I booted mine up and barely tested it, and first thought, dang I want another.

Then I experimented with trim settings and I thought I should have bought two seven years ago (small comfort that it didn't exist yet)

Exactly… feeling the stick relax as you trim in like it does irl…

Yeah it’s just something I can’t even fully put into words.

Flynn (Phil)•6/4/24, 2:32 PM

I don't know, I've not used short goosenecks before. I was just trying to find the right combination of height, stick position fore and aft, and throw. The Rhino gives you an effective extension from the off, so you don't need much extra, in my opinion (the z-ext is maybe 11cm?). I wanted to bring the stick back towards me - the massive box stops me bringing the whole thing back towards me, so the z-ext is great for that - plus it fits just over the seat base when pulled max back. Also you can choose your angle for the stick front to back . One thing that I don't hear talked about much is throw - if you put a long extension on, you end up with a huge throw, which is good if your base is on the ground, but not otherwise. I've got hardware restrictions in for (I think) +- 11 degrees left and right, and 8 forward, 14 back, and the stick feels exactly right for me. Obviously there's some sw setting up to be done, which can take a while...

Yeah that’s what I love bout the Rhino… soooooooo many set ups.

I’m mounting it to a pedestal and using the full 22degrees because she’s basically in the tunnel between my legs just like the natural position

I still have to figure out a setup to
1) hold the rhino
2) adapt to a swivel gaming chair
3) be easy to destruct and pack up in a pinch

Considering the weight and torque I'm hesitant to get something that's directly and only mounted to the chair, for the rhino

Here is the make shift pedestal I’m making.

I’ll cut and carpet the base board same as the chair.

Metal plate is the foot rest for the pedal mount.

Easy peasy little pedestal with some drawers to hold the extras and cords or whatever you’re not using.

Like I said it’s WIP so don’t judge me but yeah.. Solid mount is what I’m after as well

Crosswinds as well. Noice!

Cowboy10uk•6/4/24, 3:03 PM

The Rhino is currently on the mounts lowest setting, but is way to high realistically. So figure mounting it on the chair lower down, will mean the not only is it in the correct height but it won’t hit the ufc. Win win.

SSamNFTY Crosswinds as well. Noice!

Pretty happy with my ghetto 2x4 + plywood modified Virpil desk mount. I recently replaced the adjustable furniture legs I was using (because they were wobbly) with a small plywood pedestal which is secured to the floor with 3m micro suction “tape”.

Pretty easy to disconnect from the desk and pop it off the floor if needed.

@walmis How hard would it be to add a second dial to control each motor separately? I have the factory assembled version. Sometimes I feel the pitch forces are weaker than aileron forces, I have modified the graph and that helped somehow but having a dial would be a lot easier.

Red Magic•6/4/24, 4:11 PM

Hey Moto! For warbirds a lot of the time the ailerons would stiffen up more than the pitch control, since pulleys and bobweights were more optimized for such. So the difference between the two in this case for WW2 is I think generally ok, without pulling out a calculator

Red Magic•6/4/24, 4:12 PM

In a non-FFB configuration, you can see in a diving P51 for instance that rudder and ailerons will constrict in control in DCS before the elevators

I/JG7_Moto•6/4/24, 4:26 PM

True, but still think pitch control could be a bit stiffer than it is, specially the initial pull which is too soft, compared to how stiff roll is represented in FFB, which I think its really well modeled. This is how it feels IRL in the warbird I fly.

I booted mine up and barely tested it, and first thought, dang I want another. Then I experimented
