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.
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….
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.
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.
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.
oh yeah sorry forgot about that, this is so really very tempting, is it running on it's own as a separate device or is it connected to the a joystick base?
@walmis Question on the WinWing adapter - can it be used with other TM/Virpil-style bases to allow use of a WinWing grip? Or does it specifically need to be running your firmware to make sense of it? (Apologies if this has been asked before, I searched briefly but didn't find anything)
I got my motors hooked up today just to test out. Such an amazingly simple process. I think I'm probably capable of building most of this on my own but @walmis has done such an excellent job from motor tuning, PCB design, and now I can see that the software side is equally as impressive. There is ~ZERO~ reason to try to redo anything he has done, it's just really well executed.
On to build a super simple gimbal just to have something to jerk around while I build the high end system. The laser cutter and 3D printers are going to get well used over the next week.
I don't see an "off topic" but if you are looking for a laser that can cut an enclosure for your DIY Rhino, this on kickstarter is a good deal for the 20W version: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elegooofficial/elegoo-phecda-laser-engraver-and-cutter?ref=user_menu. Of course kickstarters can always fail, but Elegoo is established. I'll be using the Creality Falcon 10W until the above arrives and while slow it should still be able to cut ply thick enough for a decent base.
Interesting product! I use a lot my 3D printer and my cutter (Silhouette Cameo) and I don't see yet (!) a use for such product but who knows in the future ? LOL
Hello all, small question; i like to put myself on the waiting list for one but i have a question regarding IL2; does it work OK with IL2 great battle (out of the box) or does it need some 'thinkering' ?
You get ground texture on taxi/take-off/landing. buffeting with gear down, flaps & AoA etc. the stick moves with trim, weapon effects like gun/cannon shake
also it gives a really good amount of resistance with the 9nm torque, with a light grip like the vkb Kg12 & a 200mm extension I get a really nice feeling stick, it's not like I'm using two hands & bending the extension when trying to pull out of a dive but still more than I got with my VKB gunfighter 3
also you can customize the stick feel per aircraft if you wish by making multiple config profiles in the VPforce software & you can swap between them on the go, this lets you change the stick feel per aircraft if you wish to, making it feel lighter or heavier, even change the length of throw for the +/- of the X & Y axis in the software (the Rhino has a huge length of throw, I think like ~40°)
