Thanks. Ideally I wanted 21 aft, and since the default on the limiters was 20 I wanted to make sure 21 was ok.

I love popping in here and seeing more and more Rhinos shipping out. It’s like a rolling Christmas for other people.

TripRodriguez•2/14/24, 3:11 PM

Also, @walmis I just want to say thank you for finally giving us a good force feedback stick that blows the MS FFB2 out of the water in every way possible. I've got #0022 and I absolutely love it.

TripRodriguez•2/14/24, 3:13 PM

On a different note, I feel sure that the software throw limiter generates substantially heavier pull than DCS aircraft when I set everything to max. Is there a way to get DCS aircraft to truly use the Rhino to it's true potential? I confess I haven't yet read the WIP manual, I'm buried in projects right now.

So you’re saying the stick is not giving enough force or too much? I’m just curious.

I just completed a DIY build from Protomakers guide and plans, which I found to be excellent, and it looks like the site you posted from Gadroc has a few changes to the gimbal components and the addition of screw inserts, but is very similar, and he recommends following Protomakers guide: https://github.com/protomaker964/Rhino-FFB-Clone-3D_Printed?search=1

TC-Durham•2/17/24, 2:03 AM

I swapped my base so instead of the red button being toward me, it is now to the side, effectively bringing the joystick base closer to the seat (my bum). I then swapped X and Y in DCS, but now the force trim does the opposite of what I want. It places the trimmer where the stick is, but on release does the reverse of what I want. Is there a fix for this or should I just go back to where I started with the big red button facing backward toward the chair?

TC-Durham•2/17/24, 2:03 AM

I guess I am asking is there a way to swap x and y in the vp rhino software?

smitty•2/17/24, 3:44 AM

swap axes and invert as needed in configurator. leave the game as it was

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:34 PM

I want as much force as I can possibly get out of it, since no PC stick generates as much force as many real aircraft. Since the limiter setting felt to me like significantly more force than I get when settings are maxed I was wondering if there's a way to get more force out of it while using the stick normally. I don't expect there is, I just thought it was worth asking.

原子力Hoshino•2/20/24, 4:14 AM

I'm also curious about it too. So if every slider is 100%, would the motors produce their stated peak torque at the end of the travel?

walmis•2/20/24, 7:23 AM

Basically at 100% spring the force is scaled linearly through the travel range (green line), you can also have a stiffer response, but saturated at travel edges (black line). The endstops have a very rapid rise of torque response vs travel giving the illusion of more force.
It's possible to increase spring gain above 100% using the spring "Gain Map" tool

So in order to achieve the peak torque output (ex. 9NM for rhino/57BLF03) at the end of the travel, is it necessary to go beyond 100% spring gain? Will it cause any damage to the motor etc?

Bob Bushman•2/20/24, 12:53 PM

walmis•2/20/24, 12:59 PM

No, motors do achieve peak torque at peak travel. And no, motors are pretty robust, the only limiting factor is the temperature.

Hi everyone,

i have a question for @walmis and the TelemFFB Devs (looking at @Number481

) What would you recommendation for a yoke be? Is there a good Project with the VPForce Kit? Or is there a way to use Brunner Yokes with TelemFFB?

thanks!

Number481•2/20/24, 11:16 PM

Last question first, no, the Bruner won’t work with TelemFFB. The driver is very custom to VPForce.

If you search around, a few people have attempted yokes. I am not qualified to give mechanical design advise, but if I were going to try, I’d rip apart my Alpha yoke that has been collecting dust under my desk for 2 years and see what I could make out of the guts.
