Thanks for the link, I didn't see that last year.
My message wasn't meant to criticize or rant! I'd be the first happy to see Walmis rewarded or "sponsored" by manufacturers but I think that's up to him

. In any case, we're all looking forward to seeing him get his grip!!! Have a nice day

@kiplet Thanks

I've just checked. VKB NA serves only US and Canada. Aliexpress is ok for France. I'll order there.

That's the European store for vkb, aliexpress would only get you a knockoff.

Hi all.

PapaMeesh•1/15/25, 11:28 PM

Is there such a thing as a document that lists all the compatible joysticks for the base? I hoped that would be easy to find.

Hey @Padinn,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0862 on 2025-01-16
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 208 days, median is 208 days, max is 437 days
825 Rhinos are shipped in total

virpil statement

Old Prospector•1/16/25, 2:38 PM

Everything delayed

Old Prospector•1/16/25, 2:39 PM

Due to, among other thing, a plane crash

Alighierian•1/16/25, 2:45 PM

oof

ReapDaddy•1/16/25, 3:23 PM

Just received that email. Was hoping it was a shipping notice.

HrEple•1/16/25, 3:24 PM

Same. Flanker grip delay for ever then. Cool, cool. I'll live, fortunately.

Xaero Zero•1/16/25, 3:40 PM

Flanker grip delayed to March now on website

ReapDaddy•1/16/25, 3:41 PM

Yeah they changed that a while back. Supposedly if you ordered one now, you could get by then.

Fr4Ged•1/16/25, 3:58 PM

You can't use it anyway. Well at least not on the Rhino really.

i ordered on 2024-10-18 and today my status was updated to 21 days until shipping

m2times_•1/16/25, 4:20 PM

so i think these estimates are very pessimistic

Blackrat•1/16/25, 5:08 PM

I ordered mine 27th July and got it on Tuesday, so times are coming down

I was trying to get a sense of shipping time after payment, got thay notice this week, I'm assigned 875 but I think it may end up a lower #

On vacation next week, maybe I'll get lucky

amadeus•1/16/25, 6:35 PM

wow, talk about bad luck on their part, having your stuff on a plane that crashed

Stains•1/16/25, 6:53 PM

I'm the dumbest Rhino owner: I use the Virpil 20 cm extension and I have been feeling a lot of slop in my stick. I just assumed it was part of the Rhino's mechanism. I finally woke up and tightened all the random screws on the extension and now my stick feels rock solid! I am having to adjust all my TelemFFB effects because they're too powerful now.

Sharkku•1/16/25, 8:07 PM

Hi! I wanted that TelemFFB should launch automatically when I launch MSFS2024, but when I add it to the exe.xml it just won't start. FSUIPC launches just fine from the same file. Any ideas?
MSFS2024 Steam version
Win11

My exe.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">

Sharkku•1/16/25, 8:12 PM

Yeah, that looks about the same as mine. By all accounts, it should work, yet it doesn't! It's a mystery!

smitty•1/16/25, 8:13 PM

my msfs launcher does have a .bat file that kills any vpforce still running first though, so it doesnt try to run it twice and error

taskkill /IM vpforce-telemffb*
taskkill /IM vpforce-telemffb*
taskkill /IM vpforce-telemffb*

Sharkku•1/16/25, 8:13 PM

ah, that might be an idea

Sharkku•1/16/25, 8:19 PM

Ha, that was it, another instance was running, killed it, now it works! Thanks a bunch!!!

AnthonyOP•1/16/25, 9:56 PM

@walmis what info do you need to implement the Flnkr grip? Is it something one of us who's got one can help out with?

Fr4Ged•1/16/25, 10:01 PM

Yeah, I'd send it to you if needed. I am in Germany though

Lassekongo•1/16/25, 10:16 PM

there is no v2 or anything improved planned afaik, this is best FFB base money can buy right now

Xaero Zero•1/16/25, 10:21 PM

(and for a looooooong future)

Fr4Ged•1/16/25, 10:50 PM

Software is constantly being updated and the only thing you really could upgrade is the motors which they are plenty powerful enough for me.
