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

Xany way for local custom ?
Xi know companies offer rigs locally for 50% price of branded ones
DProbably... being in Dallas can probably find anything.
Xthey can just copy MTM and it will be way much cheaper than original one, and also compatible with their accessories
TWhy 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.

DI 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....

Tah 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.

DI 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.
SDNice!
Sthe changeover is quick but i still leave it in flight mode most of the time 
DI found I did the same when I had just one rig. My main fault is being inherently lazy... I want convenience more than anything.
TWhich motion system/ tactile setup do you use?
DI have a DOFReality P6 with a buttkicker mounted on the bottom of the rig using SimHaptic.
BI 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.
BNow 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
TThis is what I use on my 4080 rig for the Rhino, the collective etc…
TThe bottom permanently mounted on the rig. And the top part attached to the mount plate of the Rhino for example.
TAFAIK this also a company which sells such QR for sim/flight rigs. Maybe someone can chime in….
BThanks for the idea, but ill likely be fabricating my own solution.
Bbut the QR sim guys stuff is intreaging

TI might end up getting a mount from these guys but which one did you get and how did you mount it?
Seems a bit pricey for the full kit.. like $150?
So I’m not really sure I need a $150 mount but hey… those are the brakes sometimes.
Thanks

II have a lot of their stuff for my rig. My Rhino, side sticks, and throttles are on his release plates.
PGot any photos handy?

RHINO #0716 Has Shipped!TNo I went for the QRs from amazon that I posted above (red color). Attached to my 4080 rig from the bottom and the top detachable part attached to the Rhino mount plate or the collective.
TAmazon? Got a link or what should I search? Thanks!
DSame here, I have a lot of the QR stuff on my current rig.
DMy main rig has become solely F-16, so I will need one for everything else.

THere on my rig for the Rhino and for the Virpil collective.
DInteresting.
Tand here the upper part of the QR on the Rhino for example
TIt works best when you 3D print some adapter to fix the bolts.
CHas anyone tried the new force feedback for DCS Chinook yet. Just wondering if it’s working ok now.
Currently have it setup as force feedback via the software.

Nseems like it works at a basic level.. but as far as I can tell, no sort of AFCS is implemented yet
CThanks, hopefully the AFCS will be implemented soon
HRegarding fastening screws on the gooseneck from virpil. Is it the external two screw on the gooseneck, or the two screws on top “inside” near the connector. I need to fasten “something”.
edit they were all loose - tightened all of them.
And context - my virpil grip is loose even when screwed on tight to the gooseneck.

Bneed more context
Bthe two screws at the top and bottom secure the respective aluminum threaded inserts to the extension. the two screws inside the top threaded connector secure electrical connector to the threaded insert. IF you are running a TM stick grip its reccomended to remove the two screws on the electrical connector so you can put an offset (twist) in the grip
Bit also reduces the chances of bending the pins on a TM grip as there is no centering/alignment feature on the extension
HRunning a CM2 grip from virpil. I should perhaps losen the electrical connection screws if I want to run it offset? Or is that a feature in the grip perhaps - that the connector is already able to twist.
MHey guys, is there a list of which grips are working in which way (eg. all buttons or just a few) with the rhino? Im thinking about switching out my vkb Gunfighter and looking for a replacement, including an extension. I‘m especially interested if the new virpil flnkr would work with it.
HPretty sure the flnkr grip will be supported. Asked the same question at some point and learned that walmis is getting one himself. Fingers crossed 
AI build a Flight/Drive Rig like this. Everything stays in place when flying or driving except the Rhino. It is mounted with a Quick release system.
