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)OP•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_Bama•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)OP•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?

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 8:35 PM

It'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.

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•8/6/24, 8:36 PM

If 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

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 8:38 PM

There 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

Jon (Bounty_V)OP•8/6/24, 8:38 PM

The one Bama showed in their pics is what I was wondering if is from Amazon

SamNFTY•8/6/24, 9:13 PM

Do you have the pedals mounted off the ground, on the same bar as the Rhino?

SamNFTY•8/6/24, 9:13 PM

I would've thought that would be quite top heavy

Sorry 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?

SSamNFTY Do you have the pedals mounted off the ground, on the same bar as the Rhino?

H145Rotor-Sims•8/6/24, 10:13 PM

Yeah I put alum. Blocks underneath but I can quick release under the chair and move it out of the way if needed.

142nd_Bama•8/6/24, 10:42 PM

I think that was my issue also!

WhereNoLarkFlew•8/6/24, 11:23 PM

What’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.

WhereNoLarkFlew•8/6/24, 11:24 PM

So 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.

142nd_Bama•8/7/24, 12:17 AM

There’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.

142nd_Bama•8/7/24, 12:18 AM

I had issues as well getting it dialed in with a 200mm ext with a heavy grip…

amadeus•8/7/24, 12:21 AM

a 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

Number481•8/7/24, 12:37 AM

These 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

Reed•8/7/24, 12:44 AM

When you all are setting up balance spring are you doing while centered or moving to extremes?

Reed•8/7/24, 12:47 AM

I’ve been running a 5% on xy with good success. My grip isn’t heavy just have a very long extension so need a little extra help

Negative mate, All you can do is control the spring force with the dial for SC, pretty handy though. Games so far are DCS, FS2020, IL2, Xplane

nubbins•8/7/24, 5:24 AM

you new to the F16? This is inherent to the DCS viper and why it sucks ass to fly compared to BMS on regular joysticks

nubbins•8/7/24, 5:25 AM

but i'm surprised you find it so noticeable with Rhino. imo Rhino is the only way to make the DCS viper tolerable, maybe it's the throw range and smoothness, I don't really mind it

Solution is a custom axis curve in DCS.

Vakarian•8/7/24, 8:54 AM

What has helped for me is to check the "Override spring" in the TelemFFB. With that option checked the Viper now behaves quite nicely

[

[OR] SerGeant•8/7/24, 10:43 AM

The problem with the Viper in DCS ist the hard coded Deadzone which is essential for FSSB. But it is a bad thing for throw sticks. But ED translated the FSSB deadzone 1:1 into the throw. The only way to eliminate this is to create a custom curve in which you do the opposite of a deadzone. Literally you have to skip the deadzone area around the center, so the axis start at the point where you have control surface input.

With this and adaptive recentering in VPforceConfigurator you are fine

kaltokri•8/7/24, 11:55 AM

I use a reworked HP power supply unit. You need ~19V with ~10A. Best with a 5,5-2,5 mm connector.
Some people use Meanwell LRS 350/24 PSU. But then you need to build your own enclosure and cable for it.
