T@Thadiun Okona adds weight and therefore inertia to the stick which is bad for motors and all 3d printed parts
MNope. Adds mass yea but the motors work less hard when sticks are mass balanced because they’re no longer constantly working to hold it up. Ff sticks dont tend to be used hands off so a little increase in mass is inconsequential.. it’s already fighting your hands lol
MIf they freely swung around (hands free) by design then yes adding weights would increase wear as you state
SExample- the steel slug on my collective. Without it, the tiny 57BLF01 set with balance spring would warm up pretty quickly
FYes, I use adaptive centering but it doesn’t work all the way.
FWith a counterweight, can the Rhino take the extra weight structurally? I get how the motors won’t be constantly in action, when balanced
WCheck the manual about balancing:

CThe main thing is balance spring effect which works for me.
FI'll test that now, thanks. The Static Force setting also sounds useful.
CRead the chapter balancing the grip in the manual. This might help you
RStatic force and balance spring really helped once tuned in. I usually start with center then use 4 separate extreme angles. Works great.
BI have the z-extension, so have more offset than your usual s-extension and use static force to 5% on the pitch(y?) axis centers it right up.
BA percent or two might be all you need with an s, depending how heavy your grip is of course.
RI’ve got mine front and left 10% and right and back 5%. Again I use center and extreme of each axis to find the sweet spot for the center
CInteresting. I forgot about the static force. Checked my settings and realized I have it with 4% on the y axis.
DHi pilots!
I've finally finished configuring my Monstertech setup and my Rhino sits proudly in the center! Thanks @walmis for this extraordinary work and thanks to all those who work on the software! You guys are amazing!
I really encourage you (hum hum) to read the manual carefully as it contains a multitude of little details that will solve your questions! I made the mistake of not doing it right away, and it took me quite a while! After reading it (re hum hum) I was able to configure everything optimally! What an incredible slap in the face! It's really amazing!
Many thanks to you!

PCool! Can we see how your rhino is mounted? More pics! Also, how are the honeycomb products mounted?
DThanks for the comments, I'll send some photos later!
I can already tell:
I can already tell:
- Rhino with the Monstertech plate (the photo will show it well but you have to be very very low! The 20cm extension is a bit long for me...the 10cm a bit short...so I took the Z (10+5cm = ok but it didn't look great with 2 extensions...)
- Honeycomb Bravo => I took the monstertech side support, and the plate for the TM Airbus throttle (I put it at 90° so that it holds well).
JAny chance there’s a group buy coming up for the Rhino motor kits?
TKits are sold on an individual basis.
Just sign up and grab it!

TI love this set up as well and I love the Virpil covers! Might need something like that myself it’s sweet
DThanks ! Here's some photos ! Yes yes I still move something 
D
SI see you still have your Virpal installed. What do you use it for?
DMainly for the Fenix A320 on MSFS. But I'm not convinced... all the joysticks seem bland since the arrival of the Rhino! But I love my Honeycomb Bravo so I'm trying things out !!!
TYeah man are those panel covers lazer cut? They are awesome I love how you’ve got everything set up
DDeathDonky Prints
Custom. Made affordable. Your 3D printing and Laser etching professional. #1 place for Virpil Control Mods.
DThe boss is amazing, kind, full of patience !! The price is OK
DI forgot but the led are awesome !! I post some night pictures later
RWhat side angled mounts are you using for the button boxes and the keyboard.
DIt's all from Monstertech. a) MTS Keyboard side and B) the Monstertech VPC control panel Mount (side) =>https://www.monster.tech/en/product-category/mts-en/

FTurbulence (in MSFS): how do you increase its effect? I don't see any turbulence setting in either the config app or VPforce. I already have turbulence set to realistic in MSFS. In my Brunner FFB software I have a setting for it, so I hope I just can't find it...?
Nanyone else using the vkb adapter with the metal connector upgrade finding it's tearing up the threads?
Nvkb adapter threads just fine onto a nylon connector as well as a PLA z-extension, but hates the metal connector, haven't been using it because I'm scared to
WThat's strange, but you can find the ring stl here, if needed, to print here: https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1198547200058347670/1252245760293208115
Nusually printed in PLA?
WI print those with PLA+ currently, but you can try PETG

DHello folks, is there a good setup for DCS and the rhino? i had some strange behavior when using the ffb function in dcs. when flying the f14 everything was working as intended. jumping into the f18 there was no real center at the stick and the plane was rolling and pitching the whole time. now with the f4 i disabled ffb in dcs and in the rhino software and use it as a "normal" base. maybe someone can send me some settings for the rhino software and dcs?
MIf you had no centering with the hornet, that's a dcs bug, happens sometimes with ffb, with any module. Restarting the client usually fixes it. The hornet's ffb implementation is decent. The F-4s is pretty bad unless you tune the fuck out of it
Dok, thx for the feedback.
SHey guys - I'm approaching single digits in line. Is there any accessories I'll need to buy that will go along with the Rhino. I think there's a thing that limits the range of motion. Thanks
Athere are throw limiters, yes, I'd recommend getting some (or building some yourself once you've had the chance to try the rhino out and figure out what kind of limiters you need)
AAlso what grip are you planning to use? Some require adapters, some don't
Aalso I believe there's a metal connector piece or something like that for the grip attachment, I'd look into that especially if you intend to switch grips from time to time
TI'm with you. Just got my email and I wasn't expecting it for months if not years, lol
TI've got a WinWing F-16 stick, so I added the adapter. I have a 3d Printer, do I NEED to order limiters or anything that I can't print?
