Was there a kit supposed to be made? I printed a kit for mine and it works amazing.

MThat is one thing that FFB doesn't do very well.
MYou can edit the gain curves in the software, but too much opposing force in the middle and you'll get oscillations.

TOk thank you
OGuys this is going to sound stupid but does the kit assembled just bolt onto my pedals I already have. ?
It says full assembled kit, my MFG crosswinds have the damper fitted.
Do I have to remove it all and fit the kit ?

WYou wouldn't need a damper anymore, FFB does the damping
IWhat exactly does the FFB pedals replicate in airplanes? The braking ? and do pedals get stiffer with speed? a bit of rpm vibration?
IWhat about toe brakes, any resistance added to them? Usually pedals are too soft and hence makes braking too sensitive.
AI don't think there's any ffb in the toe brakes in any design I've seen
Bwouldn't it make more sense, especially engineering wise to use a loadcell for those ?
IIn real planes the stick is what gives you feedback in flight, but rudder pedals not much, they get stiffer with speed, that is all, no pedal buffeting when stalling, only stick, so if they can have the toe braking power giving more resistance that would be great, but feeling the stall, and many of the other effects in the pedals would be a bit unrealistic in the case of airplanes.
Myes, some high end pedals have load cells on the brakes, like https://www.virtual-fly.com/shop/controls/ruddo-plus

Step on for real with our Hall Effect Contactless Ruddo Pedals. Designed to simulate the minimum effort exerted in real aircraft. Ready to fly like a pro?
Pthe hype is real, what do you fly?
WI fly ‘em all man - but mostly helicopters and warbirds. Cold War aircraft quite a bit, less so modern stuff.
MI'm the same and focus on older gen modules vs fly-by-wire. FFB is all that and a bag of chips. First thing I noticed was the visual/audio queues built into DCS to inform the player they are pushing max AOA etc occur later than what you feel with FFB. It isn't a huge gap, but it is significant. It is something you have to feel (no pun intended) to understand. I have been inefficiently over controlling modules for literally decades thinking I was riding the edge only to discover I was robbing myself of turn performance the whole time.
WThat’s a good point - honestly the audio/visual cues in DCS seem to be ‘hey that’s beyond the limit’
WEven though, as you say, in reality you’d be able to feel the edge through flight controls
MNot having to stare at the AOA meter in the Tomcat is a game changer as well. That is one module that is night and day with FFB
WThe nature of the aircraft, that makes sense… and the fact that HB seems to develop features for FFB. Very much looking forward to the F-4’s FFB implementation.
WVery excited! Now just have to wait for mounts to arrive in 3 weeks lol
WPenalty I pay for going Monstertech
MSame. Pulled the trigger on the Rhino for the F4 (and Tomcat). the best part is the F-4 was nicknamed the Rhino back in the day
WLol awesome you’re all set then.
BQuestion from a noob: does the rhino base also includes the motors and electronics, as in, a ready to add stick and fly solution, or does one have to add those to the base?
FIf you buy the complete base, yes
FThe diy kit is only the motors and electronics to allow people to make their own
OSo the ready assembled bit just bolts onto my MFG pedals.
Sorry for sounding like a dumb idiot, it’s my first attempt at making my rig as realistic as possible.
Can’t wait for the stick to arrive.

TThat’s awesome man I’ll eventually pick that one up for sure.
My father was a Navy F4 instructor so it’s got a special place in my heart as well.

ZI assume that FFB is disabled when in a dual seater while not having the controls? Don't want this to happen...

MWe will know when the F4 finally releases in "two weeks"
ZWhat about modules that exist right now?
MI haven't read anything about other 2-seaters in DCS with both players using FFB. It is pretty small user base. I'd imagine thanks to the Rhino (and DIY kits), we will find out at some poijnt
ZOh sorry, I don't specifically mean with 2 FFB users. What if my friend has a normal stick, and controls for example the apache. Does my stick move in real life?
MFound a post where FFB effects are impacting the other player in the Apache...https://forum.dcs.world/topic/301666-force-feedback-problem/

Hi When I fly multicrew in the Apache as CPG, what happens is: every time the pilot (human pilot) trims the aircraft, i feel it in my joystick. Problem is: as CPG I use my joystick axis to operate the TEDAC camera and I don’t even have my joystick set to the aircraft controls axis in the configur...
Dcontinuing discussion around HF8 here @blave549
I find the software pretty simple
I find the software pretty simple
D- I select the game
Dthen I select the FFB effects I want to tune, I can select each of the pads I want for the effect and the % of how much I want it to rumble
Dand that's it, honestly I am not sure why you spent 1/2 hr on this, it's not rocket science or anything, it's very simple and intuitive. 1 example I have is landing gear, I only want it to feel it on my butt so I set it up like this
Dnoting that this only activates the motors on my butt and not my back, this acheived a very simple setup for me. I see no benefit to Simshaker Aviators as it doesn't offer anything over and above what this program does for me, my original statement was only simply pointing out that I would have liked them to add IL-2 to their software, as they already have MSFS, X-Plane and DCS
Fhey, has anyone table mounted their rhino? Prospective buyer here...I wanted to get some monstertech table mounts but not sure if theres enough throw allowed in that setup?
FSorry I meant the mfg ffb mod.
FIs that the aluminum replacement? Where can we preorder this ?
MYes, it’s the aluminum replacement. You can get on the backlog on the same google doc you order your rhino from
.Hey guys, quick question.
Is it really taking a year for the lead time to obtain the rhino?
