overall it looks like this, with two clamping rings

@craptakularuk he has stated he'd like to produce around 100 units per year (do the math) unless he's able to ramp up production in the future.

So it will work with the WW extension?

TrigaNZ•1/17/23, 9:19 AM

ddrake1984•1/17/23, 9:42 AM

Yeah, the bottom part

ddrake1984•1/17/23, 9:43 AM

Im just worried with costant grip changes, metal beats plastic and will start to dissintegrate it

ddrake1984•1/17/23, 9:43 AM

If you accidentaly missthread it, consider the plastic ruined

You could extend either the TM end or WW end, both options would work

Hey guys, a little bit of good news! Currently working from home and made a proof of concept Python framework/app based on SimShaker telemetry that will allow to easily work with telemetry based effects per aircraft/aircraft class. Planning to release it open source on github

Oh okay

Wwalmis No

leninjahd•1/17/23, 2:58 PM

are there plans on making it open source?

walmisOP•1/17/23, 3:03 PM

Nope, it's very tightly integrated with the firmware anyways

walmisOP•1/17/23, 3:38 PM

You don't need that configurator app, It doesn't do any actual FFB

walmisOP•1/17/23, 3:39 PM

The quick start to FFB is with SDL2 library: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/CategoryForceFeedback

which I'm using now to build the telemetry effects

So i could write a program which takes the inputs from rhino A and sends them as effects to rhino B?

walmisOP•1/17/23, 4:16 PM

yep

leninjahd•1/17/23, 4:32 PM

Alright, just need to learn C

walmisOP•1/17/23, 4:32 PM

No need, SDL has bindings for most languages

walmisOP•1/17/23, 4:33 PM

fastest way is using python:

pip install pysdl2 pysdl2-dll

pip install pysdl2 pysdl2-dll

and ready to go

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:01 PM

@walmis It cant seem to find the stick

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:01 PM

walmisOP•1/17/23, 5:09 PM

Try this:

def find_haptic_joystick():
    for i in range(0, SDL_NumJoysticks()):
        joy = SDL_JoystickOpen(i)
        try:
            if SDL_JoystickIsHaptic(joy):
                logging.info(f"Found FFB: {SDL_JoystickName(joy)} index {i}")
                break
        finally:
            SDL_JoystickClose(joy)
    return i

def find_haptic_joystick():
    for i in range(0, SDL_NumJoysticks()):
        joy = SDL_JoystickOpen(i)
        try:
            if SDL_JoystickIsHaptic(joy):
                logging.info(f"Found FFB: {SDL_JoystickName(joy)} index {i}")
                break
        finally:
            SDL_JoystickClose(joy)
    return i

walmisOP•1/17/23, 5:11 PM

also tune down master gain when testing untested FFB code to avoid breaking something

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:15 PM

its not finding anything

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:15 PM

but windows Finds the joystick

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:21 PM

NumJoysticks is zero lol

walmisOP•1/17/23, 5:21 PM

you probably didn't init SDL

walmisOP•1/17/23, 5:22 PM

SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK)
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_HAPTIC)

walmisOP•1/17/23, 5:22 PM

add these at the start

leninjahd•1/17/23, 5:22 PM

yep that was it ty

walmisOP•1/17/23, 9:34 PM

It's exactly the case, these effects are based on the DCS telemetry data

Magpie•1/17/23, 10:46 PM

Hey I was asking in the razbam discord if they can implement the same bump you feel in the F5 when you press through the aileron limiter.

In the m2000, despite being FBW there's an elastic limit that takes 40kg of force to pull through. It then let's the plane pitch up at a higher aoa I think, maybe breaking the jet though.

Kind of like the lever in the f18

Anyway he says he's willing to look into it but I'm not well versed enough in the mechanics of ffb to describe how the F5 makes that bump. Can anyone help?

Hey @leninjahd,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0036 on 2023-01-12
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 102 days, median is 110 days, max is 183 days
34 Rhinos are shipped in total

Beathmeister•1/18/23, 2:29 AM

For those with Rhinos, what grip would you recommend for various DCS modules? I have a Virpil VFX (with 200mm extension) for use with the F-14 module and a TM Warthog (which I was planning to use for a dedicated F-16 setup with a FSSB-R3 when I’m ready to take the plunge on that). Is it worth getting another grip for use with the F/A-18, AV-8, helis etc.?

Magpie•1/18/23, 2:33 AM

I just have a Cosmo (I think it's called) with the extension. You'll need more 4 way hats for the A10 and f18 than the f14 grip can provide

def find_haptic_joystick(): for i in range(0, SDL_NumJoysticks()): joy = SDL_JoystickOpen(i) try: if SDL_JoystickIsHaptic(joy): logging.info(f"Found FFB: {SDL_JoystickName(joy)} index {i}") break finally: SDL_JoystickClose(joy) return i
