flying the f16 irl is done with a force sensing side stick that only moves like 5mm in X/Y axis, ww sells these & you don't use an extension with those, well not typically from what I know & def not in the f16 irl. Those WW f16 grips & Moveable Force Sensing Stick Base, MFSSB are perfect for emulating the f16 controls but the mffsb is probably not the best choice to get for an 'all round' base, though the Rhino is perfect for that job imo cause you can tweak it so much + do things like force trim in heli's etc.
If you fly warbirds or helicopters then imho the Rhino is awesome & so much fun, plus for more modern jets it's just as useful & fun due to the ability to make separate config files for each aircraft in the Rhino software. What do you typically fly?
as far as 'all round' grips go, this depends but honestly either the VKB MCGU or the Virpil version, or the WW F-16 grip, it has slightly more axis or buttons, but only with the adapter, also if you fly or are interested in the A-10 it's later model like the DCS full fidelity module also uses the same F-16 style grip, but center mounted & on a extension
i mean i allready have the winwing orion base and stick, flying lots of diferent modules, lots of choppers tho. As my Rhino getting closer to shipping i was wondering if an extension is necessary or nah
I have the WW F-16 grip. I decided not to use the extension after a bit of testing. The Rhino plus the adapter plus grip is enough for my setup. The extension makes the throws very big.
Hey @warwolf09, So the last Shipped RHINO is #0074 on 2023-04-05 Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 149 days, median is 183 days, max is 214 days 73 Rhinos are shipped in total
Not the same grip but close, A10 is derived from it. F-16 grip has a pinky paddle and a 13deg termination at the base. Real Warthog grip has no pinky paddle and the bottom terminates flat. They also have different DMS castles.
F-16 being a sidestick and needs the forward tilt for ergonomy. A10 is a center stick and the grip can't smack the panel that needs to be in pilot reach. Pics directly from Essex.
I hope this helps you have an idea of the height with the winwing adaptor (when the Rhino is ready for shipping you can order the adaptor). The adaptor can be seen as these 2 "rotative clamps".
Apologies if this already has been answered, but finding old info isnβt that easy on Discord How is the gimbal angle/stick deflection sensed? Is it the position of the FFB motor axis or do one need potentiometers for this?
There are, I also modeled them and have them as Fusion or step files if you need. Belts picked up through Beidler's Belts (Gates GT tooth, 5mm pitch... HTD belts are more common), small pulleys you can find on Amazon/Aliexpress etc and big ones you can print. I just posted some pics in the showcase channel of the small form factor version (150mm cube) I'm developing into kits to offer to go with walmis's kits.
No I modeled the 57xxx motors. I am working on a kit for the bigger motors but for now am using a generic modeled Nema34 that's 95mm long I found on GrabCAD for free. At some point I'll model the driver segment walmis adds to them but this is the one I think https://grabcad.com/library/stepper-motor-nema-34-3
