HI 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.
Fthat is true, yeah.
I am using 200mm extension as well but still am not running it on 100%

HI 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.
Fyeah, that sounds meaty
TI 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.

HIt'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
Foh, dang. I want to get the Monstertech chair as well. looks nice!
AWell, that certainly is one way to do it
1I 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.
HIt'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
HDo you have pic you could share?
1Lemme check
1Thought I did but apparently I don’t, I’ll get one when I get around it though
JAs 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)
(basically I'm really jealous lmao)JDisclaimer: I've not kept up with MonsterTech shipping estimates, perhaps they have significantly reduced since the last time I checked

HI 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.
HThat's a nice setup! You have your rhino set up close to how I do.
JYeah 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.
JI 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
1I’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!
JThat's the chair from Amazon right? The one that does cut outs in all their chairs after enough of us requested it?
HIt's funny because I'm going to buy another one without casters for my H145 build because I don't want to cannibalize my office chair. The setup is different with the recline function.
JIf I ever make a second cockpit, to have a cockpit dedicated to flying and one to driving, that's a chair I'll seriously consider because there are so few on the market and that is a very solid price
Yeah the way the profile one mounts is totally different. I remember paying attention to measurements because I needed to know something for some reason and that difference really stood out to me

A~1-6 weeks for the MFC currently, depending on production, currently stock, etc etc.
HThere is one on Amazon , pretty cost effective but I don't want the racing look. I like the MTS because it tapers up to the top
JThe one Bama showed in their pics is what I was wondering if is from Amazon
JMaybe one day replying to multiple messages in one message will be possible, instead I quoted none of them
AMaybe in the same update that makes search useful
AOne can dream, I guess
JSearch on Mobile is so bad 
JSearch on Mobile should be renamed to "search for a PC"
SDo you have the pedals mounted off the ground, on the same bar as the Rhino?
SI would've thought that would be quite top heavy
Wim happy to see im not the only one forced to mount the fan on the outside 
1Sorry didn’t know that question was from me. I bought it from simfab in Florida. I highly recommend it for vr users! It might be available on Amazon too?
1lol yes I finally got tired of fighting it
Wmy e-stop is just too big to fit the fan, so i put it on the outside
HYeah I put alum. Blocks underneath but I can quick release under the chair and move it out of the way if needed.
1I think that was my issue also!
WWhat’s up fellas, quick question: are there any settings I can use that’ll keep the stick centered using force trim in DCS helicopters? It seems to sag away from the trimmed center.
WSo I hit trim and remove my hand, the stick sags away from the center just enough that I have to keep my hand there. I noticed it mostly with the Apache.
1There’s a setting in effects, I think “balanced spring” is what it’s called, I’m new to the rhino, that helps that! Also in the spring effect there’s a tab you can check that’ll use sprung force to help hold it in place.
1I had issues as well getting it dialed in with a 200mm ext with a heavy grip…
Aa continuation of what bama said above, are you running an extension? how heavy is your grip? Also how strong are the spring forces you are using? The apache forces i find are quite strong in practice, but also don't have an extension. also do you have adaptive re-centering on? that's a good thing to be running as well I find
NThese guys are steering you in the right direction. Balance Spring will get you close, the adaptive recentering is the final icing that will keep the stick always centered. There's a section in the manual that covers both.. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YL5DLkiTxlaNx_zKHEYSs25PjmGtQ6_WZDk58_SGt8Y/edit#heading=h.9yc6t8idkb39
