as far as I can tell the rhino is in a league of its own, the abovementioned adjustments give you the possibility to set it up pretty much to your liking

Dry clutches have a lot of stiction issues

amadeus•9/27/23, 1:14 AM

Nyogel can help, but it’ll never fully fix it

amadeus•9/27/23, 1:14 AM

Just a physical limitation

amadeus•9/27/23, 1:15 AM

Need a wet clutch or a rhino

smitty•9/27/23, 1:15 AM

i built my old stick gimbal using teflon sheets under a spring, had very little stiction. but rhino is sooo much better

AndyHillOP•9/27/23, 1:20 AM

My problem is that I'm extremely allergic to sticktion but I want dampening

AndyHillOP•9/27/23, 1:20 AM

Well that was a problem

AndyHillOP•9/27/23, 1:22 AM

there's not much opportunity for sticktion to happen when the motors start applying dampening only after they sense movement

Hi I'm new here. Im trying to save for a F-16 setup and was wondering how much this cost?

So Meta Connect is in 13.5 hours, we'll likely see final details about Meta Quest 3 and release date.

Meanwhile Valve has been busy with SteamVR stuff and rolled out 2.0 beta very recently. Exciting stuff happening in VR that could help improve flight sim

Boggy•9/27/23, 7:18 AM

Not true , despite having hydraulic controls most (if not all?) hydraulicly powered aircraft will have an artificial feel unit installed (Q-Feel) to mimic aerodynamic forces increasing on the stick as the speed increases.

Boggy•9/27/23, 7:21 AM

It's to prevent over stressing the airframe

MichalK•9/27/23, 8:22 AM

Nope. Most of them really don't adjust forces on the stick as the aircraft goes faster. Q-Feel is a name of the system installed in the Harrier that does that, but only in the elevator channel. Something similar is also installed in the F-4 elevator control system. But other aircraft, like F-14, F-15, F-18, A-10, F-86 etc. don't do that.

MichalK•9/27/23, 8:23 AM

They only have a centering force (cam & springs), that usually moves with the trim.

MichalK•9/27/23, 8:29 AM

Bobweights are common and they increase the force on the stick with G-loads. Personally I don't like this effect in the sim, as it can't be properly felt if you don't experience gforces yourself. Others like it, it can be tweaked in TelemFFB to your taste

MichalK•9/27/23, 8:32 AM

Interestingly, IL-2 also simulates bobweights in the Spitfire Mk V and Nieuport 17, which as I understand is true to real life.

Bob Bushman•9/27/23, 10:24 AM

If specifically looking for an f16 it is the one aircraft this can't simulate better than anything else.
Since its using a force cm sending system with very little movement.
For that, specifically, I'd look into the realsimulator.com force sensing gimbal and grips.
But it's at least a 1k euro for the gimbal and grip.

Maverick34•9/27/23, 12:11 PM

Okay thank you. Im looking to get a VR headset and a good hotas so I might go for the Winwing Orion 2 or something

Bob Bushman•9/27/23, 12:14 PM

Winwing also have a slightly less expensive force sensing base as well, but it handles it selves a little bit different than the realsim setup, granted almost half the price.

I own the winwing orion 2 and f16 throttle myself and find that great value for the viper.

Maverick34•9/27/23, 4:20 PM

It's still not cheap haha

Maverick34•9/27/23, 4:21 PM

Might be saving for awhile

Eraseri•9/27/23, 5:30 PM

Hi, I tried to check from FAQ but didn't have an answer. So my question is related to production amount/capacity. As we see from previous shipped Rhino the median waiting time is 218. With the current rate of Rhinos produced during little over month or so my estimated waiting time is little over one year. So the question is, are there any plans put in place to increase the production?

Maverick34•9/27/23, 5:31 PM

If I'm looking for budget should I do the X56 as is cheap and I'm going to use mainly VR?

Bob Bushman•9/27/23, 5:49 PM

This is not a general HOTAS discord, it is solely for the VPRhino and DIY projects around the kits etc.
Other discussion servers will likely help you better.

Fr4Ged•9/27/23, 6:23 PM

better ask in a discord that is dedicated to the game you are planning to play in VR. like DCS discord etc.
they usually can recommend stuff.

Bob Bushman•9/27/23, 8:58 PM

Yeah us right here tend to be further down the rabbit hole. To a point where we heard of 1000€ force feedback flightstick gimbal and we go "that's so cheap, take my money. Now I'll be sitting on my porch for 18 months before it arrives"..

FlatSpin•9/27/23, 9:29 PM

Eraseri•9/28/23, 10:35 AM

My guess is that queue is already very long. I doubt that hiring someone would increase the price on its own. More users of the stick translates to more orders if/when the product is performing well. Less queue-time also leads to more orders. More orders translates to bigger purchases of components -> lower component prices.

Mustang 1-1•9/28/23, 12:47 PM

Guys I have two things. So I just got my rhino and I am now testing it out as you would. Let me say after using a cls-e brunner with a long extension and metal joystick, it really sucks. Bro compared to that the rhino takes some muscle to pull it out of trim or if under g load! And for prepar3d. I am convinced p3d ffb works better than dcs ffb. I had to tick an option and what effects I wanted in the sim and dude it is implemented better than dcs. I haven’t tried xplane. But yeah this thing is crazy man.

Mustang 1-1•9/28/23, 12:48 PM

And I have a certain aircraft where it’s also coded in the .cfg file so the effects are true-life

Mustang 1-1•9/28/23, 12:48 PM

As this works, I am sure xplane will too.
