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

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 3:58 PM

:grim:

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...

Dracks•1/6/25, 4:01 PM

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

SSundowner If you're using it for the DCS, do you need the loopback functionality ? I don't...

G. R. Cooper•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. Cooper•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.

G. R. Cooper•1/6/25, 4:26 PM

it is showing as its own controller, but buttons/axis for the grip still don't work. I'll try it with Loopback again after I dig out of an inch of ice that fell overnight. Thanks for the help guys

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:22 PM

i ordered the vpc vmax throttle, it got delayed from november to january, still hasnt shipped

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:22 PM

ohh they moved it to february now, wauv

Old Prospector•1/6/25, 7:29 PM

US?

Bob Bushman•1/6/25, 7:32 PM

Why you don't pre-order.
And always wait for at least the second if not third production run.

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:36 PM

there was a substantial discount but i guess we know why

OOld Prospector US?

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:38 PM

no, europe. says february on product page now

Bob Bushman•1/6/25, 7:38 PM

Aah well I'm sure they will deliver, might be later than one would want

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:38 PM

yeah no rush, still got a month of wait for my rhino. And the pimax VR too

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:38 PM

still got to design my own mounting brackets/plates for all that

Bob Bushman•1/6/25, 7:39 PM

I got my old t50 throttle after three months wait, and that was second or third production run..

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:41 PM

i wonder how problematic will it be to fit a throttle next to a stick with a z-extension

m2times_•1/6/25, 7:42 PM

anyone running such a setup?

Bob Bushman•1/6/25, 7:43 PM

Why should that be a problem?

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