LI like adaptive recentering better with Mi-8, pitch seems easier to keep. I have a 20 cm extension.
ROK excellent going to get installed today sometime and test
JPlease note that the cable between mainboard and shift register is not too long. Had massive problems with a cable about 25cm long. 
S330ohm resistor on data line fixes long cable problems
WThe current revision of these boards have this fixed
BSome helicopters (e.g. Airbus H145) have full-time stability augmentation/autpilot systems that connect to all three controls (cyclic, collective, and pedals), so the pedals are on actuators that lets Otto move the pedals as needed to maintain direction. E.g. in more recent builds of the Hype H145 for MSFS, you can actually see the pedals "snap" slightly as you lift off to the position that eliminates any yaw. (Now that I think about that, I guess maybe there is a reason to have FFB on the pedals after all, at least for some aircraft. Earlier, I posted a "why bother?" note about going to the trouble...)
RThis new update is excellent. Adapt centeting works well.
PI mean, you can trim pedals in Mi24 - so I'd like FFB pedals for that purpose too. At the moment I have the trim on pedals disabled because, well, I'd rather fly manual pedals all the time than have the horrible trim solutions in software... It's the same reason why I never bothered with force trim when I flew helicopters before I had the Rhino. I just flew the stick without trimming at all times. Worked fine, too.
TWorking with Dimitar, the main man at https://simfab.com/ to try and get an adaptor for his DCS Flight Sim Modular Cockpit product for the Rhino, along with my 200mm Virpil extension, which causes issues with the height of the grip relative to the chair (arse), and will let you know as and when I get a finished product and how well it goes, because he is a lot less expensive than Monstertech and only lives up the road from me in Boynton Beach, FL - 65 miles N of Miami.

MI'm very interested in this. I have a Sim Fab DCS edition and a VKB 200mm. Keep us updated.
TDo you like it?
B@hoe6445 Thanks 
I would be needing a long one too.

CHello good people, I am now 18 Rhino's away from my order. I am more of a novice at flight sims but ordered the Rhino last year as it looked fantastic for DCS Helicopters. My question:
CCan I use the rhino in a central position using a normal office chair with 5 caster wheeled legs?
CI don't have a sim pit, I don't have a fancy setup and I don't have the space for a dedicated sim pit frame. Can I use a normal office chair and a Monster.tech Long Mount? Will I need an S-bend extension with a virpil grip?
Csorry for my noob questions!
TI'm in a similar boat. You'll want something sturdy to mount it to and something that will keep you from pushing away from it with the chair. I think an S-bend is almost required, even with the virpil S-bend I wish my stick was a bit closer
TThis is my setup, for reference https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/972180323787997255/1111001606918508545

RHINO #0168 Has Shipped!C@thezoq2 your setup looks great. I could build that and save a lot of money on expensive mounts. What do you do for the throttle for collective?
TAn expensive mount 
TThe virpil desk mount specifically
CYeah, I was looking at monster tech
T
CBut a nice wooden home made solution would be great
CAh I see
TShouldn't be too hard to build I think. The virpil mount is nice because it is super easy to remove. So I can put the whole setup aside for normal use
CYeah sounds like a good solution
CI just need to get the room plastered, painted, new carpet, buy a desk, post for rhino, buy grip and build frame haha
CI’m going to have to buy the rhino now even though I’m not ready else I’ll be waiting years for another chance
TYep, kind of know the feeling there. I had the rhino for weeks but couldn't try it because I didn't have a grip
MI love it and would recommend it to anyone. It serves my purposes perfectly.
AI got somewhat interesting results with the new centering thing
Afelt like it was fighting me a bit at some point and even some slight oscillation
RAre you still using balance and static force
Ano
IFun video to prepare for the Heatblur F-4. Note especially the section at about 17:30 about stick behaviour in transitions between transonic and supersonic. Will be interesting to see if this is implemented! https://youtu.be/iZiduQboyow

Jmi-8 is multicrew now
JJust curious why you’d want that?
Scan someone explain experimental adaptive recentering for Spring.
Sand why it is needed (when to enable?)
Nit uses up to %12 of the spring force to "find home"
Swhy is it 'adaptive'? Doesnt spring force lready do this?
Nyes, but its currently a fixed force that doesn't account for heavy grips, offset extensions and additional effects like friction and dampening... watch the vid. If your stick is always perfectly centerd when you let go of it.. then you dont need to enable the feature
Sthank you. I fly mostly choppers so i wonder if this simulates a stronger magnetic clutch. Will have to try it.
NFor me, (as seen in the video).. I find that it just helps the stick always return to a perfect center..
TEssentially yes - I just used a floor protector like this - https://www.amazon.com/Hardwood-Computer-Low-Pile-Anti-Slip-Protector/dp/B0BHNMBGFR/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=office%2Bchair%2Bfloor%2Bguard&qid=1692216502&sr=8-6&th=1 and then 3m DUALLOCK to mount the base and rudder pedals thereto. However, I use a chair with no wheels, so locking wheels or similar wheel-less chair would be preferable. Nonetheless, will shortly be upgrading to the SimFab cockpit as even with a piles protector, my arse hurts on my current cheap chair, and everything will be much more rigidly mounted with the cockpit than the current setup involving the floor protector and various deskmounts for ancillaries.
