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

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Is it basically a newer version of this that was just announced?

Alright folks! Here we go! We’re on site at The Rio Las Vegas for FlightSim Expo 2024 and it promises to be quite an action packed afternoon with a series of presentations from names both big…
CFollowing on storm birds. Has some pictures of the slides.
JAh so it is in fact the product I linked. It is scheduled to ship end of July and is currently on sale for $800usd
JAh 165mm shaft that explains why it is so long
JI'd suspect their FFB flight stick will be in the $700+ range possibly beond $1k
VThey have a discord server
JDoesn't surprise me
JFrom what I can tell their yoke was also on Indigogo
VThe $800 price was for their initial backers... Due to shipping costs they said they might not be able to keep it at $800.
JIf you click the link I sent, it is on sale for that $800
JThe 120 is on sale for $1200
JThe description has an estimated shipping price of $150-200 for most locations
JWhich based on what you are saying, this could be increased by 30-50% easily

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

JThey have a home website, and then a .shopify website
Jthe .shopify is where I see the price etc.
LAre we re-entering the torque wars?
J
LNow I'm interested
VCheckout the link to the message on their discord
Jdoesn't work unless people are in the discord
JYou can also take a pic of the message and share it here
LQuestion 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
JOr more specifically the compatibility they aim to achieve
JSoftware 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
JThe dual yoke function is really cool
Jngl
LSome 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
JI should mention this quote is from the yoke page, so idk how much of it applies to the pedals
Nmore FFB is better, but what is this powerpoint ass presentation quality lol
JI'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
LI think they ran it through the Office 365 design thing cause the layout looks similar
JTo me it looks like someone took a pic of the actual slide in FSE from their phone
JYou can see the left border of the projector screen maybe
Ni mean, doesn't really detract from the point that it doesn't exactly inspire confidence
Ni get that companies are small, but FFB is a lot of money to be throwing around
Non this level of presentation effort
WAccording to someone on Reddit when I mentioned the lack of fans and the Brunner that overheats easily he said his Moza wheel base never overheats and the motor has a large heatsink on them so shouldn’t in this case either, but I don’t know, there’s two of them in this compared to the one in a wheelbase.
I tend to agree on that though as I have a Fanatec DD2 wheelbase so a much stronger motor and that never overheats.
Also saw a few comments on the Rhino’s fans being very loud when they kick in, wasn’t happy to hear that.

LAlso MSFS 2024 should have more FFB features, at least that's what has been said
JLet's take a step back and consider the company's history.
They're fairly new to the consumer public, and had a crowdfund project up on Indigogo for their yokes.
They're close to fulfilling Yoke orders, with current projected shipment according to shop page being end of July.
They are situated in China.
I remember a time when WinWing was pretty similar in terms of presentation quality. They've vastly improved their whole brand look over the years.

VAnother neat thing about their yoke is you can upgrade from a cls-60 to a cls-120 by just buying a new motor
JYeah, if I had the funds I'd seriously consider grabbing one at the current price and hoping people can figure out software side down the road.
But, I just bought my first car a month ago (only took 32 years lmao) so my days of big purchases like the Rhino are done for the time being

Nfair enough. Reserving judgment for the final product.
About winwing, their approach has hardly changed other than some fancier graphics lol. Website is always a mess
