no forces are present on the stick. i have turned spring gain to zero to eliminate that variable

AThen yeah, not sure what is going on. In that post that Number481 posted above, the default force compensation values were not nearly good enough to account for the belt flex at high resistance for me and required tuning, but if you have all forces turned down and not fighting any physical force at max physical deflection then it must be something else
SFIGURED IT OUT!. In the special options, I unchecked the force feedback toggle
Sbut there is still force feedback!
SAnd the chopper is easier to control. Go figure.
SI think we should have a pot to contribute and when it reaches a specific amount, Walmis sends the dev a Rhino so they can iron out their force feedback code
NWell, it was worth a shot..glad you figured it out!
CUsing ffb in il2, everything appears to be working great apart from when I use elevator trim. The neutral position of the stick moves as I trim however I get a bit of a jump at some points. I can't quite work out why. Any suggestions please?
KCheck your grub screw on the motor shaft.
CI have already checked this and it's ok. The best I can describe it is if I wind in full up trim from full down trim. There is a jump, almost as if the stick is catching up to a bit of lag.
Jcould it be power related?
CI doubt it. Am running at 24vdc with a 10amp supply. No issues pulling full continuous amperage during testing.
WAny specific aircraft in IL2 causing this?
CGood question... I'll do some testing. So far only noticed in the P51.
CCan confirm that it's not all aircraft. I shall do some more testing to write up a bit more of a comprehensive list.
PIt's been discussed having a unit made for being sent out to devs for them to use to make their ffb work right.
AYeah, don’t think it’s beyond the financial means of any reliable dev to cough up that kind of money themselves
SThis was polychop's reply to my query about that checkbox:
SThis checkbox simply changes trim behaviour for FFB sticks, so that the trim position is not accounted for as it would be with a standard centering stick.
SThe do not use the DCS FFB checkbox in the general options.
R@walmis Any more thoughts on the issue I have with reduced X-axis damping?
Not sure if it's related in any way but I adjusted the spring gain map to increase the force gradient closer to the center of the axis (to emulate the double gradient of the F15 stick), and it resulted in a low-ish frequency induced oscillation if the axis were released from deflection. The oscillation occurred on both axis.

RCouldn't figure out a way to tune it out.
Sfilter frequency?
WI've reproduced this, so yeah this is the nature/limitation of system dynamics. You would need to reduce the spring gain to stabilize it. Since reducing the throw range essentially increases the spring gain.
Increasing damper filter frequency would improve this, but this will eventually cause high frequency stability issues.

RIs the relationship linear? IE, with my x-axis throw range reduced to 11 degrees (50%), would the spring gain need to be reduced to 50% also?
RInteresting. Are you using endstops at 50% or throw limiter?
Rthrow limiter
ROk
PGreetings all. First off I'd like to say this base has been amazing and has served me well over the last 1-2 years. I'm the proud owner of S/N 0001.
Well today after a few weeks of no use I noticed the x axis is sorta of sticking. It was very noticeable in the MI 24 in DCS, but also noticeable not in game. Has this been experienced to any degree? I'm happy to crack it open and perhaps lube/clean some bearings or something if that would help, but I figured it would be smarter to post here first.

KWalmis will know better, but i had something similar happen on my DIY kit. It ended up that my thrustmaster grip was not screwed all the way into the top threads and it was rocking back and forth as I moved it. It wasn't obvious because it was so slight.
CFWIW I am unable to replicate the trim issue I had in il2 with a range of aircraft, including the original P51. I shall keep an eye on it
CSo... after testing various aircraft. I have accidentally reproduced the problem. So far I can reproduce it in the P51D, but only with flaps on a landing approach. Also in the C47 during normal flight. The issues is that I add elevator trim and nothing happens. The manual force to keep the aircraft trimmed increases without the stick centre moving. Then theres a sudden increase in stick centre point to the trimmed position. I suspect that this is an IL2 feature, i mean bug.
DHello, do someone know what are the screw for the Mouting plate
JStandard M6 I thought - length determined by what you are mounting to
DThx, for the rhino
JI'd assume still standard M6. Can ask walmis directly. He should've included with it or at least he does now
DWell, thr plate was sent for another user who sold it to me... Without screw
DI will try these
Hhas anyone had problems with a Rhino not showing up in the USB devices connection window when trying to update firmware?
RNo but I have had it not be recognized by the vpforce software and have to unplug and plug in occasionally
KNo, but I have had that happen to other devices when I forgot I was running HIDhide.
Hno dice, unfortunately. Completely uninstalled HIDhide (which I didnt know I had) and still not showing up
Hwonder if it's a windows 11 thing...
RIs the power management setting in windows allowing usb to go to sleep?
KI have updated from Windows 11 many times. What browser are you using?
HUSB power settings didn't help, unfortunately.
HI'm using Chrome
KIt shows up in device manager just not chrome right?
Hcorrect
KI’ve got to ask the obvious so please don’t take this the wrong way: Have you tried Edge?
