I honestly think nvidia has been stock piling these for a few months so wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a shortage.

Now they'll dripfeed stores to keep prices from falling but I suspect they have stockpiled them in advance, at least in the US to avoid future tariffs.

Old ProspectorOP•1/28/25, 6:01 PM

I don' t reckon there's any conspiracy

Old ProspectorOP•1/28/25, 6:01 PM

I think they just made a fairly conservative play to produce X of them and have done so

Not a conspiracy, just business, when a future president has been shouting about implementing a day 1 tariff of 20%+ for the last six months maybe he means it.

Only thing he actually ends up doing is implementing an EU level of VAT.

How socialist of him.

yeah how very socialist of him to want to bring jobs back to the US.

not like he offered every country and industry in the world to bring the work here and get the best tax rates in the biggest economy in the world

Okay sounds great but this is not a political discussion forums and I’m not sure how this discussion is relevant to the Rhino “in general”

It almost is plug&play. Basically get the VPForce configurator, TelemFFB (optional) and set them up.
Check mark force feedback in DCS, set up instant trim for every module in the special settings and you are good.

Blackrat•1/30/25, 10:19 AM

TelemFFB is optional, but I definitely recommend it, although its all a but overwhelming at first, evn now with adding FFB pedals I am overwhelmed lol.

Yeah, the settings of the AB9 apparently are really similar for some reason

Bob Bushman•1/30/25, 10:41 AM

Just by having telemffb running without any configuration except the absolute minimum to make it work is 70% of ffb experience. You loose a lot without it.

Everyone needs to keep their fucking political opinions to themselves. A light hearted joke has no more place and is no less off topic than any other statement or suggestion of political nature.

This is not the place for it. I don't spend a significant amount of time in here to be inundated with keyboard warriors taking pot shots at each other. I don't give a shit what side your on or how aligned or opposed your political ideals are with my own.. Take it elsewhere.

TheDude9974•1/30/25, 2:08 PM

Hi everybody

, a quick question for you guys technically more sophisticated than me:
Does it make a difference (in terms of being gentle to the Rhino hardware or keeping the motors in their comfort zone), whether you set "spring gain" to 100% in the config software and then dial down the potentiometer on the Rhino to, let's say to 50% versus setting "spring gain" to 50% in the config software and then cranking up the potentiometer to full whack?

TTheDude9974 Hi everybody 👋 , a quick question for you guys technically more sophisticated t...

Number481•1/30/25, 2:11 PM

The spring gain slider is the ultimate gating factor as to how strong the spring force can get. Gain slider at %100 with potentiometer turned to %50 is the same as Gain slider %50 with potentiometer at %100.

smitty•1/30/25, 2:13 PM

100% x 50% = 50% x 100% but having the gain slider at 100% will allow you to adjust higher with the pot if you want more

smitty•1/30/25, 2:15 PM

i keep mine at 100% 100% and use telemffb to lower the strength at various levels for different planes.. so when its on autopilot it's very strong but i'm not forcing it so motors stay happy

TTheDude9974 Hi everybody 👋 , a quick question for you guys technically more sophisticated t...

Xaero Zero•1/30/25, 2:19 PM

i do use 75% and it's more than enough to fight the stick and feel the preassure. I do no sweat as i am when simracing with 25nm base (i end up full wet after 2h race), but this 75% of 57 motor feels right and correct for any situation i've encountered

Xaero Zero•1/30/25, 2:21 PM

100% spring gain would be hard to manage as side stick or center with no extension, there is no aircraft that will require that much of force i think

Xaero Zero•1/30/25, 2:22 PM

unless you fly birds and heavy lift things

TheDude9974•1/30/25, 2:22 PM

@Number481 @smitty thank you mates for the quick reply

. I do understand the math, but I got no clue regarding electrical or torque forces in the Rhino (or in general, that is

).
The reason that came to my mind in the first place was, that unnoticed by me, I must have dialed down the potentiometer to around 10 or 15%

and then got problems with stability (x axis went red) and I was wondering why the centering spring didn't work no more and everything felt spongy and floppy. So I thought maybe cranking up the potentiometer to 100% and never touching it again could prevent that issue. Smitty, I really like your suggestion to do the actual tuning in TelemFFB and thus having individual settings for each chopper
