The F-18 doesn't currently have anything special in its controls, maybe some day if the devs get into it or TelemFFB does some kind of magic
FYup, you'll notice when you pull gs vs normal full deflection
NThere’s a generic “G Force” effect in TelemFFB, but the actual FFB implementation of the module does not implement any sort of g based control loading.
FIt does feel somewhat rough yea but the feeling is certainly there
BJust came across this. It's even bigger than the Rhino! Interesting approach, but not a contendah in my world. https://ffbeast.github.io/
MYeah, the hornet's FFB implementation feels disappointing compared to the mudhen and tomcat
FThe 86BLF04 motors use a pinion gear with a 13mm bore, correct?
S12.7mm (0.5 inch)
Fgod's caliber
FHeh
FMECCANIXITY 5M 15Teeth Timing Pulley Synchronous Wheel Belt Drive Without Step 20mm Height 5mm Pitch 12.7mm Bore for Belt, 3D Printer, CNC
FMy intension is to rig the motors up in a way that mimics the Rhino belt system. However instead of the 74 tooth pulley being directly attached to the gimbal, it'll be mated to another 74 tooth pulley that will route around a few turn-arounds and a tensioner, with the ends eventually terminating at the output fork of the pitch and roll axes.
MHere's a drawing of the motor's shaft
FThanks!
BDoes anyone know if the rhino works with War Thunder force feedback?
Pthought that was .45acp?

SWell even god has multiple firearms
SAnd if god has a zip 22 doesnt that automatically make .22 long rifle gods caliber?
Pyeah it's like ~15kg of force at the grip connection point. It has no support for grips though so you would need to buy the grip & base for each grip you want ie. WW, Virpil, VKB. I have no idea about electric motors etc. but seems they are hoverboard motors, he claims they have no cogging & are smooth. It'd be interesting to see if he goes further with the software side of things. But as it is now I think I'll go for a big motor kit Rhino if I go for stronger ffb in the future
P*it has support on board for thrustmaster grips I belive he said

WI find it strange there's no emergency stop switch on that machine, that kind of forces can cause quite some damage/injury if configured wrong and the game sends some high amplitude effects.
Pyeah good observation! that's pretty crazy not having any sort of emergency stop.
Pout of curiosity how strong would the largest of the VPforce motors be in a Rhino like config?
BSeems to have an on/off button i guess.
But yeah slap switch, or for this even a kick switch you can trigger with a foot would be a better idea.

WI guesstimate about 30ish Nm with the Rhino gearing
Pahh ok, how many kg's would that be?
NIt probably should have a dead man switch!.. if something does go badly, you wouldn't be in any condition to intentionally hit any manual switch..
Brings a whole new level to Whack F*ck

Pjust trying to get an idea compared to that other one
Pit was ~15kg
Wdepends on the lever length. 30Nm at meter lever - 3kg, half meter - 6kg
BYou'd have to mount it inside the floor to make decent use of a 1m extension.
Then again with the forces in question, you might want to do just that...

Ahow much force can the grips and connectors actually take?
Abtw what would 15kg at grip connector mean in watts?
FWatts is a measure of energy over time, 15kg is an unchanging force
FSame as Nm > N at stick is dependent on length
FIf you mean what the motor would pull it'd again be dependent on the length
Athe motor has to constantly work against the pull
Aand it's going to be a ballpark figure anyway, but I'm thinking those motors will need to dissipate quite a bit of heat to keep going for any length of time
WNOTICE Due to ISP problems, @VPforceBot will be offline for a bit
SNooo how will now know that im ~90 rhinos away from getting my own oh the humanity
FIt works but weirdly. In my case, spring force is too weak regardless of the gain value set by the vpforce configurator and timing of occuring buffeting is weird
FI'd say look at max power rating, 15kg would be around there anyways
Sis the Rhino just as smooth at low force settings?
MThe Rhino is smooth as hell at any force setting
BOnly time it doesn't feel smooth, and i mean smoooth, is when its not powered up.
MYeah, if you move it around without power, it's a little crunchy lol
BPower it up and it makes my otherwise amazing virpil gimbals feel like a bucket of bolts and nuts.
Sthis is why I ask about low force setting smoothness -- whether some of the graininess returns?
BThe anti cogging is seperate from the counter force, so even completely loose its all smooth.
