Quest3 has better lenses, displays are worse, also it does always use compression, while G2 isn't. However due to lenses being pancake instead of fresnel (g2) Quest3 can have some edge over G2 - Q3 is not not losing sharpness outside center of view while not moving your head, but just eyes. Just for clarifying. Pimax looks better, but it does have QA/Support issues, so it ends up bit of lottery. However alternatives are much more expensive

@SR-FWinger[73]_David @kaltokri I'm curious since I just don't see it in the images posted, what about the control board? Im assuming that is also in one of the kits? Unless im missing sometihng..

I think the control boards are on the motors, with a logic board handling connections etc.

kaltokri•8/4/24, 6:55 PM

Control board is part of the motor kit, which must be ordered at VPForce separately.

Are the assembly instructions available to look at currently? I wanted to get a visual on what's involved? Thanks.

Ithergames•8/4/24, 7:18 PM

Does anyone know of a source for an Apache cyclic handle that will work with the vprhino?

Bob Bushman•8/4/24, 7:22 PM

The virpil one might be the only one, not entirely sure its fully supported though.

Yeah. I got WW F18 stick right now which is OK. I was wanting to compliment the setup to match with collective.

Bob Bushman•8/4/24, 7:54 PM

I got like four 5- way hats a 3- way on the side, four regular buttons, and two triggers, one with dual stage, the other with a flip up.

It's not 1:1 of anything, but it certainly gives options.

Kaidrick•8/5/24, 3:26 AM

So the printed base comes in DIY parts, and I need to purchase VPFroce motor kit in advance, is that right? Also, could you shed some light on the differences between the motors sold by VPForce? Those are 57BLF03, 86BLF04 and 86BLF03. Which one should I go for?

Can I buy a power supply unit at VPForce website? I didn't see a PSU in the order request form. If they don't have it, what specifications should I look for? Thanks

FarFutureFox•8/5/24, 4:52 PM

I see some people make collectives with the Rhino parts. What would be the advantages of using FFB for a collective, apart from some effects like airframe vibration, weapons and touchdown?

amadeus•8/5/24, 5:04 PM

Probably really nice and configurable damping?

FarFutureFox•8/5/24, 5:07 PM

True. I’m considering making one for this reason. It’s not that much more costly than a good non-FFB collective.

Majik•8/5/24, 5:09 PM

Some helos, like the H145 have auto moving collectives as well when in autopilot

amadeus•8/5/24, 5:14 PM

I don’t think that’s supported yet tho, fwiw

slowmover•8/5/24, 5:16 PM

Ch-47F should also have a moving collective

I am also thinking to buy another kit for making a collective and rudder pedals

Number481•8/5/24, 6:17 PM

The AFCS implementation for the MSFS H145/160 from HPG is complete and functional for all 3 axes (Cyclic, Pedals, Collective). However it is a very unique case only made possible by direct involvement of the developers and external controls we have in MSFS via SimConnect.

The cyclic/pedals are not a simple "follow the axis" implementation. There were several key things were needed to implement it including specific telemetry indicating the state of the AFCS trim system and specific LVARS that could be set to indicate whether the axis is moving by user input.

The collective was actually the easiest to implement. If the user is not pressing the collective trim release, we simply do not send any axis data to the sim and just "follows the axis".

All that said, DCS does not provide the same external controls, or telemetry that would be needed to pull off a similar implementation.

From what I have read, the ED team intends to implement AFCS on the cyclic, but I would not expect we will be able to externally implement pedals and/or collective just due to DCS limitations.

BadKarma•8/5/24, 7:49 PM

Hi all, I just saw the Moza AB9 review and it said that when you use a Virpil stick some of the axis are recognised as buttons. Is the same true for the VPForce? I currently have a VKB installed as right stick and also thinking of adding a FFB center mounted one with either VKB or Virpil.

LeLv30_Superbus•8/5/24, 8:44 PM

Rhino supports Virpil grips fully. VKB doesn't need support, only an adapter for attachment (remember include it in your order); you will use your blackbox, there is no electrical connection.
