@walmis I can do the USB dump when I get home in like an hour if nobody else has by then.

WThanks, will be useful

ASorry if I missed it being mentioned somewhere, but what’s the plan for this and comparability with other flight sims (personally mainly thinking of IL2 BoX)?
DIt should work out of the BoX, pardon the pun 
AHa
Fwill it also work... on the fly?
PAnd the electronics are well... grounded.

PWell that's a shame. It is literally my dream joystick base.
SAfaik it uses directx force feedback and has basically the same compatibility with games as the Sidewinder.
Does the game support ffb sticks? Yes? -> works with the Rhino

WYep, that's correct! 
ASweet, that sounds very promising!
VI have a question that's going to be even more relevant when I'll be ordering the Rhino base (in 2 months hopefully) and that is: how hard would it be to encapsulate the belt in some cover and would it bring some negative side effects?
I do have a dog and as side effect a lot of its hair all over the place. On the current VKB GF base I wipe the rubber cover clean every day and that got me a bit worried that the hairs might get into the belt/pulley mechanism as they are on the "outside" of the base. If I would for example 3D print some covers and place them over the belts to ensure they are fully encapsulated, would that be introducing a possible fault point?

VAs long as you're not covering the ventilation and they're not rubbing on the belts there wouldnt be any difference
VIn fact you could probably design it to use two or three of the existing case screw holes and get some slightly longer screws
Twrap a towel around the base when not in use
Tdevices I don't have dedicated covers for get the towel treatment 
Pyeah, I'm going to have to buy a new joystick cover that will cover the Rhino as well
AGood question that
AHopefully getting a puppy next month so would also wonder
AGuess a dust cover extending over the base in addition to the stick would become many times more useful
Pyep, I currently have a joystick cover meant to cover my warthog stick and warthog base
AI’m guessing there’s a point to the belts being exposed, but I possess absolutely not one bit of technical knowledge to help answer that
Pwhile my warthog stick is currently on a virpil base
Pgoing to be more important for the dust cover to fully cover the Rhino
VIt saves a lot of time, material and complexity having the load bearing parts of the mechanism double as the case for the motors and electronics with the only drawback being some exposed moving belts. Which isn't as much of a concern on this type of device compared to constantly rotating mechanisms in an industrial setting. Although I don't know what his reasoning is, this is only based on my very limited CAD/CAM experience.
W very good insights! And the reasoning is very true. I thought about adding/releasing stl files for covers for small pulleys since this question comes up from time to time. The large pulleys have very limited range indeed.DWhat about my beard! I need to protect it from getting eaten by the gears 
VOh god I didn't even think about that hahahah
DI got a magnificent beard
Fthis will get into the news: santa claus tried flight simulator, got killed by his FFB joystick...
F"... not only the stick mechanics were pulling his head onto the stick base, the grip also started beating his head for hours until someone found him..."
DSome great news if there are any F1 fans here
Pif you really don't want vibrations, just turn FFB off entirely 
WIt's possible to adjust or turn off global periodic effect strength on the Rhino. :)
P@walmis is it too much to hope that you're getting a Rhino out a day?
PI know it is, I'm just very excited.
WA bit slower currently ;)
Pyep, better to make sure everything is done right and packaged properly
Pon top of everything else
WIndeed
WSix 
handed off to couriers today :)

WI'll eagerly wait for feedback

ADoes the Rhino base use different motors than the options in the DIY kit?
