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.

Wwalmis Next firmware will address this

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.

Will3D•9/15/23, 3:25 AM

If I was building a cockpit dedicated to one aircraft it would be soooo much easier!

Seattime•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

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

Oh, yeah bought the combat and take off panels a while back and an orion2 and f16 throttle grip earlier this summer.
And the mfd frames are tempting me a little..

AndyHill•9/17/23, 2:41 PM

I wonder if those combat panels are still going to be available

Bob Bushman•9/17/23, 2:42 PM

No idea, ww so far has a history of just not restocking all while claiming it will be back soon, until they just let slip they stopped making it six months ago.

Bob Bushman•9/17/23, 2:44 PM

If I was to consider a new gimbal it would be a firce sensing one.

For 'regular' I'll judt wait for my rhino number to ping.

Anyone know how to re-load the firmware?

AAndyHill I wonder if those combat panels are still going to be available

PiNKSH!T•9/18/23, 3:18 PM

No the old ones are no longer for sale the new take off panel is out soon or maybe now, a new combat panel is coming, but they messed up & didn't separate the panels into left & right, like last time the wing fold is on the same panel as the parking brake etc. so not able to have things on the correct side, imho this was a mistake & a massive oversight I'm sure they would of seen the feedback about making the panels have the correct things together for a left & right set up, the new takeoff panel does look really good though.

𝔐𝔬𝔯𝔭𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔢 💀•9/18/23, 4:29 PM

I recently removed my WinWing F-16 grip to try some other extensions. mounting location, etc. Putting it back on, the Rhino no longer recognizes the button pushes even connected directly with the WW adapter. It still recognizes the button pushes from my Vipril Alpha grip so I don't think the problem resides in the Rhino. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to test the WW Grip and Adapter without owning a WW Base? I also just updated to v1.0.15 but since the Virpil works, I don't think that is the problem. TIA

walmis•9/18/23, 5:52 PM

Can you set the grip type to

Debug

Debug

and check the output. If it's all FFs then it doesn't detect the adapter, otherwise the adapter does not detect the grip.

Agreed, I think they were just going for “add all the things” on a single panel, not trying to do replica.. I think only the taurus panel is close (but even then its not exact)
