@f14billy ahh, got it! I would need all of the other parts too as I don't have a decent 3D printer.

FI sent you a PM to see what your requirements are for the base and go from there.
SHow does the trigger work? I’m confused by the lack of two stage trigger. Would it work for example in the A-10?
DI haven't tried it in game yet, but you've got the usual trigger (1 click at first glance) and a 2nd trigger right next to it (2 clicks). You've also got the parking brake trigger, which activates a button on maximum pressure. And the other usual buttons. I'll do a test and tell you again

Dhere's the buttons mappings. It's give you an idea
Ddotted lines are the inclued optional hats
FA two stage main trigger would have made it perfect but apparently it is just a autopilot trigger in the Flanker for some reason. Lol
BThe dual stage on the cm2 is kind of dumb.
Its button 1, then button 2 and as you progress to button 2 it stops sending button 1

Dyes, you're both quite right. But I think it makes more sense for fighter jets than my Alpha. After that, it's more of the same, with a few minor variations. On the other hand, it looks much more real (imposing) than the Alpha! The options are useful and allow a variety of settings 
In short, very, very good (I'd say a good 95% of my needs).

Mare the gifts for the delays? or just a new years/christmas?
Mthats a very sweet cup
DYeah for the delay! But the cover and the stand are included with the grip (I don't know if it was already known in September but I don't remember)
RLove to have a left hand version even tho it’s not historically accurate
BHas anybody here used a real fighter jet stick grip with the Rhino?
Hnot clear if the thumb button (14) is a 4 way hat or it is just a button..
FYou can change some of the buttons/hats. Comes with button out of the box iirc
DYou can swap this button (14) with a 3 way hat
DIncluded
V:package: 
RHINO #0854 Has Shipped!
RHINO #0854 Has Shipped!Hwhat is the weight? on the Virpil website is not reported...
SSo true still searching for a 2. Grip so i can use my winwing base and f-16ex grip as a sidestick and the rhino with a 2. Grip as centermounted
F571g
FThank God it isn't a brick like the TMWH grip
DYeah it's really similar like the other Virpil grips. Good weight !
DIt's a great product (after 2-3 DCS flights)

SI would love to see a comparison to the VKB MCG Ultimate.
I had the Flankr on order but cancelled since i already own the Ultimate.
Now that the 5090 needs budget i considered no need to upgrade something thats already very awesome

Rdid everything recognize well in the VP Configurator? I guess Walmis will be receiving his soon and hopefully mine will show up this month.
LFor a diy grip, is it as simple as grip buttons > 5 pin shift register > 5 pins din on the mainboard?
TShift registers need to be CD4021 type or SN74HC165 type with an inverter on the CS signal. But yes you’ve got the gist of it. Only HC165 needs the inverter. CD4021 works as is. Pull up resistors on inputs for both types, buttons to GND.
LThanks ok i actually have a couple of the 74hc165x3 pcbs.. do you have model number or name for the inverter needed?
TSomething like PN2222 or BC547 would work.
TDepending on how many buttons you need you could also do it with 1-2 arduino nanos, no shift registers.
THey I know this guy 
Welcome brother
Welcome brother
DYes, everything's fine with my “Alpha profile”. BUT @walmis needs to create a “FLNKR” profile for the correct placement of buttons/switches/hats/brake lever. I haven't tried another type of grip yet (not enough time and too much work), but I imagine the generic profile will be more suitable (?).
In any case, it's easy to use as it is, but Walmis needs to update it. I'm not a dev, but I'd say it should be doable in no time!
I'm trying to post a video showing the button presses (sorry but no sound^^)

TI’m pretty sure he needs to get the stick in house to implement those changes into the software.
I could be wrong but I think that’s what they had to do with one of the previous sticks.
So yeah… You may need to wait for Walmis to actually get a Flanker grip in house

THe will comment below and say yes/no
DYeah sure, I post a little vid which explain the "bugs" found
DBut for a first try, it's rather good
DHere's some video (sorry I had to cut it down) AND Sorry for my bad english 
DRI thought that would be the case needing a new grip profile for the FLNKR grip with the different possible combinations with the extra hat switches. I’m sure his will arrive soon. Hopefully mine will also arrive this month.
OWaiting patiently across the Atlantic. My order is still processing.
LHa thanks Bro! 
LAh ok, just have a separate wiring for the grip only (like vkb kind of)
TNot necessarily, you use the arduino to spoof a shift register output. You can also use it to spoof the Winwing adapter profile if you want to have axis inputs on your DIY grip. 5 wires to the VPF main board, same as with a shift register.
LAh, i see , well was thinking of like a F4 type of grip with maybe 20 buttons total no axis
TYou can get up to 19 buttons out of one nano with no axes using all the available inputs. For 20+ it would probably be easier to go the shift register route. Can’t go wrong either way and the shift register is a great option too. I recommend going with whichever you feel more confident with.
LCool, i have a stm32 blue pill, and some of the pcb hc175, i think i have a box with 55 buttons. But ya for a stick would not need that much, my main thing is how it connects to the vp force mainboard
