Yeah I know I’m sort of wired funny that way but what I mean is I don’t want an expensive paperweight after building the Rhino so unless I need it I’d prefer not to buy it.

Do you guys prefer to use them so you can still use the set up software on the sticks? Or can I just get away without it.

Thanks man and sorry for the annoying questions

AndyHill•4/24/24, 10:48 AM

I still have a base for my VKB MCGU grip and I decided to change the functionality of one of the buttons and I might need the base for that, I don't really know

AndyHill•4/24/24, 10:49 AM

the decision was about 16 months ago and I still haven't installed the software on this computer because I hate it so much

PlaguedRoo•4/24/24, 11:23 AM

Whatever setup (software configuration to the base+stick) you do will be specific to the base. Once you change bases, you’ll lose all of those settings. Nothing is saved to the stick alone. So if you’re only going to use the Rhino as your base then don’t buy the paper weight.

Speaking for Virpil hardware. I’m not sure if other vendors have some magic that saves settings to the sticks.

Anyone know how long it takes from order to payment to ship?

WhereNoLarkFlew•4/24/24, 11:30 AM

Once that occurs, is it generally a few days for each step?

Spelljammer1•4/24/24, 12:11 PM

I'm contemplating on getting the F14 from Heatblur in MSFS. Anybody able to compare the FFB with the F14 there (using TelemFFB), is it as good as with DCS?

Spelljammer1•4/24/24, 12:51 PM

asking here because this is now where the bulk of FFB experience is at

Number481•4/24/24, 1:01 PM

I don't own the aircraft so I can't speak to any potential feature compatibility issues (i.e. due to non standard telemetry for example) , but from a TelemFFB perspective, there's nothing special about that aircraft. It will be treated as any other aircraft you create a profile for so all the same effects would be supported as in any other MSFS aircraft.

Bob Bushman•4/24/24, 3:06 PM

Any ETA on the metal mount ?

Fr4Ged•4/24/24, 4:44 PM

this one? (just realized the Backorder thing)

Bob Bushman•4/24/24, 4:46 PM

That would be the one, just checked the form now myself, hadn't heard much of it for a while.

Guess I'll order one later today/tomorrow.

Sounds good, I'll give a hand at printing a new mount myself and order the aluminum one.

I'll assume you can take the order and send when able ?

Sure

Spelljammer1•4/24/24, 6:05 PM

Thanks for your input. So the reason why I ask about this plane specifically is that the FFB for F14 in DCS was touted to be the best even before we were all saved by TelemFFB. From your sentence I do not quite see how would TelemFFB differentiate between F14 (non-fly-by-wire) and F18 (FBW), but presumably that is integrated in the flight models themselves?

Okay, I guess the next step is to learn how to create per-plane profiles for MSFS.

Chuff•4/24/24, 6:49 PM

is there a way to get one put aside and sent at the same time as my MFG pedal conversion when those become available?

MashedPotato•4/24/24, 7:11 PM

telemFFB (for DCS at least) does not run the actual FFB, that's handled by the sim itself. TelemFFB runs the additional effects that can be provided through the motors, which are not provided by the sim.

MashedPotato•4/24/24, 7:12 PM

FBW FFB is (depending on jet) kind of just like running the Rhino in spring mode, the hornet at least has a little bit of realistic tension gradianting when it's commanding G though, which ime makes it feel better to fly on than a traditional gimbal

Spelljammer1•4/24/24, 7:28 PM

Thanks very much for this clarification, indeed I was wondering what does TelemFFB actually add.

Spelljammer1•4/24/24, 7:28 PM

in MSFS the only effects available are the ones from TelemFFB, right? because official support is not in game yet.

Oh, that's not bad! I already put myself on the backorder list, I'm getting this regardless if I can get my virpil on the base or not. There's no way in hell the 3d printed version would survive a 2nd joystick mounting in the future

whats the difference between 86BLF04 and the 86BLF03 motors? if you buy without the motor do you need anything else besides the motor to complete the retrofit?
