I also moved up in the queue, about the same amount from 359 to 264 with a new serial #. Do you think the AeroFusion Joystick (look up video on YT with same name to see it) FFB that had a pre-order price of £350.00 (back in September) had something to do with it? Though the ebay listing only shows 1 item sold; but maybe more were. Can't find much else about it. It looks like about 25-30 are made each month. However it used to be about 20 were made a month, so the pace has picked up over time for sure.

Does anyone have any documents with stick forces for the p-47?

Magpie•12/22/23, 10:14 AM

Is there a reference for stick forces of dcs planes at all?

I actually think the Aerofusion is great, its awesome to see some low cost FFB flight stick options, i think we are witnessing the dawn of proper FFB in flight simulation. But theres no doubt that the Rhino looks, and clearly is, a much better unit. Hence the price difference

For someone who does not have pedals yet, what would be the best choice between the Crosswind and Virpil Ace pedals to install an FFB kit?

Reaktionslos•12/22/23, 12:15 PM

I would like to place the Rhino on the right side of my chair (floor placement). What do you guys think?
Is it still comfortable to steer?

I have added a damper kit and that was all the update I needed.

18 and 16 has some numbers in the manual. also some details are available in some NASA flight testing doc

Bob Bushman•12/22/23, 1:29 PM

The 16 is as disconnected as it can get as it relies on force sensing and not positon.

true, unless one day Mr.Walmis can perform his black magic again and add force sensing mode to VPForce

Bob Bushman•12/22/23, 1:41 PM

Would be nice, but unfortunately a force sensing gimbal would be the only thing the rhino can't do.

Guess I still need to get a realsim..

actually Walmis once said it's technically possible..and the aforementioned AeroFusion is planning to implement it on their advanced bases, tho not sure how good it will be

It's very hard to install ffb on my crosswinds, I can't see kits anywhere

Bob Bushman•12/22/23, 3:33 PM

Cause they are diy. You take one of the rhino motor kits and "figure it out"

walmis•12/22/23, 3:40 PM

I'll provide kits with the necessary stuff to mount the FFB kit on the MFG. Only 4 holes are needed to drill into the MFG base using a template

Monkee•12/22/23, 6:17 PM

Maybe you could get in contact with Milan to have him integrate the needed holes in the product from scratch?
He seems to be pretty open to modifications on his pedals, the V3 pedals having been modified to fix things based on the feedback he got from his clients.

Ppapiplanes Is it trim force you are feeling?

Udo•12/22/23, 7:57 PM

I don't know what it is. It moves the stick to end forward position and then you have to fight it. When you move the stick back you have to fight with it and when move past center that force decreases. I don't think the real stick behaves this way, it is dangerous.

Yeah, a couple folks have done it, but iirc, no one has posted schematics. The design of the crosswinds themselves lends nicely to conversion to FFB using a single motor

I used to have MFG pedals but I changed to the Virpil VPC ones because I find them better for helicopters and they fit on my DOF H6 motion platform better. I actual have both types of VPC pedals, the ones with toe brakes and also the simpler ones without.

The absolute worst case, you grab a piece of plywood and drill some holes to fit both your chosen pedals and your mount
