  1. Probably need the FC3 fix? I wish one day the left MFD would work.
  2. I am not using the Moza as the KA-50III over a month now, I would give it a check if it is not working on other bases.
  3. Okay, I am using the old version of the mod with the current version of the DCS so the landing gear and air brake do not work. The current version of the mod does not have "super cruise" isn't it? Thank you
  4. Are the landing gear and air brake bugs being worked on? No rush, just wish to know of the status of things to come. Thank you.
  5. I am told to connect the base directly to the computer instead of a hub.
  6. The hardest part would be getting rid of those 2 metal bulges.
  7. So far so good, but the lower left MFD does not work at all, for now. The TV in the centre works in VR which is great. It is hard to ask mod makers to fix things these days it seems but I would say thank you and keep up the good work.
  8. Oh, there are way many missing things out there. BTW, the tallest building in game:
  9. I cannot give a like to sad post like this, but at least, I can give you at least a thanks. Salute!
  10. Oh, in case you are not aware, Growling Sidewinder has shown multiple times that there is a GS version which has thrust vectoring capability of the plane but GS never releases it, I am not sure if the GitHub version has it or not. Oh, somebody has published a Su-30M which features thrust vectoring also. As for HMD, I can only wish.
  11. So no little bird with special forces on board. Thanks for bringing this little joy to the community.
  12. Did some BFM and BVR just then, UFO-sic energy is back! Need to download and install back the AIM-120D etc. So far, air brake and landing gears are not working, even the landing gear handle in the cockpit does not work. Wish list in the following order (for now): 1. Vector Thrusting! 2. Some sort of HMD.
  13. My pleasure! Take your time guys, make sure you get it right out of the "door". No EA, either, please.
  14. At least the tail scratching runway is not here anymore... I think I start in the air to see how it flies
  15. (Raptor Mod: Born Again) Initial test: landing gear cannot retract. Need to try it later starting in-flight.
  16. Thanks, so basically there is no real hope of getting this done as real as possible, unless some one finds out there is a set of documentation one day hidden in the attic or something.
  17. Oh, should have answered the question, without comparison: It is of personal choice. As I mention above, AB9 is a fully enclosed metal base with no external moving parts. All the controls and the connectors are in the front of the base, expect the part connecting to the stick, of which is also made of metal. It uses USB-B connector and a flat power connector with a clutch on it. As for the Rhino, both co-axial power connector and the USB-B connector is in the front, fan on the left and on the top, there is a knob for adjusting power level and one big red button to start/stop the force feedback. To turn on, one need to turn the knob and push it down to stop. Both are quite close together, it may cause a tiny problem when starting it when I am in VR for turning on the base may also changes to knob together. Or it is just me. Both do not have any lights to indicate their status, but Rhino does beep when startup, disconnect or the setting has been changed. Note that AB9 has ports to connect with its own throttle and pedal units. While, using Rhino parts, people can build their own FFB throttle, collective and rudder pedals. Rhino is a tiny bit taller, but the base area is smaller. I find the Moza base is heavier, nonetheless, I can still mount it sideways using regular universal desk mounts without problem. Since it does not vibrate that much -- there are still vibrations at times, mind you. So far so good. BTW, my Rhino base sits on the floor with a used chopping board to hold it in place. Apart from my pervious, Rhino software is very powerful, though not complete, and it may not be the most eye-pleasing UI out there. I am not fan of exercising my wrist and shoulder when flying, both are of the rating of 9NM. With the right profile, the feeling of both is quite fine and I have no way to know how close the profiles representing the real thing. From personal experience, after flying a 30-something minute mission with AB-9 using F-16 profile, both my wrist and shoulder ache afterwards, as I have been pulling the "pole" too hard and it barely moves. Note that Rhino can adjust the force amount using either hardware or software. And its profile for F-16C comes with the base does not make it a pole, but rather just move like any other planes. One can change the profile if needed.
  18. Good news but I need to find the older version of the mod first!
  19. Please help somebody who may be new to this thread, or get very confused after reading in the past few days. 1. Is this module OH-6A stopped being developed? 2. Or is the AH-6A? 3. Would we still see the Little Bird teased earlier? Thank you.
  20. I have both, you can check my video on the Moza AB9 Base and my Rhino order is #0888 (interesting number to some). I have had my AB9 since September (time flies ay?) and I can tell you I do not get it from the UK, I am not sponsroed, and that's it. I ordered the Rhino back in mid-November (crazy dude, I know) and it landed on my front door in early February, so less than 120 days, it is more like 90 days -- it involved the usual story of FedEx incompetence and the damage of Brexit to daily life in the UK. Cough, before I go on, I say earlier I am not comparing these 2 bases, I love them both. Nonetheless, here I am. Moza AB9 base, as many who follow this base, know it is a fully enclosed in a metal case, no moving parts exposed. Also the connector to the stick is metal, and the power plug into the base is a flat pin with a clutch which makes it hard to disconnect accidentally. Note that both do not have any visual indication that the stick is powered on or not. For AB9, you may find the stick is on when it remains stiff upright. For Rhino, you can say there are 2 stages of the base being "up", if the USB to it is connected, the base shows up on the Control Panel but the buttons on the stick work. However, the axis does not work and of course there is no force feedback, even if the power is connected. One needs to turn it on, which gives out a nice beep sound, in order to have the full function of the base. Well, this is not a downside and it is how it is. Note that if you spend a little more, you can buy a restrictor which limits the Y-axis of Rhino to 11 degrees each, which I do have it. Note that you have to install the limiter yourself but it is a not hard to do as long as you have the matching screw head. The Rhino software comes in 2 parts, one is general gaming and sensing the telemetry and the other is the control the various aspects of force feedback. The latter one is very complete and gives you total customisation most of the aspects of feedback. If you are just a regular guy who does not want to touch those overwhelming confusing details, one can stick with the general gaming application. Once nice thing you get is auto profile switching and it supports even third-party modules like OH-6A for DCS, though I have no idea if it is realistic or not but damn sure I enjoy the heck out of it. It should note that the Rhino software is not without bugs (aka all software do have bugs) and there is limitation as well. As any FFB base users can tell you, you should not mess with the axis curves inside the game, but with the base software. I asked and there is no such stick input curve to change with, only the force responses. Say, I do not like I can pull too much so I wish to limit it but there is no way I can do it directly. Also, FYI, the DCS F-16C profile/preset from the Rhino base does not act like the actual side stick of the F-16C (MFSSB or FSSB or whatever), but the Moza preset does. However, I am told that the author of the F-16 preset on Moza thinks it could have been better. I have some strange issues with Rhino base hardware myself, it is in the process of resolving with the builder and I do not want to elaborate it any further. If you have any questions on either of the base, please feel free to ask and I would try my best to answer.
  21. In 10 seconds, what is that financial service used?
  22. Off-topic: There is another one and calls itself FSSB: https://realsimulator.com/fssb-r3-ultra/ If I recall correctly, this base was available way before WinWing.
