that'll be great for c130

Things people often don’t think about when they imagine some offshoot FFB device (aka throttle) is the difficulty in doing anything useful with it n software because the sim doesn’t know it’s FFB. If the axis is moving, the sim thinks the useris moving the axis. Probably doesn’t work too well if you manually make your current throttle match what the in game auto-throttle is doing. Accounting for that in software isn’t easy.

id imagine similar story for pedals

I'm looking and looking, do you perhaps have a source I can reference for more info on the yoke?

https://flitesim.myshopify.com/products/cls-60-force-feedback-yoke-1 This is what I see so far (I've seen their stuff before)

Is it basically a newer version of this that was just announced?

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:29 PM

Ah so it is in fact the product I linked. It is scheduled to ship end of July and is currently on sale for $800usd

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:30 PM

Ah 165mm shaft that explains why it is so long

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:32 PM

I'd suspect their FFB flight stick will be in the $700+ range possibly beond $1k

voidkitty•6/21/24, 9:33 PM

The $800 price was for their initial backers... Due to shipping costs they said they might not be able to keep it at $800.

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:33 PM

If you click the link I sent, it is on sale for that $800

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:34 PM

The 120 is on sale for $1200

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:34 PM

The description has an estimated shipping price of $150-200 for most locations

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:35 PM

Which based on what you are saying, this could be increased by 30-50% easily

Thanks for the find. Couldn't get the website to load up.

They have a home website, and then a .shopify website

the .shopify is where I see the price etc.

Question is what is the software driving it going to look like, I understand they already have a background with cockpit building, but again a big advantage of Rhino is the extensibility of it essentially making custom effects outside of the sim

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:38 PM

Or more specifically the compatibility they aim to achieve

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:39 PM

Software Compatibility: Microsoft Simulator 2020, X-Plane 11 & 12, and Prepar3D V4.5.11 and higher

FREE FFB Tools Built-in Software Features (Windows 10 & 11 Only):
– Dual-yoke function for pilot and co-pilot yoke synchronization 
– Four-stage stick force curve adjustment for customized pitch & roll control profiles; ability to save & load customized profiles
– Easy-to-use interface for reading, setting, and resetting device parameters to factory settings
– Yoke Physics Simulation
– Engine Vibration Simulation
– Ground Roll Simulation
– Turbulence Simulation
– Stall Warning Simulation
Option to disable hardware trim when aircraft is on the ground

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:39 PM

The dual yoke function is really cool

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:39 PM

ngl

LastRonin•6/21/24, 9:40 PM

Some of those simulation features seem like they can work outside of sim, which would be important for rudders since right now a lot of the Rhino rudder features have to happen outside of the sim given the lack of FFB rudder support broadly

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:40 PM

I should mention this quote is from the yoke page, so idk how much of it applies to the pedals

more FFB is better, but what is this powerpoint ass presentation quality lol

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/21/24, 9:41 PM

I'll definitely be interested in something like this down the road once MSFS 24 is out and DCS C130 is out given someone has a way to make the yoke work in DCS

Nnubbins more FFB is better, but what is this powerpoint ass presentation quality lol

LastRonin•6/21/24, 9:42 PM

I think they ran it through the Office 365 design thing cause the layout looks similar
