What does "Reservation Status: Waiting" means?
Am I not supposed to get a reservation number for example?

Should be updated now

walmis•4/21/23, 12:02 PM

I'm starting to think curves with FFB are a bit too complicated.
Let's say we trim to this position, what happens next? We end up on a rising slope and small inputs will cause large outputs. The curve benefits are then nullified. Not sure if it's plausible to move the curve along with the trim position, will need to research into that.

TheAmazinGreat•4/21/23, 12:59 PM

Difficult because the output endpoints need to remain at (-1,-1) and (1,1). So if you shift the 0,0 to the trim position it changes the shape of the curve

walmis•4/21/23, 1:02 PM

Yeah introducing non-linearity is

walmis•4/21/23, 1:02 PM

No wonder why DCS curves are broken with FFB

DrQuinn•4/21/23, 1:37 PM

Took me a hot minute to figure this out with my Brunner. With RHINOs increased motor strength, larger control throws should negate the need for curves I would think. At least what I’m hoping.

Wwalmis Should be updated now 🙂

TonyMOP•4/21/23, 1:45 PM

Thanks! I have now an assigned S/N!

Ye Old Grog•4/21/23, 2:45 PM

I'm glad I don't do curves. I might be missing out but at least things act the same all the time

peachmonkey•4/21/23, 3:01 PM

hi, @walmis , what about adding Saturation? I.e. there's no curve, it's a straight line, except it doesn't reach 1 or -1 and ends at 0.5 and -0.5? It would work great for DCS Mossie. The DCS saturation on its FFB axis is also borked...

peachmonkey•4/21/23, 3:20 PM

that would be lovely @walmis is there a doc where I can possibly read-up on how to do it?

peachmonkey•4/21/23, 3:43 PM

@walmis I found your post about the harrier above

peachmonkey•4/21/23, 3:43 PM

does Mossie have a Static FFB? (what does it even mean?)

walmis•4/21/23, 3:51 PM

I'll probably need to take free trial to check what's up with the mossie to understand how to fix it.
Static FFB means that the spring force is not changing and works like a regular joystick.

Magpie•4/21/23, 6:00 PM

The mozzie is fine, it's similar to how the spitfire feels. Very twitchy initially and then once you get used to it it's fine.

Unlike the hurricane that was heavier and needed wrenching around.

PiNKSH!T•4/22/23, 4:19 PM

This still has the best dynamic campaign out of any combat sim, ever since I played DCS & IL2 I've heard people comment 'if only DCS/IL2 had Falcon 4's dynamic campaign'. Falcon 4.0 Allied Force was the first PC combat flight sim I really played, by the time I BMS was up & going & was clearly the way to go over FreeFalcon I started playing DCS & IL2, though I was already playing IL2 1946 the same time as Falcon 4.0 AF

So the last Shipped RHINO is #0081 on 2023-04-18
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 156 days, median is 191 days, max is 217 days
81 Rhinos are shipped in total

boss808450•4/22/23, 6:28 PM

just have to say this after getting to test the rhino for an hour today after getting it last week: no idea how realistic my settings are, but having to use both hands to pull up a plane in msfs in certain situations is just awesome, great immersion

Will3D•4/23/23, 6:24 PM

What do you want to know ? Mine work great and very strong. But sadly no feedback of course. More likely to get feedback from Walmis' telemetry hacks in the future with a home built pedal than for Brunner to implement something. But they are built well and work well.

If the information was there it would be different. Hence my comment about Walmis' telemetry hack. But it's only for the joystick at this time. But I'm sure it could incorporate yaw effects in the future.

TonyMOP•4/23/23, 6:40 PM

Wow, …I almost ordered the Brunner pedals and also given their price I would have been mad to see that they are not giving any FFB from the rudder etc…

In that case I will keep my MFG Crosswinds w/ damper and the Buttkicker Advance that I have attached to it…..and hopefully in the future we will have some FFB pedals from Walmis or some hack from his software for the Brunner pedals….

Thanks for the info!!!

Will3D•4/23/23, 7:12 PM

Yes, I was disappointed at the lack of feedback also. They aren't cheap. But I feel it is just a software limitation. I think in the future a DIY solution could easily surpass them.

WWill3D Yes, I was disappointed at the lack of feedback also. They aren't cheap. But I f...

TonyMOP•4/23/23, 7:57 PM

yes maybe send email and emails and emails etc…to Brunner…At this price point they should implement the FFB in their pedals. But having lived and worked in Switzerland I know how fast they implement changes unfortunately. Their business is also more B2B oriented as B2C so that their business customers are more important to them. Anyway I hope they will implement the FFB in their pedals or even better Walmis makes a hack for these.

kingjamez•4/24/23, 1:22 AM

I’m really hoping for a clever Walmis motor to crosswinds adapter. I can’t figure it out yet, but that would be a very quick path to an amazing system. Overall I prefer the form factor of a TPR but the crosswinds offers such excellent value mechanically, if a way to retro fit with a motor could be made it would be super slick.

3d printed pulley in place of damper mount, attached with the same screws as the damper adapter, perhaps?

Motor front or aft of the fulcrum as required.
