@walmis Concerning the EmerOff-Switch: If wired directly in line with the PSU it has to withstand some 10A+. Is there an ESO-input into the controller or do you have wired the EmerOff via Relais?

Yeah, that's the worst case current. It averages much lower. The switch is wired in series with the supply positive.

Anyone else seem to get alot of forward stick with the DCS F14? As though the stick centre is off? I'm sure its a problem with the module, just wondering if there is a fix I've missed..

walmis•1/10/23, 6:45 AM

I think F-14 trim is forward by nature of the aircraft

Wwalmis I think F-14 trim is forward by nature of the aircraft

roller25.•1/10/23, 6:54 AM

Yeah. But I think the stick position is incorrectly modeled, or maybe a case of tuning forward and back throw distances in VPForce...

When the stick ingame is positioned perpendicular to the floor, the actual physical position of the stick is actually way forward..

roller25.•1/10/23, 6:56 AM

...which makes it feel a bit weird in VR.

walmis•1/10/23, 7:01 AM

Yeah, I guess there is a need to have a VPforce profile per module of DCS

walmis•1/10/23, 7:02 AM

I have an idea to autoswitch profiles based on the DCS telemetry in my development roadmap

roller25.•1/10/23, 7:05 AM

Just looking at the real F14 stick.. it looks as though the grip is not collinear to the the lower stick shaft (if that makes sense?) So the behaviour is correct in DCS, however stick position is based off the main lower shaft. The grip appears to be angled rearward ~10 degrees to compensate for the forward stick position..

I wonder, without having to make an adapter to mimic the stick position, if there is a way to compensate through software?

roller25.•1/10/23, 7:09 AM

roller25.•1/10/23, 7:17 AM

walmis•1/10/23, 7:17 AM

Yeah, you can adjust the center position with axis calibration tool

Wwalmis Yeah, you can adjust the center position with axis calibration tool

roller25.•1/10/23, 7:21 AM

Will have a play with that. Obviously with that solution there will be a loss of range of motion in one direction..

Perhaps a physical angled adapter might be the only perfect solution.

walmis•1/10/23, 7:22 AM

ah yes, you are correct

roller25.•1/10/23, 7:24 AM

(Unless Heatblur changed the ffb stick position to be based off the grip position)

walmis•1/10/23, 7:24 AM

Probably would be a good idea to add "center position" to the endstops feature

Wwalmis Probably would be a good idea to add "center position" to the endstops feature

roller25.•1/10/23, 7:28 AM

That would be handy.

roller25.•1/10/23, 7:34 AM

Just made a request in the DCS F14 forum..

Magpie•1/10/23, 8:24 AM

Magpie•1/10/23, 8:24 AM

Prototype way to make physical end stops for extensions

Magpie•1/10/23, 8:25 AM

So the range of motion isn't so huge

Magpie•1/10/23, 8:25 AM

I don't mind a simulated end stop for when I push the stick forward

Magpie•1/10/23, 8:26 AM

But it's nice to feel an actual stop for side to side

Magpie•1/10/23, 8:30 AM

Yeah I've just got in he habit of making different profiles with different max y values in the axis setup for different modules

peachmonkey•1/10/23, 12:50 PM

this maybe not applicable to your issue, but just in case, in all WWII fighters if you add a 'curve' to the pitch axis then DCS FFB moves the FFB spring center forward and it no longer matches the stick center

PiNKSH!T•1/10/23, 1:28 PM

Is it just me or can I see a Virpil angled adapter fitting in there?

Merlins51•1/10/23, 4:06 PM

I have certainly noticed when flying the F-14 with the Rhino that upon loading a session in flight the stick moves way forward resulting in a violent pitch-down. Once that's been trimmed back out there's no issue for the remainder of the flight.

Vulcan•1/10/23, 4:32 PM

Does that happen with a cold dark pit spawn?

Harq•1/10/23, 5:51 PM

So some things arrived today.

Harq•1/10/23, 5:53 PM

1x small motor kit (for crosswind conversion)

Harq•1/10/23, 5:53 PM

Oh, and this, obviously.

Harq•1/10/23, 5:54 PM

Unfortunately I've been sick for the last few days and didn't get to finish simpit, so it'll be a few days before I get to try her out.

Harq•1/10/23, 5:56 PM

Things that I've noticed already that make me happy: coming from someone who uses dials a lot on guitar & guitar pedals, the tension adjust knob/pot feels NICE. It's got that heavy damped feel I enjoy.

Harq•1/10/23, 5:57 PM

This made me sensibly chuckle

Harq•1/10/23, 6:00 PM

The fit and finish is excellent on the Rhino itself, including the 3d printed parts which cover the tension knob, fan covers, large pulleys, and stick connection thread adapter.

walmis•1/10/23, 6:06 PM

Awesome! Glad everything arrived safely

FlatSpin•1/10/23, 6:11 PM

is anyone using the virpil gooseneck extension on the stock rhino base? I'm just wondering if you feel the forces with the stock motors are enough with this much of an extension?

walmis•1/10/23, 6:14 PM

@magpiee uses a long extension

sliphavoc•1/10/23, 6:14 PM

I plan to use the VKB curved 20 cm extension with mine, although IIRC I measured the total distance from the actual gimbal to the grip and a 10 cm extension might be closer to what I have now (VKB Gunfighter base with the 20 cm extension).

FFlatSpin is anyone using the virpil gooseneck extension on the stock rhino base? I'm jus...

Vulcan•1/10/23, 6:38 PM

Is it just me or is the virpil extension canted forward at the top? I wonder if this will be comfortable if it is, I've always used straight extensions

Vulcan•1/10/23, 6:39 PM

I know the f16 stick for right hand use has a forward angle, not sure about how it will feel center stick

FlatSpin•1/10/23, 6:48 PM

not that I've noticed, I already have the gooseneck. I plan on keeping the viper grip mounted sidestick. I was debating on whether or not to just get the winwing fssb specifically for that, and have the Rhino center stick for everything else.
