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?P
WHm, still missed something. Try launching via python main.py
Pstill nothing, I tried running the python main.py command from a powershell window that I opened from the telemetry app install location, also from a cmd window from same location, this gives me the same result, telem window opens but nothing shows up, no effects in game f18, I tried again duble clicking the main.py itself & get the same unknown window that flashes open for a moment
Pare there any other logs that could help? is anyone else using the dcsopenbeta with the telemetry app?
RMake sure python is installed correctly.. from memory I had to reinstall but enable one of the check boxes that by default is unchecked. Can't remember which one it was though.
MI'm using Openbeata with the telemetry app, no issues
Pwe got it figured out, hopefuly anyway!
POk the latest Telemetry App update has got it working for me, now my question in how do I tweak the strength of the effects? The Telem window is telling me I should feel ground rumbling etc. I'm only feeling rumble with gun fire & AoA buffeting effects. Any help would be great
WWhich aircraft?
PHey m8, I've only tried the f-18 & Su25t
WDo you have "Constant effects" slider turned off by chance?
A@walmis which mini din plug do you use? (possibly with a link to the dealer) Did you design the mounts for these plugs yourself or do you use ready-made ones?
JJust for Information, @walmis . My VKB stick stopped to work. After some troubleshooting I found out that the was a cable loose in the VKB Adaptor. Not sure if it was just a bad solder, or if it was some pulling on the cable. I just Re routed it so it has a little more slack now.
WThanks for the feedback. You mean in the VKB head itself or the GX connector?
JIn your adaptor that little PCB in the maschined metal part. Very nicely done, Btw. That little dot helped a lot
WAh, so the wire came loose from the PCB ?
JYeap. Kind off looked like a bad solder but not completely sure. The cable seems to be tight enough in the adaptor to not being pulled out.

SI've been flying the Huey and noticed the trim button does not release stick pressure. As I understand it, pressing the trim button should release all force leaving the stick 'loose'. When I release the trim button, the stick should be held in place where I left it. The special options for the HUEY are set to Joystick without springs and FFB. In the MISC options, force feedback is enabled. In 'central position trimmer mode', the trim button releases stick pressure as it should but as soon as I release the trim button, the stick goes back to center.
PUnless thins have changed with recent updates the Huey was working fine for me a week or 2 back. I have my special settings on default I think not Joystick without springs and FFB, maybe try changing that to a different setting option?
Sdefault also pulls the stick to center when the trim button is released
Pok something must of changed recently then, I'll have a look at my settings when I can
PI'll jump on DCS later & have a look with my RHINO, but just checked then & my settings are on default? Are you running the force trim through VPforce app? & are you running the Telemetry app too? I wasn't using either of those last time I was in the Huey, something might be going on there?
Sno i had not enabled force trim in the VPforce app. What settings would one use there?
PSorry do you mean what setting would you use in DCS with the VPforce Force trim enabled?
S
Pyeah that's the setting, have you had that enabled while flying the Huey?
Syes, i just did. makes no diff. With Huey special setting on default and the VPforce as above, the stick still wants to go back to center on trim release
PYeah I think that might interfere with DCS's FFB, I think it's mainly just for sims like msfs that don't have ffb or force trim. I'm not sure what's going on, if you have no other things running like that force trim setting or the Telemetry app & you have the in-game settings right I'm not sure why it's not working. I'll check it out on my settings when I get the chance
Sgnight
WAlso make sure "Forced effect" is not enabled for the spring. That will override DCS's trim.
