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).

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

Is there a modified 3D model for the TMstickconnector model that works with this machined part?

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.

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:25 PM

Once above ETL, the cyclic and pedals work exactly like in a fixed wing aircraft. (Not literally but in effect)

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:26 PM

Example - The faster you go, the more you need to apply forward stick (or trim forward) to not climb.

TheAmazinGreat•7/23/24, 2:30 PM

Ok, that makes sense. On the collective usage. Is collective generally left alone above ETL or is it in constant adjustment?

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:31 PM

When you want to go faster, you need more collective (or loose altitude) and pitch forward.

TheAmazinGreat•7/23/24, 2:31 PM

And thanks for the help. If you have any suggestions for videos on how to fly I would appreciate it too.

Look at youtube videos from vsTerminus. He made some very good tutorials on the Mi-8 (best helicopter simulation to date imho).

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:33 PM

Other than that - there are plenty of youtube channels lecturing on the aerodynamics of helicopters (real ones)

142nd_Bama•7/23/24, 2:34 PM

Try to look at collective as vertical velocity and cyclic as forward speed, you’re always exchanging alt for speed. I hope this makes sense

142nd_Bama•7/23/24, 2:34 PM

It’s just a big balancing act

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:35 PM

Don't want to be a smartass - but that is kind of misleading. Especially above ETL it is basically the other way round.

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:36 PM

A better way of thinking about it is, collective gives you power (or asks power from the engine) and cyclic shifts the power between climb and speed.

Easy, you accelerate and decent.

TheAmazinGreat•7/23/24, 2:37 PM

Might give the Blackhawk mod a go on DCS. Or do a trial of the Mi-8. I have been trying to learn to fly helicopter in Squad but the flight model is probably way off a real sim. Mostly was trying in Squad because I own it already and to see if I like flying helicopters. Don’t know if it’s just a bad flight model or I am bad pilot but probably it is both.

Hiob•7/23/24, 2:38 PM

you trade altitude for speed, exactly the same as in a fixed wing.

HHiob Easy, you accelerate and decent.

142nd_Bama•7/23/24, 2:38 PM

Correct, now add collective and what happens?
