I thought it was modeled correctly because IRL you have more rear travel than forward because the standard procedure is “roll and pull”. Negative G is a no-no so you don’t need a lot of forward travel.

I haven’t played with mine yet, still building my kit but I’ve seen some others ask about the stick forward when trimmed and those were the reasons given.

skyPickle•3/25/23, 4:11 AM

In the F15C (another flaming cliffs module) the stick is in the center position for neutral flight-so it behaves as expected.

skyPickle•3/25/23, 4:12 AM

but in the A10C and the A10C_2, the stick position for neutral flight is half way forward.

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 4:18 AM

Yeah I think I've seen this conversation in here before, ergonomics & cockpit design also comes into play. So with the restrictor plates do we calibrate, install restrictors then just set software endstops to match? or just use the config app to manually set axis ends?

skyPickle•3/25/23, 4:30 AM

Other aircraft where the position for neutral flight is properly centered are the JF17, the SU25, SU27, and the Viggen.

skyPickle•3/25/23, 4:31 AM

I think the only way to solve this is to have a center point that is different for each aircraft.

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 4:31 AM

I noticed on the f18 yesterday that no matter how tight I make the endstop for the +Y axis (trying to match the jet) I still only get halfway through the axis by the time the in game stick has hit full deflection forward?

skyPickle•3/25/23, 4:32 AM

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 4:32 AM

yeah well I have been making a config profile for each aircraft so far, tell a lie I haven't done the A10a yet

SskyPickle @walmis is it possible to have an offset for the center point?

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 4:33 AM

wouldn't that be the Axis Scaling setting in effects tab?

skyPickle•3/25/23, 4:34 AM

@pinksht I guess you achieve that through the axis scaling option?

skyPickle•3/25/23, 4:39 AM

Ill have to play around with that to see how it can improve the A10. Gotta go now, it's late here.

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 4:40 AM

I haven't used it myself yet, I was just guessing that might be the setting to move the axis center? Cheers m8, cya later

Hextopia•3/25/23, 5:41 AM

It's definitely noticeable in the F-14 that the centerpoint with neutral trim is way far forward, but it matches the actual control indicator in-game (Right Ctrl + Enter)

Magpie•3/25/23, 5:57 AM

You need to change the calibrated axis end for the push part of the y axis. I cant imagine how far forward your stick goes in the 29 at high mach

Hextopia•3/25/23, 6:01 AM

To be honest, I never tried modifying the calibration beyond making sure it was actually centered, since the stick always seems to match the control throw of the in-game aircraft

Magpie•3/25/23, 6:24 AM

Try it. I know I won’t go back. My calibration only goes like 15 degrees past vertical. However I have a large extension

Magpie•3/25/23, 6:24 AM

I only got to doing that by correlating vr stick position with the rhino one

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 6:55 AM

Sorry just to clarify are we talking about changing the Axis Scaling setting in Effects tab?

Magpie•3/25/23, 6:57 AM

No just when you calibrate the whole thing

Hextopia•3/25/23, 6:59 AM

I'm confused about why/to what extent I'd recalibrate the center to change it

Hextopia•3/25/23, 7:00 AM

Since I actually prefer having a much shorter forward throw

Hextopia•3/25/23, 7:01 AM

Having the neutral position shift itself forward is honestly quite nice

Magpie•3/25/23, 7:01 AM

You recalibrate the end of the Y axis. Try a few values till you get one that feels right

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 7:14 AM

Sorry m8, do you mean change the max setting in there

Magpie•3/25/23, 7:14 AM

Yeah

Hextopia•3/25/23, 7:15 AM

I'm still skeptical here. You're either saying to desaturate one side of the pitch axis, which would just reduce the total usable throw range, or move the center calibration point, neither of which seem like something I'd want

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 7:15 AM

ahh ok, so that will change the physical axis limit & then the software will soft it out so you still hit 4096 when you reach the physical limit?

Its personal preference for sure, but it's the fix to the issue you describe

Magpie•3/25/23, 7:18 AM

Yeah, that's why walmis is now making physical end stops

Magpie•3/25/23, 7:19 AM

So you set it to like 2500 or 3000 or something that feels good for your ergonomics

Magpie•3/25/23, 7:19 AM

Like we all have different stick lengths and Sim pit seating arrangements

Magpie•3/25/23, 7:20 AM

So just try to correspond what you see in VR with a usable axis

Magpie•3/25/23, 7:21 AM

And you won't notice the difference for the aircraft that currently feel good

And the shonky ones like the A10 and the Ka-50 and the F5 and the tomcat feel right

MMagpie Its personal preference for sure, but it's the fix to the issue you describe

Hextopia•3/25/23, 1:45 PM

I don't actually think it's an issue

Magpie•3/25/23, 1:46 PM

Ah sweet as, keep it the way it is then!

Hextopia•3/25/23, 1:46 PM

Yeah, I'd actually prefer all my center stick aircraft be that way, since it more closely mimics how real aircraft are setup

Hextopia•3/25/23, 1:47 PM

Giving you all that extra room on the pull gives you a lot better control and feel for how hard you're pulling

Magpie•3/25/23, 1:49 PM

Makes sense, do you have an extension?

Hextopia•3/25/23, 1:49 PM

I do

PiNKSH!T•3/25/23, 1:59 PM

I think most people are restricting the push of the Y axis as a lot of aircraft have less forward throw than rearward.

HHextopia Yeah, I'd actually prefer all my center stick aircraft be that way, since it mor...

skyPickle•3/25/23, 5:09 PM

how do you know about the real aircraft? The neutral position only happens in flight and that's where you would see your stick pitched forward.

skyPickle•3/25/23, 5:15 PM

@walmis I realized that the axis scaling is supposed to adjust this but it would be far easier if I could just drag the center point in game. The necessary change in vpconfigurator would be a button to adjust center. Like the auto calibrate button but simpler. Click the button, drag the blue circle, click the button again. This could even be automated. Although that might sound complex, DCS actually can export values in game, specifically the name of the aircraft. Simshaker and DCS exports do this through the export.lua. So the Rhino firmware could poll the export lua every 5 minutes, read the data (which aircraft) and set the center point according to an aircraft specific adjustment (like simshaker does). This aircraft specific adjustment can be stored in the firmware and modifiable by the user.

anybody else get this with the new software?
