In quite ok with it not being any more powerful.

Certainly was when the stick snapped back and whacked me in the nuts..

does anyone know approximately what number on the Rhino waiting list triggers the request for payment?

Ogre•7/18/24, 1:22 PM

Yeah I think it will be fine, was just wondering if it would be something I could modify or change in the future. How comparable would the max resistance be to a warthog stick

For my rhino it was something like 4 to go? Was all manual via DM by walmis to confirm final things, then he sent an invoice

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/18/24, 2:25 PM

But I'm in the first 100, so idk what has changed in the last 530+

Bob BushmanOP•7/18/24, 2:38 PM

I got an email and bot message about placing my actual order, fired that off through the regular form.

Payment notice then came shortly after, which I promptly did and I got shipping notification that day.

Think i went from initial notice through payment and receiving shipping notice all in span of like 3-4 hours.

It's been like 300 more since then though.

Bob BushmanOP•7/18/24, 2:42 PM

Exactly which unit shipped that comes with I'm not certain.

Looking back over the chat log with the bot I had 39 units ahead of me and just bam.

Bob BushmanOP•7/18/24, 2:43 PM

That’s the Rhino hitting its human interface “emergency stop” button

You don’t just push the Rhino’s buttons.. If you’re not careful she will push yours!!

I've found a good resource for making 5mm HTD profile pulleys - it uses the MKCad Library for OnShape. https://appstore.onshape.com/apps/Manufacturers%20Models/2ZT7X5D646R3LM3ZND7LGBTYRVM4SVH6CDDGM6I=/description

You can specify all the parameters you need and you can export the model to anything you like. I output to SolidWorks, then load it into Fusion 360 for special features like bearing pockets.

What do you want to drive with the printed pulley?

f15sim•7/19/24, 9:07 PM

The above is an idler. I'm using a 74 tooth pulley as the main drive output. The complete system looks like this:

Hiob•7/19/24, 9:09 PM

So it isn’t intended to go on the motor shaft…

I was worried for a second - not following the conversation from the beginning….

f15sim•7/19/24, 9:09 PM

No. The motor shaft has a machined aluminum 15 tooth pulley on it.

f15sim•7/19/24, 9:10 PM

The motor to pulley belt is 15mm, the pulley to flight controls belt is 12mm. The two idlers in the upper left attach to existing structure that's too narrow to pass a 15mm belt.

Thundersmoke•7/20/24, 3:29 AM

There were like 100 to go when I got my “action required” email. That was just a few weeks ago. It moved so fast after that and I got it earlier this week. It caught me off guard since I also needed to order a mounting plate from SimFab. But happy to report I got it installed today and first flight in DCS Apache was awesome.

Booker•7/20/24, 5:32 PM

Is anyone aware of an all parts included FFB kit for the Thrustmaster TPDR pedals? I’m not really good with projects and I don’t have a 3D printer so I’d rather not try any of the projects I’ve seen. I’d be interested in an all parts included kit.

Stryker990•7/20/24, 9:38 PM

doubt it but anybody found a fix or mitigation for the DCS Fulcrums AP being super unstable with the rhino/FFB?

mattback•7/21/24, 5:06 AM

i got my rhino two days ago, my virpil f14 stick today, and got to use it tonight for the first time

mattback•7/21/24, 5:07 AM

i am so impressed by how easily everything just worked, and worked well

mattback•7/21/24, 5:07 AM

this is 1000% opposite compared to my experience with my pimax crystal

mattback•7/21/24, 5:08 AM

i have some questions about setting up the buttons and cancelling out for example, the axis buttons and what not since if i understand correctly, the rhino cannot handle twist axis ? (yes i am getting rudder pedals next)

Bob BushmanOP•7/21/24, 8:08 AM

It can handle extra axes from the grips, I just don't think anyone here doesn't already have rudder pedals

I can easily recommend the crosswinds, especially with the damper kit.

(And possible future ffb mod)

Hiob•7/21/24, 9:18 AM

Regardless if FFB or not. Pedals are a huge win over a twist axis.

Bob BushmanOP•7/21/24, 12:36 PM

I'd honestly be more interested an ffb throttle than pedals, but i suppose I'm solo there.

Hiob•7/21/24, 1:09 PM

I think winwing and moza have some haptic engine in their throttles, but I‘m certainly not the target group for that. Can’t see much use in it.

Bob BushmanOP•7/21/24, 1:14 PM

If I wanted haptics I'd jury rig up one my GF's old dildos, or put a buttkicker under it.

Nah im more interested in the possibility of variable damper forces, detents (yes not currently in the rhino software).
