For what it's worth, MSFFB-stick behaves the same. Neutral position is forward from center.

SI'm trying to get a handle on some of the telemetry data DCS is sending out. Some aircraft are different than others. So I downloaded and executed Walmis' wonderful VPForce-TelemFFB github. I installed it and got it to run.
SHere for example is some of the output:
SBut I want to get a 'recording' to compare various aircraft.
SSo I installed teleplot and got it to run as well.
SI know teleplot is working because this command:
Secho "myData:1234" | ncat -u -w5 127.0.0.1 47269 actually results in a chart on a browser window opened to 127.0.0.1:8080 (This is the port that the teleplot server uses.)
S(ncat is the windows version of netcat)
SBut when I start Walmis' FFB-telemetry with this:
S>python main.py --teleplot "127.0.0.1:47269" The teleplot browser window stays unchanged-as if it's waiting for data.
SI must be missing something basic and hope someone here can see my mistake-prob a syntax error?
Fwindows firewall?
KI'm kind of blind, is there a readme for the software? I just got the stick and want to jump in to IL2 immediately
PHey m8 good news is that the RHINO will work out of the box so to say with IL2, IL2 has FFB effects implemented very well including trim moves the stick. What specifically do you need help with m8?
KI'll send you a DM so we don't clog this channel up
Pyeah you can DM if you like, don't worry too much tough, I've clogged this channel up with many questions! lol
Sif it was a firewall entry blocking teleplot then I wouldnt be able to send it data from the command line using netcat.
SThe hercules mod has no FFB. Prob a shortcoming of the mod that doesnt broadcast telemetry
Kmy black box is flashing red when I use the VKB adapter
AI find it curious that this is only the case for me with the A10. This does not occur with the F/A18.
Walso F-5
JThat's no problem. It just shows that the input from the base is missing, should not affect the stick.
JHave the same and being able to use the stick, or flash a new one of I change them.
SWhen i boot pc, stick thinks it’s centered
S
SBut it is not
S
SRecalibration is good
S
SBut needed w every pc reboot
AThe Stick should be nearly in center position when you power it on
AYou are storing the config instead of just sending it?
SNope didnt store, i'll try that. I thought store was volatile
Sthank you
Ait's the opposite
Asend is temporary, store is permanentish
SYes it is realistic that the stick has to be more forward when flying faster in aircraft with traditional controls and vice versa when you slow down the stick has to be further aft to maintain level flight. It is simulated like it is to give you a realistic amount of throw to each direction. Short available movement forwards and a lot of movement backwards. What probably isn’t entirely realistic is that the “neutral” position where the axis lines cross at the controls indicator (LCtrl + enter) the stick is tilted so much forward. Quite likely in the real aircraft that position is such that the grip would be pointing straight up. To fix that you’d need to tilt the Rhino base backwards when flying A10 or if that is not possible then I think you could shorten the Rhino’s forward throw with the VPForce configurator’s end stops function.
SWell, I did a quick test and frankly didn’t understand how to use the end stops function. Instead I changed my Ymin calibration point to about halfway of the available forward pitch motion and that made the A10 fly straight and level with the stick pretty much centered.
MYep that's what I did
YI think you can turn that off in the VKB software. I went in and changed the status light colors but that was awhile ago and I can't explain it
Pthey endstop function is to limit the length of throw on each axis & even further the + & - of each axis can be adjusted. Basically if you set the end stop to 50% you will have only 50% of the length of throw of the stick, so set it at 30% & you only have 30% throw.
PSo for the f-18 atm I'm using 55% on the x axis & 35% on the forward y axis & 55 on the rearward throw
SWell, I found a way to graph the telemetry from DCS.
S1) install teleplot and its dependencies
https://github.com/nesnes/teleplot
2) add this line to your export.lua
local telePORTlfs=require('lfs');dofile(telePORTlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TelePORT.lua')
3) put the attached file below, TelePORT.lua, into your scripts folder
4)run teleplot
5) open a browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/
6) run DCS, get in a jet and look at your browser

SYou can get a graph of any of the variables in the green boxes in the left column simply by dragging that box up to the slot in the top left which is titles 'Drop here for new chart'. Then a new red chart (like the ones on the right side) shows up.
DOh damn!!!
Pomfg! that's sick!
PI'll probably never use it myself but it's still sick!
