Don't know if that was a reference to my video? If not disregard. Seat/Rig does sit on three big actuators..

. Simulation wise, there are good reasons for adding the active seatback and harness.

Do real

have any kind of control loading systems for pedals and if they exist, what do they do?

AndyHill•8/14/23, 1:24 PM

with ffb pedals you could basically create an autorudder function since the slip ball data is pretty widely available in simulators and modules

AndyHill•8/14/23, 1:26 PM

I would of course only resort to such cheating in the cases where it's possible

Ahh ok - any plans on porting it over? I'd love to try it out

walmis•8/14/23, 1:48 PM

Yeah def will be added to DCS

Woot!

I just saw the updated firmware message - what is adaptive recentering for springs?

walmis•8/14/23, 1:54 PM

so many new capabilities to explore!!

recoilfx•8/14/23, 1:57 PM

Wow, awesome. I have the old "Don't fix it if it ain't broken" habit, but I need to try out this feature! Thanks Walmis!

AndyHill•8/14/23, 2:05 PM

what is ad... ah

AndyHill•8/14/23, 2:05 PM

well how does it actually work?

AndyHill•8/14/23, 2:07 PM

having again installed my mcgu grip I realized that a 600g stick is actually heavier than a 200g stick so adaptive recentering sounds interesting

AAndyHill well how does it actually work?

walmis•8/14/23, 2:08 PM

It tries to minimize the error where the stick is to where the stick should be, over time

Jamie D.•8/14/23, 2:09 PM

A message of hope to all who feel like the wait for their Rhino is interminable: My originally assigned serial number was 219. The serial number on my unit that just shipped to me is 165. I don't know if folks are backing out of their orders because they've opted to go the kit route or just weren't that serious, but either way, I'm getting my Rhino many months sooner than I ever expected.

AndyHill•8/14/23, 2:10 PM

sounds a slight tiny bit scary potentially, but I might have to give it a go

Reed•8/14/23, 2:16 PM

Will this be used in conjunction with the current options to recentering or do those need to be unchecked?

walmis•8/14/23, 2:19 PM

Here's a little comparison

Reed•8/14/23, 2:20 PM

Nice

AndyHill•8/14/23, 2:26 PM

have people who tried the new version checked back or have their computers exploded?

Reed•8/14/23, 3:29 PM

Exploding what happened to you? @walmis do we need to install over the top of the current software or uninstall the current software, and reinstall the new version?

walmis•8/14/23, 3:43 PM

You can extract it somewhere and run it as usual

~~Can't seem to run TelemFFB anymore after today's update. Anyone else with the issue?~~ EDIT: I'm a moron, I've hidden all HID devices using HidHide -- just didn't remember it runs on Windows start, so persists through reboots. After unhiding it - works like a charm.

amadeus•8/14/23, 7:57 PM

unclear since i haven't updated nor am i at home to check -- but i assume you're using like the latest WIP branch version?

amadeus•8/14/23, 7:57 PM

(also very possible there needs to be an update to telemffb to support new rhino firmware too

Polack-1•8/14/23, 8:01 PM

disregard, I'm an actual moron

Polack-1•8/14/23, 8:03 PM

I've used HidHide to specifically hide HID devices and forgot about it.

Polack-1•8/14/23, 8:04 PM

Unhidden the device and TelemFFB works as it should. Doh!

I tested stuff with the new centering thing and I can conclude that there isn't a lot of change if you don't have the feature enabled

@walmis Thanks, guessing the switches are standard wiring with the ground daisy chained

walmis•8/15/23, 10:02 AM

Yeah, you need to connect all switches to common ground an the other terminal to each of the data lines.

Number481•8/15/23, 12:22 PM

It actually makes a pretty big difference for me. I like a medium amount of dampen on the stick so without the new setting it is always just a tad off of center depending on which direction the stick was deflected.. with the new adaptive recentering it always 'finds home'..

Reed•8/15/23, 1:52 PM

I haven’t installed yet. How quick it is finding home and can that be adjusted?

LeLv30_Superbus•8/15/23, 2:33 PM

I like adaptive recentering better with Mi-8, pitch seems easier to keep. I have a 20 cm extension.

Reed•8/15/23, 2:52 PM

OK excellent going to get installed today sometime and test

Please note that the cable between mainboard and shift register is not too long. Had massive problems with a cable about 25cm long.

blave549•8/15/23, 5:23 PM

Some helicopters (e.g. Airbus H145) have full-time stability augmentation/autpilot systems that connect to all three controls (cyclic, collective, and pedals), so the pedals are on actuators that lets Otto move the pedals as needed to maintain direction. E.g. in more recent builds of the Hype H145 for MSFS, you can actually see the pedals "snap" slightly as you lift off to the position that eliminates any yaw. (Now that I think about that, I guess maybe there is a reason to have FFB on the pedals after all, at least for some aircraft. Earlier, I posted a "why bother?" note about going to the trouble...)
