Rhino and Brunner Pedals would work as standalone devices, DCS doesn't support trimming pedals yet natively, so you'd have to rely on brunner software for pedal trimming.
Got a reply from Virpil: ".... Considering current production capacity and your order's queue position, we estimate that your order will be fully allocated between end of January to early February" So it looks like I'll get it soon enough and there's probably no need to rush this
Iโve been reading a lot of reviews and seeing people experience the odd overheating issue and the loss of power while the motors cool themselves down. Is there currently a fix in the works for this or is it something that will just have to deal with?
It's not overheating per se, just thermal limiting since any motor working at max current will dissipate a lot of heat. Thermal limiting is very gradual. But if prolonged dogfights is your game you might consider building a super Rhino(with the big motors) or FFBeast.
Thank you Yuchen, thatโs great to know. I just want to make the right decision as Iโve never had a ffb stick before and just donโt want anything that takes away from the experience of it.
I'm still confused about how the DIY kit works and what I need to integrate it into my pedals and stick. On the connection diagram in the showcase channel there are two potentiometers marked as "optional". I can see that the motor driver boards are integrated in the back of the motors. I guess there's also some sort of encoder. But where does the position feedback come from? Other FFB builds use potis at the output shaft. If theese are not required and there's a gear between the motor and the gimbal then the encoder has to be a multi-turn absolute type which I doubt...
