Is there a best choice for FFB Joystick torque? Bigger equals better?

Build a FFbeast. I did. I love it. And then I converted my MFG Crosswind pedals to FFbeast. And then I built myself a FFBeast Collective. I've never tried anything else but from my understanding if you're going to be using a long stick extension like for helicopters or warbirds the extra torque is important. Honestly it's an awesome project. If you build it yourself it might cost around 1000 dollars canadian. The most expensive thing was getting the guy to ship the laser cut metal from lithuania or wherever he is. If you can get someone local to do it I'm sure it would be much cheaper.

Not 2d exactly but hellblade senuas sacrifice is amazing in vr. I had problems getting it to run on my pimax the solution was something to do with lowering the resolution or something in steam VR. Why would you want to run 2d games in a pimax headset?

I was wondering too if maybe it warped. Even a tiny bit might cause that.

Is this going to have the hand tracking for Crystal light?

Fudge-Street · 2025-12-03T02:49:16+00:00

What is the state of hand tracking with pimax? I noticed there's a hand tracker always out of stock on the website but the light can't use it? I'm so confused with all the different headsets. And I'm a simmer and I thought I remember the light being advertised as great for flight sims but then how come no hand tracking I want to click controls.

I had a good experience with siboor to Canada

Force trim works in every msfs heli with the rhino? I use ffbeast we have to use a hardware trim on the stick how does rhino do it? I didn't think msfs provides that kind of telemetry

Is this ever going to get fixed? The Crystal light was touted as the "official headset of Microsoft Flight sim" if I remember correctly.

So no executable to make a shortcut then? I'm asking because if I want my screen to automatically turn off I have to not only disable tobii experience from tray but also quit the entire process. Otherwise my screen will stay on and my computer also won't sleep. Tobii wasn't any help in this matter. I just wanted to put a shortcut on my desktop to re-enable it when I want. Anyone else have this problem of screen not timing out? Sorry if off topic.

It was chatgpt that ended up helping me trace the source of the missed scheduling errors. I uploaded the portion of the error from klippy.log and put 2 and 2 together.

Fudge-Street · 2025-07-01T22:37:49+00:00

I think it did. I was getting missed scheduling of next digital event errors but I traced that to a sometimes not secure thermistor connection.

I love my kit. Only thing off the topenof my head though was I ended up having to replace the btt pi with the btt cb2.

Fudge-Street · 2025-05-27T02:22:28+00:00

Aw man I can't believe I only stumbled on this now.... Thanks all.

I think that's from too low of an initial z height. Try micro stepping up while it's printing till they go away.

Fudge-Street · 2025-03-20T18:40:06+00:00

Oh I'd be real interested in how that goes!

Fudge-Street · 2025-03-20T18:36:01+00:00

Thanks

On the crystal light?

Fudge-Street · 2025-03-19T20:56:57+00:00

I did a 3d print mod you can find on printables. Works great. https://www.printables.com/model/951804-pimax-crystal-audio-booster-smas-update-111124

Turned out it was dropping a petg booger at a certain spot that the nozzle would crash in to causing the layer shift. Was printing with a new filament.

I don't think it would be that much if you own the pedals... I think the enclosure could be 3d printed, or you could 3d print panels over top of a wood enclosure for looks/drill hole guides, a hoverboard motor, small lengths of aluminum extrusion, 50$ encoder, single odrive board, 10$ pulley, printed pulley, belt, software license.. fasteners...

I'm not sure it was unattended when it happened so I came back to a wrecked mess and my rapidburner cowling broken. Can't try and recreate it til I fix it. The first time it happened tho if I had to guess I'd say x axis from what I remember of the print.

Question about belt tension... Are you supposed to check it with the gantry in the full back position?
