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

WWell, that's how it is. I think you can change the trim behaviour in SPECIAL options section for the F-5
S
WDisplaced neutral gives this behaviour
S
SI guess I have to experiment
S@mike_aka_mugs what's your setting in this special menu?
Mwill check
Sin linear
Syou can see I can achieve hands off trimmed flight with 5 degrees pitch up and slight back pressure on the stick
M
Snonlinear feels the same as linear.
SFrom what I've read, the stick should provide more back pressure around the center point as this increased resistance allows better fine grained control (the F15 is this way). However the F18 has a linear 40lb pull regardless of stick excursion.
SAnyway, thank you for reassurring me that the issue is my ignorance and confusion.
SBTW CP for linear is 38 and CP for nonlinear is 2045
MFrom mem I have gleaned from NATOPS the F18 has a break out force, then a constant Around 6.5Kg then a big increase in force as you get up into the high AOA
SF18:
SFull pitch travel 40lbs rear(NATOPS claims 35lbs) 20lbs forward with 3lbs breakout force.
3.5-4.5lbs/G
Full roll travel 13lbs with 2lbs breakout force.

MThat full 40lbs comes in with the AOA cant remember the Range but prob around 11+ AOA
M2.8.2.8 Control Augmentation System (CAS) AOA feedback provides increasing stick force with increasing AOA above 22°
RI've been meaning to ask about VPforce breakout force.. @walmis
To my understanding, "breakout force" is the amount of force needed to move the physical location of the stick away from centre.
It seems in VPforce that with breakout force enabled, the physical position of the stick moves with a lagging reaction of the virtual position depending on force value.

VHey @.flatspin,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0044 on 2023-02-01
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 117 days, median is 116 days, max is 196 days
41 Rhinos are shipped in total

F@walmis just checking - invoice 'VPF-0124' with bank details is legit from you? 
WHmm, looks like main.py script did not install the lua stuff. Is there a telemFFB.lua in the scripts dir? Did my app ask to install the lua scripts?
PNo I never got asked to install any lua scripts, I put this one here as I thought it says to do in the instructions;
WAh it's openbeta. Do you have the latest version from github?
P
PI donloaded my version on the 2/2/23
WYeah, the main.py should ask to install lua stuff
Pif I double click on the main.py a window flashes up for a moment then closes, if I run it through the cmd line like you told me last night, I get the Telemetry Window pop up but nothing shows up in that window when in a plane
WYeah, it should pop up a message asking whether to install it

WJust pushed an update
WIt should run by launching main.py directly now
PI dunno wtf I'm doing wrong, I used git to download & install, did the install requirements line, said already meets requirements, tried it again launching via cmd line main.py, got the same Telemetry window again but nothing in-game again as before
PI'll try the update via git?
P
Pat least it did install into this folder, last time I was running it from the un zipped folder I downloaded manually from git hub
WYeah, date looks good
Phow do I update via git?
Wrun
git pull when inside that folderPopen powershell window in there?
Wyep
Pdone the update but when I click the main.py I just get the same window flash for a moment then nothing else?
Wwhat does
git log show?
