Check the the DCS input configuration files, maybe different Rhino profiles change the device ident and the game recognizes as a different joystick?

this is likely the case. you can also just select load and then select your saved .diff.lua file

dcs will also assign [very poorly] defaults when it finds what it thinks is a new device

why not proper MTM Rig? NLR is scam

Yea i have a few buddies that have the NLR rig and they all have AT LEAST 2-3 decent complaints about it. That being said i’ve never sat in one so can’t say from experience.

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:00 PM

I had it for 4 months, luckily sold it, worst piece of *** i ever had

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:02 PM

on the other hand, MTM Chair costs 1 grand, while "Boeing" !LOL! branded NLR is like 300-400.
Even tho MTM prices are biting, there is quality and expandability there, with NLR you locked into some bodge and figuring out how to overcome issues, it's not worth your time

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:02 PM

Hmmm... guys I have talked to have had good experience with it, but I will look at others. It is as a secondary flight rig.

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:02 PM

I've bought 1k+ chairs, never regret, get MTM seat and (cordura) and proper 4080 rig, can be simracing

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:03 PM

problem with NLR is that they use square tube pipe, don't ask me how bad that design is compared to profile

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:03 PM

Chair and RIg = not same thing, not same company at least

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:03 PM

I have a sim racing rig, just need one to mount the rhino on to use in VR for helos, A-10 and generic flight.

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:03 PM

you can get good TrakRacer rig for same money

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:04 PM

it's the chair that makes a difference... you as virtual pilot/racer have only 3 contact points on rig:
- the butt aka the chair
- hands aka the Rhino
- foot aka the pedals

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:05 PM

those 3 components have to be top noch, rest is subjective

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:05 PM

I have the chair, just need a frame to mount Rhino, throttle, pedals and UFC/keyboard.

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:06 PM

then get some TR160 baseline, it's a rig for life, for any upgrades

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:07 PM

TR120 is weavy, might cause issues, but 120mm profiles are more then enough, unfortunately TR switched to this wide body design that is kinda meh

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:07 PM

and never get simlab angular standoffs also )

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:08 PM

any 120/160 profile straight rig with proper 90 uprights will work

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:09 PM

Taking a look now.

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:10 PM

MTM has better features built in, if you can afford MTM, get atleast their baseline

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:11 PM

they have special cutoff and mount system for center joystick, worth extra. Simracing rig will require some mods to get work, mainly due to seating position, the angle between pedals and seat is much lower on simracing compared to MTM

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:12 PM

on MTM you sit more upright, much more suitable for Flight, and also have some extra space under the seat. With simracing rig you need to order extra profiles to make it same height. In the end it will end up same cost as MTM

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:13 PM

just don't get extras, barebone works, you can add later whatever you need

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:16 PM

Damn! Yeah, MTM is quite a bit more than I wanted to spend since this is a generic setup.

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:16 PM

any way for local custom ?

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:16 PM

i know companies offer rigs locally for 50% price of branded ones

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:16 PM

Probably... being in Dallas can probably find anything.

Xaero Zero•10/1/24, 9:17 PM

they can just copy MTM and it will be way much cheaper than original one, and also compatible with their accessories

TonyM•10/1/24, 9:37 PM

Why don’t you use your sim racing rig also for flight sim?
That way you can use your tactile setup and motion for flight sim.

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:40 PM

I thought about that, and I possibly would, but getting this big direct drive wheel off and replacing our pedals every time is a constant pain in the ass. I did that for a bit, but it turned out to be discouraging after awhile....

TonyM•10/1/24, 9:47 PM

ah ok.
I have my MFG Crosswinds permanently mounted on the bottom of my 4080 rig and I just have to mount the throttle/ collective and remove the wheel (Simucube QR). It is tight however.
A second rig for flight sim would be great but quite a lot of cost considering the quite expensive tactile setup and motion system. And a second PC. Too much for me.

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 9:56 PM

I have an extra tactile setup and this one will not be motion. I have the extra HOTAS as well and will use the VR for both my flight rigs (I have a primary motion rig that is setup for F-16 use). I have an extra powered USB hub as well. Only thing I need is actual rig and pedals, a second set of Winwing pedals would work great.

smitty•10/1/24, 10:11 PM

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 10:12 PM

Nice!

smitty•10/1/24, 10:13 PM

the changeover is quick but i still leave it in flight mode most of the time

Duchess ✈•10/1/24, 10:20 PM

I found I did the same when I had just one rig. My main fault is being inherently lazy... I want convenience more than anything.

TonyM•10/1/24, 11:52 PM

Which motion system/ tactile setup do you use?

I have a DOFReality P6 with a buttkicker mounted on the bottom of the rig using SimHaptic.

buzzbomb•10/2/24, 1:05 AM

I used to have two pits, two computers, etc. It never failed that i wanted to use X on pit 1 but i preferred accessory Y on pit 2. So i ended up still swapping stuff half the time. Now i have solution similar to what Smitty has.

buzzbomb•10/2/24, 1:07 AM

Now im working on a stable quick change solution for my Rhino so i can easilly swap it from center to side mount for when i have the urge to fly the 'bus or star citizen
