Got a mouse pad and a Virpil coffee cup as well

By the look of the price, I’m pretty sure you paid for 'em in the total

Havebug•1/24/25, 12:17 PM

Virpil is very good quality indeed

Anthony•1/24/25, 12:22 PM

They surpassed themselves with this

Expert series looks like they’re moving from the old plastic stuff that made you nostalgic for the Warthog, to just leaving it way behind

Preorder was like 60€ cheaper than it is now. 330€ would make me think more about the purchase. Lol

Kruger•1/24/25, 1:14 PM

The thing is it is heavy. That means it can be problematic with oscillation in FFB.

Fr4Ged•1/24/25, 1:23 PM

It is way lighter than the TM Warthog grip (~1000g) with around 600g.
Worked fine with my default settings

Kruger•1/24/25, 1:42 PM

I use a t50cm2 with 200 mm extension and I sometimes have some problems with oscillation in war birds.

Fr4Ged•1/24/25, 1:46 PM

We will see. Never had issues and I am using that extension as well. Don't fly warbirds though

Anthony•1/24/25, 2:01 PM

That’s a massive extension considering that the Rhino is basically dimensioned to have a built in 160mm extension

Anthony•1/24/25, 2:02 PM

So yeah, I’d see how oscillations could be an issue with what effectively amounts to a 360mm extension

Kruger•1/24/25, 3:10 PM

But for helicopters this setup of mine is gold with the throw restricted to half.

Anthony•1/24/25, 3:36 PM

I used my 200mm extension at first, but I found it to be way too tall

Anthony•1/24/25, 3:37 PM

Got a Z extension instead, 110mm tall, so on the whole that’s still more than what I had before the Rhino, but not going on 40cm tall

Kruger•1/24/25, 3:52 PM

I got all my measurements from a Apache at first an had a 200mm virpil s + virpil z extension on it. After I noticed to much flex for Fixed wing I got rid of the z extension and now I'm pretty happy. I would like to have some more force to it when considering war birds but that's it.

Anthony•1/25/25, 1:03 AM

I’m basically sitting F5’ing like when a new module’s about to drop, but for the FLNKR grip to become compatible

Bob Bushman•1/25/25, 7:14 PM

Not a flanker grip, but I have a head tracker otw and a tv stuck in transit for who knows why.

Bob Bushman•1/25/25, 7:19 PM

I know it definitely won't move during the weekend I still check the tracking five times a day.

Not only that, but the price was reduced during the black friday and christmas sale. Virpil very graciously gave me a partial refund for the sale price difference on my preorder. I paid nearly 100$ less than what it is selling for now.

How long you reckon it’ll take to update the software to make the Rhino compatible with the FLNKR?

Anthony•1/27/25, 3:12 PM

(Note: not trying to sound whiny, I’m just excited and waiting with apprehension like a kid on Christmas right now

m2times_•1/27/25, 3:26 PM

hi, is it safe to pull out the stick connector from rhino and reverse it?

m2times_•1/27/25, 3:27 PM

i want to pull it just enough to be able to rotate it 180 deg

m2times_•1/27/25, 3:29 PM

FA, FO... I unplugged the connector, lmao. There was no slack sadly

m2times_•1/27/25, 4:30 PM

... i had to remove the dust cover and slide the grip mount down in order to plug the cables into the connector. If anyone is going to rotate their connector too, I recommend you start with this. Or ask walmis to do it for you during assembly, if possible.
