Vah its CNCed I geuss I better start saving my pennies lol
SOne question. If I fly multycrew with heuy as pilot and the copilot is flying the helicopter the cyclic will move or not ?? Have anyone tryed it ?
WWell that's an interesting question, would be really cool if it worked 
W@bignewy any idea if that is implemented in DCS?
Byou have to hand permission to the co-pilot to take controls.
Bif we allow both to control at the same time things get funky pretty quickly
Ralso if @_slowmover means does the stick move when the remote pilot moves the stick then I would argue that it shouldn't because it could result in physical harm because the pilots are not in sight of each other and lacking visual clues about movement that you get in the real thing.
Byes very true
MThe brunner has an option to link both devices together using a cable which allows both to move at the same time I think its via CANBus
SYes you give permission to the copilot to fly
AAm I the only one who immediately thought of getting up and pushing the stick as far back as fast as I can if it's linked to my copilot's stick?
WNope 
Fthere is a problem with FFB and multicrew in the F-14. i tested it a while ago... can't tell if it's still happening. if you are the RIO and a human pilot takes control, your FFB stick will start moving too...
Mthat sounds like a feature !
F
not if you have bound the stick axis to RIO functions...Mtrue, will have to try that in the other multicrew jets
KI don't remember exactly what happens, but I do remember that while in multi-crew if you hit the trim button the other person feels it.
KSo there is something there.
WMotors coming along nicely.
KHello How can I sign up for an Rhino?
How can I sign up for an Rhino? WHey! You can DM me ;)
MWill you be making a website where we can buy it in a later stage?
WYup! It's in progress
M@walmis thnx, I'm building a full p-51d cockpit and I'm thinking about integrating a rhino into it. Could you tell me how high the base is?
WSure, one sec, I'll share the drawing
MThnx. The rhino is the only ffb base that works with the direct input drivers. It might fill a gap in the market. Could be big. Keep it up
WThanks!
S@walmis Do you have any plans for the motors fit to a collective? Is that possible?
WIt's possible with the existing system no problem.
WJust the proper mechanics are necessary
SHave you tried that ?
WI'll try with a rhino sideways later
Wbut for a proper collective a bit of counterweight would be beneficial, as to not waste power counterabalancing it constantly
Si wanted to avoid that but i know what you mean
BMy motor kit arrived, thanks a lot. It'll be a while before I do any tests or experiments though, I have to check out the sim and then the real aircraft before I make any decisions
WAwesome. Keep us posted
BI really need some engineering drawings of a Spitfire yoke. I've got a comprehensive book that contains blueprints of the entire MKIX but they are more focussed on the airframe. When I do the simulator session I'll ask the guys there how they acquired their blueprints ( I'm assuming they use a Brunner system, it definitely has FFB or it wouldn't be CAA approved for training )
I will make 'puppy dog eyes' at them until I get the drawings I need

HI've used a combo of the AK design and that cad to build a spit ffb stick
HTesting this weekend
BAuthentikit is a marvellous project, can't praise them enough. But I'm looking at a 1:1 cockpit build, and they have a modified stick design that makes sense for the 99% of people who need something a bit less single minded
MThen the heritage project should give you that 1:1
BThat looks really interesting
BI'm not making any decisions until I've had a session in the simulator and flown a real MK IX though, which will be this month
MSounds awesome, will really give you something to base that elusive feel from, nothing like first hand comparison.
BIt's going to be eye wateringly expensive but it will be a real experience. To be honest it's the availability of a flight in the real plane that's driving my decision to build the Spitfire cockpit. I love the Spitfire, because what Englishman doesn't ? but I'd like an EE Lightning a little better. But there's no prospect of high fidelity simulator software for that and no way to fly a real one. I knew about Thunder Road, but they shut down years ago and I don't know if they allowed any stick time on the aircraft anyway.
CThanks for the server invite! If I were interested, what's the cost of the Rhino kit? Are they available in any form?
WHey, welcome! Yes kits are available. You can check the pinned posts in #
showcase for photos. The regular motors (57blf) kit starts at 299€ and the bigger motors (86blf) start at 399€. The kits are plug and play and the working is demonstrated on my YouTube VPforce DIY video
