Hey, yea the WinWing adapter attaches to the Thrustmaster connector on one side and accepts WW grip

Hey, yea the WinWing adapter attaches to the Thrustmaster connector on one side and accepts WW grip on the other. It has electronics inside to translate signals. Analog axes and buttons work! Except the Vibro motor.

MMagpie Sounds great. I'm really hoping some software wizard can sync these features up ...

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:10 AM

hey @magpiee - I got Telem installed and it's fantastic, Walmis is amazing for providing this

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:11 AM

gonna need to do some tuning, or try to understand how to tune it, but this is fantastic as a start

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:17 AM

lol, when you jump out of your plane, the FFB effects are still active - DCS is still pushing telem to the plane, even though your not in it

Dddrake1984 lol, when you jump out of your plane, the FFB effects are still active - DCS is ...

walmisOP•3/14/23, 8:18 AM

Good catch, will need to check if pilot is ejected

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:19 AM

would be cool to have a simple program (I know, I know) to give easy input values for the telemetry... something for another day when your not flat out building these things

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:20 AM

I'm gonna keep fiddling with things in the meantime

walmisOP•3/14/23, 8:20 AM

You mean adjust parameters on the fly?

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:20 AM

yeah, but I assume you need to restart the app for it to pick it up?

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:21 AM

because it's writing to a aircrafts.py file that is loaded from the main.py

walmisOP•3/14/23, 8:21 AM

It reloads the config.ini on every DCS mission start though

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:23 AM

oh, so I am supposed to be modifying the config.ini

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:24 AM

ok, my bad, I thought I was supposed to edit the aircrafts.py

Dddrake1984 ok, my bad, I thought I was supposed to edit the aircrafts.py

walmisOP•3/14/23, 8:28 AM

You can implement more advanced features, but to tune existing stuff you can use the ini file

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:28 AM

is there a way to get a complete data dump of all configurable options from DCS?

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 8:29 AM

I assume there is an lua file somewhere with a complete list

walmisOP•3/14/23, 9:00 AM

Not really, most of it you need to figure out

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 9:10 AM

how did you work out gun_vibration_intensity, was this on a forum somewhere?

walmisOP•3/14/23, 9:18 AM

That's just my own construct, that just goes to the FFB effect amplitude IIRC when shots are fired.

ddrake1984•3/14/23, 9:22 AM

ah, then that's my fault, I was thinking this variable (like the others) were pulled from the API, hahaha, but it's your own

walmisOP•3/14/23, 9:24 AM

The ones coming from DCS are listed in that telem window

walmisOP•3/14/23, 9:24 AM

it's possible to add more via the lua file

Wwalmis it's possible to add more via the lua file

GarrafaBr•3/14/23, 12:36 PM

Do you mean that would be possible to add landing gear transition and air breaks effects for the rhino (like the shaking motor from winwing f16ex grip gives)?

walmisOP•3/14/23, 12:52 PM

Yes, definitely

GarrafaBr•3/14/23, 12:59 PM

Awesome, thanks.

Wwalmis Yes, definitely

Is there a possibility to implement trim to harrier ??

True story I learnt Python a few years back just b/c I wanted to mod a flight sim - a year later I got a much better paying job thanks to the Python skills I had learnt while modding.

Yeah, Python is super awesome for rapid development and prototyping.

Wwalmis Yeah, Python is super awesome for rapid development and prototyping.

Jaeger•3/14/23, 6:13 PM

But only for some. I'm too dumb and have to wait if you guys can come up with something like a installer down the road. Noob Edition.

walmisOP•3/14/23, 6:16 PM

Yeah, I plan to make an executable launcher soon

Jaeger•3/14/23, 6:20 PM

Nice, even though the Tomcat, paired with the rhino already makes me totally happy

Wwalmis Yeah, I plan to make an executable launcher soon 🙂

amadeus•3/14/23, 9:56 PM

if you plan to build a ui in something like electron or whatever, happy to help build/flesh it out from the UI side

Timmy•3/14/23, 11:38 PM

Hey! Is it still actual?

What is the lead time for the RHINO?
Currently lead time is 12+ months (as of 23.02.17)

neat stuff, i've used linear servos from LinMot in a machine once. i remember them being pretty expensive. https://linmot.com/products/linear-motors/linear-motors-p10/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHUhRe30i4w
if i remember right, when you Estop these things, they will just drop !

Linear Motors P10 - 3x400VAC

The P10 series have been deliberately equipped with standard encoders and temperature signals which can be read by nearly all third-party drives.

If anyone needs ideas for what to do with their gunfighter after they get their rhino, I decided to convert mine to a collective with a motorcycle steering damper. Works pretty well. Also can be pushed to the side a little bit if I want my throttle closer when flying planes. Have two throttle mount locations using some steering wheel quick releases.
