Thanks this was something I had not thought of. I pondered this all day; the curved shaft looks so cool, I need all the accuracy I can get if I'm ever going to succeed in aerial refueling and also my chair is an Ikea so I do need a bend. Buttkicker broke a metal part in the chair on Friday - my second chair destroyed by BK - so I could get a different one which I could modify. But then I would also have to redesign my K-51 collective mounting

I mean I love building my cockpit but there is just too much going on rn

. I think I'll make the front panel distance adjustable now. I can pull it back closer if I give up the extension later.

You're welcome. There's some great discussion on this above, like the bit with the F18. Deflections are measured in grip displacement, not angular displacement and it has half the forward travel as back. You can set the digital endstops wherever you like so you can properly tailor the throw to any setup.

High deflection angles also get challenging with grip angle, at the extents the ergonomy of button reaches is different than neutral. This is all stuff rl designers have to wrestle with.. the panel needs to be within reach when strapped in so controls geometry is chosen accordingly. This is why many planes have a notch cutout on the front of the seat, offset shafts etc.

Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 132 days, median is 138 days, max is 209 days
49 Rhinos are shipped in total

DirtMerchant•2/20/23, 1:56 AM

hey does anyone else have issues with IL2 dropping FFB sometimes?

DirtMerchant•2/20/23, 1:56 AM

it just goes slack on me with the MSFFB2 Im running

WhereNoLarkFlew•2/20/23, 2:08 AM

Probably overworking it

DirtMerchant•2/20/23, 2:27 AM

not likely, it goes in DCS for hours without issue

DirtMerchant•2/20/23, 2:27 AM

its an il2 issue

10 Rhinos in 30 days now, impressive.

TheZoq2•2/20/23, 12:35 PM

And about 2 per day on weekdays the past week I think

Did you order yours with a plate by any chance?

Anthony•2/20/23, 2:56 PM

Shit, at this rate I’ll have to come up with those €800 much sooner than I’d have expected

SStoned Kakapo Did you order yours with a plate by any chance?

HairyBrenndog•2/20/23, 2:58 PM

Nah just all the adapters. I already had a monstertech plate made up beforehand.

Boosted•2/20/23, 9:15 PM

130 to go, lol

Jon (Bounty_V)•2/20/23, 9:49 PM

i think walmis said a lot of rhinos were waiting on an extra part he didn't have in stock, like the monstertech plate or grip specific adapter, which made them seem to fly off the shelf

PPiNKSH!T go into the effects tab, look for the End Stops box, you can change the settings...

Vulcan•2/21/23, 2:11 AM

So after clicking rescale axis I didnt notice a change in DCS and I also went into windows game controller settings but it still takes full deflection on X + Y to reach the end. The "endstops" feature where it creates force seems to be working however, just not the axis rescale... did I do anything wrong?

Vulcan•2/21/23, 2:11 AM

mashed send / store config 500 times

DrQuinn•2/21/23, 3:25 AM

Are there part files/BOM for those of us way down the list that might want to try our hands at building out own from the kit?

VVulcan So after clicking rescale axis I didnt notice a change in DCS and I also went in...

walmis•2/21/23, 5:17 AM

If it reaches the end of axis then it means working like it's supposed to

walmis•2/21/23, 5:24 AM

New additional axis scaling will be in the next version

ddrake1984•2/21/23, 5:39 AM

Can you make the motors have a hard stop at a certain point? Or is that unachievable

ddrake1984•2/21/23, 5:40 AM

I.e. cannot go further even with force

walmis•2/21/23, 5:45 AM

Nope, that's not possible with motors, they have limited torque and limited control bandwidth (magnetic flux doesn't energize and dissipate instantly) so you can only come close to true hardware end stops.

ddrake1984•2/21/23, 5:45 AM

Ok, thats what I had thought

skyPickle•2/21/23, 5:10 PM

is there a way we can collaboratively work on a document that walmis can use as a manual? Something like a chuck's guide, complete with examples for each setting and maybe youtube links?

skyPickle•2/21/23, 5:10 PM

github or other real time editor?

skyPickle•2/21/23, 5:12 PM

perhaps something that allows pics and labels and text like google sheets?

skyPickle•2/21/23, 5:12 PM

@walmis what do you thiink?

skyPickle•2/21/23, 5:13 PM

it should prob be under an account you control so you can liimit who can edit

walmis•2/21/23, 5:36 PM

Hey, thanks for this. I was thinking of something along those lines, like a "live" manual which can be constantly improved. Probably Google docs might be a reasonable option

skyPickle•2/21/23, 6:36 PM

ok! make a google sheets link, add me to those who can edit and I'll start working on it. It may have typos, errors or simply be bad but at least you'll be able to add comments to fix without taking much of your time

walmis•2/21/23, 6:39 PM

Thanks so much! I suck at writing manuals, but once there's some structure to start from I'll probably get into it

skyPickle•2/21/23, 6:39 PM

maybe the link can be pinned?

walmis•2/21/23, 6:39 PM

I've setup a starter template:

Link updated, got rid of DOCX
