Haha I'm going through the same thing right now

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:15 AM

Is crazy

F14 omg

Ha ha, like I said, sorry about missing the obvious!

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:16 AM

I'm just restarting dcs all the time when I make changes

MMagpie I'm just restarting dcs all the time when I make changes

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 9:17 AM

right, well I need to do the firmware possibly & just install the software etc. really just want to get the Ka50 set up & go test this thing out!

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:19 AM

Finally just figured out I had the wrong ffb axis inverted

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:19 AM

F5 trim was driving me insane

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:20 AM

Hey if the stick is waaaay more further forward than I think it should be for the f5

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:20 AM

Do I change a setting?

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:21 AM

I think that's the way it is in DCS

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:21 AM

the F-5 has short FWD travel, and much more AFT travel ?

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:21 AM

Can't rememeber exactly

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:22 AM

Yeah

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:22 AM

Maybe I have to change the endstop

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:22 AM

It's there a way to make changes in the app on the fly without having to restart dcs?

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:23 AM

Oh it messes up DCS if you change settings in the app ?

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:23 AM

Generally it should work without restarting DCS

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:23 AM

Nah the stick just goes dead sometimes

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:24 AM

Ah, I'll need to have a look

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:24 AM

Ahhhh gimme a day to trial and error it

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:24 AM

Amazing dude tho thanks so much

Wwalmis the F-5 has short FWD travel, and much more AFT travel ?

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:25 AM

Like in game the stick is vertical but in the simpit it's almost at the front stop

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 9:25 AM

Is it a viable strategy to make one profile each for helicopters, fly-by-wire & warbirds/ga then make copy & tweak from there? or just easier to make a seperate one for each aircraft as you come across it?

MMagpie Amazing dude tho thanks so much

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:25 AM

My pleasure

PPiNKSH!T Is it a viable strategy to make one profile each for helicopters, fly-by-wire & ...

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:26 AM

Yeah, that's the idea. You can use the Export/Import functionality

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:26 AM

I might have to take out the leather because sometimes it pinches between the stick and the edge

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:26 AM

When I do an unloaded roll

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:27 AM

So dope tho

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:27 AM

I gotta learn what all the settings do

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:27 AM

Also what's the best trim setting for helicopters?

MMagpie Like in game the stick is vertical but in the simpit it's almost at the front st...

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 9:28 AM

would playing with the axis curve along with the endstop, you probs already done this tho?

You can adjust the calibration values so it reaches the edge a bit further from the physical edge

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 9:31 AM

oh you don't have to do this manually while calibrating? like with a physical endstop, that's so cool

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:33 AM

Yeah so these adjust the physical to logical range of motion. Once the motor(raw_x/raw_y) reaches min/max value windows will see max deflection

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:34 AM

in addition there's the endstops feature, that let's you customize the max deflections in the four quadrants even more

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:34 AM

Ahhhh yeah good idea

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:35 AM

Fark f14 was fun before, now it's unreal

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 9:45 AM

Sorry Walmis, but for the first time I plug the base in, do I just go to your website & then click update firmware? or can the same be done from the pc install version, I can't see the option?

walmisOP•12/15/22, 9:46 AM

Which version is installed currently?

Magpie•12/15/22, 9:48 AM

Ah don't worry I worked out the F5, I'd picked the ffb option in special but linear seems more accurate

Wwalmis Which version is installed currently?

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 10:02 AM

sorry I was playing with the stick like a child lol, the bases' is v1.0.12 looks like the current is v1.0.2-4 is that right?

walmisOP•12/15/22, 10:03 AM

No need to update, you have the latest

Wwalmis No need to update, you have the latest 🙂

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 10:08 AM

oh yeah that's the web version build number I was looking at oops. That's just another goal mate, coming shipped with the latest firmware & my PC picked up the stick & told me to go to the web page & connect etc. nice work Walmis!

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 2:46 PM

Hey walmis are you around? just needed an explanation on the endstops, I'm a little unsure on what to change in the settings. Thanks m8

walmisOP•12/15/22, 2:49 PM

So max position is the amount of travel the endstop will engage at, and max power is the amount of power the motors will resist at, you can try 50% power and 50% Max Pos. It should reduce the travel by 5o%

walmisOP•12/15/22, 2:50 PM

Rescale axes - this will remap axes so that when you reach the endstop, the game/OS will see full travel

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 2:51 PM

ahh cool, just wasn't sure, yeah looking at it again I see it now, green & red are the + & - % limits & the power is how much power/torque will be used to hold it from 'breaking' through the endstop limit?

PiNKSH!T•12/15/22, 2:51 PM

cheers m8

walmisOP•12/15/22, 2:52 PM

those fields are X positive, X negative, Y positive, Y negative. So you can change the endstops based on direction (or quadrant of movement). So for example you can limit pitch down to 50% and have a full pitch-up range.
