Moza is basically the more affordable Fanatec but with a smaller advertisement footprint. Also unlike Fanatec you can buy their products in stores, such as Microcenter. In fact there's a very high likelihood it will be possible to buy their flight sim gear in stores like Microcenter.

This is a big deal for flight sim accessibility because in such a scenario their direct competition are Logitech and Thrustmaster, primarily. Simply by being IN STORES they have a wider reach to the general populace than places like Virpil, VKB, and WinWing.

Also they have a few products that work on Xbox, so their push for flight sim may include Xbox compatibility with eyes focused on MSFS 2024 end of this year.

I was in Microcenter last year and they had quite a bit of flight sim stuff (yokes, panels, sticks, throttle, etc..)

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•6/20/24, 10:00 PM

Yeah, so add Moza's lineup to that

Somnium went bezerk on the optical quality, completely disregarded audio, and now want to sell at twice the price of pimax, even more expensive than varjo, both manufacturers who have had multiple generations on the market. They have given a review sample to exactly one youtuber before bringing it on the market. I have a reservation, but I'll pass. The premiums they charge for eye and hand tracking are ridiculous.

Arno•6/21/24, 6:40 AM

And the translucent plastic. 500 Euros extra. 600 with taxes. That's more than a Quest 3.

afaik 72T/12 gives 6:1 so thats 1.8x6 =~ 11nm peak
those simracing companies always specify peak torque for marketing

TheAmazinGreat•6/21/24, 11:00 AM

Knowing sim racing marketing, there’s a good chance aluminum just refers to the housing and the 9nm is some peak torque level that isn’t close to actual or sustained force.

Bob Bushman•6/21/24, 11:59 AM

Or they could refer to sustained as 'X' seconds until they overheat.

As always we can't trust just the marketing blurb.
Until confirmed through testing, even if its just 9nm at mount point for an impulse, if the price is competitive than it can still be excellent value, at least for helicopters.

j9murphy•6/21/24, 11:59 AM

Am I going to have any issues with the Rhino using the TM F18 or F16 grips as long as I keep my extension 200mm or less?

Touch_Of_Legend•6/21/24, 12:03 PM

Yeah no fans makes me wonder about overheat protection because thermal is just facts of life but if it’s cheap and gets more folks AND more importantly more games to pay attention to FFB data..

Win for the Rhino

AndyHill•6/21/24, 12:04 PM

heavy TM grips with long extensions can be a challenge, but I haven't tested that myself so I don't really know

AndyHill•6/21/24, 12:05 PM

do note, however, that rhino basically comes with a built-in extension so if you add 20cm to that it's going to be a lot

Bob Bushman•6/21/24, 12:09 PM

I got my rhino on a small pedestal barely 10cm off the floor, and my extension builds about 10cm more.

I still have to raise my arm to manage the grip, i can finger fly with my hand resting in my lap, so honestly could probably loose a few cm in height.

In short with a 20cm extension, the rhino will be on the floor.

j9murphy•6/21/24, 12:10 PM

Thanks, found the drawing - looks like about 290mm from the bottom of the base to the threads, so I would only need 100mm max, maybe less. I assume that would improve things.

Touch_Of_Legend•6/21/24, 12:11 PM

There is a section in the manual on balancing heavier sticks or sticks that are off center because of a curve or Z off set extension so I’d for sure give it a read as well
