OThat's true... I've yet to have played with those. Guess now that we'll have a stronger feedback, we'll have a purpose for using those features in DCS.
WI'm still thinking how to go about implementing it
WMaybe some sort of easy scripting support
ORight... That's what I had in mind.
F@rcflyer40t yeah, it's basically a balance setting.
OYep
F@walmis
WThose are all rumble effects by my guess ?
Fyes, many many parameters and different quantities for each module
Fhighly customizable of course
Ftake it slow 
Fno pressure
Fthe thing is, they are also directional. bomb dropped from left wing, G-force build up in your back or in the left leg ... etc.
Fmaybe a Rhino-plugin for Simshakers would be a good approach, this way they can't interfere with each other.

PThis project is very interesting to me. I'll definitely be keeping in the loop.
VOh, this is something that I've been following for a while back on ED forums. So glad it came to life like this. I just hope that in near future there will be a option to just mount (not necessarily support) VKB grips. I do have MGC Ultimate and it blows Virpil stick completely out of the water. Virpil is way too small for my hand and its switches are too mushy. So if there will be a way to just mount it on Rhino base with me routing the connection to the blackbox separately, it would be great.
I just need to save a bit of cash, dropped 850e on Virpil collective and buttonbox 2 weeks ago...

F@viper1970 hi there, i guess one of the DIY kits would fit perfectly for your project.
FOk, so I have a new question:
I guess you get to bind a button on your grip to work as a trim release for the Rhino base, right?
Will you still be able to bind that same button to the trim release in DCS?

WThe trim release is all handled by DCS natively. The Rhino doesn't currently have HW trim in firmware (which would be useful if the game doesn't support FFB natively)
FOooh ok!
F@crifort that's why it is the Brunner Killer. (native directinput FFB)
(native directinput FFB)Fanother benefit in DCS is that trim release also commands the internal FCS system (in the Ka-50 for instance). it's not like with the Brunner, trimmed from the "outside", which basically only forces the stick to stay in a certain position.
FThat's why I was asking
W@everyone Could anyone share the technical dimensions for the VKB mount from the base side with some photos if possible (or maybe CAD if one has it)
WLent my vkb base to a friend, so nothing from me unfortunately. I modeled an adapter for grips but that likely isn't useful and I can't guarantee accuracy (did fit fine on my gimbal)
FI talked with @rcflyer40t , I can send you myspare extension, that way you'll have both sides of the connector
WYeah that'd be useful, I could develop an adapter to help route the signal wires to the black box
PWhy not to buy VKB extender and canibalize it?
P
POr even only remove lower part of it and connect it directly to gimbal
WFor one-off project that might be ok, but that's unsustainable if you need more than one 
FTo clear things up, we'd wouldn't need the Gunfighter base, just the black box?
Wyeah
FNice
Agreetings every one
Rhell everyone, im the big chungus gimbal guy, also did the 3d printable version the wood cut box version

Rboth projects are kinda stagnant because of life/work stuff has been crazy the last 10 months
Rvid of my big gimbal when I was last working on it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/D5V0-PLg0Cc
interested in the rhino as maybe a fall project so wanna track the development of it

Need better sensors though, these crappy hall effects get pretty low resolution with only +/-18 degrees of throw on the stick.
WHi there. Nice!

WThat chungus gimbal would very well mate with those big chungus 86BLF motors 
AWhat’s the max resistance possible with the current ffb setup?
AI was looking at building my own using hoverboard motors I’ve modified. I can push around 10nm from them but haven’t ran the calc for max force after gearing. Also not sure they will have anywhere near the response the 86blf motors will
WThe 86BLF03 does around 3.3-3.5Nm, the 86BLF04 up to around 3.8-4Nm
WI did invest lots of effort onto making these motors have very smooth open loop response: https://gfycat.com/unrulyentirebilby
