Is there somewhere a kind of an manual? I fiddle a lot with the settings, but I'm not completely sure how interact with each other. Would be nice to get a better understanding of the possibilities of the software. I watched this "beginners" YouTube, but like I said, still scratching my head.

No, Walmis said he would create a better tutorial/ manual at some point but for now just read the previous posts in here.

Vulcan•2/6/23, 8:18 PM

Fly a bit with the default settings then get a feel for what you feel like you're missing and would want to tweak then see if there is a setting for that

Wwalmis It's not sudden like in the brunner, but very gradual

amadeus•2/6/23, 8:29 PM

is it using noctua fans? or something else?

walmis•2/6/23, 8:31 PM

Fans are generic ones, nothing special

Also if you hover mouse on the controls there are tooltip popups that might help somewhat.

not sure what I've done wrong but during the f18 tutorials I'm not getting any ffb effects, I'm double clicking main.py in the telemetry app folder, I get a window that flashes up for a moment then closes, am I doing something wrong?

walmis•2/7/23, 8:37 AM

yeah, it doesn't run like that for some reason. I'll need to look into it. Run python main.pypython main.py from powershell meanwhile.

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 8:38 AM

how do I do that sorry?

walmis•2/7/23, 8:40 AM

same as you did with the pip installpip install stuff

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 8:52 AM

do I open a powershell window anywhere? or do I run it from python.exe?

walmis•2/7/23, 8:55 AM

you can also navigate to Vpforce-telemFFB directory, hit CTRL-L, enter cmdcmd, hit enter, then in that window type python main.pypython main.py

walmis•2/7/23, 9:08 AM

Did it start?

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 9:13 AM

sry m8, trying now, I got rudely called away from PC

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 9:14 AM

dcs crashed on start up

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 9:16 AM

must not of liked me typing in discord

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 9:16 AM

tried again & got to dcs main screen, I'll let you know how the f18 goes

JaegerOP•2/7/23, 12:38 PM

Hey guys, is there a way to get the Force Trim working with an VKB Stick on the VKB adaptor? I'm unable to bind the Hat Keys. Might be that I misunderstood the Loopback thingy in Grip type.

walmis•2/7/23, 12:53 PM

You need to launch the loopback application that's in the VPforce directory

JaegerOP•2/7/23, 12:56 PM

Ohhh.... You should issue a warning that old men are over the head in trouble configuring this beast

JaegerOP•2/7/23, 12:56 PM

Thank you

Wwalmis Did it start?

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 2:09 PM

sorry Walmis I got pulled away before I could really check it again, I did get it to work so I got effects with the SU 25t, but what effects should I get with the f-18?

walmis•2/7/23, 2:15 PM

weapon launch, gun fire, CMs, rolling on the runway, AoA buffet

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 2:21 PM

ok I'm going to give it a go again soon, let you know

walmis•2/7/23, 2:34 PM

The telemetry window should be a good indication if it works

Wwalmis The telemetry window should be a good indication if it works

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 4:20 PM

ok, I'm not getting any effects in the f18 & I'm guessing only dcs's ffb effects for the SU25t, just flew both then & nothing comes up in the Telemetry Window

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 4:23 PM

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 4:24 PM

those are the two windows that open

PiNKSH!T•2/7/23, 4:30 PM

Also I'm running all this before I start DCS

walmis•2/7/23, 5:01 PM

Could you post the file c:/users/<you>/Saved Games/DCS/Scripts/export.luac:/users/<you>/Saved Games/DCS/Scripts/export.lua ?

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:07 PM

I have an issue that may be a DCS fault or maybe how DCS is talking to the VP.

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:08 PM

When the stick is moved to a position where the aircraft is flying straight and level annd the controls indicator shows the stick centered, it is REALLY NOT centered. For example here is the A10C_2

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:08 PM

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:09 PM

When flying straight and level, the stick is halfway forward but DCS thinks its centered.

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:10 PM

This makes maneuvering challenging because I dont have room to push the stick as forward as I need to for DCS to recognize a full forward excursion.

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:10 PM

Here is an even more extreme case. The F5

walmis•2/7/23, 7:10 PM

That's how it's implemented in DCS

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:10 PM

Again, look at the VSI and you'll see Im flying pretty straight and level.

walmis•2/7/23, 7:11 PM

You can open Debug tab and see the CP (Center Point) value for spring

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:11 PM

However both VP and Windows see the stick almost fully forward (which it is) But DCS thinks its centered. In this case I have almost no ability to make the aircraft dive .

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:12 PM

ok, I am still paused in DCS in an F5 flying straight and level. Here is a pic of the debug tab

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:13 PM

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:13 PM

what am i looking at?

walmis•2/7/23, 7:14 PM

You can see virtual center is set by DCS to be -2607 on Y axis

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:14 PM

so CP is -2607

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:14 PM

yes I see it

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:14 PM

but my stick is properly calibrated

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:15 PM

walmis•2/7/23, 7:15 PM

Yes, it's working properly.

SskyPickle However both VP and Windows see the stick almost fully forward (which it is) But...

Mike (Mugs)•2/7/23, 7:15 PM

I use the F5 a lot and yes the stick is trimmed quite far forward in level flight apart from decending for level changes the correct procedure is roll and pull, once in the circuit and your in trim for final and on AOA the stick is quite far back

skyPickle•2/7/23, 7:16 PM

so how do i tell DCS the center point should be zero?

Is there somewhere a kind of an manual? I fiddle a lot with the settings, but I'm not completely sur
