Star citizen currently has no telemetry output, so the Rhino will not have any FFB but you can still use it like a spring joystick. The electronics serve as an alternative to high end bases for adjustability in the feel for damping, cams, friction, etc.
Hey there, merry Xmas to you all! Anyone here (preferably DE/EU) fancy to jump the line on a brand new and unused rhino base + mounting plate? Due to unforeseen circumstances I won't be able to use it any time soon, but it's already in transit (since thursday, so I expect it'll probably arrive sometime next week). If you're interested, just pm me...
I'm already on it to order a VPC ACE. Before I press the trigger, what effects are supported by the Sims for Rudder Pedals? However, force trim in DCS would be enough for me.
Nicely put "Not even in the same league".... I've been using my sidewinder FF for many years now and it used to be really good, but despite having the paid versions of xpForce for FS2020 and XPlane, I've never been able to get it to work with either, it just jerks forward in one second pulses. I tried emailing the author, but never got any replies. The Rhino however, blew my socks off when I first used it ! No comparison really. It just feels like a real plane, pulling back on the elevators while sitting on the runway, and feeling the effort reduce as you reve the engine and increase the airflow over them.
The Apache is the first module where the "Rudder trimmer" option is more then a checkbox in special options. I wondered if the Rudder in the real chopper is also trimmed to a new center position when using the Force Trim Release button?
Very few helicopters do. Unfortunately in DCS the βFFBβ settings for the pedal trimmers does not behave properly when enabled. Why they even have the setting, IDK since DCS doesnβt even support FFB pedals. Butβ¦if it behaved properly, it might be possible to emulate moving pedals with autopilot.
Thanks! Good to know. A force trim function that workes properly in DCS with a helicopter would have been the most important reason to invest the money and work in a rudder mod for me. You saved me money and time!
the reality of it is though, that once the pedals automatically switch between spring and no-spring mode.. you don't really need force trim for the pedals. No, the pedals won't move with autopilot, and no, they won't move with pedal trim input, but they stay where you put them.
Jump into a FW aircraft though, and they are back to having springs..
But if you only fly helos and have a damper mod on your pedals.. you won't gain much today by moving to FFB pedals (even though the dampening is superior to a motorcycle sterring damper)
The main pulley, the gear arm / gear mounting plate and, as you have already described, the throw limiter are probably the elements from 3D printing with the highest load. What material, process and filling level did you use to have this made?
Currently using a gen3 openwheeler setup. Only have flight atm, but considering breaking in to racing in 2024. Their rigs can be set up to (relatively) quick swap between multiple setups
