Ah 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
RMine is on it´s way as well. Looking forward to a profile as well so that II can use all button and axis.
Will it be possible at all to set up the analogue stick on the grip as a 4-way switch like you can do with the "axis to button" option in the Virpil software?

AWhoop, just got my flnkr.
For those wondering (I was):
The hat swapping is indeed just that.
The 4+1 modules are installed by default, with the button/3-way hats simply limiting movement.

RMine arrived as well. I tried out the Alpha Prime profile but it doesn´t work. Some Buttons are not recognized and the Axis are swapped so they are not recognized properly. I´m gonna wait for a profile until I use it. I got a mousepad and a cup as a gift for the delay.
EHello how long is the wait for a Rhino at this point ?
DI don't know but we must see this after Walmis update (and create) the FLANKR profile
DSame as you. But my Alpha profile is usable (except some buttons or combination of buttons). No issue with the axis
DI try it in DCS and MSFS and all good (except the issues mentioned just above)
RI am positive that once Walmis gets his grip he will crank out the FLNKR profile ASAP. He is probably as excited as we are to use it.
RI´m not in a hurry, my warthog tick is just fine right now. I rather wait ab bit. I have to figure out my new button layout anyway.
RYup. Was using my old TM Cougar grip until the weapon release button stopped working. Luckily I could switched to my Warthog grip until FLNKR time.

Mmaaaaaan they moved it to march
RThat yoke they did a kickstarter for was going to ship in June. I bet that gets moved back to the end of the year at this rate.
Mdamn it was for october 2024 originally
Mnovember when i ordered (october)
FProbably didn't help introducing so many products at once
HHey guys im new to the Rhino and im having trouble with the DCS Apache and trimming, can some ne explain the setting's to use in DCS and any other settings I need to enable in either the FFB configurator of the TelemFFB, im very new to this sorry
FYou need to turn on force feedback in the settings in DCS and use the trimming of DCS. Not the hardware trim of the Rhino software.
FOh, and use the instant trim (ffb friendly) in the special settings of the Apache
H@Fr4GedThanks its all working at it should now.
KCan vpforce uses with mfs2024 or mfs2020?
AHi, I'm new, here. I'm building a heli simulator and already own cyclic and collective from 737diysim.com and VKBsim pedals. The diysim controls have force trim with stepper motors but they suck (not enough force, get hot) and the pedals have no FB at all. I plan to upgrade them with the DIY kits. I've already found the software manual (https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/VPforce_Rhino_Manual.pdf). Is there any info avaliable for the hardware of the DIY kits?
DYeah sure no issue
DLook at the manual (msfs page)
DYou can use 2 apps: VP configurator (settings, calibration...) and TelemFFB (effects in the game)
VHeard today about a version of the rhino with 25lbs of force. How do I know if my rhino is one of these or an older one?
S:wave: the info on the motors can be found here https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/986474224241741884/986485131906809866
pretty much nothing from the bases of the 737diysim cyclic or collective would be reused, but you can adapt the stick & grip parts to whatever the new base design is. There might be vkb pedal info in #

BWait, all Rhinos built by Walmis have the 1.6 Nm motor / NEMA23 motor?
BOh damn, I thought that was the strongest motor possible (maybe it was at the time I bought mine). What does one have to do to upgrade to the strongest motor? The NEMA34 (4.2 Nm)
Syoud have to build it yourself
BThere's no way to take out the current motors and put the stronger ones in?
Swont fit at all
BAh shame. I'm super happy with mine but more power seems better. Especially because I want to fit a real stick grip on mine which probably weighs a ton.
VIs this a thing or bad info?
Smy diy setup uses the 57blf03.. and its pretty uncomfortable at 100% spring to hold at the extremes, even with 250mm between gimbal center and grip
F25 seems quite high. Im running 10lb on a 500mm extension, so 15 or 20 is certainly possible, but 25 is along the limit i guess
Falso, lbf depends on your extension, if you didnt know
NThere's only one original "Rhino" (produced by walmis) which uses the 57blf03 motors. There are DIY designs that use the larger 86 series motors.
F25 NM sounds like it would break the regular flight sim gear or at least the 3d printed stuff 
Fnah, its more than fine
Fbut 25NM isnt the same as 25lbf at the stick
HStick choice - hi all now I have my Rhino mounted I need to make a stick choice, currently I have borrowed a TM F18 and wont be keeping it as I dont like the limited hat options.
I have a Wingwing ViperAce (EX) with the shaker kit and really like it and have it mapped really well in DCS, anyone using this stick on a Rhino ??, does the base support all the hats, buttons and sliders it has available ??
Thanks

TPretty sure it supports everything but the shaker functionality. In order for it to work with the Rhino you will need the Winwing adapter that Walmis sells.
TI have it, it's excellent. The little shaker bit does not work, but you don't need it obviously.
HThanks
BSounds like you need to work out more. 
Just kidding.
