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.

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?

recoilfxOP•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?

recoilfxOP•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

PPiNKSH!T ie. the green & black cover on the seat

Yes the cushion cover is velcroed it comes right off.

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...

recoilfxOP•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

recoilfxOP•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

recoilfxOP•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

recoilfxOP•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?

recoilfxOP•1/16/24, 4:44 PM

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

recoilfxOP•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?

recoilfxOP•1/16/24, 4:47 PM

it will recline up to 122 degrees

PPiNKSH!T did you diy that f16 throttle grip & base?

recoilfxOP•1/16/24, 4:47 PM

yep

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:48 PM

very nice, did you do any type of "lifting the grip" detent system

recoilfxOP•1/16/24, 4:49 PM

yeah, it has the lift the grip syste, it's reversed, underneath the grip instead.

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:49 PM

far out m8 that really cool, good job

recoilfxOP•1/16/24, 4:50 PM

recoilfxOP•1/16/24, 4:51 PM

Actually you can recline it flat. lol

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:52 PM

ok going to get a small mattress made for it now

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:52 PM

I can just sleep at my pit

PiNKSH!T•1/16/24, 4:54 PM

cheers for all the help m8, I'm off to bed

recoilfxOP•1/16/24, 4:56 PM

No problem! Good night!

Is there a way to invert the trim hat when using DCS? I had to invert the installation of the box… the X and Y axis work just fine. The trim hat works, however it seems to trim in the opposite direction. When I trim nose up, the stick trims down and vice versa.

Asdforce•1/17/24, 6:05 AM

IIRC there is a FFB tune menu in DCS controls/axes screen. Try inverting the FFB there.

Duchess ✈•1/17/24, 6:14 AM

Tried that…. Did not seem to help the trim.

Here you go. Looks like it's around 140mm thick. Also, notice the steel seat pan also has a cut out
