DFA18 - catapult in DCS, Huey in DCS, MSFS and GA
DAnd so much more !
HIron Jets like Phantom, Mirage F1 or Warbirds like P-47. Make sure to use TelemFFB for the full experience
DIn fact, landings abd takeoff are really fun with FFB. Or gunner 
*Hm... tried Hornet in MSFS... why zero resistance on pitch? 
*Gues I'll really have to RTFM on FFB Rhino... right?

HWell, you have to dial in some basics in the Rhino config software. And then I would recommend using TelemFFB as well. The native FFB support in MSFS is…… sparse…..
Btheir statement " ("FAA FAR-PART60 LEVEL 5 Joystick Control Loading (Force) Modeling"). " is really marketing mumbo jumbo. here is the definition of level 5 in the eyes of the FAA.
A device that may have an open airplane-specific flight deck area, or an enclosed airplane-specific flight deck; generic aerodynamic programming; at least one operating system; and control loading that is representative of the simulated airplane only at an approach speed and configuration. All displays may be flat/LCD panel representations or actual representations of displays in the aircraft. Primary and secondary flight controls (e.g., rudder, aileron, elevator, flaps, spoilers/speed brakes, engine controls, landing gear, nosewheel steering, trim, brakes) must be physical controls. All other controls, switches, and knobs may be touch sensitive activation.
now if they were level 6 id be more interested in the comment

一yeah that minimum requirement is not fancy I know..I was just saying they have gained some, hopefully better know-how over some of the competitors, from building their C172 and DA40 FTD for Civil Aviation Flight University of China..like knowing what data is needed, how to get and process them, what needs to be simulated(for example, breakout force), and some other details needed to be taking care of(not for software but for example, how high the control needs to be mounted/mounting solution ). I mean, the simulation side of experience should be better than that of their other software..but who knows, it's aft all ww
BDo want to point out that being skeptical doenst mean i hope they dont succeed. If they pull of even a MVP as having more hardware on the market will make it worth developers time to add support in current and future titles
BMSFS doesnt have native support. you will need telemffb for anything other that 'static' force settings
CIs there anything that can be done about multicrew aircraft in the control missmatch department?
Every time I switch seats in the 64, the aircraft is no more.

HI would assume that is a DCS problem specific to Apache, because in other multicrew aircraft I flew lately, I didn’t have the slightest issues switching seats (namely C-101 and Mi-8).
CCorrected my issue.
Turns out my dumb ass reversed an axis in dcs and not in the VPF software, creating an equal but opposite pitch reaction in the stick FFB/DCS.
It is now corrected and seems to be working as intended.

AIn had this out of the box, glad you got it fixed!
TI’m looking for a Z extension for vkb mcg old version with the 3 plate connecter with screw lock anyone know if its out there?
TIt had 2 points of adjustable angles I believe I’ve seen a few different kinds on here.

WQuestion someone had in Reddit about how the Rhino works in Flight Simulator 2020.
“In regards to AutoPilot operation IRL you wouldn't see the stick move once the AP is on, but the system is constantly trimming for a constant state. So does it replicate this as when it's time to click off the AP the aircraft is trimmed to neutral like a regular stick would be too? I don't know why it wouldn't be but was curious for those who own it.”

VMaybe a dumb question, but it there a way to make the Rhino recognize which DCS module is running and switch to a specific profile, like SRS does?

VThanks! After I posted, I dug into the TelemFFB part of the manual and found it. Havn't installed TelemFFB yet, that will be todays project.
VNew question: can the Force Trim function be used to apply stick trim in pitch only to the DCS P-51 (or other warbird), in order to get stick following trim effect? My idea is to apply it only to pitch and not use the regular DCS pitch trim. Guess I'll have to give it a try - IRL I fly Pawnees and gliders where the stick position is a strong indicator of trim setting in pitch, and the lack of stick movement with trim in the P-51 is really annoying.
NFor DCS, I think you should be able to use the "override trim" function in configurator. It sort of acts like a sticky for the hardware trim hat bindings that are configrued. Just be aware that by moving the physical axis, all of that movement will be translated into virtual movement of the axis as well (probably making the "trim" way too sensitive).
AIt’s been a minute since I flew the p-51, but pretty sure the stick followed the trim :thonk:
HI can‘t tell from the top of my head, but I would be very surprised if it didn’t. Only fly-by-wire jets don’t physically move the stick with trim as far as I‘m aware of.
NAFAIK, yes, the stick does move with trim in the 51, but in this case I interpreted "lack" to mean amount rather than absence 
VI need to get TelemFFB up and running and try trim again. Probably my newbness showing.
VAnd how does Adaptive Recentering fit in? My test is to setup an out of trim condition: slow, hold stick aft to maintain speed and altitude. Then trim aft to get rid of aft pull needed to hold speed/alt. Stick should not move, but trim should remove pressure until it will stay at trimmed position when released. This obviously cannot be done with a basic spring stick.

VThe second exerpt from the manual suggests that warbirds do not support stick center offset/stick offset for trimming.
VAnd from personal experience you really have to lean on the stick to get them going fast downhill! I have had the stick trimmed fully forward in a Pawnee trying to get it down at close to Vne, and the stick is WAY forward! Sure it's not a P-51 (I wish) but the basics are the same.
NAdaptive recentering (and "balance spring") are features of the rhino that work to keep the stick centered when hands off (wherever the center might be, since it can move), particularly when a heavy grip and/or offset extension cause the stick to drag off center.
The trim following you are talking about is a function of the "spring" FFB effect. When you adjust the trim, the center point moves, which physically moves the stick. Adaptive recentering will help keep the stick in the exact spring center when you let go.
AFAIK, most warbirds in DCS support tirm following (at least for elevator axis)

CThinking about getting a Rhino kit. Would this power supply work in terms of specs and connector fitting?:

KI use a HP laptop psu with the exact same data and it is working well.
SMy understanding is that also aircraft which trim horizontal stabilizer instead of elevator don’t move the stick or yoke while trimming. For example bf109 of DCS birds.
HI see what you mean. I have honestly no idea how that would affect the stick. Probably only very slightly if anything …..
SI tried it in C185 which is the only aircraft I have flown which trims stabilizer. The yoke always ended up roughly in the same position when trimmed to different speeds. I think ”Probably only very slightly if anything…” is probably quite close.
SBut the funny thing is that I really didn’t notice the difference while flying it until on one day I was wondering how it works and actually measured the yoke position in different trimmed states.
一iirc Boeing and some other aircraft do have backdrive actuators that move the controls when using AP
AI'm very excited but I'm very confused.
AMeaning, my base arrived today
AIs there a Link in the support thread somewhere for drivers and installation instructions?
