First, I want to mention that I finally got to try out my Rhino, and DAMN am I impressed. Seriously Walmis, you have created an awesome machine with all the software options I hoped for and many more I don't even understand yet...
PS- My reason for using the Rhino for the F-18 is the ability to adjust the total travel when using an extension and adjust "spring tension". I bought the Rhino for WWII birds and helicopters, but I love it so much I pretty much intend to use it for all aircraft just with proper settings for each to reflect the real aircraft as closely as possible.
Hey @.flatspin, So the last Shipped RHINO is #0041 on 2023-01-27 Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 112 days, median is 110 days, max is 196 days 38 Rhinos are shipped in total
Thanks for the reply Walmis. It will probably be a little while before I order the WW F-18 grip and your adapter. Now that I've started building the new flight sim my credit card balances are quickly getting out of hand!
Just a thought guys (for now): I was told the following by someone claiming to be an ex A-10C pilot a few years ago, so this is not confirmed 100% true. Anyway I was told that a lot of fly by wire aircraft including the A-10 have a shaker attached to the stick that vibrates the stick to warn you of an impending stall. I think he said that's what the big growth on the stick right below the pinkie paddle houses.
So first, can anyone confirm this or even give us more info? And second, is there a practical way for us to add this to the VPForce effects if DCS doesn't already provide it? It didn't seem to work in the F/A-18 but don't trust my setup as I was in a hurry.
Anyway I know that this info is available via telemetry because SimShaker has a stall effect option. If it's impractical to add this effect to the FFB effects, I might actually install a shaker on the stick extension and use simshaker to run it LOL.
I'm glad you corrected me on the A-10 fly by wire thing @anthony6743 , that gives me one more reason to add it to my list of cockpits to eventually hopefully build!
Hey all, sry for the simple question. I’ve been reading as much as I can in these threads. I’m looking at ordering a motor kit and building my own. I’ve looked at the few GitHub repos posted (I,e https://github.com/mabo1972/bldc-ffb-joystick-base and https://github.com/farm/bldc-ffb-joystick-base). I have a friend who can machine and print all the pieces in the repos. My question. Is there a good list of all the other parts that are required (power solution, buttons etc)? Any one posted more thorough descriptions that I can simply copy? Forgive me if it’s been posted and I’ve missed it. I’m very new to this.
