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.

Awesome to hear! WinWing adapter (beta) is available, you can order it at http://order.vpforce.eu

walmis•1/27/23, 3:12 PM

Currently tested with WW F-16EX, hoping it will work with F-18 grip too, but it's firmware can be updated for F-18 grip support if needed.

Jon (Bounty_V)•1/27/23, 5:06 PM

For those of us that are already in line we don't have to order again for new parts right, just square it all up once time to pay?

walmis•1/27/23, 5:15 PM

Once your turn arrives, I'll ask you to fill out the final ordering form (order.vpforce.eu) and you can select the final items you'd like.

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!

TripRodriguezOP•1/28/23, 12:32 AM

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.

TripRodriguezOP•1/28/23, 12:33 AM

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.

Anthony•1/28/23, 12:33 AM

If he said that the A-10 was fly by wire… I’d be suspicious

TripRodriguezOP•1/28/23, 12:34 AM

@anthony6743 Possibly he did not, my memory is even more untrustworthy than the average human... by a long shot!

TripRodriguezOP•1/28/23, 12:35 AM

It's possible it was the F-18 we were talking about

Anthony•1/28/23, 12:35 AM

Yeah fair, sounds reasonable!

TripRodriguezOP•1/28/23, 12:36 AM

Nearly everyone puts too much stock in their memory, it plays tricks on everyone!

TripRodriguezOP•1/28/23, 12:37 AM

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.

TripRodriguezOP•1/28/23, 12:41 AM

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!

Mack•1/28/23, 1:11 AM

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.

roller25.•1/28/23, 1:23 AM

That works great. Does this mean now that the F/A-18C has its own entry in the ini the other effects have to be placed in there too?

I found that to change the intensity for gun I had to place it under the F/A-18C_hornet entry.

Magpie•1/28/23, 1:35 AM

The a10c stick shakes if you stall with the flaps fully down

What is the issue with the TM F/A-18 grip? I was thinking about getting one to pair with my Rhino, so would be interested in hearing more about it.

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:15 AM

I have no clue what sticks do in reality, I'm just learning as we go

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:15 AM

If you've got the a10c just put the flaps out and pull some aoa

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:15 AM

And you'll see it shake

walmis•1/28/23, 6:15 AM

Ah, so it's in stock DCS?

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:16 AM

Yea

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:16 AM

I didn't think the a10c was modelled in it

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:16 AM

So when it shook I was surprised

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:16 AM

I was just dicking around with flaps

Magpie•1/28/23, 6:16 AM

Hey did you get in touch with the dude who does the m2000?

walmis•1/28/23, 6:23 AM

DMs are blocked with him, so wasn't able to reach out directly.

Magpie•1/28/23, 7:10 AM

I'm gonna try to pester him to message you

Magpie•1/28/23, 8:17 AM

Stall Warning Stick Shaker.

Stick shaker operation is a function of AOA vane, AOA indicator and interlocks with landing gear position and flaps switch. The mechanical stick shaker is mounted on the control stick just above the protective boot. The stick shaker provides mild agitation of the control stick 4 to 12 knots prior to wing stall in unaccelerated (1g) flight. Note that stick shaker is active only during landing approach configuration (landing gear down or flap switch in full down position).

Magpie•1/28/23, 8:17 AM

Apparently what we have modelled is correct!

Magpie•1/28/23, 9:05 AM

I do remember the EAC changed the stick position too once when I pressed it

Mike (Mugs)•1/28/23, 11:27 AM

Its a great grip and has served me well, the Cons

Its Heavy
- It wobbles (a bit of lego will fix that)
- Unless you have an extension you cant rotate it to the correct position.
  I also have the winwing and prefer it over the TM but these are minor niggles really

PS- My reason for using the Rhino for the F-18 is the ability to adjust the total travel when using
