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

Nice that DCS implemented this in the fist place!

That's really cool

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

MagpieOP•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

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 7:35 AM

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

gtwgiorelli•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)

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 7:36 AM

Nice.

gtwgiorelli•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.

gtwgiorelli•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.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 7:45 AM

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

gtwgiorelli•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.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 7:48 AM

Thank you for your attention.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 7:53 AM

If i order the ffbkit 57blx2 how long it takes to ship paying via paypal?

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:08 AM

And can i chose the shipping method? Its too the U.S

walmis•3/8/23, 8:09 AM

I could ship it this week

walmis•3/8/23, 8:09 AM

Let me check the offers, I usually ship with FedEx it's fast and affordable

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:09 AM

That works

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:10 AM

What grip do you reccomend?

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:10 AM

That you think works best with your board.

walmis•3/8/23, 8:11 AM

Any Virpil or Thrustmaster will work fine.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:11 AM

Nice.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:11 AM

Will fly mostly helicopters and ww1 and ww2 planes.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:13 AM

Right now I'm using the MS sidewinder ffb2 and i used the calibration to have a very small and sensible range of motion. I imagine this is possible with your board right?

walmis•3/8/23, 8:13 AM

Yes, the configuration is very flexible

walmis•3/8/23, 8:14 AM

How are you planning to build it?

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:14 AM

I will look up some gymball designs and try to figure it out. Not much worried about the housing now. Since I have plenty of space to mount it.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:16 AM

Ive built some 2dof 3dof and 5dof motion platforms.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:17 AM

So I'm not completely new to some concepts but i will try to ask around for some info.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:18 AM

This is the current setup im using

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:22 AM

Do you have any advice like using a specific type of belt that's more appropriate to the forces of your motor. Or anything that will save some time.

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:24 AM

Or if it need active cooling all the time.

walmis•3/8/23, 8:27 AM

It has auto fan control, so you can attach fans to cool the motors. Belts - HTD5M are recommended

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:27 AM

Thank you. I will try to not bother you too much anymore.

walmis•3/8/23, 8:28 AM

Here's some pics of the motors: https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/972180323787997255/972592222660857866

gtwgiorelli•3/8/23, 8:30 AM

Great. I will try to find some gymball designs.

Ggtwgiorelli What grip do you reccomend?

PiNKSH!T•3/8/23, 9:04 AM

Hey m8, though it may not look exactly right for warbirds etc. the Virpil (or VKB's) Modern Russian Style grip is really a good choice for all 'round, it has a brake lever at the bottom that can work well for British/Russian warbirds, it also has alot of HAT's buttons two dual stage triggers one that can flip up, there are only a few select aircraft that have more buttons or HAT's but they can't be bought easily except through Komodo sims & places like that, they are arguable if their worth the price.
