Force Feedback for All

High-torque force feedback that transforms simulation from visual to physical: stall buffet, trim forces, and aerodynamic loading you feel through your hand.

VPForce Rhino FFB Base

Modern Force Feedback for Serious Sim Pilots

The VPforce Rhino delivers up to 9 Nm of torque with smooth, precise, zero-slop control and force feedback far beyond legacy consumer sticks. Based on refined open-source design, the Rhino transforms simulation from visual exercise to physical experience. Stall onset, trim motion, buffeting, and subtle aerodynamic cues come through sharply and consistently.

Windows recognizes the Rhino as a native FFB device. In simulators with built-in support like Condor and FFB-enabled aircraft in DCS, it works immediately. For simulators lacking native FFB, VPforce TelemFFB adds telemetry-driven effects for MSFS, X-Plane, IL-2, and Falcon BMS, producing trim feel, airframe loading, rotor dynamics, weapon recoil, and many other forces derived from real-time flight data.

VPforce Configurator writes settings directly to firmware: centering force, damping, friction, motor limits, travel adjustment, and multiple onboard profiles per aircraft. These adjustments run entirely on hardware with no background applications required.

Complete Plug-and-Play Base or DIY Motor Kits

The Rhino FFB base is a complete plug-and-play joystick solution: connect power, USB, and your grip—no assembly, wiring, or technical configuration required. Compatible with VKB, Virpil, WinWing, and Thrustmaster-style grips. Long throw (up to 44°) configurable in firmware for fighter-style handling. Over 5 kg base weight with integrated cooling and 180W power supply for sustained force loads. Designed for chair, rig, or floor mounting only (not suitable for desktop use).

For DIY builders, VPforce motor kits provide the motor control electronics and drive systems to realize any FFB control: custom pedal systems, yokes, collective levers, or modified existing hardware like MFG Crosswind, Thrustmaster TPR, Virpil pedals, and more. The hard electrical engineering is solved; focus on mechanical design while the motor control, anti-cogging algorithms, and firmware foundation are handled.
