glad it's not like iRacing, when fictional 14yo decide what's real on race car they never drove and when "pros" are video game "pros" and did not handled actual car in that conditions ever )))

i have not much FS exp (learning), but from simracing community, it was like breath of fresh air. People who never been in show drift in real car tells about how it feels when ABS kicks in... when IRL it kicks in, you pray the hell out it to work and steer b/c life depends on it ) maybe i exaturate, but it's night and day between Racing vs Flight community

I just need a topic to spin out, please ignore me )

I've never been on an iRacing Discord, but I can imagine. I've seen a guy reviewing a MSFS2020 helicopter, flying it with a Cessna yoke and stating, that the helicopter is not simulated realistically

. He was older than 14, though

I've got nice wheels and nice wheelbase for simracing, but it doesn't have this feeling for some reason. I don't know it's either due to thing being self made or due to it's aircraft.
Every time i touch flight controller (F18 TM grip) i feel like there is weight behind it, as i almost lift up my right with it. I do not get same feeling with race gear (wheel/base)
Maybe it's mental thing, but i feel the weight of aircraft throughtout the stick

Xaero ZeroOP•1/30/25, 3:32 PM

i guess i've just put not enough knots into sim yet, compared to seasoned people and real pilots (i got more than few K hours into simracing, that feeling fade away), but i hope this feeling of controlling actual machine will still be there

driving a car is more or less common, you can get it outside just by driving (actively or not), but aircraft, it's different beast, as if you touch some forbiddent territory of something you will never experience

you can get an "introduction" flight at every aeroclub, where you will be flown in a training plane (think small cessnas) and will get to pilot it for a bit when in the air. If you want to just experience it. An actual license is very expensive because of the flight hours you have to make

A discovery flight costs $100-$200USD and is well worth it for the experience.

Tack on a zero and you can even fly in warbirds and jets haha.

The problem with sim racing is that the settings etc…that make it more immersive in regards to IRL experience don’t make you faster in game. There, to be faster, you need different settings. So you have to choose between being fast in game or closer to IRL.
And yes almost nobody in these sim racing forums and discord hase any valuable experience with race cars. And sorry track days are not real racing experience with a race car. Some RL racers do obviously a good business w/ sim racing making Youtibe videos and selling AE gloves etc…

Hey guys. Does anyone know if the Rhino works with simhub? Thinking about buying the NLR HF8 which seems to be best through simhub and it would be great to consolidate everything. Just wondering about options

Xaero ZeroOP•1/31/25, 2:54 PM

Simhub do support some flightsims (MSFS for sure, DSC too i think), but it's unrelated to Rhino / TelemFFB. You will be able to utilize Simhub's telemetry for that seat thing, but not TelemFFB's

Thanks - was hoping it could all be managed under one piece of software.
