I only have spring and damper enabled as per Walmis's set up.
I wonder if it is the damper preventing the stick from falling forward

Да что же это такое этот FFB?

Друзья, всем привет!
В этом ролике рассказываю вам о прототипе джойстика с обратной связью от Романа (Propeller). А также о том, что может нам дать фидбек в симуляторах и как с этим обстоит дело сейчас!
Отдельное спасибо Роману за возможность быть первым "испытателем" его устройства!

RustBelt•2/23/23, 9:07 PM

I mean, that just looks like stick weight pulling it forward.

RustBelt•2/23/23, 9:08 PM

When I put my warthog F-16 on my Sidewinder rig it does that.

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 9:09 PM

check at 7:35, it will fall forward even if he pulls it back first

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 9:09 PM

making me think that it isn't just the weight

AndyHill•2/23/23, 9:11 PM

the ww1 planes model elevator droop

RustBelt•2/23/23, 9:11 PM

He’s only ever letting it go at idle power from center. It also does a full flop to upper left when he cuts power.

AndyHill•2/23/23, 9:11 PM

but they tend to center ailerons without airflow

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 9:14 PM

I just rented the P47 in dcs

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 9:14 PM

I'm gonna test it

RustBelt•2/23/23, 9:15 PM

I must admit, for IL2 I’m a P-38 lifer so I’m still on my Saitek yoke when ever I play that.

RustBelt•2/23/23, 9:16 PM

And I’m Tomcat all day on DCS. And that definitely slams the stick to the plane’s trimmed spring center when you load in.

gitbse•2/23/23, 9:17 PM

The 14 effects are fantastic. The only thing missing is g loading

gitbse•2/23/23, 9:18 PM

The loading and unloading at speed when you trim is the best of any fast mover, IMO

RustBelt•2/23/23, 9:24 PM

Yea no bobweight and no eddy current damper

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 9:24 PM

just going through my settings again, do I need this enabled if I have this at 100

sydost•2/23/23, 9:52 PM

DCS doesn’t model that which is a bit of an immersion killer. My understanding is that DCS uses only spring effect including offset center (trim) and periodic effects (shaking). It is on ED to first add the other effects to DCS core and then module makers can implement wider range of effects for us.

Ggitbse The 14 effects are fantastic. The only thing missing is g loading

amadeus•2/23/23, 10:01 PM

i tried out the F-14 the other day, one thing I noticed is that it had my stick WAAAY forward constantly, is there something I was missing from a configuration perspective?

gitbse•2/23/23, 10:06 PM

No, that's representative of the real thing

gitbse•2/23/23, 10:08 PM

I'm sure there would be a way to adjust it, but that's how it's supposed to be. Most jets have limited forward travel, because the meat servos in the pilot seat can't handle nearly as much negative g as we can positive

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:15 PM

Interesting, as @andyhill said, WW1 planes model the droop

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:15 PM

I wonder if we pestered the devs, they could apply that feature to the older planes in the game

sydost•2/23/23, 10:16 PM

There is no WW1 planes in DCS so he probably meant in IL-2 WW1 planes model the droop.

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:17 PM

yes, that's what I meant, sorry

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:18 PM

for now, I'm trying to fix the BF-109 trimming issue. Seems applying a -20 pitch offset does the trick, but I'm not sure if it will mess up the FFB

RustBelt•2/23/23, 10:20 PM

Asking the DCS devs to do something is a field that bares no crop. They work to their own twisted calendar of graphics updates and Eldritch bug generating core revisions.

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:20 PM

I meant the IL-2 Devs, although I think you're right about both

RustBelt•2/23/23, 10:21 PM

Yea IL-2 is better at suggestions. Unless it’s to do with the Pacific theater. Then it’s a diamond wall.

RustBelt•2/23/23, 10:22 PM

They have their rut and by gum they plan to live in it!

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:22 PM

also another odd quirk I found. with the WW1 planes in IL2, the droop is modeled, so long as you don't alt-tab. Once you alt tab, all the other FFB effects work, but that one breaks

RustBelt•2/23/23, 10:23 PM

Probably some initialization state that doesn’t reinstate when you go back into the game. Do they droop AFTER a flight?

RRustBelt Probably some initialization state that doesn’t reinstate when you go back into ...

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:24 PM

Landing a plane? Who has time for that?
Just kidding, I'll try it out once I get some more time

RustBelt•2/23/23, 10:27 PM

It does show it’s doable somewhere in DirectX FFB.

RustBelt•2/23/23, 10:27 PM

Never found good documentation on that very old part of DirectX

KhangireyOP•2/23/23, 10:29 PM

I think it's probably worth-while to start a repository of FFB quirks and whatnot, so that if someone else experiences this issue, they don't have to pull out their hair wondering if it is them, the stick or the software

Ggitbse No, that's representative of the real thing

roller25.•2/24/23, 12:26 AM

I've brought this up a few times. The real F14 has its grip angled backward from the main stick shaft to compensate.

So for us to correct this, we also need an adapter to offset the grip angled rearward.

skyPickle•2/24/23, 12:28 AM

it would be nice to have a section where settings can be uploaded.maybe a github? or is that too random

SwiftVengeance•2/24/23, 8:02 AM

my msffb 2 stick does the same effects and the rhino can also do it. the stick will droop forward when the prop isn't pushing too much air through the elevator but once you push the throttle forward the stick will go to center. Also the weird thing you might be noticing with the stick not centering where its supposed to is just a bug, you can trim back to center to fix it.

TheAmazinGreat•2/24/23, 12:37 PM

I don’t have anything set up yet so I can’t check for myself, but Is it possible for one of the two auxiliary potentiometer spots on the board be configured to an axis in the software?

walmis•2/24/23, 1:11 PM

Yeah it's possible

TheAmazinGreat•2/24/23, 1:22 PM

Awesome! I’m working on a DIY grip and figured I could add a pot if that was the case using a 6 pin DIN cable. 5 pins used for the shift register and the 6th pin used for pot signal.

walmis•2/24/23, 1:32 PM

If your DIY grip has an arduino inside, you can transfer analog axis via the shift-register data also

TheAmazinGreat•2/24/23, 2:02 PM

That would be awesome. Where can I find info on transferring analog data this way?

TheAmazinGreat•2/24/23, 2:05 PM

I’ve looked but not sure I am searching the right things.
