Ah, yes that was the one I was thinking about when asking the initial question.. I am thinking of using the control VPC panel #3 as a throttle for fighter jets when I'm not flying helicopters, and was wondering how well it works for the jets.. Also, come to mind is that perhaps the VPC panel #3 might be too low when collective is in a resting position

keem85•1/11/23, 2:56 PM

..meaning it would probably only be comfortable to use (within reach) when flying helicopters only.. Hmm

Oh I figured it was either that or bot error. Just didn't think anyone would be canceling that early into the queue, but I suppose life happens!

Just got my neat virpil collective.
Anyone know why there are two usbs on the cable?

ddrake1984•1/11/23, 8:57 PM

One for the base, One for the grip

Dddrake1984 One for the base, One for the grip

keem85•1/11/23, 9:08 PM

Are they two seperate controllers in the joystick control-panel? Right now I don't have a grip, only the base

Dddrake1984 One for the base, One for the grip

blave549•1/11/23, 10:24 PM

I don't think that's correct. For just the base/grip, use the black connector. I think the red one is if you plug something into the Aux jack of the base (e.g. switch panel). I've never used the red connector as my Shark panel is connected directly via USB.

FlatSpinOP•1/11/23, 10:29 PM

the aux jack is for slaving panels I believe

Anthony•1/11/23, 10:41 PM

Yup, there’s no external cable for the grip

TonyZ2525•1/12/23, 12:08 AM

@keem85 Red connector is for plugging into a second USB port for additional power if needed...it is not for data.

FFlatSpin what does the manual say?

Ah, ok I was starting to wonder, as I got the invoice and tracking number a couple days ago but the #36 hadn't been announced by the bot yet, I guess a couple people must have backed out. Too bad for them, and great for me! I'm really looking forward to having a FFB joystick again after so many years!

but would I have to submit seperate order for the VKB and winwing adapter to be included?

Duckdown•1/13/23, 6:15 PM

Does anyone know if we can enable the force feedback effects that you would feel in an analog airplane into fly-by-wire modules like the F/A-18 or F-16?

DDuckdown Does anyone know if we can enable the force feedback effects that you would feel...

FlatSpinOP•1/13/23, 9:12 PM

The module would need to support it. It's my understanding that the Viper has force sensing but not FFB. The Hornet has none to my knowledge, although I could be wrong. Heatblur seems to be the only one that cares about FFB with the Tomcat module. I suspect we'll see the same with the release of the Phantom.

Duckdown•1/13/23, 9:54 PM

I think you are correct, hence my question. FFB in the modern modules might not be "realistic" but the added immersion would be great if implemented.

Vulcan•1/13/23, 10:24 PM

ED has consistently said even less than a year ago that FFB is not implemented because it is not common enough for them to invest time into

Vulcan•1/13/23, 10:30 PM

Probably the same guys working on vulkan implementation, so we'll see better FFB support in 2030

It's not the end of the world though between hardware trim, flying helo's and the F14 I'm mostly satisfied. I know some people don't like helo modules so it's worse for them

Vulcan•1/13/23, 10:33 PM

Getting a buttkicker, jetseat or motion sim also helps so you get your rumble fix from something other than the stick

Viktor Martin•1/13/23, 11:15 PM

Viktor Martin•1/13/23, 11:16 PM

Wait, did ED make the 109? If so does that mean FFB wouldn't work wit it?

Duckdown•1/13/23, 11:39 PM

I can share a document later this weekend with a list of the modules and folks with knowledge can say whether FFB is enabled. Would be unfortunate if someone exclusively flies modern modules and gets a joystick that doesn't move!

Stoned Kakapo•1/13/23, 11:45 PM

Helis are the main reason I'm getting this, that and for future improvement on the av8b's ffb profile.
Buttkicker and jetseat are such a sick combo, I can't play without them now

Viktor Martin•1/14/23, 1:29 AM

I'm mainly looking forward to having FFB for the 109, since it's my go to warbird.

no, it just allows you to mount a control panel to the collective. https://virpil-controls.us.com/v
