Does the Rhino mount adapter connect to this Virpil thing

I am keeping on having issue since the last update. In the middle of a DCS game, the Rhino stopped and told me that boot loader was detected. I started boot loader and it tells me to upgrade the firmware although the firmware was already up to date, I upgraded anyway. After, the update whatever profiles that I load in VPForce, the Spring force is null, although all this other parameters seems correct.

I wouldn’t recommend just a clamp to the desk, but maybe someone who runs that can verify

Jehly•2/15/25, 8:17 PM

I use a chair mount

Old ProspectorOP•2/15/25, 8:32 PM

Yea I'm going to use a floor mount

Old ProspectorOP•2/15/25, 8:32 PM

Was just seeing what was possible I guess

walmis•2/16/25, 5:07 PM

DCS should create it's own spring effect. Can you post your dcs.log from saved games

Thorngeist•2/16/25, 5:08 PM

Log here, I think:

dcs.log208.24KB

walmis•2/16/25, 5:17 PM

Hmm, log looks good. Is you USB connection via HUB or direct connection to motherboard?

Thorngeist•2/16/25, 5:19 PM

Via powered HUB.

walmis•2/16/25, 5:21 PM

Try a direct connection to isolate a possible issue. There were some issues reported in the past with some hubs.

Thorngeist•2/16/25, 5:23 PM

Cool, trying now.

Thorngeist•2/16/25, 5:34 PM

This was 100% it, like night and day. All of the TelemFFB options were working, but no stick centering. Now I'm fighting the stick to roll, pitch, etc, which I can only assume is proper. Thank you!

Slavko Stanic•2/16/25, 11:48 PM

Anyone know what the wait time is right now? The FAQ is outdated

Bob Bushman•2/16/25, 11:57 PM

I've heard walmis say about two to three months.

Slavko Stanic•2/17/25, 12:04 AM

Oooh tempting

Slavko Stanic•2/17/25, 12:04 AM

Thanks

Bob Bushman•2/17/25, 12:40 AM

I have to remind myself I don't need a second one..

Bob Bushman•2/17/25, 12:41 AM

And my bank account won't like it.

Slavko Stanic•2/17/25, 12:57 AM

I wasn't even in the market for one but wanted to have more grip compatability, now I'm looking at this lol

onebullet95•2/17/25, 1:03 AM

I've been waiting since Dec 4th and according to the Bot, it looks like I'm almost there.

Slavko Stanic•2/17/25, 2:37 AM

Thats not bad, good to know. Thanks

It's usually shipped next day, delivery time is approx 7 days

Slavko Stanic•2/17/25, 3:46 PM

What is the Rhino made out of? I do notice 3d printed gears, but what is the frame made of? Looks like aluminum or steel?
Also, with 9nm and possibly a small extension, does this still have the ability to be as strong or stronger than a cam base? I have no reference for what 9nm feels on a grip vs on a wheel.

Bob Bushman•2/17/25, 4:11 PM

Box is painted plywood, and main gimbal is also 3d printed.

Stronger than my virpil bases, albeit didnt try the most powerful springs
But easily twice the force of any medium spring I've tried. But it is difficult to compare, the forces in an ffb stick is just that different.

The base itself has a built in 10cm extension, so most don't need extensions for height, nor for range (its quite common to reduce the range from stock) but some use the virpil z-extension to bring the grip closer.

That’s brilliant thank you

Merc•2/18/25, 5:18 AM

Is there a specific form or something to order the winwing adapter separately? I did not initially think I had a need for it but I decided to pull the trigger on getting one of their sticks. Need the adapter to run in my gooseneck.

Hello, I have a question regarding stick compatibility and switching. Currently on a virpil setup, and I can tell the software to load a profile for each grip so that I can use the one most suitable to what I am flying. Is this possible too on the Rhino ?
What about button and axis limitations on said grips ? Flankr features analog ministick and brake lever, is that supported too ? I read somewhere there was a button limit
