside and the gimbal is a joke. (It actually has one motor throwing around).
Maybe in practice that doesn’t matter all that much, but the absence of active cooling will become a problem. (Search for "Jabbers Moza")

Jon (Bounty_V)•9/26/24, 11:21 PM

I don't think Rhino will have anything to worry about for a long time. The main appeal of the Rhino, especially once more places have FFB, is the absurdly high quality open source software support to provide functionality and features and effects that will always be generations ahead of anything else

Jon (Bounty_V)•9/26/24, 11:23 PM

I hope to one day see a VPforce yoke, or perhaps even other things like throttle, belt system, and of course the upcoming pedal kit for Crosswinds. With the software available, anything that can natively access said software will be superior to everything else.

AndyHill•9/26/24, 11:36 PM

maybe it has superconducting motors or something and generates no heat

AndyHill•9/26/24, 11:36 PM

would be interesting to see someone actually put the moza through some real stress

Hiob•9/27/24, 2:10 PM

There is really only two options that are relevant. The "standard" option for the regular (DIY)-Rhino are the 57BLF03. If you want a significant upgrade in max. force over them, you want the 86BLF04. However they don't fit the regular Rhino or DIY-Kits. There are DIY plans that will fit the bigger motors (they are physically much bigger). Makes it all more expensice though.

eilerj2•9/27/24, 2:32 PM

Awesome, thank you. Do you know if it is possible to use Simhub or SimTools instead of the VPForce Configurator?

DARRYL•9/27/24, 7:50 PM

Jabbers definitely makes quality content, well worth a sub. He had a hell of a time getting the MOZA AB9 base to function early on, and gave them lots of valuable feedback over several iterations. Yet no punches were pulled in his public reporting of many uncomfortable realities either. OTOH, MOZA themselves are terrible at community management / communications. That's why I ended up building a Rhino instead of buying a MOZA, actually. The owner and the community here are so much better, far more helpful and trustworthy.

Col. Sanders•9/27/24, 10:14 PM

Seems like if you really want that kind of control, you could speak to the dev team here for Telemffb And see if you can help or get access. Otherwise just build your own system from scratch.

The "Machined Aluminum Grip Mount Upgrade for Rhino" is really worth the price in my opinion. I use the PA12 printed version at the moment. It is ok as long as you are carefully and don't change the grip/extension often. But I've one aluminum here and will change it next time I change something at my rhino or simpit.

Dracks•9/28/24, 9:48 AM

Yeah you're right. Unfortunately I didn't know this when I placed the initial order. So I took the plans supplied by Walmis and printed them out more solidly.
Anyway, if you don't change your grips every day, he won't have any problems

I got a email from them. There’s a white box with an RJ45 cable (why I have no idea) and then that b
