MFGs are in progress, but there is a bit of shortage for the largest 86BLF04 motors until March. Will be able to ship ones with 86BLF03's sooner though.

Sounds good! Had been a minute and was wondering how things were going

Also something like this would be a good post for an #announcements channel

AndyHill•1/28/24, 4:01 PM

which motors do I want

Red Magic•1/28/24, 4:10 PM

For pedals, I'd think the big 04

Red Magic•1/28/24, 4:12 PM

Was curious and tried to look around online for the 86BLFs but to no avail. Found the 57 though
Edit: found the 86s too

AndyHill•1/28/24, 4:20 PM

bigger is obviously better, but then again patience isn't a thing that actually exists

Number481•1/28/24, 4:24 PM

You can always turn down power if you don’t need it. So in that regard, the 04 would be more versatile. But with my Virpils with 6:1 on an 03 motor I’ve never been in want of more force.

That is not the one he sent me lol. There's a 3rd one of us modifying simfab gear to fit Rhinos lol

MashedPotato•1/29/24, 8:01 PM

That looks like how I have mine setup

Carlos NO2•1/29/24, 8:02 PM

Oh yea I heard some dude had a huge extension

MashedPotato•1/29/24, 8:02 PM

Yes, that's the crazy one

Carlos NO2•1/29/24, 8:02 PM

Wait are you talking about the helicopter guy who inset the whole rhino in the floor?

MashedPotato•1/29/24, 8:02 PM

I just added sim racing to my kit, so I have a crossbar now. If you saw the pics, I wanna get a 2nd crossbar to mount my mfds and UFCs on, then swap crossbars for racing and flying

MashedPotato•1/29/24, 8:04 PM

No, D custom fabbed out a Gen3 chassis for a dude that has the rhino resting basically on the floor, and has rudders mounted basically the reverse of normal, with crossbar supports going way out front and then linking in front, and the rudders mounting from the front

Carlos NO2•1/29/24, 8:04 PM

That’s in my future too prob. My CsL DD and TLCMs aren’t here. I’d have to ship those over too

MashedPotato•1/29/24, 8:05 PM

Looking at your pics, you'd have to shuffle a few things around, but he would send you most of the same stuff he sent me

Hey guys! I have the A style puma pro flight trainer grip and there’s a stuck button and the hat switches won’t work, might it be because the A style grip is so new or does that not matter? If so is there any way I can help since I’ve got one of these grips?

Anybody got a recommendation for an extension for a VKB Gunfighter grip? I bought a 50mm warthog extension, and it fits fine, but now the grip spins freely.
Looking for a 50mm and VKB doesn't sell one.

If I can ask, what is the part number and price of that Simfab Rhino mounting solution? I'm doing a DIY build, and need to come up with a mount for my Simfab rig.

That was a custom build. The plate used was their "universal" mounting plate. If you give them a call, Dimitar should be able to set you up though

Fierce_Fire•1/30/24, 3:42 PM

Do you use a vkb adapter? Can use virpil extensions under that and just tighten the adapter well

I did it like that and mine is sturdy as a rock

It’s the SimFab DCS edition with a custom Rhino mounting solution instead of the normal center mount it comes with

Carlos NO2•1/30/24, 4:42 PM

I’m gonna make a write up and take better pictures once I have it all set up. I hope my grip that arrives today is long enough where I wouldn’t need an extension. The current setup with the warthog in the picture is a tad too low but usable

Carlos NO2•1/30/24, 4:44 PM

Btw does anyone have tips for sticktion on the pedal damper? It’s more than I thought it would be and I’d like to minimize it

Wwalmis What does the windows game controller tester show?

CaptFlushGarden (John Liberto)•1/30/24, 5:39 PM

It shows what appears to be normal behavior, all buttons work, no stuck buttons

Random question: we're considering the FFB for a robotics lab. Is it relatively easy to programatically control the joystick's response?

aeroboticist•1/30/24, 10:52 PM

And follow-up question. For robotic simulator purposes (basically, having the joystick give opposite feedback when the user tries to steer a robot or drone too close to a "danger" area), is the FFB kit going to be noticeably different from the Rhino FFB?

MFGs are in progress, but there is a bit of shortage for the largest 86BLF04 motors until March. Wil
