JEven 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.

RWell 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.
EWhich transducer are those? Would love to know!
Rhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074H4S71B?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title just these generic ones that you can find anywhere.

SSince 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.
WCan 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?
SIn 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.
SSorry 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
SOnly a 3 or 4 DOF motion could mimic it
SDon'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.

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

Awith ffb pedals you could basically create an autorudder function since the slip ball data is pretty widely available in simulators and modules
AI would of course only resort to such cheating in the cases where it's possible
RHmm, I'm not sure if I can feel the uncoordinated turns in DCS with the Rhino + TelemFFB. Which effect was this? WIP version?
WThis effect is currently in msfs only
RAhh ok - any plans on porting it over? I'd love to try it out 
WYeah def will be added to DCS
RWoot!
RI just saw the updated firmware message - what is adaptive recentering for springs?
W
Nso many new capabilities to explore!!
RWow, awesome. I have the old "Don't fix it if it ain't broken" habit, but I need to try out this feature! Thanks Walmis!
Awhat is ad... ah
Awell how does it actually work?
Ahaving again installed my mcgu grip I realized that a 600g stick is actually heavier than a 200g stick so adaptive recentering sounds interesting
WIt tries to minimize the error where the stick is to where the stick should be, over time
JA 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.
Asounds a slight tiny bit scary potentially, but I might have to give it a go
RWill this be used in conjunction with the current options to recentering or do those need to be unchecked?
WHere's a little comparison
RNice
Ahave people who tried the new version checked back or have their computers exploded?
RExploding 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?
WYou can extract it somewhere and run it as usual
Ffor DIY what motor size are most going for for a joystick base?
P
Aunclear since i haven't updated nor am i at home to check -- but i assume you're using like the latest WIP branch version?
A(also very possible there needs to be an update to telemffb to support new rhino firmware too
Pdisregard, I'm an actual moron
PI've used HidHide to specifically hide HID devices and forgot about it.
PUnhidden the device and TelemFFB works as it should. Doh!
Aclassic
WThe Rhino (57BLF) motors are most popular
BAny Quick reference guides on how to go about wiring the shift register.
AI tested stuff with the new centering thing and I can conclude that there isn't a lot of change if you don't have the feature enabled
B@walmis Thanks, guessing the switches are standard wiring with the ground daisy chained
WYeah, you need to connect all switches to common ground an the other terminal to each of the data lines.
BCopy , thanks 
C@walmis does the shift register board accept encoder inputs?
