I’ve done the same thing using some of my SimFab brackets on my 6Dof, what collective grips are you using? I’m looking to see what compatible with the Rhino.
Great, thank you! I was bouncing between the Ka-50 or UH60. Did you lockout the X-Axis? I’m in the process of 3D printing a pulley lock to stop the sway. @Warwolf09
I’m also going to insulate the x1c so the chamber temps are more consistent and add a chamber heater and charcoal hepa filter. Plan on printing a lot of abs and asa and cf infused stuff and nylons. I might get the ams not sure yet. I’ve got 2 polymaker dryers I can print from for now.
Mine just shipped, can't wait to get compressor stall in F-14A. Also bought the last available F-14 grip from VKB Europe. Seams I'm a bit lucky today, flying will be so much better
Just got my Rhino earlier, two days before Fedex said.
Just looking through the Configurator now. I’ve got a Virpil Z-Extension and a MongoosT-50 CM2 grip on it for the moment and need to make sure I’m doing this right with the balancing as it obviously falling backwards.
I’ve switched on the Balance Spring and set 50% in the Y Positive AFT box, that doesn’t fully centre the stick even with 100% on the master gain, so switched on the Adaptive Recentering at 50% as well and that gets it there.
Anything I should know on this, is that the way to do it correctly?
Also, I have the 11 degree limiter in, and it’s making a few creaking noises going past the half way point on the left and right edges where the gap between the two halves of the limiter pieces are, is that normal? I certainly don’t like it.
You may want to post screenshots of your settings to see how you are setting up the balance spring.
About the creaking... Does that happen when you run the stick forward and back through the side? Or just moving it forward and back through the middle? In my case if I run the stick forward and back through the sides rubbing against it I can feel a bit of the gap but not much and definitely no creaking. Also a posting video of the issue may help.
My limiter creaks too when the center piece passes over the gap where the two halves meet. Rarely am I ever at the edge of travel when flying so it’s only noticeable for me during calibration.
I have a 3D printer to make new ones but haven’t got into design yet. I don’t know why it’s designed like this, I saw the gap before I put them in and thought that was odd.
I think it‘s designed as a two piece so that you can change it without disassemble the grip. However even as two part there would be better solutions (putting the divide in the corners and make them overlap). But in a second step I simply made it one piece.
Yeah, I was thinking corners. Do you have a stl file for your version and what angles are they? I wonder if I can reduce the issue with some tape perhaps.
Well for now I put a strip of the thick heavy duty black Gorilla tape I had around where the stick touches the limiter inside and it worked, much better, no noises or perceivable changes in smoothness going past the halfway point either side. Will have to see how it lasts. The limiters really need a redesign though.
Do you guys have strange increasing pitch oscilation when flying turboprops in MSFS (Blackbird Texan T6A)? Seems like a exponentially more powerfull springey effect every swing... if I would not calm it by hand it would amplify and go nuts... Is that normal pitch behaviour...?
talked with a PC-9 pilot... aaand this behaviour is not normal and does not exist... what values should I monitor when experiencing this? so i can tone them down in profile...
This has been an issue with the dynamic forces for MSFS forever. Particularly with fast, sensitive aircraft. I have some ideas to address but haven't gotten around to it.
Some things you can do to try to alleviate the worst of it: - Enable some dampen effect or increase the strength if its already enabled - Reduce constant force strength.
I'm using Geeetech's PETG as filament and I'm printing with a Bambu Lab P1S - so nothing really fancy. I did the Departed Reality motion platform with that PETG and had no issues. For the quick releases it seems to work fine also as long as the devices produce forces in given directions or produce only limited forces. The only thing I found that will not work are handbrakes - too big forces in undefined directions.
