Force feedback Joystick from Moza

[lxsapper]

Moza came out with princing. $549 or €599.

As always Europeans pay more....

Doesn't the European price include the VAT? If so, don't feel bad. After adding sales tax, it will be about the same for me in the U.S.

This is just because the EU prices typically include a ~20% sales tax.

Man, what are you talking about? [...] In terms of comparison to cars all present on the market now (including Brunner) is not even Toyota Corolla. It is closer to Yaris as most. What you propose to produce will be closer to Fiat Seicento

You are taking the comparison a little too seriously. The point is just that there is room for a cut down variant for a substantially lower price.

Check this video out of the Moza FFB. It looks like the motors are very strong  as the base is shaking like nuts - Plane in a dive I guess and stalled. Also it may be the camara angle but the base looks huge! Time Stamp 8.33

Are there any actual dimensions available anywhere for this thing?

Dimensions. 320mm x 182mm x 52mm. Housing Material. Aerospace-grade aluminum ...

US$549.00

[Biggus]

Can't be right.  52mm must be a typo.

The base is shaking like nuts because the mount it was on wasn't very solid.  Regardless of that, I'm sure the force strength will be more than adequate.

Hey rapid, thanks for the info.  The measurements don't quite make sense.  Could you please recheck your data?  Also....where did you get the measurements from?  Did I miss something from their website?  Thanks pal.

[Aapje]

I figured it out, those dimensions are from their sequential shifter. They almost certainly copied that page as a starting point and then didn't update the specs. Right now the specs are hidden from view, but they are in the HTML (including a mention of that sequential shifter).

So those dimensions are not accurate in any way.

[Thadiun Okona]

Using the M36 stem at the top as a known measurement, the enclosure of the base looks appx 240mm long, 200mm tall and 175mm wide

[rapid]

Apologies I got those dimensions from Moza. I asked them to re check and they sent me the below image which is not very helpful or what I requested. It would seem that not everyone has the correct information yet. Details have not yet filtered down to everyone.

That looks like a mounting plate design drawing, but it should be possible to at least get the length and width by using a ruler to check how many mm on the screen makes for 60 mm in reality. Then you divide 60 by the number of mm's to get the real distance per mm of screen distance. Then you measure the length and width on the screen in mm's and then multiply that with the previously calculated number. That should be quite close to the real number.

I'd do it, but I'm traveling and am ruler-less. But I'm sure that one of you can do it, otherwise I'll do it next week.

Top man Aapje.

Hi,

with CAD it is easy

 

but rounded to full mm.

[rapid]

Hi yogi149,

Nice work hope it's correct.

It can be preordered from a UK shop as well: https://abruzzi-official.co.uk/shop/?filter_brand=moza-flight

Hi All,

 

Here is my reply from Moza: We apologize for the inconvenience. At the moment, we're unable to provide the dimensions and specifics you've requested. Rest assured, we're actively working on this and will reach out to you as soon as we have more information.

[yogi149]

Hi,

@rapid Are they really saying that they don't have any dimensions for a product that is already available for pre-order?

Correct sir, that is very strange indeed.

This means merely they probably going to change something 

Probably a prototype we been seeing.

And shipping suggested for the end of Aug, ie two months from now.

Exciting times

Or is simply means the guys in sales don’t have the info from the guys in manufacturing, someone could be just waiting for a reply to an email, this stuff happens even in small companies, who knows?

I hope this supports DirectX FFB as opposed to relying exclusively on a proprietary API that only works for specific titles.  I haven't seen an official word on this, but I get it's early still.
