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.

That‘s why I designed my own limiter, I couldn’t stand the noises. Unfortunately my solution isn’t parametric and only serves my special needs…

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.

WhiteHawk77•10/21/24, 6:16 PM

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.

Hiob•10/21/24, 6:17 PM

I need to search….somewhere I have it…..

WhiteHawk77•10/21/24, 8:38 PM

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...?

*NOB*Aries•10/22/24, 12:21 PM

It's like it reacts to its own swing with a more powerfull spring swing in opposite direction...

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.

Been using the Rhino with a VKB MCGU stick for a little while now and really enjoying it.

I recently added a 10cm extension to it, with a 17 degree limiting plate that's working fine.

I've been trying to adjust the forces to make it feel the same as it did when I had no extension, but I still find it harder to be quite as accurate around the center as I did with no extension. Maybe I'm not as accurate simply because my hand doesn't notice as much of an angle change near the center with the extension for the same percentage of stick motion without an extension?

Anybody else noticed this, or have suggestions on how to change settings when going from no extension to having an extension?

Hiob•10/23/24, 7:20 PM

Should be quite the opposite. The longer the throw the more fine control you have. You probably just need to adjust to the longer travel for the same angular displacement.

tanr•10/23/24, 7:57 PM

I should have been more specific. The throw has actually been reasonably similar between my previous setup (VKB MCGU on Gunfighter base with a 20cm extension), the VKB MCGU on the Rhino base with no extension but no limiter, and the VKB MCGU on the Rhino base with a 10cm extension and 17 degree limiter. Hence why I'm wondering if it's more the difference in angle or FFB resistance near the center that's the issue. Or it may just all be in my head!
