the max coefficient on an FFB device is 4096... my testing of the roll gain was that anything around %300 maxes it out.. similarly %300 on pitch makes the force max out pretty quickly at any speed
Anyways, I hope we can find some cool ways to do some direct communication to the stick, and also as soon as I have the Rhino, I'll tune all default values knowing the details of the implementation of the F-4E, share it, and then continue discussing with you to optimise it and find the best values, or different sets of value, for the best realism and/or feel
And also to make it clear, our implementation of the controls for the F-14 was made by fat creason, same as the FM - but I'll also take a look on how we can make it improve your experience with the F-14 - yet I'll start from the F-4E as I have much more detailed knowledge about that.
Before I return to coding, just thought I could drop another chart I saved as a reference. The test pilot was tasked to pull the stick and then return to the pre-pull position. The stick position plot is a bit squeezed to read, but look at the stabilator position and how it keeps oscillating for over 10 seconds after the pull up. Please note, that it's with stab. aug OFF, so all those oscillations must come from the pitch controls (including the feel trim).
I feel like a lot of the low speed slop complaints could be resolved with adding more potential torque to the stick base as well. Then these low ft-lb %s can still provide easy stick "centering" without making any sacrifices in creating force gradients (curves) and clipping at the high ends
Hi guys. One DIY kit is ready to ship if anyone is interrested shoot me a pm. Here is a pic of the asembled unit. Only diffrence is the kit in question doesnt have carbon surface finish but texured PEI finish. Kit comes with everything you need to build your own Rhino except for the Motor kit wich is available a Walmis VPForce store. Gimbal comes completely preassembled. All wiring is preassembled with exception for the motor powercables wich come with the motor kit.
Hi, does anyone have a virpil grip or collective. Im trying to figure out how the virpil bases communicate buttons and analog positions with the grips. well I know the buttons are through cd4021b shift registers but im not sure about the throttle axis. maybe they use a spi adc? or maybe I dont have to worry about that because its done in the base when the connector gets twisted?
I received one of wingers diy kits yesterday and can say that the quality of the kit is superb all 3d prints are high quality the gimbal is pre assembled and all inputs and bolts are bagged and labeled Hope to have it assembled by end of this weekend
You might want to be proactive with this, to avoid delays.......I had to call up and pay.....TNT & FedEx ( I think) are merging and its all a bit messed up. I paid TNT and I now have FedEx chasing me to pay the same bill again.
Thank you to @Jedi 11 and @Kowalsky for posting your recommendations. @SR-FWinger[73]_David : I'm a total newb around here. Where can I get more info about your kit (cost, etc)? Do I just DM you or do you have a website I can peruse?
Just send him a DM with information about your general location for a shipping quote.
(Iβm guessing thatβs how itβs done?)
While Iβve not built one of his kits there are a couple documented in the wild, and here on the discord, so Iβd say itβs a safe bet for anyone who canβt fabricate the shell for themselves.
For me personally Iβm just happy when I see White names turn Green/Red because itβs like Christmas seeing all the baby Rhinoβs in the wild.
