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

RoboGeoff•8/6/24, 5:11 PM

Oh I’ve never thought of using the Rhino as a center stick either the F16. Did you find you needed the dead zone?

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.

The LT•8/6/24, 6:33 PM

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...

The same reason you're talking Brunner here. This is general.

142nd_BamaOP•8/6/24, 7:00 PM

I have a 200mm extention on my rhino and run springs at about 50/60%. Why in the world would someone want “4x” the power!?

amadeus•8/6/24, 7:01 PM

it's probably not worth engaging these people anymore

Fr4Ged•8/6/24, 7:02 PM

I've heard that Warbird enjoyers want to replicate the real thing.
I wouldn't even know how to mount something that powerful.

AndyHill•8/6/24, 7:02 PM

modern jets have relatively heavy sticks too

AndyHill•8/6/24, 7:02 PM

but the mounting point is good

AndyHill•8/6/24, 7:03 PM

also it's not trivial to install a grip on such a powerful thing

That's right. Don't engage with "these people" unless you're ready to back your smacktalk up with some reasonable criticism.

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 7:05 PM

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.

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 7:08 PM

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.

Fr4Ged•8/6/24, 7:08 PM

yeah, that sounds meaty

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 7:11 PM

It's definitely worth a shot. I like the rhino and the old metal F16 stick I have on it but for the heli it's needs to be further out and closer to the floor. That's where I have it now and needs to be further. Once I get the motion rig going and all the H145 frame and electronics I'll be able to figure it out better

Fr4Ged•8/6/24, 7:14 PM

oh, dang. I want to get the Monstertech chair as well. looks nice!

Alighierian•8/6/24, 7:14 PM

Well, that certainly is one way to do it

142nd_BamaOP•8/6/24, 7:15 PM

I mounted the rhino to the dcs edition simfab via the metal plate from my old warthog and it fits perfect. That’s with a vpc 200mm extention.

FFr4Ged oh, dang. I want to get the Monstertech chair as well. looks nice!

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 7:16 PM

It's a wonderful chair, I bought it years ago. Extremely comfortable. I waited until black Friday. At the time it was 15% off and free shipping. It doubles for me working in my office doing engineering work but I decided to build a dedicated H145 Sim

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/6/24, 8:26 PM

As nice as the MonsterTech chair is I have 2 complaints. 1) It's very expensive 2) It takes a long time to ship (almost rivals the Rhino). I had to go with something else to use, or I would have one myself

(basically I'm really jealous lmao)

Disclaimer: I've not kept up with MonsterTech shipping estimates, perhaps they have significantly reduced since the last time I checked

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 8:32 PM

I agree it's definitely expensive. When I bought mine it was just over 500 now they are 789 + plus shipping last I checked. If I had to buy one today I would because it's nice to sit in for a long period of time. I sit sometimes 8 hours in it doing work for my business and never feel it's uncomfortable. I had a few office chairs double the price with mesh etc and I can't say the same.

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 8:33 PM

That's a nice setup! You have your rhino set up close to how I do.

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/6/24, 8:33 PM

Yeah I see you have the one with caster wheels, so your usecase totally makes sense. I wanted the aluminum profile based one to hard mount to cockpit. I think it was just as expensive though, and took just as long or longer to ship.

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/6/24, 8:34 PM

I have a Secret Labs Titan chair I sit in for 15h+ daily and find it quite comfortable, so my use case is a bit different, since I don't need a new office chair

HH145Rotor-Sims That's a nice setup! You have your rhino set up close to how I do.

142nd_BamaOP•8/6/24, 8:34 PM

I’m very pleased with it. I thought I would never get it low enough but it could almost come up some…the best thing is you can feel all the vibrations in the rudders and seat!

Jon (Bounty_V)•8/6/24, 8:35 PM

That's the chair from Amazon right? The one that does cut outs in all their chairs after enough of us requested it?
