I am planning on printing the housing using the design from protomaker964 didnt see it mentioned in the assembly guide but do i need to use heat set inserts for the panels?

i think only gadroc guide is designed around heat set inserts

Everything to assemble the Protomaker build is on the BOM in the assembly page. (Page 2)

As nubbins said only Gadroc build and some light mods use the inserts.

Most of the builds out are the proto build and they are all running strong!

my VKB setup is made of almost exclusively 2by4 and plywood, I just need to replace my dining chair for a garden furniture and itll be full ghetto

arj211•6/2/24, 10:07 AM

I'd recommend getting some 2by4 and long screws to mount it on the chair bracket, or a pedestal with piece of ply and then your heels/pedals will stabilize it

Hi! I'm new to FFB. I'm wondering if the deceleration - stick forward effect is a realistic one or is that art added to FFB? i'm just confused why the stabilators would change to nose down due to breaking. or is it the inertia of the stick pulling it forward? in that case isn't it a little strong of an effect?

walmis•6/3/24, 6:09 AM

It's not meant to be realistic, more of an 'art' added for immersion like various vibrations. Some may like it some may don't - it's always possible to turn it off.

RimanDk•6/3/24, 7:37 AM

Hey guys - does anyone have experience with the VKB Rev C adapter (mk4)? I have a Rev B with the pins and the contact patch and the disconnects are driving me insane. Was wondering if the Rev C works better or not? Seems to be a minijack configuration, which should be far superior, by the looks of it?

nubbins•6/3/24, 3:05 PM

still requires a tight grip fastener for proper install, and SCG is still tricky due to the plastic adapter, but MCG is much better

nubbins•6/3/24, 3:05 PM

no more need to apply so much downward force when installing

RimanDk•6/3/24, 3:06 PM

Are you supposed to press down hard while installing with Rev B? Isn't there a risk of bending the pins?

RimanDk•6/3/24, 3:07 PM

Thanks for giving me hope! I really want to switch to Rev C, but I'm euro-based and they don't sell them in Europe yet =/

nubbins•6/3/24, 3:09 PM

yea there is risk, not supposed to be too much force, but it's always a balance and becomes a ever-worsening vicious cycle once deeper gouges manifest

RimanDk•6/3/24, 3:11 PM

Yeah... gotcha.
I did what someone here proposed back when I got my unit, months ago, and applied some sodder to the contact patches (because it was driving me absolutely mad). It helped... then, it didn't... the screw kept getting loose under vibration. I finally invested in some loctite, which helped for a few weeks... now, it's back...

unfortunate to hear that

nubbins•6/3/24, 3:13 PM

I never had to replace my rev.b pads but if they told me to add solder I think I wouldve just asked for a replacement instead, that doesn't look like a viable long term fix

RimanDk•6/3/24, 3:15 PM

Well, as I understood it, it was a matter of the pins not making good contact with the patch. Made sense that elevating the patch by means of making a few small "sodder hills" would eliminate distance as a possible culprit.
And, again, for a while it worked. It was solid in the beginning. For some reason, it became more and more unstable, though, and now it's disconnecting several times every flight and I need to twist the grip some to get the connection back.

RimanDk•6/3/24, 3:16 PM

That sounds great! I take it it's just stable connection now?

affirmative, no problems with MCGU

on the other hand, I didn't really have issues either with MCGU on rev.b, only SCG

Arno•6/3/24, 4:41 PM

I have a converted TM Warthog grip, I used a grub screw to be able to quickly release it from the VKB extension. Doesn't have twist either. However, I am contemplating modifying (3D printing) the twist base of my F14 grip to remove the twist and add a quick release.

Buckaroo•6/4/24, 9:51 AM

Folks,
I put my name on the ordering list for a base but I'm currently around 800s on the waiting list. So I'm considering the self build option.
I'd appreciate if someone could explain the process . I understand that the kit is supplied with motors and boards, but from where do I source the other parts or are there drawings/ files from which I can manufacture or buy them ? Is there options of materials, like metal or 3D printing and is the software readily available?
I appreciate that these will be obvious to some, but I've browsed the channel and still unsure . Thanks .
