Hi, I checked the faq. But still have some questions. How long is the wait list if i buy it now. What i need to buy to have a ready to go cyclic? The ffb kit + rhino base?
Hey m8, The RHINO Base is a ready to go force feedback base & has a wait list atm, the motor kits are available to be posted out within a few days, the motor's in the kits are specially selected by Walmis to work as FFB along with his USB PCB. The base will work out of the box with Thrustmaster & Virpil grips Walmis has adapters for Winwing & VKB grips, the base is compatible with extensions but it is not as necessary as other bases due to the RHINO having a massive throw length.
Yeah basically you have two routes: you can get a motor kit and DIY the mechanics/gimbal/etc. or wait for the finished RHINO base. The wait list is pretty long, could be a year of wait.
Or not gimbal. I know it’s “traditional” for PC joysticks, but if you have the room separate X and Y hinge points is much stronger, and what most planes actually use. And with the big motors you’re getting into actual plane forces
faq should have the link to order kits or Rhino bases. Also there are plenty of ppl who have made gimbal designs I'm sure if you ask around you'll find I'm sure that can give you a hand with the design or at least point you in the right direction.
Charming dcs ffb moment I was flying the a8 and one of my elevators got shot off. I only noticed because the force to pull back reduced to half! I wouldn’t have known with my old stick
I've noticed similar effects on the spitfire! Might need to give both 190s and the 109 a spin soon. This has made dogfighting on warbirds so exhilarating
Yeah it’s cool when the devs do this In the F1 when you get hit by a heater your hydraulics usually leak. The stick gets floppier and then you lose any authority
About the gymball and housing, there is a page with examples for people? Because initially i tought it was more complicated but now i see is just a lack of clear info keeping people off.
No problem. You have a great product, and a lot of people are afraid to ask and think its too much and complicated for then. When it could be more clear the infos to expand the community.
