Finflation says no to Rhino

BOr maybe some people got tired of waiting and bought DIY kits instead
BBut it’s been happening for a while now anyway. I was originally supposed to be Rhino #504, but I ended up with #334 2 weeks ago. I’m not complaining, though. I got mine 6 months sooner than expected!
TFancy seeing you in here. Grats
BSome people just cannot resist injecting politics into a convo that has zero political content. Save that for other venues.

PDoes this look like a viable space on the dofreality h3 for a ffb pedal setup? (perhaps if the motor was placed in front of the pedals instead of behind them)?
NI can’t really tell how much room there is between the base and the floor. I think the issue you might have is that the front face of the motor needs to be more or less inline with the top arm of the pedals (for the main pulley to align with the output shaft). Certainly there isn’t room behind (towards the pilot). I think even the shorter 03 motor I used would be too tall.
PThe base moves quite low because of the rig's motion, so maybe this is a non-starter.
PThe clearance at the lowest point of motion
Nkeeping in mind that the only "accurate" part of my 3d model of the pedals is the mounting holes of the top arm.. It might fit behind (towards you) if you made the plate where the main pulley attaches a little thicker... but You'd definitely want to do some measuring.
Here's a side vew of my 3d design... with all the extrusion removed you can see the motor and the pedal base (minus leg arms)

PThat's what I was thinking -- motor between my feet and in front of the pedals.
Nthe full step file of my design is published in the github repo.. you can grab that and play around with the placement of the motor (and verify the geometry of the rest of the pedal base model
PMain problem is I don't have a 3d printer. Probably shops out there that would print it for me though. More future-planning right now with the assumption that one day in the not-too-distant future there will be pre-built vpforce kits for this. Or maybe because of my specific needs that wouldn't be viable and would need some creativity to get built for this.
NI mean... that sounds like a perfect reason to get a printer to me 
.. they are amazing tools
.. they are amazing toolsPHow heavy would you say your mod is? Around the same weight as the Rhino?
PYep. I've just spent a pretty huge amount of money on sim gear over the last 12 months. Trying to recover first 
P
PIn my mind that pedal plate would be the perfect home for a ffb motor, would keep my Rhino company
NHmm…the extrusion and various hardware isn’t very heavy. The motor is a boat anchor though.
NIt would definitely have some inertia flinging around out in the front of your rig.
PThank you for the all the info. Might fool around with the STL and measure things out.
PWhere did you get that nice gray toggle cap that you put on a switch on the Virpil control panel? Something like this is very good when using VR.

PNice! Thx for sharing. I will definitely order it there. I've searched around a lot but haven't found anything like this yet.
PDo you use cougar mfds?
PIf so, these are also fantastic (I have 3 sets). Can't imagine using MFD in VR without them

PYes, but I'm currently using WinWing's.
PNice!
PAh gotcha. Not sure it's as easy to add tactiles to those. The cougar mfds are fairly easy to take apart.
PThe shapes he used might give you some ideas for putting some ridges on your buttons if you have any issues with them in VR
PI glued rubber buffers to every second switch on my MFD‘s. This works quite well for me too.
MHuh.. I've got a pair that sit unused for this reason.. might pick some of those up and dust them off now
ANice setup. What Seat are you using?
Sjust thought about this: could u program the rhino to act similar to a cars gear shift?
