I'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.
It'd be useful to see it in action. Also can you check the mechanical side - try holding the large gear and wiggle the stick to see if there is any looseness. Also you can try to disable friction and inertia to see if it changes anything.
Actually, 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.
@walmis any chance you can drop the stl file for the USB jack mount somewhere? My USB jack came lose again and in the process of trying to fix it, I managed to break the mount :D... I could re-create it, but figured I'd ask.
I have an interesting problem with the SA342. I calibrated the Rhino and assigned the pitch and roll axes. The controls indicator at maximum stick excursion looks like this:
As you can see, the only direction which registers a full deflection is down (moving the cyclic forward) . All the others are only about halfway. I have no curves or saturation modifications in DCS. This is a newly calibrated Rhino and the settings were cleaered before assigning the axes. For comparison, I hooked up my old virpil stick and it registers full excursions in all directions.
Yes, I unchecked hi res and the same behavior persists. Anyway, the excursion limitation in DCS is asymmetric. In the VP config app, the excusion is full and goes to the edge of the box in the direction the cyclic is moved
Those numbers look good from a VPForce configurator perspective. If windows is reporting full deflection, it's got to be a DCS issue. Does it do this on other DCS modules?
The huey shows full excursion. However, they seem to have builtin some inertia in the huey controls. Moving the stick shows lag in movement of the controls indicator
