Same, though not as for them since I dont give a rats ass about them but that means that potentially I could jump places on the list for my Rhino

ddrake1984•6/28/24, 8:09 AM

Yeah, I bought the vkb adapter, such a smart idea (connector)

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/28/24, 9:24 AM

I give Moza benefit of the doubt because its their entry into the flight sim market, and their sim racing road to get to where they are today has been bumpy but without that perseverance and success they wouldn't be in a position to enter the flight sim market, and the reality is everyone who already knows stuff knows what will and won't work with it (at the very least from a basic will it connect without an adapter standpoint)

And I also suspect they didn't hire a flight sim expert to handle social media and answer questions about their flight sim products, and are using existing staff to handle that stuff, so some mistakes here and there are inevitable.

Regardless, time will tell, and it is only a matter of time, some 4-6 weeks for pre orders, til we see if they can walk the walk.

Wwalmis Yeah, it's doable, but you're correct it won't be as hard mechanical stops. Simi...

PiNKSH!T•6/28/24, 9:25 AM

would there be any benefit to using a physical H plate with the software stops too?

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/28/24, 9:27 AM

One thing that could be done for giggles is look at the kitbash ffb shifter, or the diy kit equivalent, and see what is used for those

Obviously the right tool for the job is preferred, but maybe an acceptable compromise on motor type to have something functional for both is possible

It wouln't fit, there should be a narrow (~10mm) shaft that would fit the H plate

This guy Rhino’s (or he will soon for sure)

Old Prospector•6/28/24, 3:07 PM

I have considered all of them because I'm not very good at DIY. But Rhino seems best still.

AndyHill•6/28/24, 3:31 PM

I have no idea which one is the best, but I'd be careful about preordering anything that hasn't been tested properly

AndyHill•6/28/24, 3:31 PM

The way manufacturers report their specifications seems to be a bit of a wild west at the moment and there are absolutely critical factors such as anti-cogging and heat management that can make or break the product

amadeus•6/28/24, 3:48 PM

Moza has a 14 day money back guarantee

amadeus•6/28/24, 3:48 PM

So not a lot of risk if you want to try

walmis•6/28/24, 3:50 PM

I guess that's probably if you buy it from a local distributor, not directly from China

walmis•6/28/24, 3:51 PM

Roundtrip shipping would cost something like 200$+

JIGGAwest•6/28/24, 4:20 PM

How is this working exactly? Is a limiter plate used, software only, or a combination of the two?

amadeus•6/28/24, 4:28 PM

Software update he is working on I believe (at least for the detents and stuff, dunno if he’s using a special limiter plate as well tho)

walmis•6/28/24, 4:39 PM

Yeah, it's all software. Detents can be dynamically created and adjusted for both axes, even by telemFFB

PiNKSH!T•6/28/24, 5:28 PM

is this something you feel is up to being released in the next update?

Spitfire ZX•6/28/24, 6:46 PM

that's a pretty neat use case for FFB that I hadn't considered honestly

Spitfire ZX•6/28/24, 6:47 PM

I only have a cheap G29 ish wheel and didn't care to buy a shifter because I'm much less interested in cars/driving, but if I had a Rhino already...

Bob Bushman•6/28/24, 6:48 PM

Would be more interesting to have this for a ffb throttle with detents. But thats me.

Spitfire ZX•6/28/24, 6:49 PM

some kind of FFB throttle would be neat too, although I would imagine that would require a different form factor

LastRonin•6/28/24, 6:50 PM

Looks like the Virpil FLNKR grip has modules like the VKB Gunfighter Ultimate

LastRonin•6/28/24, 7:04 PM

Not sure what to think about the single stage trigger though

Hats at least look identical (probably even the same ones)

Reed•6/28/24, 7:31 PM

I'd love the ability to change out button and have as many 4 way hats as possible and just 2 push buttons

Reed•6/28/24, 7:32 PM

I hate thet all the grips are going light weight metal. I prefer the lighter alpha grip. Also makes tuning the rhino center point easier than with my heavy warthog grip.

Tianhang's use nylon with CNCed aluminum connector/locking ring (and they have otto-esque push buttons and triggers
Their f-16/a-10c grips are under 400g iirc. excellent choice for FFB bases
