The rolling effects use Constant, so that maybe it 🙂

It is getting closer, I feel it

Hi there,
I was wondering if the base is producing a lot of vibrations when running.
Thanks

walmisOP•1/26/23, 12:26 PM

Hi, depends on the effects. It can shake the stick quite a lot for AoA buffeting for example

walmisOP•1/26/23, 12:27 PM

but for simple spring/damper it's smooth and silent

Simon2012•1/26/23, 2:13 PM

Copy, thanks !

skyPickle•1/26/23, 6:08 PM

why is this app even needed? My stick vibrates at stall speed in a mossie. But I did notice it is pretty lame when flying the Dora

It augments the effects, some modules are pretty lacking on that front.

Is that 100% in both the effects and settings tabs?

walmisOP•1/26/23, 7:40 PM

only in settings

Does anyone have the button mapping for the Hotas Warthog Stick?

AsBurli•1/26/23, 8:36 PM

And would kindly make it available to me.

Hello,

I have a question about force feedback in general.
I thought the introduction of XINPUT (in 2005) (instead of directinput) killed FFB.
Because according to the documentation:(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/xinput/ns-xinput-xinput_capabilities) : "Note that these force-feedback features beyond rumble are not currently supported through XINPUT on Windows."

Only rumble is not really force feedback (I think anyway).
So I thought no more FFB joysticks would be made, because (as I understood) games that want to offer force feedback couldn't use Xinput but had to use the old directinput. (unless they just wanted to to rumble, then you can use xinput)

But am I wrong about this?
Where am I wrong? Do new flight sims still support force feedback? And how do they do this? (And why are they doing this?)

XINPUT_CAPABILITIES (xinput.h) - Win32 apps

Describes the capabilities of a connected controller. The XInputGetCapabilities function returns XINPUT_CAPABILITIES.

There is quite a bit of info related to your question already posted. Suggest you start at the top and have a good read here, support, suggestions and showcase. We don't need Walmis distracted he has hundreds of FFB joysticks to make. Lol

baksteendegeweldige•1/26/23, 9:43 PM

Yes found a lot thanks! To sum it up; if you want real FFB the game needs to implement directinput or an abstraction of directinput like libSDL or a plugin like xpforce (which then handles directinput)

Wwalmis It augments the effects, some modules are pretty lacking on that front.

Phantom•1/26/23, 11:41 PM

If only everyone could be bothered to implement the full potential from a FFB stick, there sadly seems a general ignorance to the purpose of the FFB beyond being a gimicky stick shaker, as evidenced in a couple of developer forums on DCS in previous conversations I have had about implementation, some flat out can't be bothered at all.

skyPickle•1/26/23, 11:43 PM

Ok so i need to run a python script before dcs. Thats it?!

skyPickle•1/26/23, 11:44 PM

The dora is pretty lame but then again its an older module

skyPickle•1/26/23, 11:45 PM

How impactful have the 30 people with this ffb stick found the python script to be?

skyPickle•1/26/23, 11:46 PM

Do we need a separate channel to focus the discussion?

Hey @Cacique,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0038 on 2023-01-26
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 107 days, median is 110 days, max is 196 days
36 Rhinos are shipped in total

roller25.•1/27/23, 2:34 AM

@walmis would it be possible to start aoa effects at a certain aoa, then stop at a higher aoa with no effect beyond that? So say only effective between 17-25 degrees?

I've read a flight test report on a Super Hornet and it displayed buffeting between those angles..

roller25.•1/27/23, 6:35 AM

Anyone able to get ground effect working for the F/A-18? I've enable constant force but still not feeling anything during ground roll..

AsBurli•1/27/23, 10:16 AM

Is there a standard button mapping for the Hotas Warthog? In the default 'generic' settings the button mapping is not the same as the Warthog. So I would have to adjust the mapping or rewrite all my patterns in DCS for the stick.

walmisOP•1/27/23, 10:23 AM

It should be the same, the bit layout is not changed what is read from the grip.

walmisOP•1/27/23, 10:25 AM

Unless TM base changes the layout

AsBurli•1/27/23, 10:30 AM

Example on the Warthog Base Trigger 2nd detent is button A. On the Rhino Board another button is recognized. So I can't use a copy of the stick configuration because the assignment of the buttons doesn't fit. I am currently on the road and can only provide you with exact details this evening.

For real! I'm curious @walmis, are you setting up parallel lines of production or just really speeding up the time on which you can get one unit made?
