So...I am really enjoying my Rhino, but now that the Aim-120 isn't totally stupid anymore, I find myself flying the F-16C more than any other plane. I feel a bit stupid

audaxOP•12/30/23, 11:29 PM

Is there already a PoC in a branch somewhere for force sensing?

audaxOP•12/30/23, 11:31 PM

Full power friction and spring mode while measuring the force required to hold the stick should be all that's needed, shouldn't it?

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:22 AM

it was explained before around a year ago (as in my paraphrasing may be widely inaccurate) but essentially the motors aren't designed for that kind of behavior and long term use could damage them

audaxOP•12/31/23, 12:31 AM

Well okay, then I'll close that chapter. Thanks for the info

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:32 AM

i also recall that even if it was set up in such a way to achieve a similar effect, it wouldn't feel as good nor be as capable as actual force sensing

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:33 AM

it wouldn't be 'smooth' if that makes sense

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:34 AM

I'm sure someone who knows more than I can correct me where needed and/or provide a better explanation

audaxOP•12/31/23, 12:35 AM

I guess I'll just have to build a decent profile for the F-16 with very stiff springs and a lot more resistance near the axis limits so that it feels more natural to me.

audaxOP•12/31/23, 12:35 AM

Is there a repository for TelemFFB aircraft profiles?

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:36 AM

possibly in the knowledge base threads

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:36 AM

'rhino profile sharing'

Jon (Bounty_V)•12/31/23, 12:38 AM

or the telemffb thread

audaxOP•12/31/23, 12:48 AM

Ah, the thread has exactly what I was looking for!

Happy new year.

It seems i spent it with a first flight on my rhino

Hi! Has anyone made a config for the F-15E Strike Eagle in DCS yet? If so, could you please share? Thanks!

Dddrake1984 Yeah, wasnt too bad

PiNKSH!T•1/2/24, 1:26 AM

hey m8 have you had some time with the HF8 yet? Just wondering how it feels?

Its good, worth it over the buttkicker, I scratched that off my shopping list

yeah sweet, going to bite the bullet on it, jbhifi have none in stock so going to order somewhere else with similar price

ddrake1984•1/2/24, 1:28 AM

Oh shit?! Maybe I took last one

ddrake1984•1/2/24, 1:28 AM

You cant buy online?

Dddrake1984 You cant buy online?

PiNKSH!T•1/2/24, 1:42 AM

yeah but they have no idea when in stock again, just going to order somewhere else for close to the same price

If your near canberra, your welcome to try before you buy

Jehly•1/2/24, 2:27 AM

I have one as well, I really enjoy it.

Jehly•1/2/24, 2:27 AM

Also, it can massage your booty if you ask it nicely.

Will3D•1/2/24, 6:00 AM

LOL, know the feeling. I don't worry and just fly it with normal force feedback. It's centrally mounted also, so really nothing authentic about any of it!

WWill3D LOL, know the feeling. I don't worry and just fly it with normal force feedback....

audaxOP•1/2/24, 9:11 AM

Yup, screw authentic. I need to tune the spring forces and maybe add g dependant forces to make it feel more natural.

JJon (Bounty_V)I'll have to add the HF8 to my wishlist

Str][ker•1/2/24, 12:17 PM

I tried the HF8 when it was released and I didn’t care for it. I found it to be uncomfortable to sit on but I also own the Jetpad from Andre and that one is very comfortable to sit on. The Jetpad is still obtainable but you need to reach out to them via Andre’s website (contact us type link). I wound up returning the HF8 and plan to get a second Jetpad as a spare. The HF8 was also pretty weak with the vibrations when I tried it.(like very weak) and I had everything maxed for settings etc. Maybe they improved that part since release in some way. I had hoped that it would be an equal to the Jetpad so people could have a choice in terms of what to buy but at least for me, it wasn’t very good at the time.

ddrake1984•1/2/24, 12:43 PM

I never owned the jetpad, but the hf8 is comfortable and the Rumble can be strong, I turned mine down to 20%

HPLsCat•1/2/24, 1:10 PM

The HF8 in a warbird will shake your teeth loose. I wouldn't classify it as weak.

Bob Bushman•1/2/24, 1:13 PM

From what ive gathered there has been a fair bitnof advancement on the software and or simshaker integration with hf8 since initial release.

Bob Bushman•1/2/24, 1:55 PM

Havent tried the hf8 or sim transducers (yet) but I did have some cheap ones on a recliner for home theater setup.

Was barely a 50watt amp and around the 50% mark it could make the recliner rattle around the floor like an old nokia on a glass table.

While I was in it..
Pointless but fun.
It also broke my recliner beyond help in less than a year

Duchess ✈•1/2/24, 2:44 PM

I have a Sony amp hooked up to a transducer puck on my metal rig, works great. My puck setup does not work all that great on my wood rig, a seat based setup would probably work better.

Duchess ✈•1/2/24, 2:44 PM

Yay! My Rhino 325 has shipped!

Bob Bushman•1/2/24, 2:56 PM

Barely had time to use mine but, it is almost mind blowing.

Not so much for the effects etc but it completely change how one consider trimming.

HPLsCat•1/2/24, 2:58 PM

Helo game changer

Duchess ✈•1/2/24, 3:02 PM

I am truly excited to use it with the F-15E and Apache. Plus whenever the F-4E gets released.

Fierce_Fire•1/2/24, 3:02 PM

helos are just amazing with it

Bob Bushman•1/2/24, 3:03 PM

I still suck in the apache but that's all me.

Fierce_Fire•1/2/24, 3:04 PM

small movements my friend, i literally just give it little nudges that barely move my stick

Bob Bushman•1/2/24, 3:13 PM

That's not the issue, I turn already by leaning my head not by moving the stick.

Torque pedals are just nervous and main torque has a tendency to vanish in some cases and suddenly the pull that was to much just drops me out like someones mom jumped on the back of it.

Bob Bushman•1/2/24, 3:14 PM

Excuse to build an ffb collective?

HPLsCat•1/2/24, 3:27 PM

DCS Apaché has a nasty tendency to settle with power if you don't keep a keen eye on that vertical velocity
