The Authentickit Spitfire grip looks good 'n all, but one of those Yak/Lag grips would also do the spitfire but not the reverse. Oh they looked so dam good on the YT video too
yeah that's something that's kept it on the back burner for me, just need someone to make a TM adapted version then we'd be set, guess I could try frakenstine some Yak type controls onto the spitfire grip?
The Russian spade grip was something I always wanted to model but had a hard time finding dimensions/specs. I always marveled at how Replika did it. Maybe he was like the bf109 guy from the AK discord who has access to a 1:1 plane and was able to go sit in the cockpit to take dimensions.
Yeah, it's possible to tweak it enough with the current implementation so it's a pseudo fssb. The trick is to get it stable enough so it doesn't oscillate
Hey guys. I just put through a reservation. There was a category called accessories. Is that accessories that will come with the base or which accessories we already have?
yeah that's what I've heard in different docos etc. the force sensing stick was different enough for some pilots & to add on top the stick didn't move at all it ended up being changed to move a few mm in the x & y axis
hey @walmis, lee from ars technica here - apologies for the bother, but would it be possible to swap a few e-mails back and forth? i've got a preorder in and I'm interested in reviewing the VPForce on Ars, and wanted to be able to send a few questions your way.
I had some extra time while performing an engine run on one of our jets in Iraq, so I ran a flight control self test just to weed out any problems and ensure that everything else was ready to go on the jet so we could return it to service for its next mission. Once I "warm up" the flight controls and engage the self test, the flight control comp...
No arguments that the stick isn't ideal for the F-16. But, given that it's the only joystick I currently use, and can't be used without the power on, I wanted to see whether the issue I had was in my setup or in the module. Anyone else experience different spring force for the F-16 in pitch vs roll?

Hi, I want to integrate my custom joystick grip into the Rhino base... Shift register would be the easy route, but it´s not suitable for me as I also have thumbsticks on it which gives potentiometer values that I would like to use. Shift register is just an "on/off". Is there an "protocol" that I can use to send data from an Arduino via SPI to the Rhino?
Hey Walmis m8 what's an "average" temp for the motors for use over a few hours, not sustained hard forces the entire time but steady use with burst of hard usage (typical flight sim use really)? Would the mid 40° be alright?
Well, I already have everything wired up with an Arduino. I want to bring this into the Rhino to have an complete unit without the need to run additional cables and configure another joystick... So things get more cleaner and I only have "one" device to configure
Just wanting to understand your setup so I can answer your question as best as possible. So you use the Rhino connected via USB and your custom grip is connected via a second USB. Is that right?
So there is a way that you can reconfigure the Arduino and shift register to work in series and both send data to the Rhino via SPI through a single connection just like a Virpil stick. The shift register sends the digital data (buttons) and the Arduino send the analog data (thumbsticks).
