I was hoping for a Christmas Present, but as my Birthday is in January I am hoping it will be a birthday present

Blackrat•12/20/24, 7:34 AM

Birthday 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.

Any airbus pilot can tell us, if the sidestick gets lighter/heavier with changing airspeed? Thnx

Not that I noticed...very much not a force feedback type feel...I'll check the manual.

Boggy•12/20/24, 10:39 PM

When 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.

Kite•12/20/24, 10:54 PM

Mentour Pilot on YouTube said Aibus are developing it to get both synchronized movement between the sticks and ffb.

Kite•12/20/24, 10:54 PM

I wonder if they will try a side yoke as well?

TTrigaNZ Roll force is lighter than pitch force.

Horizon•12/20/24, 11:51 PM

And roll has asymetric force, needs more force inwards than outwards

Stryker990•12/21/24, 12:55 AM

Still wish somebody had a rhino Profil to simulate an airbus sidestick :crycat:

Number481•12/21/24, 1:38 AM

looking at the video above.. just seems like fairly light spring force and a shit ton of damper?

AndyHill•12/21/24, 2:23 AM

iirc the stick is supposed to go stiff when you engage autopilot

HHorizon And roll has asymetric force, needs more force inwards than outwards

Boggy•12/21/24, 9:21 AM

What? 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.

AAndyHill iirc the stick is supposed to go stiff when you engage autopilot

Boggy•12/21/24, 9:23 AM

Yes, 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.

What I could find:

Roll: Outboard 20 degrees 5.6 pounds.

Boggy•12/21/24, 12:27 PM

Oh wow, that must be in some kind of maintenance manual. It's not in the FCOM, is it?

AndyHill•12/21/24, 1:17 PM

so are we getting stiff sticks in our buses at some point?

Red Magic•12/21/24, 2:13 PM

I noticed when in the 64 and not flying, my stick doesn't move. I wonder, how possible is it that when the stick is folded (controls handed off to other pilot), the ingame cyclic will effect the position of the Rhino?

Arno•12/21/24, 5:27 PM

Yes it's like that. Try to deflect with the "wrong" hand, and you'll notice.

EAF51_Jimmi•12/24/24, 5:29 PM

Hi everybody! Just got a Rhino from a teammate and i'm struggling to set up the software properly. I red the manual but there are tons of options and it's overwhelming... I fly mainly warbrids. Before the rhino i had an arduino controlling a motorized pulley that stiffened or loosed the joy depending on airspeed (dcsbios telemetry). The joy was loose on the ground and on top of a loop or hammerhead and very heavy in a dive. So far i've played with many settings especially the new g-forces in vpforce telem but for my geelings the delta between the minimum and maximum forces is too small.. In particular i feel a light stick before the take off run... but once in flight stick gets heavy and stay heavy even on top of a hammerhead with propeller on idle and less than 50mph... Without air hitting control surfaces my understanding is that they should be light as while on the ground... Any tips on were to start? Can someone share their warbirds profiles? Ty in advance and merry Christmas and great flights!

Are you using telemffb? Or just the dcs force feedback effects?

You may want to post pictures of your configuration to see if maybe something there needs to be adjusted
