With the new fan control option, I would recommend to have always a small airflow around the motors. In other words, start earlier with the cooling.
HReducing Master Gain would also slow down heat buildup.
IHow do I get the new fan control option?
HLatest firmware updates and software updates.
IThanks will check them out

WUgh, that pesky bug
ISeems to be I already have the latest firmware since when I go with the mouse over Update Firmware does not do anything

IFix does not work for me
WCopy the full line, I see you pasted a truncated string

IThis is good?
WYep, worked
IThanks
Iwhen trying to install latest configurator I got this message
I
WYou need to get back and update the firmware now, see if the Web page now allows to update after the powershell fix
IIt does not allow the update
WDid you replug USB and/or reboot ?
IYes
Ieven rebooted
IDid it again now works
IUpdated to latest firmware and software, so in fan control you recommend I setup the fans to start earlier at lower temps?
I
Iwhat settings would you recommend here?
IAre there instructions on how this works? I assume its about controls getting stiffer at higher speeds?
I
WIf you raise the upper end, you'll get twice the stiffness. The purple columns show the current state of spring gain/stiffness.
IGot it, thanks

II use this brake lever or the Spitfire and Mosquito, in DCS the hand brake is super sensitive, is there a recommended setting that will make this lever operated brake less sensitive?
IReduce max value reduces travel or brake strenght?
T@I/JG7_Moto may need to set a curve in dcs control in game
Tfor brake lever
IBrake lever is not recognized as an Axis in DCS, which is the problem, its like an ON OFF button, no option to tune it as far as I know
Nsure about that? It's RZ on my Alpha...
IWill try to manually select Rz , good idea, thanks
RThis is a cool new option. I was wondering, is there enough room currently in the Rhino design to install a better fan that might improve cooling even more?
HThere are ways to design your own panels for 3D printing. I actually installed a Phanteks T30. But don’t expect to much. The Motor-Housing is a good heatsink due to its thermal mass - until it is saturated, then it gets difficult to cool, because it has very little surface area compared to its thermal mass. More airflow is always better, but not by much when the heat transfer is poor.
I‘m actually thinking about adding some of those to the motors:

HIf cooling becomes a factor though strongly depends on your kind of flying. Mainly an issue in dogfighting with aircraft that can hold a lot of G for a prolonged time…. No factor in basic flying, Air to ground or helicopters.
Si found the M.2 heatsinks fit very well
RTHe F-14 in dogfights heats the motors up very quickly I found. I I'll have to see if I can find heatsinks that are the right size for the motors. I have one that I thermal taped to the back of a GPU backplate a few years ago that might be too big.
IWhere do you think of attaching the M.2 heatsinks, outside on the case? or internally?
IIf we put one of these outside, pushing air or extracting air from the case ,will it help?

HDirectly on the motors. Otherwise they would have no effect. You need five heatsinks per Motor 4 on the sides and one on the bottom. (Well, you don’t NEED, but that would have the greatest effect)
