Nice, I've been interested in doing the same. Has it held up well to your grip? I.e. no erosion.

Maybe I'll do it on my Mongoose as a test.

nubbins•6/24/24, 8:09 PM

it's only been about a month and a bit. But since it's cerakote I have significantly more confidence in it than the factory e-coat that peels on older MCGUs

nubbins•6/24/24, 8:10 PM

can't say how it will be done on T50, as that's not metal and idk how well cerakote works on polymer and what prep is needed

nubbins•6/24/24, 9:06 PM

i'm trying to think of anything. I don't know how the T50 looks internally so I'm not sure if there's specifics. There was a little bit of concern over fine pitch threads everywhere inside the MCGU (it has a lot of screw posts), but it wasn't a problem.

nubbins•6/24/24, 9:07 PM

Probably the focus will be on how to remove the paint. If that's even necessary for Cerakote on plastic? idk much about painting plastics

Old Prospector•6/24/24, 9:17 PM

@walmis here it is. The first screens is how I set it up. As I said, when tested dry, works like expected. But when loaded with TelemFFB in game (pedal mode static) the curve looks like the last picture (cut off always on the right side). The pedal in this case is limb to the right and stiff to the left.

Number481•6/25/24, 12:26 AM

FWIW, if I import your profile (just using configurator), the gain map looks like the cut-off one in your last screenshot. I recreated the gain map you show.. works fine at first in the same configurator session.

Without using TelemFFB... Reload normal profile...Close configurator...open configurator...load center detent profile... looks like the cut-off one again. I think its either a read-issue or a write-issue with configurator.

SR-F_Winger_[73]_David•6/25/24, 11:16 AM

I was a little concerned in the beginning as well. But actually i think that the Rhino is and will remain the FFB-base that offers the most awesome and sophisticated effects. Looking at the moza software for example there is nothing but very basic FFB effects in place.
And one advantage no industrial produced base will be able to offer:
Easy and quick reproduction of replacementparts, modability and not to forget "awesomeness".

And over that one should not forget that there already was a bigger player that offered industrial produced base - brunner. And we all know that the Rhino is far superior.

Fr4Ged•6/25/24, 12:04 PM

I am sure the list will get shorter once the other FFB bases are on the market
