If anyone didn't see it, I posted a guide in #

suggestions with instructions on how to get the Rhino working with Mechwarrior 5 -- and if you watch the Limitless VR vid I mention in it, you can even get the game working in VR with a motion rig, haptic seatpad, buttkicker, etc. Extremely unexpected and epic experience.

dual Rhinos would rock for mech warrior

Wwalmis Oh yeah, definitely

BigBANGtheory•7/29/24, 4:41 PM

nice, I've pre-ordered the FLANKR grip last week

thanks for clarifying that and good choice I reckon @Pikas62

I really dig the feel of pushing the throttle forward and back for it, especially because I have torso twist bound to my pedals. So for me keeping throttle solely for forward/backward inputs makes sense. But I would be curious if dual stick worked as well as an input for both of those axes.

I wouldn't mind using a left-hand rhino in MW5 if it could mirror the legs orientation in its X-axis absolute position.

Hi,
Is there a way to define a dead zone?

I see there is an exposed belt, anybody experience any pinching with that? Just wondering if its a potential hazard for kids fingers

I haven't had an issue with it. I think it isn't much of a problem as it doesn't move very quickly, but there are pulley covers here if you are concerned.

Ah, I see, I’ve downloaded the latest files for later, I don’t have a 3D printer but I’ll look into getting them made when the time comes. Thanks.

MOZA AB9 Force Feedback Flight Sim Base REVIEW | DCS World / IL:2

In this video I do a comprehensive review of the Moza AB9 Force Feedback flight sim base. From grip compatibility, heat testing, newton-meter validation and software, I try to cover it all so you can make up your mind of this is the product for you! The Moza AB9 is a new to market Force Feedback base for Flight Simulation gaming.

Did anyone track down the motor that visible @ 8:30 yet?

Scarlet•7/31/24, 9:34 AM

I'm so worried moza is going to sour everyone's opinion on mainstream FFB. Hopefully it's just a rushed product and not a lazy one

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/31/24, 9:46 AM

https://youtu.be/dGcaVr-4I68?si=MmZXmSwspEaXH7Gw&t=2137 timestamped he addresses Rhino comparison and points out where it is vastly superior (Telem FFB) and where all the various makers will need to really invest in to compete on the market.

I think the takeaway is:

The king is ~~dead~~ live and well, long live he still!

Anthony•7/31/24, 9:57 AM

Even ignoring the early hiccups the Mozzarella seems to have (far too many for a product of that cost), it still won’t be close to the Rhino

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/31/24, 10:04 AM

Yeah nothing really suprirsing

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/31/24, 10:04 AM

But considering it is their very first flight sim product ever, I can be more lenient of its quality.

If it was someone in the industry for years like Virpil, it would be insulting

Anthony•7/31/24, 10:14 AM

I mean, still though

Anthony•7/31/24, 10:14 AM

Not registering additional axes (break lever, mini stick, etc) for a base that expensive?

Anthony•7/31/24, 10:15 AM

That’s a bit weak

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/31/24, 10:54 AM

They did step back on the advertisement claims of working with any grip

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:04 AM

the heat test wasn't very thorough

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:05 AM

also the surface temperature of the motor (housing?) isn't the interesting number

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:06 AM

several minutes of (not quite continuous) hard pulling does happen if you for example practise dogfighting in DCS

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:06 AM

hour+ of continuous pushing happens when you fly Dr.1 in Il-2

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:07 AM

the motors do seem to produce fairly little heat, which is quite impressive, but we don't really know what that means in practise

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:07 AM

also a closed design like that without fans might have real problems dissipating heat if you ever do run into issues

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:09 AM

does the moza software give you temps and have they said anything about heat protection?

AAndyHill the heat test wasn't very thorough

Anthony•7/31/24, 11:46 AM

I’m really surprised that there’s no temperature readout in the software

Anthony•7/31/24, 11:47 AM

Walmis pointed out in the comments that measuring heat from the outside/that material won’t give a useful reading, so it’s really a matter of “who knows how hot it gets?”

AndyHill•7/31/24, 11:48 AM

surely the motors have built-in sensors and protections, right?
