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

Fhmmm, maybe it could be tested with the Rhino and the AH64. just x axis for rudder, will try later...
MOh yea, good idea
MTry a warbird too!
MAnd an f14!
Wwhew, software update is out finally 
Phopefully the Constellation Alpha Prime inputs match the Alpha inputs
Dthey should be detected as the same device regarding inputs, they are effectively the same stick
D@thezoq2 question, you managed to got DCS running on linux via your walkthrough on github
Was that steam only? Or standalone too

DNvm im blind! Found it
Did you have any issues with the ground textures though?
Did you have any issues with the ground textures though?
TOn marianas yes, on the other maps no
Dso syria and such are good to go?
TYep, on my system at least. I have faint memories of other texture issues that people have had, but I haven't seen them
TAlso, smoke renders incorrectly
TAnd some texture issues on recent ED modules which can be fixed by re-exporting some files
Das in it doesn't render? or
Dand is that the colour smoke or trails?
Dor just everything
TMost smoke trails, missile trails, large fires, flares etc.
They do render but as evenly spaced blobs rather than trails

Dah, well i'll just have to get used to that 
Dsounds like DCS is a go too then, time to download Noobuntu and wipe my PC clean
TYep, it's perfectly playable, just looks a bit weird occationally. Welcome to the dark side 
CIt's more like welcome to the right side
CWe're all living by the wrong side, Windows 
Dquestion @thezoq2 im trying to install DCS through your tutorial, but on the manual installation im not entirely sure what you mean with
you want me to run winetricks first?
or do i need to run DCS first? in wine?
Start the game once first to create the prefix, then run
<tricks command> vcrun2019 corefonts xact d3dcompiler_43
This should be all it takes to get standalone working.

Dnvm! seems to do something different on winetricks right now
Doh never mind that either, it's complaining about "blabla bla space in downloads (why? i told it to install it somewhere else!) but only x mb available)

Is there a limit stick deflection option?
I want a crisp 45° for both axis. But I'm designing this about 46°-47°
Can I limit it in your software?

WYeah, the software endstops feature is what you're looking for.
S@walmis the other day you posted the drawing for the 86BLF, can you post the 57BLF? im planning on a 10:1 gearbox (on a 400mm stick, 30deg total travel) and recall one user saying the shaft is kinda long on the 57
WSure, I'll post it tomorrow, signing out for today 
TYou need to run it once to get a prefix, then winetricks in that prefix
BPerfect
Dah yeah it installed but it's all whack at the moment
DManaged to get it installing, took some extra help but on my way now!
TIs Force Feedback supported in MSFS?
or is Force Feedback only implemented so far in DCS and IL-2?
or is Force Feedback only implemented so far in DCS and IL-2?
TMSFS doesn't support DX force feedback natively
TMay need XPForce, but it isn't very flexible in its options
TWhere can I find what DX and XPForce do and the differences between the 2?
I know only VPForce FFB

DI believe DX refers to DirectX which to my limited understanding has to do with controller support
TYeah it doesn't have any DirectX effects
TIt's just plain stick
TUnless VPForce is able to tap into SimVars and create effects in house
WSimVars? I thought SimConnect is for MSFS
TYe, we're discussing MSFS FFB
Tok, so it works fine with DCS and IL-2, but not really with MSFS. Got it!
(I originally thought it would also work with MSFS as I have a motion rig (SFX DIY hardware) that works with the telemetry (SRS software) out of DCS, IL-2 and MSFS)

WIf anyone get keybindings in DCS broken after update (because the VPforce device name got changed), you can run the following command in cmd to rename all the keybinding files in DCS Saved games directory Config/Input

Fokay, i just tested to use the x axis of my rhino as rudder and chose pedals trimmer mode "INSTANT TRIM (FFB FRIENDLY)"... well, sadly it doesn't work. what works is the removal of spring force during holding down the trimmer button. but after release the stick snaps back to center and doesn't hold the intended position. i guess we need ED for built-in support here. because the lack of existing FFB pedals this might take a while
For some magic mojo via FFB pedal firmware if someone ever builds a set of pedals with a DIY kit.
Dthanks for trying
Fwell, it could work by going the dirty hack way that Brunner is doing. trimming from the "outside" of DCS. but only for the pedals, since for a cyclic it works superb in DCS.
