Same as you. But my Alpha profile is usable (except some buttons or combination of buttons). No issue with the axis

DracksOP•1/9/25, 3:42 PM

I try it in DCS and MSFS and all good (except the issues mentioned just above)

ReapDaddy•1/9/25, 3:52 PM

I 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.

I´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.

ReapDaddy•1/9/25, 6:56 PM

Yup. 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.

RobertB•1/9/25, 8:47 PM

That 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.

Hotdognz•1/10/25, 4:22 AM

Hey 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

Fr4Ged•1/10/25, 6:17 AM

You 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.

Fr4Ged•1/10/25, 6:18 AM

Oh, and use the instant trim (ffb friendly) in the special settings of the Apache

Hotdognz•1/10/25, 7:53 AM

@Fr4GedThanks its all working at it should now.

Can vpforce uses with mfs2024 or mfs2020?

Aerosmith•1/10/25, 4:00 PM

Hi, 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?

Kkantapon4965 Can vpforce uses with mfs2024 or mfs2020?

DracksOP•1/10/25, 5:27 PM

Yeah sure no issue

DracksOP•1/10/25, 5:28 PM

Look at the manual (msfs page)

DracksOP•1/10/25, 5:29 PM

You can use 2 apps: VP configurator (settings, calibration...) and TelemFFB (effects in the game)

VKNG•1/10/25, 5:50 PM

Heard 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?

: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 #

knowledge-base

Ssmitty :wave: the info on the motors can be found here https://discord.com/channels/96...

Boggy•1/10/25, 9:31 PM

Wait, all Rhinos built by Walmis have the 1.6 Nm motor / NEMA23 motor?

Boggy•1/10/25, 9:34 PM

Oh 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)

smitty•1/10/25, 9:35 PM

youd have to build it yourself

Ssmitty youd have to build it yourself

Boggy•1/10/25, 9:35 PM

There's no way to take out the current motors and put the stronger ones in?

smitty•1/10/25, 9:36 PM

wont fit at all

Boggy•1/10/25, 9:37 PM

Ah 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.

VKNG•1/10/25, 9:39 PM

Is this a thing or bad info?

smitty•1/10/25, 9:39 PM

my 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

VVKNG Is this a thing or bad info?

Fierce_Fire•1/10/25, 9:59 PM

25 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

Fierce_Fire•1/10/25, 9:59 PM

also, lbf depends on your extension, if you didnt know

VVKNG Is this a thing or bad info?

Number481•1/10/25, 10:18 PM

There's only one original "Rhino" (produced by walmis) which uses the 57blf03 motors. There are DIY designs that use the larger 86 series motors.

Fr4Ged•1/10/25, 10:27 PM

25 NM sounds like it would break the regular flight sim gear or at least the 3d printed stuff

Fierce_Fire•1/10/25, 10:39 PM

nah, its more than fine

Fierce_Fire•1/10/25, 10:40 PM

but 25NM isnt the same as 25lbf at the stick

Hotdognz•1/11/25, 12:45 AM

Stick 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

TheAmazinGreat•1/11/25, 1:17 AM

Pretty 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.

TrigaNZ•1/11/25, 5:23 AM

I have it, it's excellent. The little shaker bit does not work, but you don't need it obviously.

Just kidding.

GettinBetter•1/11/25, 9:12 AM

I'm a bit confused, the 86BLF series https://www.promoco-motors.com/products/BLDC/86BLF%20Series.pdf seems to show different specs to that listed in the faqs pages for the DIY motors. The body length is shown in the faqs page for the 86BLF04 as 94mm, but the specs in the promoco data sheet shows the motor body length as 57mm. Is this the wrong data sheet? is there a typo somewhere? Can somebody advise, as I'm trying to model these parts up.

GGettinBetter I'm a bit confused, the 86BLF series https://www.promoco-motors.com/products/BLD...

walmis•1/11/25, 10:30 AM

Yeah some manufacturers have different naming for these models for some reason, try looking up ACT motor datasheets

GettinBetter•1/11/25, 10:45 AM

Ok, thank you. I've ordered these, so the ACT datasheet is what I'm going to get ?

Physical dimensions - yes

Fr4Ged•1/11/25, 11:05 AM

You're welcome! It's really a great grip. Only 1 thing I must do is contacting Virpil for the right Hat. It's moving a little despite the fact that I pushed it all the way in
