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

Fhelos are just amazing with it
BI still suck in the apache but that's all me.
Fsmall movements my friend, i literally just give it little nudges that barely move my stick
BThat'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.

BExcuse to build an ffb collective?
HDCS Apaché has a nasty tendency to settle with power if you don't keep a keen eye on that vertical velocity
RHey, i'm new here and i was just wondering about how long it usullay is between getting on the waitlist and actually paying for the base?

64 is amazing with a Rhino. I learnt to hover it perfectly during the holidays. Before, I could barely land the thing bottom down. The manual p. 94 helped a lot too.LF-4E 
SHow does the Rhino work with the F-5E aileron deflection limiter?

HI have the same chair, and I made a custom wood base and mounted it to the lower cross bar. Then remove the middle cross bar and center mount.
BI just banged pieces together, so even more jank than anyone's I guess.
But got the height perfect.
But got the height perfect.
PCan I mount a VKB or WinWing adapter at the end of a VPC extension from Virpil?
BI would imagine so.
Fvkb adapter works
FI have a virpil piece and it fits just fine (I dont use it anymore cause I made my own extension, bye 50 bucks;_;)
P@tortorden and @fierce_fire - thx for the info
PRegarding rotary pedal trim discussions -- would it be safe to assume the Ka-50's pedals irl don't auto-center, but simply stay in the position you leave them?
PHere is what ChatGPT just told me.
Me: "Does the ka-50 have pedal trim?"
ChatGPT: "The Kamov Ka-50 Hokum does not have traditional pedals like conventional helicopters. Instead, it uses a co-axial rotor system, and its yaw control is achieved through differential collective pitch control of the coaxial rotors. Therefore, there is no need for pedal trim adjustments in the Ka-50."
Me: "Do the pedals in it return to center or stay where the pilot leaves them?"
ChatGPT: "The Kamov Ka-50 Hokum's pedals do not return to center automatically. The pilot needs to actively control and manage the pedal input to maintain the desired yaw position. The co-axial rotor system in the Ka-50 allows for precise yaw control through differential collective pitch adjustments, and the pedals will stay in the position where the pilot leaves them until adjusted again."

PLooks like I'm getting the new Virpil pedal dampener kit.
HYes, in heli's remove springs and use a damper
BI would, the dampener mod for the mfg crosswinds helped feel across the board for me, including jets.
PThanks guys. Only thing I need to research is how quickly it can be adjusted if I want to switch between rotary and fixed.
OAsk it for a source. Then google the source it claims to check whether it’s making shit up to impress you.
PIt doesn't cite sources, even if you ask. It gave me as good of any answer as any source I've found so far. I don't consider it some divine source of truth and I'm very open to counter-info. But I haven't found anything that contradicts it yet, even from a few people who only offered to tell me that AI sucks (very helpful).
P
O"general knowledge" without mentioning specific sources that corroborate what it has said tend to be things that it is predicting rather than things that have actual information out there.
PLet me know if you have a better answer. Otherwise I think I'm all set.
Vonly info I've seen on this was an ED employee way back implying that it does, and possibly sorta like the Hind

PHi Volk! Thank you -- going to reply to you on the ED discord helo channel so we don't put this channel too far off track.
SHi I'm new here! I am making a simpit for the Swedish jet plane JAS 39 C Gripen. My flight stick, which will be both force fedbak moving and static, connected to an arduino pro micro for the buttons and N measurement using 2 strain gauge sensors, 2 HX711 and 2 potentiometers or 2 hall sensors to get the angle of the stick, can you get values in and out with the USB FFB controller board
?
My goal is to simulate a real flight stick from the JAS 39 C Gripen with these values:
The roll force increases 0.5Nm/° up to 7.8° left and right.
The pitch force increase 0.52Nm/° up to positive 11° and negative-7°.
Soft stop in pitch 11° and to hard stop increasing 0.8Nm/° to 15°.

JYou will enjoy a damper kit for both fixed wing and rotary flying. It adds more precision even with the springs attached.
PIs there any current optimism about a workable ffb solution in the nearish future (or future in general)? My understanding is that the DCS telemetry is underwhelming for supporting it, but if it did work it would allow us to dynamically switch between rotary and fixed like we do with the Rhino
PI see Number481 recently was discussing this above
PWill read further when I can
PNvm, decided to just go ahead and read the above discussion immediately. 
I don't have the DIY skills to pull of his (awesome looking) mod. Also, it looks like the control box sits pretty low on the unit, but my Virpil ACE has its legs removed and is mounted directly to my DOFR H3 so it would need to be a bit different for my config.
I'll probably just buy the Virpil dampener for now and hold out hope for the possibly far future combo of ED improving their ffb pedal support, Number working his magic and cracking the challenge of AP trim support, and Walmis making a prefab unit for purchase.

POne mod I've been thinking would be cool would be a collective brake attachment for the Virpil collective. I currently use the press-down of the Shkval zoom button to serve that function. Would be cool to have the more authentic style/function/feel.
POf course it is always a balance between "would be cool" and "what problems would I be introducing into my life by adding it into my currently working setup?" 
JThis may be a dumb question but I can't find the answer after searching a bit: Is the Rhino intended to be kept plugged in to AC power all the time, even when not in use? Is it "always on" when plugged into AC power and connected to the computer? And if so, how much power does it draw while at rest?
FIf it's not in use you can unplug it if you want
