Still having some VKB F-14 issues. It's mostly working. The weapons selector switch, however isn't. The toggle between Phoenix/Sparrow works, but none of the movement of the switch (up or down) registers.

Also, very weirdly, the trim hat works fine in the DCS controls setup, but doesn't operate the trim when I'm flying.

I've checked through my setup and I did order the correct Rhino VKB adapter (for MK IV grip), so I don't think that's it. I'm confused

All of the other buttons (and the DLC axis) are working fine - just the weapons selector and the trim hat.

Any pc builders have advice WRT USB on motherboards? Building a new one for 5090 and considering how to support my sim rig better.

Sundowner•1/6/25, 12:47 AM

If you're using it for the DCS, do you need the loopback functionality ? I don't use it, so can't really help you there, but the weapons selector on the VKB grip is mechanically not a switch, but a magnetic encoder, if the loopback software gets raw data from the grip, then it won't work, as it needs to be reconverted by the VKB BlackBox.

Col. Sanders•1/6/25, 2:20 AM

Don't bother using the loop back for DCS.

Xaero Zero•1/6/25, 6:49 AM

Hey, maybe stoopid question, but can you assign force trim push/release on different joystick?
for example f-trim for rudders on collective button

I would call that FFB

Jon (Bounty_V)•1/6/25, 11:22 AM

genuine question - why are you replying to comments made a long time ago?

Jon (Bounty_V)•1/6/25, 11:23 AM

That was from back in August

m2times_•1/6/25, 1:41 PM

guys, what are your solutions for powering the rhino? I understand that the power adapter is not included?

TheZoq2•1/6/25, 1:42 PM

It is included

TheZoq2•1/6/25, 1:42 PM

Unless that has changed since I got mine

G. R. CooperOP•1/6/25, 2:57 PM

got mine a few weeks ago - the power supply is included!

Dracks•1/6/25, 3:16 PM

Hi Guys !! I'm going to receive my Virpil FLNKR Grip tomorrow! I'm ready to test it with our VPFORCE apps !

Fr4Ged•1/6/25, 3:30 PM

Still haven't received any status update for my FLNKR order.

FFr4Ged Still haven't received any status update for my FLNKR order. 😭

Dracks•1/6/25, 3:34 PM

Me too but I had the surprise of getting DHL mail this afternoon

Dracks•1/6/25, 3:34 PM

Expect tomorrow delivery

walmis•1/6/25, 3:42 PM

ooh, hopefully my FLNKR will soon follow

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 3:55 PM

FLNKRs are shipping??

Alighierian•1/6/25, 3:55 PM

looks like it, anyway

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 3:55 PM

I ordered mine in the first five minutes of availability

Alighierian•1/6/25, 3:57 PM

Also got a Virpil TN this morning, but the order is technically still listed as Processing.
(ordered 17 July, 11am CEST, though I did have a pair of Apache collective hats added)

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 3:57 PM

You guys all EU?

Alighierian•1/6/25, 3:57 PM

yup

OOld Prospector You guys all EU?

Dracks•1/6/25, 3:57 PM

Yep

Dracks•1/6/25, 3:59 PM

From Virpil team (novembre)

Dracks•1/6/25, 3:59 PM

The first pre-order batches are now set to ship out at the end of December to mid January.

Dracks•1/6/25, 3:59 PM

And my DHL team confirmed the Virpil parcel

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:00 PM

Well December is out

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:00 PM

Maybe we can simply say it is Nivôse

Dracks•1/6/25, 4:01 PM

Don't forget the little thing between 24.12 and 03.01...

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:01 PM

Fortunately, I am in no rush

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:01 PM

Making a new pc with 5090

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:02 PM

Will probably take me a month to set up DCS again.

Dracks•1/6/25, 4:02 PM

Ah ah ah !

Dracks•1/6/25, 4:02 PM

So true (unfortunately)

Alighierian•1/6/25, 4:03 PM

(And all the other random stuff for the PC in general. Great fun yes yes.)

AndyHill•1/6/25, 4:03 PM

what's the latest on 5090 availability?

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:03 PM

5090 reveal is tonight

Dracks•1/6/25, 4:03 PM

At a very little price

Bob Bushman•1/6/25, 4:04 PM

Some runors suggest only the 5080 and pro/AI cards to be announced.

90 maybe in a few months.

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:04 PM

Fortunately my NVDA stock has gone up

Dracks•1/6/25, 4:04 PM

(But I'm too old to wait then I must "add 5090 to cart"

)

Bob Bushman•1/6/25, 4:05 PM

It also tracks as we are seeing 5080 box, and cooler pictures leak but nada for the 90.

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 4:06 PM

A few 5090 pics are out, but yes, 5080 earlier

G. R. CooperOP•1/6/25, 4:15 PM

turned off loopback. No buttons work now. Reset the Rhino to Factory reset. Started from scratch. No loopback. Reflashed the grip. All of the buttons show as working in Configurator and the VKB software. Nothing in DCS.

Is there a way to check the VKB Adaptor version @walmis - my order shows the MK IV/Rev C. If I got the MK III/Rev B sent by mistake could that be why my Gunfighter IV isn't working? Do I plug the adaptor directly into my USB hub (powered)? Does it matter which connector the grip uses into the Blackbox? (I've tried both - it doesn't seem to matter).

Sundowner•1/6/25, 4:19 PM

I don't think you would be able to plug the Rev.C into Rev.B, though you need to connect the adapter into the "stick" socket, not the "bus" one.

In DCS you should have the grip as separate controller

walmis•1/6/25, 4:19 PM

Rev B and Rev C are very distinct, rev C is like a headphone connector - you wouldn't be able to plug a revC grip to a revB adapter.
If VKB software shows as working then the adapter is fine. Are you running the Loopback application if you wish to pass the button presses to the Rhino firmware.

SSundowner I don't think you would be able to plug the Rev.C into Rev.B, though you need to...

G. R. CooperOP•1/6/25, 4:20 PM

that could be it - I didn't check to see if the grip was a second controller in DCS, and would explain why it was kinda working with Loopback.
