I have the Brunner stick base, just ordered a DIY kit because I want to play with the different DirectX systems. I love flying the F15E but find the autopilot in the SE doesn't jive well with FFB. The center is too mushy and effects what the autopilot does. Works well when the terrain following radar is coupled though. How does the Rhino fair with the F15E?

anyone got this seat & use it with the Rhino? how did you go with the seat thickness? did the Rhino floor mount ok still?

recoilfx•1/16/24, 1:40 PM

You will have to the Rhino below the seat. The cut out in the seat is not wide enough.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 2:00 PM

have you got this one? how thick is that part of the seat?

recoilfx•1/16/24, 2:09 PM

I have the Boeing edition, which is the same as this seat, except color and branding. By thickness, do you mean the height of the seat cushion?

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 2:11 PM

yeah, how thick is the seat coushion where the cutout is, if not too much trouble how big is the cut out too?

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 2:11 PM

cheers for you're help

recoilfx•1/16/24, 2:14 PM

I'll let you know the exact dimensions once I get back to my office. I won't be able to get you the original cut out width, as I already cut mine. But from what I remember, it was relatively easy as long as you have a long serrated knife (or even better, one of those hot foam cutter). The cushion cover is velcroed, so the foam is easy to access.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 2:15 PM

oh that's good the foam is easy to get too, I'll take it too "Clark foam & rubber" if I have too, oooh I could get the whole foam thing cut right down, then have room for the HF8 with a gel type foam over top????

recoilfx•1/16/24, 2:17 PM

Yep, you can definitely do that - in fact, I am planning to do that if/when I get the HF8.

likely tomorrow I'm going to order the; TR160, NLR Flight seat & the NLR HF8. I saved for the 4080, but thethere were no sales at end of year plus 4080 super is coming out in a few weeks now & I wana see the real price here in Aus, I mean I can run my games/sims atm fine, I have shit/ no real mounts through, so going to get this stuff instead & re save for either the 4080 super, or 4090. Cheers for your help m8

With all the improvements to teleFFB there hasn’t been a firmware update that I’ve missed is there? I went to the website and just confirmed I’ve got the latest from where it looks like September was the last update.

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:22 PM

Here you go. Looks like it's around 140mm thick. Also, notice the steel seat pan also has a cut out - depending on how you are mounting your rhino, you may need to cut/grind a bigger opening.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:25 PM

cheers m8, thanks for those pics, one last thing, how far back is that metal plate from the seat edge, is it the same size as the foam cut out or in it a bit bigger? Thanks again m8

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:26 PM

oh sorry, I see the last pic is the bottom of the seat, the metal part you were refering too, cheers

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:26 PM

it's covered by material is it?

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:27 PM

what sort of extension do you use?

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:27 PM

You mean the seat pan? Yes, it's covered with that black fabric. That's glued in, so it's a little anoying if you are drilling through it (drill bits will bind and may even break).

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:29 PM

ahh ok, can hopefully cut the material & use glue to stop it threading apart, or if it's the right type of material can burn a small hole for drill

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:30 PM

hopefully I can undo the black material from the seat pan, cut the cut out a bit bigger then re-glue the fabric in place

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:30 PM

& did I understand correct that the seat cushion cover comes off?

PPiNKSH!T what sort of extension do you use?

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:30 PM

I built my own gimbal. The extension is just enough so that the grip clears my thighs.

PPiNKSH!T & did I understand correct that the seat cushion cover comes off?

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:31 PM

ie. the green & black cover on the seat

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:32 PM

oh you cut it out so the whole rhino base fits in? ok, my rhino will still be 'floor' mounted & only the extension coming up to the cut out

Rrecoilfx Yes the cushion cover is velcroed it comes right off.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:33 PM

I see the velcro on the seat pan material for the seat cushion, but sorry to ask again just to be sure the actual cover material on the seat cushion itself, does that come off to reveal the foam underneath? sry to ask again just wana be clear

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:33 PM

likely ordering things tomorow morning

PPiNKSH!T oh you cut it out so the whole rhino base fits in? ok, my rhino will still be 'f...

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:34 PM

Here is how it’s mounted. My gimbals size is smaller than the rhino and the way I had it mounted I didn’t have to cut the steel seat pan, just the cushion. YMMV

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:35 PM

Yep it’s right off.

Rrecoilfx Yep it’s right off.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:36 PM

perfect thanks m8

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:36 PM

almost like it was made for us do cut it larger

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:37 PM

they should of made the cut out in the seat pan over sized for that reason too

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:37 PM

ok I think I've got the best idea about that seat I'll get without it here, cheer for all the help m8

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:38 PM

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:38 PM

planing on getting that pit; TR160, the green marking was me trying to show my m8 how I'll make an adjustable Rhino mount

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:40 PM

on the inside walls put some 160x40 profile mounted vertically then between them a 160x40 'laying flat', that should give adjustments in both directions horizontal & vertical

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:40 PM

that pit, plus the nlr seat & hf8

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:41 PM

I need to talk to pagani tomorrow & ask about the specs for the seat mounts

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:41 PM

Yeah, if you don't have any hang ups on modding it as soon as you get it, it's really not a difficult task as long as you have some basic tools

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:42 PM

I'd say it'd be different to how your's does as it's the standalone version

Rrecoilfx Yeah, if you don't have any hang ups on modding it as soon as you get it, it's r...

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:43 PM

really considering taking the foam base to a foam & rubber shop & getting it cut for the hf8 & a gel/mem foam topper, I don't have any meat on my arse lol

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:44 PM

haha it's really not that difficult. I got a turkey cutter knife, and it went through the foam quite easily.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:44 PM

how far back does it recline? enough for laying back a bit?

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:44 PM

It reclines quite a bit, you don't have ot worry about that.

recoilfx•1/16/24, 4:44 PM

or do you mean slide back? it slides about 5-6 inches

Rrecoilfx haha it's really not that difficult. I got a turkey cutter knife, and it went th...

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:45 PM

oh yeah, just to make the cut out bigger I'll diy with a big bread knife, but I may go as far as the mem foam/hf8 cut out mod, I have heard ppl say the jetseat/hf8 can get a bit sore after a while

Rrecoilfx It reclines quite a bit, you don't have ot worry about that.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:46 PM

yeah I meant how far will it recline back, gotta be able to lay back after a flight & watch YT lol

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:47 PM

did you diy that f16 throttle grip & base?

I have the Brunner stick base, just ordered a DIY kit because I want to play with the different Dire
