when in doubt throw more motors at the problem
when in doubt throw more motors at the problem
Jtoo much gearing? not enough motors 
WWell I can’t add bigger motors. So have to rely on gearing. I’d like more power but don’t want to sacrifice the cyclic feel for helis.
KPersonally I'd try single stage at 10:1 first, but parallel motors on a single axis is an intriguing idea.
JMy answer was more intended to not be taken seriously. Reminded me of this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@BrickExperimentChannel which handles gears and motors extensively and how they solve a lot of problems in their experiments

I do nerdy experiments with Lego bricks :)

RHINO #0088 Has Shipped!
RHINO #0088 Has Shipped!
AThe bot seems to be stuck somehow. It's been showing 82 shipped for a few days now.
WThanks, should be fixed now
AWorks now. Thanks and you're welcome :)
JGetting awfully close to mine
RYup, just got my invoice. Paying tomorrow. can't wait.
B98 more to go for me, lol
S376 Rhinos to go!
but I know it will be worth it when the time comes!
Phi, @walmis, how are ya..
wondering if you had a chance to look at the Mossie yet.
Wanted to bring up a following point when dealing with the curves and your comment that small inputs will cause large outputs: Mosquito's full range of Y axis motion (elevator) is very high, to the point where such high elevator deflection actually serves no purpose during the flight/operation of the aircraft. Meaning there's no practical reason for reaching 1:-1, or even 0.5:-0.5. If you introduce a saturation and the ability to make the curves even flatter then it can possibly be a solution for this bird. The main problem here, obviously, is that it'll be a Mossie specific solution only..

SDoes MSFS support FFB? One of my biggest reasons for wanting it is for Reno
SJeez thats double mine! I get that @walmis is building them as fast as he can. I’m just hoping theres a way to ramp up production soon!
Anot out of the box, right now you have to use a third party app, costs a few bucks, and does take a bit of work and configuration to feel good, but not gonna be as good as like, F-14 in DCS or even most of the IL2 planes
SStill beats my current setup of t16000m fcs i bet lol
Aoh no doubt
Aand even if you can't get the settings right, you can still just make the rhino feel really nicely dampened in a way that no spring based joystick out there (even with dampeners) will feel like
Alike, i'll never want to play a flight sim without the rhino or something equivalent again tbh
TWould it be a good idea to set up a profiles channel for us to post each other profiles with the filenames:
T{Username}{GripName}{SimulatorName}{ModuleName}{mm-dd-yy}
TTLike that?
PWalmis is working on adding msfs2020 support to his telemetry app. So eventually we can just use that which I think will be a lot better than XPForce or whatever other options might be out there.
SHow hard is it to build myself from the kit. I really want to get using an FFB stick and I have the time for a little project. Only issue is that I have very little DIY and electronics experience/knowledge.
Jprobably pretty hard if you don't have any prior experience, knowledge, or tools
Sanyone currently adding FFB to their mfg crosswinds? 
would love to follow along
would love to follow along
AGot mine, tried in the Tomcat, wow. Really nice.
It will take a few modifications to my simpit to fit.. but really nice work @walmis!

WI was ready to purchase a set for testing, but they're out of stock 
WYep, I'm somewhat along that path. I'll post some details when I get a chance.
SOh wow sorry to hear that haven't seen em sold out in a while, glad to see it's still as popular as ever though!
haven't seen em sold out in a while, glad to see it's still as popular as ever though!SI'm also kind of curious to try out rhino in scam(star) citizen 
VIf you ship me parts i would be happy to be your tester 
Joking aside i have an mfg V3 with dampers if needed

NSince I got my Rhino ship notification, I’ve been staring at my Virpil Ace pedals thinking about how I could add a motor to them 
SSo Brunner finally came out with Direct X support.. Tried it, went back to using the Arduino
SThe VP force just looks like a better system
RPaid for mine and just waiting for it to ship.

LFfb doesnt really make sense on rudder pedals doesnt it?
WSide slip for GA and helicopter trim?
LWdym by sideslip?
WA slip is an aerodynamic state where an aircraft is moving somewhat sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming airflow or relative wind. In other words, for a conventional aircraft, the nose will be pointing in the opposite direction to the bank of the wing(s). The aircraft is not in coordinated flight and therefore is flying inefficie...
LI know a sideslip from gliders but in those you dont feel anything in the rudder
WI guess neutral position should change somewhat, or maybe some turbulence from cross wind?
LThats possible, havent really experimented
SFor helos it would make a lot of sense for me, vs the damper mod I have on it. Very ambitious, but I would love it if there was an easy way to add motors to toe break to simulate hydraulic pressure. I feel like I would feel some haptic sensation from the pedals during turbulence and what not
AIt could be a decent artificial feedback for it
