No you do not. Other people have already spoken about it who purchased the unit and have physically used it. There are people who have both the Rhino and FFBeast and you read about both sides.
I agree there is no reason to be aggressive. A product is a product but one can draw their own conclusions if they wish based on other people's experiences. That's actually intelligently because the 1st iteration of anything is rarely remarkable.
I am sorry, there is nothing intelligent in that exchange. Dude bashed the product, didn't mention any particular critical issues with it and jumped to conclusions based on what exactly? You're grasping at straws here...

M8 no one is going to care about what you have to say if you are here just trying to be edgy & rip on the Rhino telling us how much better what you have is. Did you design & create you own FFB device from scratch like the Rhino or FFBeast or the Laserwing? No you came along & got to choose what pre designed base suited you best & went with that one. Moza was not a very well thought out product, they recently stated they want to concentrate first on the side stick ability/compatibility of the base, a frigging ffb as a side stick why? Why not make it a fssb they have the experience from their brake sensors. Their software is just ridiculously lite atm & as was stated more of a glorified haptic device. The whole thing from the base & their idea of implementation to the software just seems like they didn't really think it through much before committing to a pre order state & reviews. It seriously seems like they didn't even talk to someone who plays flight sims.
FFBeast looks like a really cool ffb base, the software needs to catch up a bit is all it needs. My only real concern about the ffbeast is that ppl might actually get hurt not understanding the forces at play with some of those builds (it's not like a ~30nm wheel that is fixed & only spins in one axis the ffb with a grip on an extension at the same ~30nm is a bloody war club). I don't think an estop mounted to the base like with the Rhino would be the best idea unless mounted so it's activated with the feet. The fact it's only diy is a bit of a put off for a lot of ppl but there are kits being offered out there. Comparing the Rhino, FFBeast & Brunner Pro stuff to me it's all just for different use cases Rhino is good for a lot of different mounting solutions from desk mounts to sim pits, FFBeast is more for sim pits up to dedicated cockpits imo & obviously Brunner Pro level stuff is for.... well pro level stuff. Laserwing I haven't looked at in a long time.
Ok, so I have some pretty solid feedback on the seat belt tensioner. I am already using what I call, 'passive tensioning' as I have a motion simulator, I basically have elastic straps that connect to the base of the rig and then to my seat belt, when the rig lifts this in turn tensions my belt. I have tried a seat belt tensioner in another mates rig a few years ago and I honestly didn't feel like it was significantly better than my setup. What I would absolutely kill for is the 'Gseat' https://www.simxperience.com/shop/sx-gs5-001-gs-5-g-seat-711, if only it was compatible with FS2020 and DCS. I have actually flown in a multi million dollar sim trainer with gforce pads that actuated in the seat, blew my mid how realistic the gforces felt. Having said this though if you do not have a motion rig, this belt tensioner might be a fantastic addition. Here are some pictures of my current setup:

I'm not grasping at straws... Just as with new cars and new tech, sometimes it's intelligent to stand back and wait for a couple of iterations before you decide to purchase said product. Price generally reduces and most of the bugs are worked out which goes back to my point that it's smart to wait it out a bit and see where the product goes and I have no issue with people who want the latest tech. It's made for enjoyment and there is isn't any reason to bash a product. We are all here for the same reason that we enjoy force feedback and it's fun to see manufacturers compete with each other because ultimately it leads to a better product that benefits the consumer.
Does anyone here fly the F-16 in dcs and if so do you have a pretty sizeable deadzone around the center? I cant figure it out and i do not have one set in game... Thanks
Way to back out of it... A round of applause is in order. You know what else is intelligent and smart? Keeping quiet if you aren't ready to back up your claims of the software being "bad". Which, by the way, it isn't. Have a good day!
The software issues are clearly spoken about in the discord. No one needs to invest time to recite something that was already discussed. If someone wants to know they can do their own research. He did give you a clue and specifically told you to compare the range of effects the TelemFFB can produce. It's really not hard. No one owes you anything, not an explanation, data and nor needs to answer any of your questions. Take care and be well.
What "issues" exactly? Is that somehow an excuse to call the software bad and call it a day? I'm flying the thing daily for years now. No one has time to recite but has time to crap on another project? Right. Btw, I did my research, mate. I assure you. Also have built both bases and have first hand experience with both. That "range of effects" point you're trying to argue is something you never experience on a real aircraft stick, that's why it wasn't there and wasn't given priority. Unlike some local chill dudes, I am not shitting on other products or being racist. So there you have it.
You are really pationate about the FFBeast..No idea why you are so defensive about it, perhaps you know the company owner personally..People want certain effects regardless if they are in real life or not and not just pertaining to flight simulation but you knew that, didn't you... It's clear that Rhino offers more in this arena and that's great for them, more developers and manufactures I'm sure are taking note. Speaking of which, if you are very happy with the FFB Beast then why are you in this discord? My guess is you probably do not own either one but I'm sure we can believe you since you say you do because well, we all believe everything on the internet now don't we... You realize we are talking about a joysticks basically a toy for games....again take care and don't play the know it all game again...
I fly only heli and have an extension on it but it really needs to be double the length as set it up in a real heli placing the rhino near the floor. That's when you need a good amount of force when you start adding leverage.
I bought the Max Flight H145 heli setup and plan to attach the extension to the Rhino and mounting the rhino close to under the floor to have as close to the same ergonomics as the actual heli. I'm hoping the force will be enough.
I don't care about your feelings either. I'll argue about what I feel like arguing. I didn't start it either, so take your frustration to the ones who did.
