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

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

f15simOP•7/19/24, 9:09 PM

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

f15simOP•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.

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 Bushman•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 Bushman•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 Bushman•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).

Hiob•7/21/24, 1:40 PM

Yeah, that makes more sense to me. Though I start with applying the general idea to a collective. (for now)

Lead times might be a bit all over the place since FSExpo about four weeks ago, it jumped about 180 since then, and 68 since yesterday. Since I started checking regularly on the second week of June it’s jumped 264.

Alighierian•7/22/24, 8:24 PM

Went from #1484 down to #1221 already.

Amusingly enough, the estimated remaining time (~196d at this rate) is still pretty close to the ~208d median.

RoboGeoff•7/23/24, 2:20 PM

I'm coming from a Virpil T50CM2 base. I needed a curve of 20 to fly the Apache. I know curves mess up trimming with the Rhino, so can you apply one to the VPForce software?

TheAmazinGreat•7/23/24, 2:23 PM

Never flown a helicopter but I am curious. When you pitch forward and return the stick to center does the helicopter keep its pitch point or does it return to neutral? Do you have to apply rearward pitch to level the helicopter?

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:24 PM

FFB for Helos is great. But in an unspectacular way. It is more what is taken away than what is added. It's really odd. All the big aerodynamic and g-forces in jets and warbirds are really impressive - still helos are the biggest winners of FFB for me.
