For vibration and immersion, sure.
Something like the UH1 which feels like its shaking its self to death, could be fun/useful

Grale•4/1/24, 8:58 PM

I wish the TelemFFB would be compatible with my MSFFB2 stick to keep me going.
I’ve got 691 Rhinos before mine is ready, I’m guessing end of 2025 if I’m lucky!

AAndyHill many jets have fairly heavy sticks

Col. Sanders•4/1/24, 9:02 PM

How heavy do you think would be appropriate for those?

AndyHill•4/1/24, 9:04 PM

I think realistic would typically be in the 10+kg range, but how much you actually want is a completely different question altogether

I did a "heavy landing" in the Huey when I first got the Rhino.
wasn't prepared for the effects and it nearly ripped out of my hands. I usually light grip the stick for sensitive maneuvers in helis.

its worth it for any aircraft just to get rid of center detent like servo motors did for racing sims

so if I'm using my computer but not using my joystick, should I keep the red button pressed at all times? Is there any downside to this or should I just unplug it altogether?

I press red button when not in use. Even with using comp for other stuff

Col. Sanders•4/2/24, 6:12 AM

In my experience it works great, a few quirks but I think it's great. I didn't do a lot of individual tuning but for me it is a game changer. I can say sustained dog fighting is a lot more taxing now but worth it.

what's the best FFB experience with Rhino/TelemFFB in MSFS?

mark turner•4/2/24, 2:21 PM

Hi, quick shout out to those using the Rhino with the DCS Apache module. I am interested in best recommended settings. I have checked the FFB box in Misc, and tried both instant trim and the no springs & FFB option. They both seem to work, the stick stays where it is when you go up on the force trim. Whats the difference between all the options when using the Rhino? Second query regards the Force trim settings in effects - what is recommended here? Third query is regarding the FFB tuning options in controls, again, whats recommended here? Answers to these questions would be appreciated, and any other tips etc to get the most realistic and effective experience. Thanks

DuraCell•4/2/24, 2:30 PM

I guess when using ffb kit for MFG crosswinds dampener is obsolete and not needed anymore?

Fr4Ged•4/2/24, 2:30 PM

You don't have to use the force trim settings in the effects tab of the VPforce tool when playing DCS.
it is meant for games that don't natively support force trimming.
I just use moderate effects in the VPforce software and default in TelemFFB. all those are subjective to each individual user I'd guess.

Edwin.Zhang•4/2/24, 2:33 PM

I often find that one of my two FFB pages suddenly loses connection with DCS. What could be causing this?

Fr4Ged•4/2/24, 2:34 PM

you are using two instances of TelemFFB at once? why?

Edwin.Zhang•4/2/24, 2:35 PM

Because one is for the joystick and the other is for the rudder pedals.

SSpelljammer1 what's the best FFB experience with Rhino/TelemFFB in MSFS?

DuraCell•4/2/24, 2:45 PM

I think latest Wip drasticly improved forces and general vibrations and feeling in MFS in general. Anything I tried flying I was blown away how good it felt compared to before

Edwin.Zhang•4/2/24, 2:51 PM

On this page, I've already switched to the F-18 in DCS, but my rudder pedals are still stuck on the AH64D. This is strange, and of course, the F-18's rudder FFB feedback is definitely not available.

Mmark turner Thanks, any comment regarding 1st & 3rd queries?

Fr4Ged•4/2/24, 3:45 PM

I use instant trim (ffb friendly) for the cyclic as that was recommended.
Without springs and FFB wouldn't make sense since we are using FFB.
for the settings there isn't really a recommendation. Play around and use what you like.
also use TelemFFB, too

AndyHill•4/2/24, 3:46 PM

I think we're about to find out if the kit works with older mfgs

mark turner•4/2/24, 3:49 PM

Just been trying stuff out, instant trim is the way, I agree. The telemFFB effects are superb, I was using a CM3 Virpil base before which was very nice, but this is really good. Been using a Rhino in my jet sim pit for around 6 months now and really love it and was wondering how much better one would be in the Helo pit. Pleasantly surprised!

Chuff•4/2/24, 4:43 PM

I know it's pointless with the current state of what sims are exporting and such, but I'd really love to have ffb on the brake axes at some point. Steering airplanes with differential braking is easy in real life, but a PITA in the sims.

Chuff•4/2/24, 4:46 PM

But any idea what the time fram is going to roughly be for people who go ahead and fill out the mfg preorder today?

PiNKSH!T•4/2/24, 4:48 PM

I've wondered how load cells would go on the toe brakes, I believe someone here did try it as a mod. If it could be done somewhat close to the racing sim brakes it might feel a lot better & be a bit more precise, I for one would def love some really nice feeling toe brakes closer to irl.

Chuff•4/2/24, 4:49 PM

for sure. I actually think it would be more of an improvement for me than the actual rudder axis. I don't fly helis at all, though.

For vibration and immersion, sure. Something like the UH1 which feels like its shaking its self to d
