my 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

SAnd it looks like this

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!
WYou can also graph the data from VPforce-TelemFFB tool too - for example
python main.py --teleplot=teleplotserver:port -p varA -p varB -p varC you can get a name for varX from the telemetry debug window.DBut, graphs 
DAlso, kinda cool if you can see “all” telem options available
PHey guys does anyone know if the dcs telem app will work with mods too without needing to do any editing?
WIt should
Poooooh, I might even need to test out the loop back app to bind a force trim button?? or will the Telem App know it's a heli I'm in & do force trim automagically?
WNo, it's not that smart yet 
Pthat's cool I'll get to test out the loopback app then
WBut DCS should handle force trim, no? HW trim should be only for MSFS ant the likes.
POh I'm talkingt about the blackhawk mod though? not sure if it's got ffb & force trim in it?
Wah, no idea though
Pwhile I have your attention & we're talking about this, I think I asked before but it was bought up again recently; would you be able to make a ffb telemetry app for msfs2020 at any point? more asking if it's feasible.
Pok I'll def try test this & post results
WYeah, there are Python bindings for SimConnect, so no problem there, but you know, work needs to be done 
Pok awesome I thought you said it was doable before. Totally understand that you've got bigger fish to fry before getting to a msfs telem app, but also at the rate you manage to get these sort of things out & the rate of solid updates I'm happy to wait for it 
L
WNot sure, try resetting maybe windows calibration?
