TGot it.
Here is a photo of the grip I use.
Virpil Mongoos T-50CM
This is the second release version called “Black Edition”
It’s the original controller as you can see we don’t have the Thumb Hat we have a Button and some of our 4 ways don’t have center press where the CM2 does and some of the 4 ways are 8 way now on the CM2.

TSee the photo on the left has no 4 way where the thumb is.
I assume yours is the same?
Or you have the OG version with silver buttons, brake, and palm rest.
Either way it’s the same we are NOT the CM2

TBelow I’ll post the settings I use but “Buyer beware” I haven’t plugged it in for a while so I might be using outdated software.
When I set it up to fly I’ll redo ALL my software so it’s up to date but yeah… this was how I used it and it works great.

THopefully that can help but if not I’ll try to dig around and see what I actually did…
I remember having the same issue you describe like it was acting like the brake lever was a bunch of buttons and some of them were intermittently firing at random times..
Setting it to an Axis and calibrating it fixed it

TSo yeah that’s how the Rhino sits for now..
I’ll get it all set up again soon once thing settle back down and I can Fly again.

HYou would get along well with my GF…..
FI'm also getting this Z axis behaviour on my Virpil Alpha grip. Will that also be fixed in a future firmware update please? Thanks.
AQuestion: preordered the VPC FLNKR grip. It’s got an analog thumb stick instead of a trim hat.
If I connect the grip to the VPC software and configure it to have virtual buttons on the thumb stick reaching full X and Y deflection (so i.e. giving it virtual Up/Down & Left/Right buttons), store that to the grip and then connect it to the Rhino…
The Rhino should then be detecting those virtual buttons, right?

ABit of a clumsy workaround but I don’t wanna go without a trim hat for Western planes, and there’s nothing in the Rhino software to create virtual buttons from an axis
N1.) Nothing is stored in the grip itself on VPC hardware... only the base.
2.) Walmis is going to have to create a profile in the firmware - whomever gets theirs first will need to send him all the mappings using the debug output
3.) The mini stick on the Alpha also has button presses (or POV events) with full excursion in each direction, depending on the "hats as buttons" setting in configurator

BSo, to get the [no longer produced] Virpil Delta supported in the configurator, do i just need to send the mappings in the debug output?
Beven though its no longer produced, its one of my goto grips due to being ambidexterous
MOur configurator versions are the same and our grip serial numbers are only ~150 apart, mine being in the 1300 range. Real strange that mine acts the way it does.
AOh, I kept reading the VPC instructions as the changes being stored and saved in the grip?
But it’s reasonable to assume it’ll be possible to get virtual/POV buttons from the mini stick by default anyway then? Those wouldn’t interfere with the axes of the mini stick btw?

DNormally it's saved in the base and not the grip (unless it's new??). If you plug in Rhino + Virpil grip, it doesn't appear in the VPC configurator.
I'm also waiting for their new grip and could test all that but I'm not worried about the configuration with the Rhino base.
I imagine that with the Rhino configurator you'll still be able to choose what to do with these hats.

AYeah I know, but I’ve got the collective so reckoned I could connect the grip to it to configure it
AObv a bit of a hassle, but sounds like it’s not necessary now anyway
DNot sure I understood your question or problem 
.
What I mean is that there's no point in plugging in your grip and configuring it via vpc config tool because nothing will be saved on it. Your Rhino base and your grip will be configured via the Rhino software.
Sorry if I'm missing the point, but I don't really see the problem at this stage (apart from the fact that Walmis may have to update its software to be compatible with the latest Virpil grips).

AThe reason you’re not seeing the problem is because it appears to not exist as I’d feared when first I asked 
AThe comment you replied to was just me explaining my original train of thought
DArf so sorry 
. I must have misinterpreted your post 
.
Well at least we seem to agree.

.TDid you try the settings from the pic after I plugged it in?
MYup, with the CM2 grip type the center 4way isn't recognized and the brake axis isn't recognized as an axis, so no way to calibrate it
TIs your configurator version the same as shown top left corner of the window? Wondering if a firmware update/tollback is required.
MNope, same version
P@walmis Hey m8, what will the price be for a new style cable to make my old S/N# Rhino work with the new CNC grip mount (I already have the cnc bit).
WHey, it's 8 eur + ~6 shipping
*Hey... this just happened in DCS Tomcat... stick just went full berserk forward and the weight of the Warthog stick on Virpil extension tore the thread in half... I am putting my log and config if someone can check if ther is anything wrong.... I did not really change anything to DCS profiles... maybe just created a couple MSFS profiles...
*aries_rhino.zip34.8KB
Aprobably good to get the aluminum attachment, especially since the warthog grip is so heavy + an extension, that's a lot of momentum to fight against
Jis there any documentation/guidance for how to optimize these settings? I understand the first two, the rest are a bit of a mystery.
*Where can I get one?
Awalmis has it on his order form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflUrHfM9AB0f-0WGyhOLxvXQNMr7E8TBDSYYJUBQ8kqaDC7g/viewform

*@walmis How do I order just the aluminium thread head? 200mm extension with metal Warthog stick was obviously too much for the plastic one...
WHey, it's via the order form one post above 
*Thx!
KHi @walmis just popped in an order form for the winwing adapter, the one I was using, the plastic screw on part that attaches to the base snapped in half and the joystick fell off. The adapter on the left is the one that broke, the one on the right was the original I ordered but it never worked. Just tried it again but it wouldn’t connect correctly in that the flight controls worked, but the functions on the joystick would not work such as the gun trigger or any other buttons. Might it have something to do with the metal surround under the arrow around the pins? The broken one doesn’t have one and all functions worked normally……just a thought. Cheers.
VHave you checked to make sure you have Winwing selected under the grip drop down in VP CONFIG?
VI had the same issue until I was told to do this. 
KI’ve been using this Winwing joystick for awhile now with my Rhino with no issues. Could changing out the adapter do that? I’ll give it a try
VOh well I’m not 100% sure, I just know that was my problem with mine not working. Now that I think about it though, you do have a point. Still worth it to check. Gets you back in the seat quicker.
KAbsolutely mate, thank you for your advice, cheers
WHey, I'll send you a replacement
KThanks, let me know how to pay you, my email is on the order form. Cheers
LI got a lib usb transfer error, I think from telemffb while trying to fly in msfs and now my stick won't turn on
and windows says device not recognized when I unplug/replug
