@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.

Couldn't figure out a way to tune it out.

walmis•6/28/23, 2:31 PM

I'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.

Rob EBOP•6/28/23, 2:47 PM

Is 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?

Reed•6/28/23, 3:22 PM

Interesting. Are you using endstops at 50% or throw limiter?

Rob EBOP•6/28/23, 3:43 PM

throw limiter

Greetings 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.

Walmis 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.

Comrade_Weng•6/29/23, 12:43 PM

FWIW 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

Comrade_Weng•6/30/23, 6:40 AM

So... 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.

Hello, do someone know what are the screw for the Mouting plate

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/1/23, 10:05 AM

Standard M6 I thought - length determined by what you are mounting to

DeltaVJ•7/1/23, 10:06 AM

Thx, for the rhino

Jon (Bounty_V)•7/1/23, 10:08 AM

I'd assume still standard M6. Can ask walmis directly. He should've included with it or at least he does now

DeltaVJ•7/1/23, 1:11 PM

Well, thr plate was sent for another user who sold it to me... Without screw

DeltaVJ•7/1/23, 1:11 PM

I will try these

has anyone had problems with a Rhino not showing up in the USB devices connection window when trying to update firmware?

Reed•7/2/23, 12:22 AM

No but I have had it not be recognized by the vpforce software and have to unplug and plug in occasionally

kingjamez•7/2/23, 12:53 AM

No, but I have had that happen to other devices when I forgot I was running HIDhide.

Harq•7/2/23, 1:55 AM

no dice, unfortunately. Completely uninstalled HIDhide (which I didnt know I had) and still not showing up

Harq•7/2/23, 1:55 AM

wonder if it's a windows 11 thing...

kingjamez•7/2/23, 5:36 PM

I have updated from Windows 11 many times. What browser are you using?

Harq•7/2/23, 5:41 PM

USB power settings didn't help, unfortunately.

Harq•7/2/23, 5:41 PM

I'm using Chrome

kingjamez•7/2/23, 5:54 PM

It shows up in device manager just not chrome right?

Kkingjamez It shows up in device manager just not chrome right?

Harq•7/3/23, 2:45 PM

correct

kingjamez•7/3/23, 2:54 PM

I’ve got to ask the obvious so please don’t take this the wrong way: Have you tried Edge?

Harq•7/3/23, 3:43 PM

heh, I have not tried a browser switch, but I will

Harq•7/3/23, 3:54 PM

no luck with edge either, unfortunately

Justin•7/3/23, 4:10 PM

May I ask a support question for a Virpl hotas here, I know its not the discord for virpl but I really could use some help lol

slowmover•7/6/23, 5:56 PM

Questions guyz. I tested my motors 1 month ago and they worked perfect. Now they do not work. I do not have ny effect, Spring dumper etc. Any ideas?

slowmover•7/6/23, 5:56 PM

Number481•7/6/23, 5:59 PM

Your spring force is basically zero.

slowmover•7/6/23, 6:00 PM

I put it 90% and nothing

Number481•7/6/23, 6:00 PM

Look at effects tab.

Anthony•7/6/23, 6:01 PM

Pot#1 function disabled, shouldn’t that cause the issue?

AAnthony Pot#1 function disabled, shouldn’t that cause the issue?

Number481•7/6/23, 6:03 PM

No. Only if you had a pot assigned to an effect setting and it was turned all the way down.

slowmover•7/6/23, 6:03 PM

i never used the effect tab

Sslowmover i never used the effect tab

Number481•7/6/23, 6:04 PM

Screenshot it. If you set the spring gain up and apply and it doesn’t take, the spring setting in the effects tab could be the culprit.

slowmover•7/6/23, 6:04 PM

slowmover•7/6/23, 6:05 PM

Because oh the weight it does not stay in position at one axies. At other axis it stays

Number481•7/6/23, 6:06 PM

This is your problem. Spring is disabled.

slowmover•7/6/23, 6:10 PM

still the same problem

slowmover•7/6/23, 6:24 PM

okay i think it was a false alarm....Because previous time i tested it without any weight on it and now it has a lot of weight

walmis•7/6/23, 6:25 PM

Well due to the weight it behaves as expected as the whole motor is riding at the bottom.

walmis•7/6/23, 6:29 PM

I'll think about how to compensate this use case, since ideally it should stay put wherever you put the stick

slowmover•7/6/23, 6:32 PM

well i am triming the helicopter in dcs {T} and it does not want to trim it

@walmis Any more thoughts on the issue I have with reduced X-axis damping? Not sure if it's relate
