Hi, I have a question, will the rhino be able to work with brunner ffb pedals? Specifically will you be able to trim the rudder pedals?
VWow! It is great to know I don't need to spend any penny. Great!
WRhino and Brunner Pedals would work as standalone devices, DCS doesn't support trimming pedals yet natively, so you'd have to rely on brunner software for pedal trimming.
WMail postage is usually about 10EUR/USD
WHey, did you receive your FLNKR ? 
I'd be happy to implement it if you'd be willing to lend it for a week or so.

AThought struck me, have you asked virpil if they can put you forward in the cue?
AThe FFBeast guy had a prototype almost half a year ago, and he’s hardly got the same market presence as you’ve achieved
WDunno.. as I don't have any relationship with Virpil that would be a cold request
ANot at all, you’re too modest
AYou’ve got almost a thousand bases out in the world, several hundreds of those customers combine them with Virpil grips
AThat matters to them, there’s loads of their customers who do business with them because their grips are compatible with the Rhino
WJust sent a support ticket with a request for expedited shipping 
BWell I wouldn't bother ordering a grip that wouldn't work correctly, just saying wink wink.
AHonestly a bit surprised they’d not have reached out and at least provided the info needed to make their grips compatible
AHave you been having to buy every grip on the market to make them compatible?
Fyeah, I can send it to you. no problem! 
TThat’s awesome of you 
WGot a reply from Virpil: ".... Considering current production capacity and your order's queue position, we estimate that your order will be fully allocated between end of January to early February"
So it looks like I'll get it soon enough and there's probably no need to rush this

WNot all of them, some I was able to implement by gathering some data remotely from users
AOh, not quite that bad then
AStill though, couldn’t virpil, vkb, etc provide that data to you?
WStill even if I have the data I'll need to test it anyway
FI guess we can wait 2-3 weeks then! 
if they would have said March ai definitely would have sent you mine. Lol

RHINO #0865 Has Shipped!TI’ve been reading a lot of reviews and seeing people experience the odd overheating issue and the loss of power while the motors cool themselves down.
Is there currently a fix in the works for this or is it something that will just have to deal with?

RHINO #0866 Has Shipped!WIt's not overheating per se, just thermal limiting since any motor working at max current will dissipate a lot of heat. Thermal limiting is very gradual. But if prolonged dogfights is your game you might consider building a super Rhino(with the big motors) or FFBeast.
FYou could also decrease the output forces to help with that, or not?
TWould fitting 2 140mm pc case fans in a push pull config with a mesh grill on both sides have any noticeable benefit?
TThank you for replying I appreciate it.
FSimple question.... I have a Moza AB9 FFB base. It was a gift....
I am now looking to DIY my TM TPR into FFB.... can those 2 live on the same PC?

WYeah, I don't see why not
FVPForce has no entry in the export.lua?

TThank you Yuchen, that’s great to know.
I just want to make the right decision as I’ve never had a ffb stick before and just don’t want anything that takes away from the experience of it.

FI don't have any overheating issues but I don't fly warbirds and don't do long sessions of just dogfighting
TThank you for your message, it’s good to know that.
WIt does, but it plays nice with others
RLmao
RRealized I needed to turn down my VRS intensity when the Rhino shook my stick in my hand so violently that it unscrewed itself and rotated in my hand
LFor those with diy sticks, what design did you use? Im looking at jflyer81s f16 grip..
WWhat's the current turnaround times for the steel mounting plate from order to dispatch?
WSame or next day
AI'm still confused about how the DIY kit works and what I need to integrate it into my pedals and stick. On the connection diagram in the showcase channel there are two potentiometers marked as "optional". I can see that the motor driver boards are integrated in the back of the motors. I guess there's also some sort of encoder. But where does the position feedback come from? Other FFB builds use potis at the output shaft. If theese are not required and there's a gear between the motor and the gimbal then the encoder has to be a multi-turn absolute type which I doubt...
BThe Motor itself has positional sensor feed built into it.
ASo it's a multi-turn encoder? Or is a homing/centering procedure required each time after I switch it on?
WMost use cases for the DIY kit operate within a single revolution of the motor, so homing is not required if the motor starts with a "centered" calibration. While the motors support multi-turn configurations, they need to be centered at startup to establish the "central" revolution for proper operation.
The potentiometers shown in the diagram are multi-functional and can be used for tasks like adjusting spring gain or other settings.

ACan the centering be automated? Verifying that the controls are free from end stop to end stop is part of the pre-startup checklist, anyway. So if I do that the controls should be ready? I think I need either the bigger motors or a gear. Timing belts would be cheapest like in the Rhino base...
WAuto centering would be a nice-to-have addition, but it's currenly on the roadmap for the future versions.
