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

I hope you've reached out to walmis

GroverOP•5/29/24, 1:01 PM

Oh yeah, I DM-ed @walmis earlier this week, and we're on it

so big thank you

GroverOP•5/29/24, 1:04 PM

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.

GroverOP•5/29/24, 1:28 PM

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).

GroverOP•5/29/24, 1:30 PM

That's the result of using bobweights - you trade better (higher) force gradients with G for more inertia making the oscillations more pronounced

Number481•5/29/24, 1:40 PM

Man.. it must have been a real trip to fly that airplaine IRL

GarrafaBr•5/29/24, 3:50 PM

Does anyone have a seat belt tensioner? Is it worth it? Does it adds to immersion for flying (g forces)?

Red Magic•5/29/24, 4:03 PM

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

I just want to say Thank you for all you do and continue to do for the community.

Can’t wait to see what you do with the Rhino so welcome to the Family

SR-F_Winger_[73]_David•5/30/24, 7:28 PM

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.

SwiftVengeance•5/30/24, 8:53 PM

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?

GGrover Aye!

Awesome man, looking forward to seeing what you come up with

WhereNoLarkFlew•5/30/24, 11:02 PM

@Grover Are you going to put a profile together for the F-14 as well?

yojoego•5/30/24, 11:08 PM

Is there a place to download peoples aircraft profiles for the rhino?

At some point, yes, just can't promise on the timeline now. But that's the plan.

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

SwiftVengeance•5/31/24, 7:58 AM

How is the rhino able to comunicate with virpil grips that have analog axis

HrEple•5/31/24, 8:03 AM

Perhaps a channel just for profiles - that would be amazing. Should probably be divided between different sims. I would love profiles for DCS.

NNumber481 Curious for anyone else to try these settings... Gain map will cause the forces...

mark turner•5/31/24, 9:33 AM

I just tried these settings and its much better than what I had. Less sensitivity as well, tanking in the F4 definitely easier.....thanks 481

Just send him a DM with information about your general location for a shipping quote.

(I’m guessing that’s how it’s done?)

While I’ve not built one of his kits there are a couple documented in the wild, and here on the discord, so I’d say it’s a safe bet for anyone who can’t fabricate the shell for themselves.

For me personally I’m just happy when I see White names turn Green/Red because it’s like Christmas seeing all the baby Rhino’s in the wild.

Happy Friday and Happy flying yalls
