@walmis
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?

Yeah, the software endstops feature is what you're looking for.

smitty•8/31/22, 7:21 PM

@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

Sure, I'll post it tomorrow, signing out for today

You need to run it once to get a prefix, then winetricks in that prefix

Is Force Feedback supported in MSFS?
or is Force Feedback only implemented so far in DCS and IL-2?

Tayga•9/1/22, 2:24 AM

MSFS doesn't support DX force feedback natively

Tayga•9/1/22, 2:24 AM

May need XPForce, but it isn't very flexible in its options

Deleted User•9/1/22, 5:54 AM

I believe DX refers to DirectX which to my limited understanding has to do with controller support

Tayga•9/1/22, 7:50 AM

Yeah it doesn't have any DirectX effects

Tayga•9/1/22, 7:50 AM

It's just plain stick

Tayga•9/1/22, 7:51 AM

Unless VPForce is able to tap into SimVars and create effects in house

walmis•9/1/22, 8:40 AM

SimVars? I thought SimConnect is for MSFS

Tayga•9/1/22, 8:54 AM

Ye, we're discussing MSFS FFB

TonyM•9/1/22, 9:05 AM

ok, 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)

walmis•9/1/22, 11:47 AM

If 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

for /r %x in (*9E573EDE-7734-11d2-8D4A-23903FB6BDF7*.diff.lua) do ren "%x" "VPforce Rhino FFB Joystick {9E573EDE-7734-11d2-8D4A-3903FB6BDF7}.diff.lua"

Flashgod_VR•9/1/22, 12:28 PM

okay, 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

Flashgod_VR•9/1/22, 12:30 PM

or some magic mojo via FFB pedal firmware if someone ever builds a set of pedals with a DIY kit.

ddrake1984•9/1/22, 12:38 PM

thanks for trying

Flashgod_VR•9/1/22, 12:45 PM

well, 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.

Flashgod_VR•9/1/22, 12:46 PM

basically forcing and holding the position, just for the pedal device.

The gimbal on the rhino is 3d printed, correct?
Are there any concerns of someone (not I I swear) getting to enthusiastic?

ram jam and mashing the stick? i hope not

yeah don't worry, it just reminds me to a kid at this one aviation museum mashing the pedals and stick as if he was making wine or something

Hello, I tested il Il2 the new "HW trim" mapped to a potentiometer : it worked great. Many thanks !

Hardo•9/5/22, 3:10 PM

This question might have been asked before, but if so I couldn't find it. How useful would a ffb stick be for a fly-by-wire plane, e.g F/A-8 of F-16?

Deleted User•9/5/22, 3:17 PM

AFAIK, however - im not sure how far this is implemented in DCS
but most Aircraft, FBW included - would have a system in place that would artificially restrain the controls using springs or some kind of computer, so the pilot isn't just yanking a dead piece of metal around while the plane flies all over the place... (except for F-16's ofcourse, that's force sensing!)
if it's enabled in DCS, you could try it in the harrier and manually disable the artificial feel system (i believe i saw a switch for that atleast)

Deleted User•9/5/22, 3:17 PM

but again, no idea if it's at all implemented

Cpt_Adhesive•9/5/22, 3:30 PM

Even if there would be no good FFB in a module I suppose you can turn the base into a normal spring stick (that's just my rough guess, not really sure how does all of that work, really

)

Deleted User•9/5/22, 3:31 PM

or use the new trim function to - well... trim things!

skeleton•9/5/22, 3:46 PM

^ this

Idk for sure but I think DCS itself handles spring and damper if there's no special FFB implementation in the module. I should try the Harrier again...
For other software (like MSFS because it doesn't support FFB (yet

) and in my opinion XPForce is really not good in MSFS) you can set the stock parameters in the Rhino Software like spring, damper, friction, ...

Cpt_Adhesive•9/5/22, 3:48 PM

that itself already sounds so much better than having a regular spring base...dampers

AndyHill•9/5/22, 3:52 PM

Ideally (I don't own the Rhino so can't tell from experience) you can use an FFB stick just like a regular stick with incredible amount of adjustability

AndyHill•9/5/22, 3:53 PM

Or you can use it to replicate the specific feel of any given stick, for example different amount of travel or resistance on elevator / aileron, different kinds of centering feels etc.

AndyHill•9/5/22, 3:54 PM

It's of course entirely up to the stick and its software just how well that's going to work and like I said I don't have the Rhino so I just don't know

skeleton•9/5/22, 3:59 PM

The customisation options for the Rhino are already very good so your assumptions are correct

aerotorc•9/6/22, 12:23 AM

Harrier at the moment doesn't support the stick "center" moving under trim, we've raised this on the ED forum and no word from the developer about fixing it. Many other modules, such as the F-5E and F-14, do support this, however.
