If mounting the base to a motion rig, what would be the effective weight of the unit (i.e., the base itself in the absence of a power supply or anything that could effectively be on the floor and connected by wiring alone)?

Base without grip weighs in at 4.7kg

Wwalmis Do you need the inner piece or the whole assembly?

Cuda•7/28/23, 2:10 PM

Actually yea just the inner piece with microcontroller would be fine

Settings question: if the game is taking over the centering force instead of it being the spring force in the settings, is that considered a periodic effect?

Number481•7/28/23, 2:34 PM

no, that is controlled by the Spring slider

Number481•7/28/23, 2:35 PM

the spring setting defines the max.. the game could make it lower or non existent

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:36 PM

so what is going on there, is the game invoking a spring force function in the firmware?

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:36 PM

Because my centering force in the apache is way stronger than in the F18

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:36 PM

"centering" in the case of force trim

Number481•7/28/23, 2:37 PM

its part of the FFB sdk library. Each module in DCS implements their own FFB, so its not going to be universal across modules.

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:38 PM

if I make the spring force sticky will that mean it's what it's set to instead of what the maximum is?

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:39 PM

The purpose of these questions is I'm trying to tighten up the centering force on the 18 and Harrier

Number481•7/28/23, 2:39 PM

Yes. But it also wont disengage the spring if you disable force trim in a helicopter

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:40 PM

Yes, but I have a seperate profile for helos so that's fine

Number481•7/28/23, 2:41 PM

If you use TelemFFB (wip version), there is a file you can use to define Rhino profiles per module

Number481•7/28/23, 2:41 PM

Its a new thing walmis implemented (I haven't actually tested it yet)

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:42 PM

That's tempting, I've avoided it so far because I'm wary of adding even more exports

Number481•7/28/23, 2:42 PM

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:42 PM

I'm already exporting for WW and Simshaker

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:42 PM

and streamdeck

Jarmak•7/28/23, 2:43 PM

maybe I'll try it today

Number481•7/28/23, 2:44 PM

check out https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1091401951951982602 I added some documentation for TelemFFB yesterday (basic setup info and links to the releases)

Number481•7/28/23, 2:47 PM

the export is pretty light weight in the grand scheme of things.. prob on par with Simshaker

holy hell there's physical throw limit adapters now?

yeah.. they work great

where do the config files have to live for it to load them?

JJarmak where do the config files have to live for it to load them?

Number481•7/28/23, 7:10 PM

I believe you need to put them in the root folder of TelemFFB

walmis•7/28/23, 7:17 PM

FIY, The config loading stuff will work properly in the next firmware/sw release

Wwalmis FIY, The config loading stuff will work properly in the next firmware/sw release

Number481•7/28/23, 7:18 PM

that would explain why everything went sideways when I just tried to test it

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:19 PM

What's the max motor current for the rhino motors?

walmis•7/28/23, 7:19 PM

30A

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:21 PM

Why would allowing damper gain above 0% induce vibration/oscilation? do I have a Lpf setting off somewhere?

Number481•7/28/23, 7:25 PM

I keep my damper at around %20.. no issues. THe only one that induces oscillation for me is friction

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:27 PM

maybe I need to turn friction off

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:28 PM

nope

walmis•7/28/23, 7:29 PM

Need to see your settings to make any guesses

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:30 PM

It's just very intense, it stops oscillating at 2% gain

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:30 PM

walmis•7/28/23, 7:32 PM

Try spring filter @ 15Hz, and set spring strength proportional damping to something like 70%

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:32 PM

tangentially: is there any other way to increase my spring force? after feeling the damper make it solid as a rock I know the motor can cause more resistance, but I have my spring force at max and it is not very strong

walmis•7/28/23, 7:32 PM

You can use spring mapping to increase gain

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:33 PM

also what is the difference between spring strength proportional damping and regular damping?

walmis•7/28/23, 7:33 PM

But that + endstops can cause more stability issues

walmis•7/28/23, 7:34 PM

When spring gain increases, damping also needs to increase to keep it from shaking to death. That (spring strength proportional damping) parameter does that automatically.

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:35 PM

is the other setting a constant regardless of spring gain?

walmis•7/28/23, 7:36 PM

Damping parameter is not dependent on spring gain

walmis•7/28/23, 7:38 PM

Also there is a RHINO-defaults.vpconf file in the configurator directory, that has the updated "factory" settings for the Rhino.

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:40 PM

is there a reason to turn max psu current to 7 down from 9? the PSU rated at 9.5

walmis•7/28/23, 7:41 PM

Just a default safety margin, you can increase it

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:43 PM

wow the new defaults are way better than what I had

Jarmak•7/28/23, 7:45 PM
