JHi all,
Just to say that Walmis did an amazing work with its FFB.
Just received it. Outside quality and finish look really great. We notice the well known motor kogging but it’s disappears when you plug the DC. Force comes as soon we plug the USB. A notification appears in Windows with a link to the connected website and drivers.
Really amazing job Walmis. Bravo

WHey @flyingtux706, really glad everything arrived safe and sound 
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback!
NBeen away from it all for a while 
FAnyone know the current delivered s/n count? 6 or so?
SThink he just shipped 6, where you at?
F23 I think
WLast SN shipped is 0008
KWohoo! Can‘t wait for 0010 
VNor can I for 9 lol
NI mean I got to be 11
Snope, sorry, that's me 
T<30 
TI'm waiting for version 2.........
TI like that your serial numbers indicate that you plan to sell 9999 units.
DJokes on you, watch it be hexadecimals! We can go all the way to FFFF

RHas anybody printed the propelor gimbal and have slight play in the roll axis?
WThat center part with bearing needs to be tight
RThe long m5 bolt with 2 x flange bearings? In order I have m5 bolt, m5 nut, 2 x flange bearings up top. Seams the threaded part of the bolt barely protrudes the bearings..
R
WYou need to preload the whole sandwitch with a nut on top
RI don't have enough thread to have a nut underneath and on top. I'm using an m5 x 50 as per the github plans. Should I use a long bolt? Or should I only have one nut on top of the sandwich?
R*longer bolt
WI think you might need m5x60
RI'll give that a go
WI like to think more in positive terms 
PSorry might want to check S/N again that's mine lol 
Pwhichever is easier to wrap your head around

SI'm planning to order a Rhino base, been wanting to get another FFB stick ever since the glory days of the Sidewinder and Wingman Force. One question... I use Joystick Gremlin pretty extensively for all my button mapping... will that work with the force feedback? Or how are other people doing things like setting up shift/mode buttons with the Rhino?
SI found a comment by the Joystick Gremlin dev on reddit that seems to indicate Joystick Gremlin won't work with FFB... https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/comments/lnf8g6/knowledge_about_force_feedback_with_vjoy/ I would be fine if I can use the base as one controller device and the grip as another, but I'm not sure that's possible with the Rhino?
ASo you want to combine several devices into one?
AI'm just guessing here, but is the poster's problem that when he makes a combined device with vjoy, games don't understand that the vjoy device is ffb
SNope, the way I have mine set up is to have one vJoy device per physical controller, and use JG to add things like a shift button, and add button press emulation for the ministicks (so they work as both axes and buttons). then I use HidHide to hide the physical devices and the game sees only the vJoys. If the base is a separate controller though, it would be no problem for the game (DCS) to take the pitch/roll from the base and everything else from the vJoy devices.
SI did all that because I have Virpil, VKB, and Thrustmaster hardware, and didn't want to have to learn 3 different proprietary joystick programming interfaces...
AI have those AND winwing, I'm working on a review so I understand why you use gremlin
AIf you're only looking at dcs, shouldn't it be ok even if you don't hidhide?
Ait would see the rhino base in every case?
Athen you just bind the buttons to the vjoy device
SI saw in the FAQ that the VKB adapter for the Rhino is basically just a hardware connector, not electrical, so the VKB grip will have a wire that goes to its special controller box and will still be seen as a separate device from the base, and that would work, but I'm thinking about changing to the Virpil grip, and it sounds like that would communicate directly through the Rhino base controller device.
SYes, DCS works fine if you don't use HidHide, but it makes for a pretty cluttered control setup screen in the game. Il-2 is more picky though, and I would have to use JG's input repeater function to map buttons to controls in the game, which is a real pain.
SIt should still work if you only want to use buttons via Gremlin and bind the axis to the actual base controller or am I wrong?
AIl-2 definitely much more of a problem
Athat thing has the most hideous controller handling I've seen
Abut I think they're working on improving it
SMy concern is that with a Virpil grip plugged into the Rhino base, Windows would only see the Rhino base, from which it would get all axis movement as well as buttons. If I set up a vJoy device for it and used HidHide, then it sounds like the FFB data wouldn't get passed through. Whereas if I had a VKB grip on the Rhino base, Windows would see 2 devices: Rhino base and VKB joystick. It wouldn't get any axis movement from the VKB, but that wouldn't matter.
