Right, but it’s only effects not stick setting as far as I’m aware. And it’s in python which I don’t really have the time or desire to learn. Don’t get me wrong it’s pretty awesome, I just think with some drop down menus and working with the vpforce stick app could provide some awesome features. Especially as the community grows, not everyone is a programmer

Python was only needed by the user to install the telem app but there's an exe install version now & as far as editing the effects per aircraft it's only adding a few lines into the config file no need to learn python or any coding skills, easy enough that I could do it

you can even just copy paste effects from one aircraft to another then just edit the numbers i.e. speed or angle of attach etc. But yeah at the end of the day a gui with drop down tabs for ffb effects per aircraft etc. would be really cool!

I have a jet seat and the additional immersion the rhino is going to give will be amazing

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 1:52 PM

I've got some ideas of what I might add in addition for further immersion, but for now I'll be content with the Rhino + VR

Issue is that not all a/c have the same telem effects, there needs to be a sheet created that calls out every effect and what planes have them

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 1:53 PM

Belt tension system for example sounds amazing, especially since it could be configured to work with racing as well

Apart from the ultimate end goal of having a full 6dof motion rig I'd be happy with either 3x ~40" monitors or VR with; the Rhino, jet seat, butt kickers & a seat mover to top it off.

yeah I have & I've been considering getting that instead of the jetseat

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 1:59 PM

The Jetseat is by Andre right

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 1:59 PM

considering the extra hassle in getting a jetseat now days, plus the fact I'll have warranty in country at a store like JB Hi Fi or something

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:00 PM

seen on forums ppl have got the HF8 working with the same software as the jetseat & butt kickers use, can't recall the name atm

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:01 PM

so you don't need game specific software from NLR, just reads the telem like the jetseat does

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:01 PM

SimShaker?

JJon (Bounty_V)SimShaker?

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:02 PM

yeah, SimShaker for Aviators I think

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:02 PM

it's the aviation specific version

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:02 PM

The Hf8 is just a rebranded Realteus and has all the exact same features, + any new software stuff NLR added

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:13 PM

I was thinking when I start getting some decent sim racing gear I might just buy another cheap gaming chair like I have & just swap out chairs when going from flight to racing. I have my throttle mounted to the side arm of my 'flight' chair & have the mount on the right for a side stick or hosas for space sim.

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:14 PM

As someone in the process of figuring out how I want to add flight to my racing cockpit it can definitely be a pain to merge the two together. Definitely making compromises for both and you end up with something somewhat suboptimal across the board, but it can be super convenient too with minimal time or effort on your part to change from one to the other

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:15 PM

actually this made me think I need to sort out a floor mount for my truck sim gear shifter & jump back into some ETS2

I love driving through Europe listening to the radio stations of the country I'm in

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:16 PM

If I had the physical space I would have a dedicated flight sim cockpit and dedicated racing sim cockpit, and on flight sim I'd have at least a semi instrument panel dash (which isn't really achievable with a racing wheel mounted on the cockpit)

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:18 PM

Well one way I was wondering about merging flight & racing is if I ever get to build a ffb yoke, via VPforce motor kit ofc, I was thinking if it'd be possible to build it with the idea of being able to attach a wheel to too. though it wouldn't be a direct drive wheel

maybe not then

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:19 PM

Best way would be to have it mounted in such a way to easily swap out yoke for racing

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:20 PM

Yeah if you add things like instrument panels it can get a bit harder I guess, I'd love one of WW's F-18 sets!

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:20 PM

Me too

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:20 PM

I'd love a panel for each of the major planes I fly

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:20 PM

PiNKSH!T•4/14/23, 2:24 PM

well I have my racing pedals (just g27) mounted inverted above my rudder pedals, so they can coexist, I was putting a flat bit of ply on the rudder pedals & that let me use the racing pedals fine enough, but yeah no other way to get around swapping yoke & wheel, although tbh the Rhino & ffb have spoiled my Honeycomb Alpha yoke for me & I haven't been using it lately, looks like it'll be a candidate for a VPforce kit!

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 2:25 PM

thats one way to do it

superbird1011•4/14/23, 7:35 PM

Can anyone recommend a budget 80/20 frame for flight sim or instructions on building my own (ill just need the mounting plates) as I dont think my desk mount will cut it anymore.

diy using a place like motedis would be one option, would have to source your own chair

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 7:50 PM

without a chair you'd be looking at around $400-500usd once you factor in shipping

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 7:51 PM

you probably won't find anything cheaper than that in 80/20 t slot because at that point the majority of the cost is the materials + machining, and shipping

superbird1011•4/14/23, 9:01 PM

Question is shipping to the UK!

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 9:25 PM

Maybe UK has a more local solution available

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 9:25 PM

Since the parts are universal could rip part list from motedis and order from anywhere that offers them

MMagpie Is anyone actually feeling any ffb on the c101?

sydost•4/14/23, 10:36 PM

Yes, but the effects are quite subtle. There is stiffening of controls with speed and aileron trim moving the stick. With full trim the stick is displaced around 1cm from center.

TrueTaco•4/14/23, 10:55 PM

is the waiting time still 12 months ?

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 10:57 PM

probably that or longer if you aren't yet in line. 300+ people in line atm iirc

Jon (Bounty_V)•4/14/23, 10:57 PM

on avg ships out around 20 a month it might increase over time

kingjamez•4/14/23, 10:58 PM

I’m looking for some details on the DIY kits. I just finished my own gimbal / electronics that I use with XPlane, Condor 2, and MSFS. It runs mainly on I2C on a RPi Pico. In the DIY motor kit, how do the buttons / normal electronics integrate in with the system?

TrueTaco•4/14/23, 11:01 PM

thanks for the info

Right, but it’s only effects not stick setting as far as I’m aware. And it’s in python which I don’t
