that's sexy. btw would dusting of the exposed moving parts be a big issue? also, I guess the case is 3D printed, but what about the gimbal?
WI can't see a problem with dust, but time will tell :) The case itself is made from wood. The gimbal is 3D printed. For 57BLF motors it's fully sufficient. For 86BLF otoh the gimbal would be need to be metal.
SSo what is the gimbal made out of in production units? My ffb2 has lasted 10+ years, what can we expect from these? Or what do you think it'll last under stress
WIt's made out of PETG, ABS and bearings (10 in total) + 4 external, bolts.
From my perspective these look pretty solid.
From my perspective these look pretty solid.
WAll in all this design in general is quite modular - the gimbal is replaceable, the drive system is reusable - it's the same as the DIY kits.
WSo from longevity standpoint I see it as pretty solid.
FThese things look amazing. I’m completely new here. Is there a place I can find all the info that I’m sure everyone asks, such as pricing and order queue?
FDisregard. Found the faq
NGet in line buddy 
GDoes anyone know the maximum stick deflection angle of rhino ffb base?
WHi, ~ +-22deg
GThanks! Your base looks super cool!
WThanks 
Fdoes anyone have experience with one of these in Il2?
FHow does it fair against a VPC WarBRD, for example?
Fcan't tell about IL2, but it should work pretty good since the game has native FFB support.

WIL2 has pretty good FFB implementation - I like that the spring center point drifts with the AoA
HYou could let it drift in dcs and fs2020 too by mixing in the aoa telemetry value which is accessible by the export.lua. Do you plan to get telemetry from fs2020 too ?
WIt's already implemented pretty good with XPForce app (for 10$)
Mis there a way increase forces like friction or spring, with aoa in dcs ?
Min the actual F18 stick force increases with aoa
HIf it does not by default @walmis could implement it and make it adjustable linear by a slider or by a graph where you could adapt a function you define by some points. Perhaps this an idea for the future wishlist?

WVKB adapters arrived :)
FBeautiful!
SHello 
SI want to ask some questions about the project/product, it is open source like i can build myself a similar one?
If the answer is yes, will you sell only the USB board or the diagram of the board?

GCheck the FAQ channel. Design is not open source, but you can buy motors and electronics from VPforce and build your own gimbal like some guys have done. Check the Showcase channel for different designs.
OHey folks, is there the possibility of adding extentions to the stick e.g. floor mounting.
W@ozwookiee it's possible to use a standard Virpil extenstion
WCan anyone give me a spec for the connector that should go out from VKB adapter to the black box?
WI guess a male connector for this should be on the base
V*It has changed slightly in the newer base
Won the black box also ?
VI should have a spare one if you'd want it sent
Vyes ill send a photo one moment
Vthat said im based in aus so may be cheaper all round to get one from them hahah

Wdo you have a caliper? Some dimensions would be helpful
VNo, I do have a tape measure to hand. but im geussing you'd need to it be rather accurate
WGive me a rough measurement of the diameter of the plug part
Vwill do one moment
Wand the threads diameter on the male part

W@vulkan607 perhaps you have a multimeter ? 
One missing piece of information is the pinout from the VKB grip contact PCB -> 4 wire connector mapping. That could be found out with continuity test.
