I have the Rhino base, I have Telem working as the software and have my settings, by adding the RhinoMFG a new Telem window opens just for the pedals so I can put the settings I want for pedals, or it uses the same settings as I already have on the Rhino Stick?

You run two instances of TelemFFB (one headless if you so desire*). You can switch between Pedals and Joystick on the fly and adjust settings for each individually.

*Once set up, everything starts automatically with opening Telem FFB once.

Might be noteworthy: With the Rhino everything (VP control and TelemFFB) can be started, closed, restarted while DCS is already running. Also, you can change settings live while it is running. The Rhino eco-system is much more comfortable in that regard than TrackIR or VR or the likes.

The final version of the RhinoTPR-Tiger-DIY-Kit-Inside-Version is done. On Monday a delivery of smooth pulleys will arrive, so I can sell this kit now. It will cost 159.- € + shipping. For details see the FAQ. If you have questions or want to order send me a PN. Next project will be the RhinoTPR-Tiger-DIY-Kit-Outside-Version, where no drilling is needed, but the motor is placed outside of the the TPR. This needs more space behind your TPR in your SimRig. Whereas the inside version looks cleaner.

See below the first test for a Motor-Outside-Version of the RhinoTPR DIY kit.
An enclosure for the Rhino Mainboard is already designed in FreeCAD and the 3D printer is busy building it at the moment.

Here is a picture of the newly available RhinoTPR DIY Motor-Outside kit.
This kit is for all people who want to MOD their Thrustmaster TPR with Rhino FFB without the need to drill holes in their brand new TPR.

Next projects are building a Rhino DIY kit for Virpil VPC Rotor TCS Collective and Virpil VPC ACE Flight Pedals.

Since the VirpilACE I ordered for the prototype still hasn't been shipped, I've started to adapt the design that Number481 did for the VirpilACE pedals to the MFG.
If it all works out, it will be a kit to connect the powerful 86 Rhino motor to the MFG for force feedback.
I'm still waiting for belts with the (hopefully) correct length and adapted aluminum profiles. But the first attempt looks promising.

I've ordered WinWing Orion pedals now to create a kit for them.
Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the delivery of the VirpilACE.

I ordered and received a Rhino MFG crosswind FFB kit from Kaltokri, very speedy dispatch, the motor came with my Rhino stick, easy enough to follow the clear instructions, the motor needs some work on the wire end to insert into the motor board, just stripping a bit and I tinned the bare wire or you could just insert the bare wires as you would an electric plug, if you are old enough to remember doing that. I was a bit confused with the X axis in the software but turns out I had a Y axis motor, its labelled, so a case of swapping the axis in the software to see it as an X axis.

The print finish is excellent and very tidy, all tolerances make for a perfect fit, very enjoyable build, the hardest part for me was mounting to my rig, 20mm M6 bolts are just long enough to bolt it all to a T6 slot nut on the 8020 profile.

Now to just get around to sorting profiles out.
