Think im gonna have slipping issues running a 72 and 12 tooth pulley this close together? Im getting about 30% engagement on the 12 tooth. I could include some bearings as tensioners

I found a bug, when you change the seat from pilot to gunner in Apache, the FFB will not work anymore, you've got no hardware trim.

legobirds•5/10/23, 9:29 AM

anyone had the problem before?

That sounds like it could be a DCS bug

I've heard of/experienced similar desync issues with other modules that have switchable seats

You definitely do have an increased risk of shearing off the teeth with only 3.6 teeth in mesh. The number of teeth a belt needs in order to transfer the highest working force a belt should be used with to the pulley is about 6.
With some rough calculation your safety factor from shearing off the teeth, assuming you use a 9mm belt, is only 1.15.
I would certainly advise you to use an idler to increase the number of meshed teeth.

Hi @walmis - Looking for a quick release mount for the Rhino and wondered if the screw dimensions were the same as anything else? I ask because the monstertech plate you supplied was for something else right? Maybe a large Virpil base? Or is it unique and the monstertech is bespoke to the Rhino? Thanks!

Hi, the MT plate was custom designed for the Rhino.

MattGoodman•5/10/23, 1:02 PM

ah, good to know! I'll have to work something out then as it's all mounted to a 8040 alu frame on a yaw2 and need to keep weight down so want to swap out the rhino weight for a fanatec csl dd when driving. Been tricky to find a solution so far

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/10/23, 1:07 PM

I assume m8 or m6 screws

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/10/23, 1:08 PM

Fastest would be to quick release where the monstertech mount interfaces with the 8040 frame

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/10/23, 1:09 PM

I'm planning to do something similar for throttle

MattGoodman•5/10/23, 4:33 PM

Thanks. It could be either m8 or m6. For everything else I've used the quick releases from https://qr4rigs.com/ which have been great for swapping out pedals with rudders and the wheel and they do have some generic ones so I'm seeing what can be done there

itd likely be 16-20mm in length

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/10/23, 4:34 PM

i think the monstertech mounts use counter sink screws so more likely to be 16mm

MattGoodman•5/10/23, 4:38 PM

I'm currently mounting the rhino using the custom monstertech to a 4040 peice coming out from the long 8040 sides most rigs have as the foundation and that's working fine. Just wanted a faster way of removing it. I think Q4Rigs might have something, just need to dig down and be creative

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/10/23, 4:39 PM

Yeah since you already have it then you'll know exact lengths you need etc.

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/10/23, 4:41 PM

Speaking of, do you or anyone else happen to know what these circled parts would be called? Appear to be some sort of bolt spacer or something.

MattGoodman•5/10/23, 4:58 PM

I've not seen those before, they look useful though. Hope you find them!

You could always ask Randy from Laserwing since those pics are from his simpit.

Excellent, just got home and unboxed. Will be a few days before I can install. My goal for now is getting the DCS helo's to work. I fly the 60 and huey mostly, but also give the 64 and mi8 some love.

Will be pretty much good to go out the box with the basic software

Subsonic•5/11/23, 2:13 PM

Likely a silly question...
I am looking at ordering a kit....and I see them listed as
86BLF03 x1 and 86BLF03 x2 and such.
I am assuming I need to order an x2 kit to build the stick base yes?
Thanks

walmis•5/11/23, 2:28 PM

Yeah, 1x is for pedals(or steering wheel) and 2x is for stick base

Subsonic•5/11/23, 2:37 PM

Thanks!

Subsonic•5/11/23, 2:46 PM

so the 57f03 kit is best for the stick base ? Any sense in going with the stronger ones for the base?
