That would eat away some of its capacity. Regarding the heat, when the Moza produces the same amount of torque (which it does by the specs) it will produce roughly the same amount of waste heat, no way around that. Given that it not even has ventilation slots…..
I have an issue with the VPForce in MSFS. It feels like the FFB is inverted? You need alot of power to overcome the centre but not alot of force as you put more input in so I end up having hyper unstable planes that only like full ffb inputs.
@Bob Bushman i already have the base so i was thiunking on using that. just wondering what settings i need to setup for the autopilot be able to move the collective axis
I too am interested in FFB collective…….using a VPF motor on a custom built collective to use with the X-Trident’s A109SP …..why?…..because in a 4-axis AFCS the collective with trim feel engaged will actually respond power changes. If you press the trim feel trigger underneath the collective it will disengage the trim feel and allow manual control…….i feel that the VPF motor would be perfect to make such a realistic collective. But not sure if it can…..??
Quick question- im down below 150 on the wait list. How are we contacted when its time to place an order? I dont want to miss it if an email ends up in my junk folder. Thanks
What is exactly the additional length of built-in extenstion compared to vkb or virpil base? From the dimensions it looks like it is 160mm from the axis of rotation, and in my vkb it looks like i am only 40mm from the axis rotation (my guess, it might be more), hence I was assuming that you have defacto a 120mm extension built in. Has someone measure this more accuretely?
Not without collaboration from (and likely significant work by) the developer. Edit Well, after looking at some info about the heli, it seems there is at least some provisions built in to allow for springless joysticks and/or FFB implementations. But its unknown how or if this extends to the collective axis. Also I don't own the aircraft nor have access to the manual to even try to get a sense of what it would take
Well guys, I’ve not flown in the ikarus for over 9 months, I added the force feedback stick to my simulator to help with my training. Today I took off unassisted, first landing was a bit crap, but the next 7 touch and goes were as my instructor said, bloody perfect. So if anyone says Spending all that money on it is a waste, tell them they don’t know what they are talking about. Looking to be going solo in the middle of December weather permitting.
If its fun its not a waste , I think it's getting better but I still wouldn't rely on my home pit, even with rhino and vr, but I do think it can help more to keep the mindset running than say chair flying or just staring at flight instrument posters if you are weeks maybe even months between actual flights.
Just in case anyone wants to do something similar. I was able to modify one of my hotas mounts in my Next Level Racing Military Edition Chair. Pretty easy just need to make a couple of new holes and you can use the rhino as a collective! Works great with the H145. Autopilot moves the collective. Let me know if you want more info on how to modify the mount
Hello everyone. Small reminder. I git one Kit ready to Ship to build a Monster Rhino that IS able to Take the biggest VPForce Motors 86BLF04. Two opinions on the Base you can find Here: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/357705-monster-ffb-rhino-diy-kit-supplyservice-supplementary-to-kaltokriwinger-kits/#comment-5533855 Usually i only make These Kit per Order cause the parts are quite expensive but i Made this extra one on Stock. To get my Investment Back now available at a reduced price (PM for Details). Shipping Worldwide possible.
Hi Folks, Based on the awesome Work of @TheAmazingGreat (thanks for your permission to use your Work AS a Base) I made some slight changes and am offering a VPForce MONSTER Rhino Kit sourcing service. The "Thing" kit has the following Specs: - Gimbal printed from laser sintered PA12. - Grip-Conne...
Looking to do my solo in December sometime, then it’s just exams to get out of the way. Next stop training for my flight instructor course the year after
