Agree, from past experience with race car suspension parts and building motion sims, I purposely steered clear of them for my stick and yoke FFB setups. They do allow a nice compact build though.

Yeah, I ended up paying about $20ea for the rod ends I'm using. They seem to be holding up for now, certainly much better than the cheaper options.

Harder to design without using at least one rod end though. Especially if you want it "compact" with these larger motors.

not sure I follow exactly the symptom you are describing. Can you elaborate? Does it only happen with adaptive centering enabled?
In general, for issues I have seen related to force trim in helicopters.. Make sure you do not have any curves in your axis settings in DCS and make sure your Rhino calibration is accurate in VPf configurator

For the pre-built Rhinos, how long is the lead from the power adapter to the base? What type of power connector is used?

My Rhino shipped today, and I'm trying to determine if I need to mount the power adapter on my motion rig, or if the power lead is long enough to be mounted on my rack below the rig.

Assuming the supplier hasn't changed since mine was shipped in May, the power supply lead is only about 3'. But it is a standard 5.5mx2.5mm DC plug. I am using a 6' extension with a 90 degree end (male side) on mine.

Quite a long way from the ol serial port joysticks.

And having to choose between not loading joystick drivers, sound drivers or the mouse driver..

Wasnt really that hard, if I had use of my joystick I didnt need the mouse so much.

SSeattime Agree, so installed mine under the sim floor..

Will3D•9/15/23, 3:24 AM

Yup, that was my intention as well. However I struggled to get the force I was wanting due to the longer extension. And then, as mentioned, it wasn't great as a heli cyclic. I'm rebuilding the base now, but I'll hopefully have something that is kinda half under the floor. Something of a compromise. Hopefully it doesn't end up looking like a dogs breakfast.

SeattimeOP•9/15/23, 4:54 AM

My servos are installed in the Yoke setup at the moment, but remember the stick being more then adequate torque wise, even with the long throw.. I still have my Warthog stick setup installed for modern jets, as they are FBW. When I have the cash will purchase more servos and refit out the stick housing for warbirds, old jets and helis.

dco0l•9/15/23, 3:11 PM

So I've printed pretty much everything I need except for the large pulleys. What print setting would you recommend for PLA? I was thinking about 4 perimeters and 40% infill so the inertial mass won't be too high. I was also thinking about locally increasing the center part's infill to 100% in order to reduce creep caused by the clamping force of the bolts.

Jehly•9/16/23, 12:46 AM

I personally went 4/40% on my pedals. Works great. Super strong

Aiva•9/17/23, 6:56 AM

Could anyone comment If any of these statements are relevant to Rhino?

"Winwing" we have already achieved torque closed-loop force feedback capabilities within our certified flight training devices—a technological marvel surpassing any prevailing 'open-loop' counterparts saturating today's market...
Currently available consumer-grade force feedback products and some ongoing demos suffer from issues such as excessive inertia, dead zones in the gearbox mechanism, and cogging effects (resulting in less smooth operation due to inherent magnetic pole switching of motors). While these products may offer features like responsiveness, vibration control, and dynamic forces, they simply cannot achieve precise manipulation. Moreover, they risk inducing erroneous muscle memory for pilots and lack practical applicability.

Troll 🇸🇪 🇳🇴•9/17/23, 8:30 AM

I’m guessing that by “open loop” he means regular mechanical spring force centering joysticks, as I don’t see any FFB solutions “saturating the market”. As for the rest, I expect he is blowing his own horn. But it’s great to see controller developers going forth with FFB solutions for personal use

Number481•9/17/23, 1:19 PM

Specifically related to the description of other FFB devices…

excessive inertia, dead zones in the gearbox mechanism, and cogging effects (resulting in less smooth operation due to inherent magnetic pole switching of motors).

The Rhino suffers from exactly zero of these.

Bob Bushman•9/17/23, 1:19 PM

I may be uninformed but so far the only 'publicly' prevailing ffb sticks ive known of are surviving sidewinders and Brünner.

smitty•9/17/23, 2:13 PM
