All I can say is....Thanks! and WOW.
Trim working like it should and the effects are... AMAZE BAWLS!!
Thanks for the help from this great little corner of the internet and @walmis....thanks for developing this solution.
I will add in some of these points to the docs I am working on.

Ayeah sorry i hadn't elaborated earlier -- was on a phone and didn't really feel like typing a ton out, but essentially the framework should be -- the Effects tabs are for your own customizations, they will apply, by default, as long as the game doesn't override them. If you use sticky, then the game won't be allowed to override those effects. In the settings tab, with the sliders -- you can think of those as overall scaling/limiters for how powerful the effects both from your effects tab, and the game can be. So my general thing -- start with everything at 100% in Settings tab (except friction -- that effect has a very strong tendency to cause uncontrolled oscillations -- personally I cap it around 7% under settings, but generally speaking, very few games in my experience even apply a friction effect).
Aone effect i am particiularly fond of under settings, is
Spring strength proportional damping, i like to run it anywhere from 60-80% because it takes a lot of the bounce out of any spring effects that are applied, and imo helps to make the whole thing mechanical. if you want to quickly test the effects of it, go into Effects, crank up spring to 100%, then with the default value for Spring strength proportional damping set (i think it's around 20%?) -- pull the stick to full deflection and let it naturally return to center, then crank that setting up to 100% and do the same, notice the difference?
S@amadeus Thanks and no worries, we are all multi tasking.
I understood the hirarchy of the effect tab and settings tab but somehow did not connect the fact that SPRING is the key to the whole thing working like it should, especially trim. With spring set to zero....the stick is far less alive for affects and trim does nothing

SI think my printer may be going constantly as the whole sim group is going to want one LOL
Aspring is basically what games use to force the stick back to center
Aand they may dynamically change that value over time to simulate air resistance and all that
Smakes sense now...sort of like "of course" once it sinks in
KAwesome that you got it going. Looking back, I think I gave misleading configs. I had spring turned off and sticky unchecked in the effects section, but the spring (and master, periodic, intertia, and damper) in the settings tab are set to 100%, so I was utilizing the game spring function too.
KIt is really freakin cool when you feel your stick move along with the trim and just like in a real plane, tune in for straight and level with no input. FFB is equal to VR in creating a sense of awe while flying.
SHave to agree!
SWithout tuning it feels close to the push back controls give you
MHi walis, here is an video of the behaviour and a photo of my settings
KIs that not a side effect of having the 8 way to 4 way hat button checked?
MI changed it and I have the effects still
WCan you activate generic grip (debug) profile and activate more buttons?
MStill the same double button input
WCan you also copy some lines from the Debug tab?
W
MYour guys are awsome. I used the wrong browser and I never saw the option to update the firmware. Now the buttons work as intendet. Thx to you all.
APeriodic effects appear to still be applied after I've ejected from the aircraft, I'm guessing that's not intended?
WTelemFFB?
A@walmis Which grub screw do you use with the motor pulleys? M4?
WM4x3
TWhen connecting the motors to MOT1 and MOT2 on the controller board, which one is Roll and which is Pitch?
Wdoesn't matter
RI've noticed a significantly reduced damper effect on my X-axis (roll). Pull-and-release on the Y-axis results in a well damped return to center, while the same on the X-axis results in a springy overshoot and return, which gradually settles out to center.
Adjusting the effect percentage on the axis doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference. Disabling the effect results in the expected very bouncy return to center.
Intial effect levels are the same for both axis and the gain maps are 1:1. Using current firmware and app versions.

WCan you show us your settings?
R@walmis

RNo looseness and the bounce is more pronounced with friction and inertia disabled.
R@walmis
WMy guess is that the the X axis has reduced calibrated range
WTry increasing spring bandwidth to 15Hz
Rno change
Rre calibration, I'm using the printed limiter set at 13 degrees y-axis, 10 degrees x-axis with axis calibrated after fitting.
Wwhat happens if you set both axis the same range - 1512 <> 2925
RMax reported deflection on the y-axis occurs at ~75% physical deflection, as expected. But, still bouncing on the x-axis.
WInteresting, how's the belt tension?
Raround 5mm displacement from the centreline on both axis. I don't recall what it was like when first received though.
RActually, quick comparison of the calibrated ranges vs setting both axis to 1512<>2925 and the y-axis now also has very reduced damping. Not quite as bouncy as the x-axis, but it's close.
R... if I pull the y-axis to its max physical deflection before releasing it.
Rscratch that, it's the same whether it's full physical or just to the reported max in relation to the reduction in damping.
AIs there a reason for the red color of the center value?
WYeah, your physical center is ambiguous on startup, you need to install the belts so that the motor center is in the middle (~2000)
