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?

gtwgiorelliOP•3/6/23, 10:54 AM

I still need to buy a cyclic grip for myself? And how the buttons will work.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/6/23, 10:59 AM

I already have a mssidewinderffb with a extension mod but not with the resistor mod.

Ggtwgiorelli Hi, I checked the faq. But still have some questions. How long is the wait list ...

PiNKSH!T•3/6/23, 10:59 AM

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.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/6/23, 11:05 AM

Thanks for the info.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/6/23, 11:05 AM

Omg lol

gtwgiorelliOP•3/6/23, 11:07 AM

The extension would be more about the ergonomics.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/6/23, 11:09 AM

So the motor kits are kinda ready to ship, but i will need the rhino base that has a waiting list. How long do you think is the waiting list?

walmis•3/6/23, 11:10 AM

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.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/6/23, 11:12 AM

I would like the rhino base. But with a year long wait i will see what i can do. There is some tutorials available? Im familiar with diy servo motors.

ddrake1984•3/6/23, 11:12 AM

does anyone know maybe walmis? but I just want dampening at the endstops.. like from 90%-100% of the +X and -X

ddrake1984•3/6/23, 11:13 AM

I don't want dampening between -X(0-90%)/+X(0-90%)

ddrake1984•3/6/23, 11:13 AM

just to slow down the endstops bounce

walmis•3/6/23, 11:47 AM

set the endstop power to 0%, then only dampening should remain

It's BLDC, steppers are not optimal for FFB

alphamike•3/6/23, 5:59 PM

Hello, how can i build this myself?

AndyHill•3/6/23, 7:18 PM

I feel like the manual could be a little simpler in structure

AndyHill•3/6/23, 7:19 PM

like maybe welcome - getting started - main stuffs - extras

AndyHill•3/6/23, 7:19 PM

you have 5 seconds to complain or my idea is approved

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/6/23, 8:34 PM

If it isn't out by the time I get mine in however many months, maybe I'll do the lowest effort quick guide

Aalphamike Hello, how can i build this myself?

Stoned Kakapo•3/6/23, 10:06 PM

You get the kit, but you have to figure out how to make your gimbal and housing

RustBelt•3/6/23, 10:23 PM

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

Ffastjet273 Yes. Look at my posts for pics

Dentedend10•3/7/23, 3:11 AM

thank you! I see you used some plywood? could you send me some more pics? no urgency, considering the waitlist is a year long

SStoned Kakapo You get the kit, but you have to figure out how to make your gimbal and housing

alphamike•3/7/23, 9:12 AM

Ok so how do i get diy kit?

Aalphamike Ok so how do i get diy kit?

PiNKSH!T•3/7/23, 9:30 AM

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

walmis•3/7/23, 11:18 AM

Nice that DCS implemented this in the fist place!

Jon (Bounty_V)•3/7/23, 1:55 PM

That's really cool

MMagpie Charming dcs ffb moment I was flying the a8 and one of my elevators got shot of...

Stoned Kakapo•3/7/23, 5:18 PM

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

Magpie•3/7/23, 8:31 PM

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

Hotshot•3/8/23, 7:33 AM

so... probably a stupid question, but might this also work for (sturdy) desk mounts (like Monstertech), or do I absolutely need a "pit"?

ddrake1984•3/8/23, 7:35 AM

it will work

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:35 AM

Guys, with the ffb kit it comes with a circuit board and usb to plug on the PC?

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:35 AM

I dont see in the faq and in the order page the pictures of the ffb kit.

Ggtwgiorelli Guys, with the ffb kit it comes with a circuit board and usb to plug on the PC?

walmis•3/8/23, 7:36 AM

Yes, motors, controller board, and cables to hook everything up (excl. power supply)

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:36 AM

Nice.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:37 AM

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.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:39 AM

With a few links pointing to some examples i think would benefit the community. Because this is a great product.

Thank you. And i just revisited your youtube channel. Have some good infos on it. You might consider putting it on the faq.

walmis•3/8/23, 7:46 AM

Thanks for the insights

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:47 AM

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.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:48 AM

Thank you for your attention.

gtwgiorelliOP•3/8/23, 7:53 AM
