I’m sure I’ll have a really hard time then because I’ll be using a vpc 200mm extention with a warthog grip, about as heavy as it gets…
DOnly @walmis can answer that
BWhy would you mess with the calibration values!?
This is what virtual endstops and axis scaling is for.

HSame - no problem. The Rhino can handle it - the values needed may just be bigger than with a more short and lightweight grip.
RI found the Rhino is great for the F-14 in finding that best speed for a turning fight. The feedback tells you where you need to keep the stick. The only problem, is that it seems to heat the motors up a lot. It's the only thing I've done which turns on the cooling fan every time
HVirtual endstops don't feel good to me and calibration values are just that - values. No problem in changing them if you understand how it works.
SAh nice, looking forward to the new version then!
LQuick tip hold the stick when you fire up the Merlin on the ground your 
will thank you 
will thank you 
AUnless you really like playing whack fuck, that is.
Awho wouldn't
TThe adrenaline boost would kick in and help you fly better when you know your is on the line
is on the lineTguess I'm not green anymore lol

SEveryone is always on about motion platforms. How come I don't see anything about G Seats apart from that one guy 5 years ago?

This is the introduction of the Motion Integrated G-Seat, my new invention in motion simulation! This device is a combination of a motion platform and a G-Seat, able to provide an unprecedented sensation of motion and acceleration while driving or flying simulated vehicles.

Nobviously probably not 100% realistic, but I like rhino with the DCS viper
Nit's the only setup with which I don't feel ED's stupid laggy breakout force curve anymore
Nflies real smooth and the ffb effects are nice in moderation
NBut if you have a FSSB stick already, maybe you will have a different experience
THi. What is the general consensus of adding an extension? I'm looking at adding about 120mm to my Rhino with my WW F-16EX grip. I'm mostly a DCS flyer, FW and RW, some MSFS.
BIt's not a big issue, but you get more force without it.
So if possible I'd like not to.
I use a z extension myself, from virpil mostly to get the grip closer to me, but it also builds 111mm.
Ideally I would just built the unit up, and moved it closer, but it would conflict with my seat and/or myself.

BAnything much more than 12cm would cost a lot of force, and the gimbal itself is constructed in such a way as it comes with 10cm extension already, so using 10(ish)cm extension you in effect have 20cm.
Ai've always been very curious to try a gseat, but yeah, also curious if anyone here as ever built one
RI’d love to try it.
Awhat i'm also curious about is how much they depend on VR to create the experience, or if they would work ok with a monitor
SA few years ago the most I saw was for racing sims. I'd think they'd work good VR or flat
JI built bergison's g seat and am now making some updates to it.
SNice, let us know how it goes
DCost, but also people use belt tensioners cause its cheaper and add a haptic pad or transducer

RHINO #0646 Has Shipped!Jregarding the G seat, i've never used a different platform so I cant do a direct comparison, but I do like the seat, there are pros and cons with it - but overall I had blast building it and learned a lot along the way. Essentially the Bergison's G seat replicates heave, sway, and surge. You can mix in a little roll, pitch, and yaw - but in most cases it's not really necessary. The seat flaps and belt do give the sensation of the g forces although its probably more effective replicating strong positive g's than strong negative g's. This really isnt a problem if you fly the aircraft properly and invert rather than placing strong negative g's on the aircraft which i'm told pilots and airframes like to avoid anyway. What i didnt like about the first version of hte chair was that there was some slack in the rods and motors when direction was reversed and the movement seemed a little jerky for my tastes. The modifications being done now (different rod connection type, and servos instead of dc motors) should address these issues. If indeed that's the case when I'm done, I'll love the seat for high-g flight.
JBTW the seat is also a ton of fun when making an approach with a small plane in turbulence and heavy crosswinds (MSFS/Xplane)
JI also mounted a home grown buttkicker to the seat, but honestly i get better feedback through the MFG FFB pedal mod I just did from hiob. its really fantastic. I'll probably be able to make the butt kicker a little more subtle because of that after the seat rebuild which may improve its overall performance. Still waiting on my rhino (I'm in the low 100's now, whoo hoo!) I suspect that will also add quite a bit of immersion.
A@j9murphy Do you know of any popular/working air bladder g-seat mods for a bucket seat?
JI do not unfortunately. I looked briefly before I decided to build this but couldnt find anything I liked. All of the motion guru's hang out here though, you could probably ask that in one of the community forums. https://www.xsimulator.net/

SHello mates. Has anyone a good profile for F4E dcs world for a cyclic with 30-40cm extension?
1I’m brand new to the rhino but I tried one of the profiles from knowledge thread last night and it completely screwed up my stuff, use caution! I could’ve done something wrong but it changed my stick calibration everything…..
Pthe profile will have the calibration info for that base with it
Pso yeah it'll mess with your own calibration
Ltry this if the sled's pitch sensitivity is too weird
Land keep trimming
1So sharing vpconf files are a bad idea?
PI don't have rhino in & config app open atm but can you copy paste your own calibration numbers somewhere then load the new profile & copy paste you calibration back in? not exactly smooth operation but better than recalibrating if you don't want to.
11Although I used it and finally got it to seemingly working and love it
PI just have a few generic profiles I use then tweak each new module from there as I fly it. Have a generic profile each for; fbw jet, non-fbw jet, warbird, helo, ga. Load the profile & tweak as you fly it.
