I hope you know you need the vp motors if you want to use the board, it has its own controllers

Vah, the motors are not "default"? In that case, I guess I dont have the motors yet lol
FHaha, I made the same mistake that's why I warned
VMay be an idea to make that a little more clear. Also, I dont see spare motors listed, if these motors are customized, that may be required one day. Or if I want to upgrade to stronger ones. I suppose shelling out 25 euro for a new board as well isnt the end of the world though.
FIf you want a spare motor just message walmis, he is really chill about things like that
A@walmis I have been contemplating about this too. I have an exsting VPForce 86BLF03 setup. Could I transplant its electronics to a generic 86BLF04 motor, or is it not compatible?
WNo it would break the motor profiling/calibration. Each driver is tuned to the specific motor

FChristmas rhinos getting pumped
Gmine is currently in Cologne ... it's going to be a very good christmas
FI cant figure out a way to mount mine without spending a grand on a chair
ADesk and floor mounting might be options.
The latter could be pretty simple; sufficiently large sheet of sturdy material, 4 mounting points for the Rhino.

FYeah floor was the plan but bunch of issues came up with that
Fstick Has to sit pretty far forward so that it has enough clearance from the chair to pull back, but that makes it less ergonomic, and i have to be far away from my desk, then i cant use my mouse to click things,
RMine arriving hopefully tomorrow, it's resting in Hannover for over 1 day now.

RIt just arrived 1hr ago. Setting it up in the rig now. 
FGood choice of a Christmas present for yourselves 
BThat's some good planning right there
BI was hoping for a Christmas Present, but as my Birthday is in January I am hoping it will be a birthday present 
BBirthday is 24 days the bots says 18 days but I suspect a well earnt Christmas rest will be in order for @walmis and push that out a bit more.

Fis there a way to make a thumb stick axis relative ?

FSent you a PM
RAny airbus pilot can tell us, if the sidestick gets lighter/heavier with changing airspeed? Thnx
BNot that I noticed...very much not a force feedback type feel...I'll check the manual.
BIt doesn't. It always feels the same.
TRoll force is lighter than pitch force.
BWhen you're flight control laws blend into normal law after take off the pitch becomes a G load demand and roll becomes a roll rate demand.
KMentour Pilot on YouTube said Aibus are developing it to get both synchronized movement between the sticks and ffb.
KI wonder if they will try a side yoke as well?
HAnd roll has asymetric force, needs more force inwards than outwards
SStill wish somebody had a rhino Profil to simulate an airbus sidestick :crycat:
Nlooking at the video above.. just seems like fairly light spring force and a shit ton of damper?
Aiirc the stick is supposed to go stiff when you engage autopilot
Athe airbus sidestick
BWhat? No, it doesn't. That's probably more likely to do with our musculature and how it's easier to make an inward movement compared to outward.
BYes, that's true. The rudder pedals stiffen up on an autoland with rollout guidance too iirc (it's been a while since I checked that ). In fact , I think they stiffen up when you engage the autopilot. I never have any rudder input when I engage the autopilot so it's not something I've noticed.
HThe exactly why they do it, needs more force inward as it's easier to pull inward and vice versa
BReally? I've never noticed that. I'll pay closer attention to that next time I do the flt control check.
HWhat I could find:
Breakout force: 1.1 pounds
Pitch: Fore and aft. +/- 16 degrees 22.5 pounds
Roll: Outboard 20 degrees 5.6 pounds.
Roll: Inboard 20 degrees 7.8 pounds.
Breakout force: 1.1 pounds
Pitch: Fore and aft. +/- 16 degrees 22.5 pounds
Roll: Outboard 20 degrees 5.6 pounds.

BOh wow, that must be in some kind of maintenance manual. It's not in the FCOM, is it?
Aso are we getting stiff sticks in our buses at some point?
