Thanks for this clarification. I suppose that this is exactly how the real Apache (and other Hellis) work.

that's pretty much how all IRL helictopers work. exceptions being maybe "trim resets" and things that also have a nudging trim feature

@vkb.operator

Cpt_Adhesive•8/29/22, 5:41 AM

VKB is showing interest in FFB, I see

Cpt_Adhesive•8/29/22, 5:41 AM

Regardless if it's business-related or not, welcome

My only wish is that this stick will help me not to rip the wings off my F-5

Vladinsky•8/29/22, 7:49 AM

The higher force would probably counter the urge to yank the stick somewhat

Cpt_Adhesive•8/29/22, 8:40 AM

That is until you get used to the feedback

Cpt_Adhesive•8/29/22, 8:40 AM

But by then you'll probably have a good habit in not yoinking your inputs around

MMagpie My only wish is that this stick will help me not to rip the wings off my F-5

ddrake1984•8/29/22, 8:55 AM

Don’t kid yourself, you’ll still do that

Deleted User•8/29/22, 9:16 AM

ripping wings? all i know is spinning out of control! - F1 gang
nah just kidding, it doesn't- just please don't abuse the airplane

Magpie•8/29/22, 11:32 AM

Haha yeah I'm just always riding that edge in the initial merge lol. Hopefully the pressure helps!

Pfhoenix•8/29/22, 1:38 PM

@walmis any Rhinos recently shipped?

Deleted User•8/29/22, 2:40 PM

still trying to catch them i assume

Pfhoenix•8/29/22, 2:48 PM

maybe the delays are due to rhinos loose in the new lab

Pfhoenix•8/29/22, 2:49 PM

and while I don't want to bug the guy, two weeks without an update is too long

Jarmak•8/29/22, 3:15 PM

Last I remember hearing I think 16 is next and he was planning on getting a few out this week

Wwalmis Nice! But still no FFB 😄

Pfhoenix•8/29/22, 3:21 PM

I was more mentioning it to see if you knew anything about any features the Alpha Prime grip uses that'd require software updating for the Rhino

PPfhoenix @walmis any Rhinos recently shipped?

walmis•8/29/22, 3:28 PM

Not yet, but worked on manufacturing/sourcing necessary parts and focused more on software/firmware updates this week.

Pfhoenix•8/29/22, 3:28 PM

cool beans!

SwiftVengeance•8/29/22, 8:38 PM

oooh

SwiftVengeance•8/29/22, 8:38 PM

rudder too?

SwiftVengeance•8/29/22, 8:38 PM

now I really want to see that

ddrake1984•8/30/22, 1:27 AM

I would love ffb rudders, but I want my stick first

Magpie•8/30/22, 2:13 AM

Ffb mod for virpil rudders

Magpie•8/30/22, 2:13 AM

Does dcs export ffb to rudders anyway?

TheFace•8/30/22, 2:23 AM

Il2 doesn't

ddrake1984•8/30/22, 4:50 AM

there is an FFB option for rudders in DCS, but that could be for only selective airframes?

Flashgod_VR•8/30/22, 8:05 AM

hmmm, maybe it could be tested with the Rhino and the AH64. just x axis for rudder, will try later...

Magpie•8/30/22, 8:21 AM

Oh yea, good idea

Magpie•8/30/22, 8:21 AM

Try a warbird too!

Magpie•8/30/22, 8:24 AM

And an f14!

walmis•8/30/22, 6:01 PM

whew, software update is out finally

Pfhoenix•8/30/22, 6:36 PM

hopefully the Constellation Alpha Prime inputs match the Alpha inputs

ddrake1984•8/30/22, 10:46 PM

they should be detected as the same device regarding inputs, they are effectively the same stick

Deleted User•8/31/22, 6:08 AM

@thezoq2 question, you managed to got DCS running on linux via your walkthrough on github
Was that steam only? Or standalone too

Deleted User•8/31/22, 6:13 AM

Nvm im blind! Found it
Did you have any issues with the ground textures though?

TheZoq2•8/31/22, 7:28 AM

On marianas yes, on the other maps no

TTheZoq2 On marianas yes, on the other maps no

Deleted User•8/31/22, 7:55 AM

so syria and such are good to go?

TheZoq2•8/31/22, 8:00 AM

Yep, on my system at least. I have faint memories of other texture issues that people have had, but I haven't seen them

TheZoq2•8/31/22, 8:00 AM

Also, smoke renders incorrectly

TheZoq2•8/31/22, 8:01 AM

And some texture issues on recent ED modules which can be fixed by re-exporting some files

TTheZoq2 Also, smoke renders incorrectly

Deleted User•8/31/22, 8:04 AM

as in it doesn't render? or

Deleted User•8/31/22, 8:04 AM

and is that the colour smoke or trails?

Deleted User•8/31/22, 8:04 AM

or just everything

TheZoq2•8/31/22, 8:05 AM

Most smoke trails, missile trails, large fires, flares etc.

They do render but as evenly spaced blobs rather than trails

Deleted User•8/31/22, 8:05 AM

ah, well i'll just have to get used to that

Deleted User•8/31/22, 8:06 AM

sounds like DCS is a go too then, time to download Noobuntu and wipe my PC clean

TheZoq2•8/31/22, 9:21 AM

Yep, it's perfectly playable, just looks a bit weird occationally. Welcome to the dark side evilkermit

Cpt_Adhesive•8/31/22, 3:56 PM

It's more like welcome to the right side
