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/

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.

Interesting

@propeler3d that's cool. So mechanically simple

Fred•3/18/23, 5:26 PM

Heh, this was mine and I've had it for a while

Fred•3/18/23, 5:29 PM

Though, the monstertech plate isn't really usable with a desk mount - well made, just too high, even with a low desk. Plate itself seems well made, now waiting for monstertech to ship a chair mount

IIRC I saw a suggestion for mounting the rhino from above (but search is failing me now) - that seems like it would make it usable with monstertech desk mounts

amadeus•3/18/23, 7:39 PM

I mounted to the chair just fine with a bit of creativity with existing parts (obviously need the plate which you already have)

Fred•3/18/23, 7:40 PM

Yeah, I could hack it, but want a trustworthy quick release on it - not got the space for a dedicated flight-sim-only chair

amadeus•3/18/23, 7:41 PM

Oh ic, I assumed you had this chair already

Fred•3/18/23, 10:24 PM

I have the chair, but not a good way to attach with a heavy duty quick release

amadeus•3/18/23, 10:32 PM

i think technically it is quick release -- just have to un-twist these two guys and life it off

amadeus•3/18/23, 10:33 PM

(it is quite heavy with the rhino on it though)

Fred•3/18/23, 10:36 PM

The circled parts and bracket are the parts I’ve ordered - they don’t come with the chair

Anyone knows the lead time for motors kit?

mork•3/19/23, 7:06 AM

Did you flip the top plate of your Virpil gear to get the connector at the bottom?

amadeus•3/19/23, 8:45 AM

You can basically just unbolt the sides and flip. Usually requires intentionally positioning the cable around and through stuff to get it to route properly, but pretty easy overall

ummo•3/19/23, 10:23 AM

@walmis do you have any plans to expand manufacturing capacity / turn this in to a more "serious" business?

walmis•3/20/23, 9:01 AM

What's the amount of units per month to qualify as serious?

Wwalmis What's the amount of units per month to qualify as serious? 😄

The amount to get to their number in "two weeks".

amadeus•3/20/23, 7:49 PM

lmao, lad drops in, expects immediate change

Will3D•3/20/23, 7:58 PM

I just tried XPforce and MSFS for the first time. I don't seem to be getting any real effects once in the air. I expected the stick to tighten when going fast, and become slack during a stall. But nothing. What am I missing ? I feel lots of wheel vibrations on the ground.

SwiftVengeance•3/20/23, 8:05 PM

is xpforce supposed to do that?

Will3D•3/20/23, 9:16 PM

I don't know! I would have thought it could. The Brunner software looks at airspeed and changes tension based on it. I assumed this might do similar. Otherwise what actually DOES it do ?? Currently mine only reacts on the ground. Once airborne there is nothing...

FlatSpin•3/20/23, 9:41 PM

It could if vpforce supported telemetry from msfs I would assume.

Will3D•3/21/23, 12:59 AM

Turns out it was conflicting with the VJoy driver. Uninstalled and now it works.

Will3D•3/21/23, 12:59 AM

However it is a bit odd in the way it works. Not really like I had hoped.

Will3D•3/21/23, 1:54 AM

What’s the chance someone can write the same as the DCS script for msfs??

Will3D•3/21/23, 2:05 AM

I also notice slight cogging with these motors. I thought they would be completely smooth. Is there anything that can be done? This is with the 86BLF04 btw.

Will3D•3/21/23, 5:01 AM

Interestingly, when I had the motors on the bench and just used a shifter on the shaft directly they were silky smooth. Is it due to them now being geared? And the motor having to rotate 1+ times ?
