there's also a specific case where you're on a strafing run, focusing on the target and you basically need to just guess what the rudder is doing as your plane's trim inevitable changes with acceleration

AndyHillOP•8/13/23, 8:51 PM

I don't know but maybe having some feel in your feet could tell you what's going on before your aim starts to drift

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/13/23, 8:52 PM

there's rumble packs you can put on racing pedals to receive all sorts of useful information, would be interesting to see something similar added to rudder pedals, in addition to ffb

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/13/23, 8:53 PM

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/13/23, 8:54 PM

the new simucube active ffb pedals do something similar for braking as well, to what you want for rudder drift

that information would be incredibly helpful and useful.

Ramasurinen (Mike Johnson)•8/13/23, 10:22 PM

@_blave Thanks! My setup feels a little basic compared to many amazing ones I've seen here, but I'm a little hamstrung as I have to use my machine for work 99% of the time and don't have room for a proper dedicated sim pit. I'm already in love with the Rhino. Really missed FFB, for the past twenty years haha.

If it was as simple as mimicking what the pedals are doing the game, that would be “not too hard” to implement. If it was something that needed to be calculated, it would both require the right telemetry as well as someone (not me) smart enough to figure out what said calculation should be.

AAsger Actually is a bit easier then. When you message “!info email account” the bot te...

MashedPotato•8/13/23, 10:50 PM

Ah ha! That's why I didn't include it in my first formula. The last time I ran the numbers for myself I didn't remember subtracting, I just used the number from the bot

AndyHillOP•8/13/23, 11:46 PM

I don't know what the calculations would have to be, ideally the pedals' behavior would come straight from the simulator

AndyHillOP•8/13/23, 11:48 PM

we're looking at a potentially pretty severe chicken and egg problem, though, since not only is ffb kind of neglected for decades now, but ffb pedals have pretty much never existed

AndyHillOP•8/13/23, 11:48 PM

we'd have to get someone at ED and the Il-2 team really excited about ffb

blave549•8/13/23, 11:58 PM

OK I'm getting it. Disregard my naysayer comments. I will say that if someone made a kit to mod my MFGs to FFB, I would be sorely tempted... As if I need to spend more $ on this hobby/obsession.

AndyHillOP•8/13/23, 11:59 PM

of course the same benefits of what you get from the rhino would still apply as in amazing, non-springy feel and all the adjustability

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/14/23, 12:06 AM

Even sim racing, is only now slowly getting ffb and rumble in pedals. Fanatec has been the only brand to offer it directly on pedals for a long time, and ofc there's the basically diy solution one dude sells I shared a pic of, and now Simagic has rumble modules for their p1000 pedals, and Simucube is just now starting to ship out their active pedal to fulfill preorders.

Haptic seat pads are making a comeback to mainstream with NextLevelRacing's HF8, and buttkicker is also becoming more and more popular.

It is only a matter of time before rumble or haptics in racing pedals becomes a must have feature for flagship products all sim peripheral brands put out, and then with the massive popularity of MSFS, and 2024 going to be an INSANE game, people who are exposed to flight sim after being hardcore racing enthusiasts will start asking where tf the ffb and haptics are for that, having been used to it from racing.

The trickle down is sadly very slow it seems, and who can hardly blame flight sim game devs for not implementing features when no hardware exists to utilize the features save for people with 30k-500k commercial training rigs who do their own in house stuff anyway.

Places like news outlets giving the Rhino some exposure will definitely help, and at least module makers seem more responsive (as in priority wise actually have the time to implement sooner) than sim devs directly.

I think the best thing we can do, in addition to continually reminding ED, and IL2 devs etc. that FFB exists and we want features, is to keep an eye on any new sim that gets announced, and try to get devs for those on board as early as possible. Combat Pilot, a recently announced WW2 Pacific flight sim is a great example of such opportunities.

recoilfx•8/14/23, 5:05 AM

Well I actually added these mini transducers to my VKB pedals. They vibrate depending on the slip of the airplane so I can fly coordinated flight without looking at the slip ball all the time. The software end is actually a stripped down version of telemFfb playing audio to the usb sound card that powers these little pucks. Works great.

Since I fitted a FFB stick, I can normally feel if the aircraft is uncoordinated through the loading of the stick. Its actually one of the things that really impressed me.

walmis•8/14/23, 5:55 AM

Can you elaborate a bit how does the uncoordinated turn should feel, i.e. what forces do contribute to this effect? Is it the sideways G loading effect?

Seattime•8/14/23, 8:34 AM

In a real aircraft you feel it more through your body as the aircraft slips sideways, but with the FFB stick once you enter a turn it will load up (you need to then put some opposite pressure on the stick to balance the turn) until you balance with the rudders when it will unload to the point you can let go of the stick and still be turning but now coordinated. XPForce did this and now VPforce-TelemFFB does this. Originally I was able to enact this response by adjusting the G loading, but now it works standard. FI I can also feel it through my seat, as the internal back of the seat moves for sway. When I get a head mounted camera, I will upload a video of the stick, to explain it better. Old video of my seat on test attached.

Snooper•8/14/23, 8:50 AM

Sorry for the words but you feel it in your ass, and if is a little too much you feel like you have been hanged by only one side of the body

Snooper•8/14/23, 8:51 AM

Only a 3 or 4 DOF motion could mimic it

SSnooper Only a 3 or 4 DOF motion could mimic it

Seattime•8/14/23, 10:41 AM

Don't know if that was a reference to my video? If not disregard. Seat/Rig does sit on three big actuators..

. Simulation wise, there are good reasons for adding the active seatback and harness.

LeLv30_Superbus•8/14/23, 11:20 AM

Do real

have any kind of control loading systems for pedals and if they exist, what do they do?

AndyHillOP•8/14/23, 1:24 PM

with ffb pedals you could basically create an autorudder function since the slip ball data is pretty widely available in simulators and modules

I would of course only resort to such cheating in the cases where it's possible

recoilfx•8/14/23, 1:57 PM

AndyHillOP•8/14/23, 2:05 PM

well how does it actually work?

AndyHillOP•8/14/23, 2:07 PM

having again installed my mcgu grip I realized that a 600g stick is actually heavier than a 200g stick so adaptive recentering sounds interesting

AAndyHill well how does it actually work?

walmis•8/14/23, 2:08 PM

It tries to minimize the error where the stick is to where the stick should be, over time

Jamie D.•8/14/23, 2:09 PM

A message of hope to all who feel like the wait for their Rhino is interminable: My originally assigned serial number was 219. The serial number on my unit that just shipped to me is 165. I don't know if folks are backing out of their orders because they've opted to go the kit route or just weren't that serious, but either way, I'm getting my Rhino many months sooner than I ever expected.

AndyHillOP•8/14/23, 2:10 PM

sounds a slight tiny bit scary potentially, but I might have to give it a go

Wwalmis Click to see attachment

Reed•8/14/23, 2:16 PM

Will this be used in conjunction with the current options to recentering or do those need to be unchecked?

walmis•8/14/23, 2:19 PM

Here's a little comparison

Reed•8/14/23, 2:20 PM

Nice

AndyHillOP•8/14/23, 2:26 PM

have people who tried the new version checked back or have their computers exploded?

Reed•8/14/23, 3:29 PM

Exploding what happened to you? @walmis do we need to install over the top of the current software or uninstall the current software, and reinstall the new version?

walmis•8/14/23, 3:43 PM

You can extract it somewhere and run it as usual
