My 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.

Does anyone know if the rhino works with War Thunder force feedback?

PiNKSH!T•3/19/24, 9:02 AM

yeah 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

PiNKSH!T•3/19/24, 9:03 AM

I 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.

PiNKSH!T•3/19/24, 10:48 AM

yeah good observation! that's pretty crazy not having any sort of emergency stop.

PiNKSH!T•3/19/24, 10:49 AM

out of curiosity how strong would the largest of the VPforce motors be in a Rhino like config?

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 10:50 AM

Seems 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.

walmis•3/19/24, 10:52 AM

I guesstimate about 30ish Nm with the Rhino gearing

Wwalmis I guesstimate about 30ish Nm with the Rhino gearing

PiNKSH!T•3/19/24, 10:54 AM

ahh ok, how many kg's would that be?

Number481•3/19/24, 10:54 AM

It 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

PiNKSH!T•3/19/24, 10:55 AM

just trying to get an idea compared to that other one

PiNKSH!T•3/19/24, 10:55 AM

it was ~15kg

PPiNKSH!T it was ~15kg

walmis•3/19/24, 11:01 AM

depends on the lever length. 30Nm at meter lever - 3kg, half meter - 6kg

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 11:07 AM

You'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...

AndyHill•3/19/24, 11:09 AM

how much force can the grips and connectors actually take?

AndyHill•3/19/24, 11:23 AM

btw what would 15kg at grip connector mean in watts?

Fierce_Fire•3/19/24, 1:38 PM

Watts is a measure of energy over time, 15kg is an unchanging force

Fierce_Fire•3/19/24, 1:38 PM

Same as Nm > N at stick is dependent on length

Fierce_Fire•3/19/24, 1:39 PM

If you mean what the motor would pull it'd again be dependent on the length

AndyHill•3/19/24, 1:58 PM

the motor has to constantly work against the pull

AndyHill•3/19/24, 1:59 PM

and 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

Nooo how will now know that im ~90 rhinos away from getting my own oh the humanity

BBoo Berry Does anyone know if the rhino works with War Thunder force feedback?

Fresh_Mint•3/19/24, 2:46 PM

It 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

AAndyHill and it's going to be a ballpark figure anyway, but I'm thinking those motors wil...

Fierce_Fire•3/19/24, 4:25 PM

I'd say look at max power rating, 15kg would be around there anyways

Spelljammer1•3/19/24, 5:23 PM

is the Rhino just as smooth at low force settings?

MashedPotato•3/19/24, 5:32 PM

The Rhino is smooth as hell at any force setting

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 5:32 PM

Only time it doesn't feel smooth, and i mean smoooth, is when its not powered up.

MashedPotato•3/19/24, 5:32 PM

Yeah, if you move it around without power, it's a little crunchy lol

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 5:33 PM

Power it up and it makes my otherwise amazing virpil gimbals feel like a bucket of bolts and nuts.

Spelljammer1•3/19/24, 5:46 PM

this is why I ask about low force setting smoothness -- whether some of the graininess returns?

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 5:46 PM

The anti cogging is seperate from the counter force, so even completely loose its all smooth.

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 5:48 PM

You can almost feel more resistance without the motors powered than if you say dial spring down to 0%.

Spelljammer1•3/19/24, 5:51 PM

virpil gimbals are great, but somehow they have lost out to vkb and winwing in my setup.

Spelljammer1•3/19/24, 5:52 PM

well the WW Super Libra does have some Virpil DNA in the way I have modded it, namely Virpil's no center cams. With the WW Clutch, that one to date remains "the smoothest" I have

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 5:52 PM

Never tried vkb, and got virpils early, good enough until I found something truly new. Do have a WW throttle.

Spelljammer1•3/19/24, 5:53 PM

"got virpils early" means you don't have any gimbals with clutch, right?

Bob Bushman•3/19/24, 5:53 PM

yup
