What would dampen the periodic effects? Since I re mounted the stick today I have got it set up nicely in terms of feel and position, however, my effects are very muted.....( have not altered my .ini file) I have turned them up to 100% but still very muted.....here are the settings I am using now:

Try disabling friction, otherwise settings look good

Firaga•8/31/23, 3:51 PM

100% for periodic effects sounds very high, especially if you consider them being muted

blave549•8/31/23, 5:23 PM

This doesn't answer your question but I tried that mod a couple days ago. The flight model is terrible and I'm giving it a miss until they improve it significantly (if they do that).

Disabling friction seemed to have no effect Walmis.....?

Hey there, I have attached a generic grip (based on debolestis PCB and 5-pin mini din) to the Rhino, but none of the buttons light up. The grip works perfectly on a Virpil base

Reign•9/1/23, 8:53 PM

Also, the potentiometer stopped beeping after I reset the config and loaded back up - is there a way to bring the beeps back?

One thing I noticed in the Mig 15 - when I launch the game and have telemffb running - the stick will droop forward when the aircraft is off and on the ground

Khangirey•9/2/23, 4:18 AM

however, if I go into the controls settings - that effect is lost

Khangirey•9/2/23, 4:18 AM

and I have to restart the game for it to register again

Number481•9/2/23, 4:23 AM

That effect (elevator droop) shouldn’t be playing at all unless the aircraft is tagged as a prop aircraft in the config. Can you confirm that effect is active in the TelemFFB effects monitor page?

NNumber481 That effect (elevator droop) shouldn’t be playing at all unless the aircraft is ...

Khangirey•9/2/23, 5:25 AM

weird. I restarted DCS and telem and it is no longer doing it

Khangirey•9/2/23, 5:26 AM

maybe it was a bug after all.
BTW - do you know if modern aircraft are supposed to autocenter the stick even when on the ground? I don't remember telemffb doing that before

Khangirey•9/2/23, 6:10 AM

Update: NVM I'm flying the mig 15 on enigma's now. When I spawned in the first time, it was good. I got killed and reslotted to respawn

Khangirey•9/2/23, 6:10 AM

and the stick immediately flung itself forward

Khangirey•9/2/23, 6:35 AM

rip and again - just slammed forward before relaxing. This time as I was typing

Khangirey•9/2/23, 6:35 AM

and the aircraft was just doing the autostart procedure

KKhangirey @walmis Just happened again

walmis•9/2/23, 6:54 AM

Thanks, I think I know what could be the culprit here

Wwalmis Thanks, I think I know what could be the culprit here

Khangirey•9/2/23, 7:17 AM

Thanks. Look forward to figuring out what it is myself

Khangirey•9/2/23, 7:17 AM

As another point, is there a way to reduce braking force FFB? When I hit the brakes, my stick shoots forward too

Khangirey•9/2/23, 7:17 AM

but interestingly enough, if I'm using differential braking (soviet style) - even though it might slow me down as much, if I have a pedal pressed the effect goes away entirely

KKhangirey Thanks. Look forward to figuring out what it is myself

walmis•9/2/23, 7:21 AM

For the first issue you could try setting

runway_rumble_intensity

runway_rumble_intensity

to 0
The braking effect is

deceleration_effect_enable

deceleration_effect_enable

and

deceleration_max_force

deceleration_max_force

it based on longitudinal G force telemetry

Wwalmis For the first issue you could try setting `runway_rumble_intensity` to 0 The bra...

Khangirey•9/2/23, 7:23 AM

gotcha. to the second point, that would also explain why if I pulled my stick back hard and let the Gs come on then released my stick it would shoot forward (well past the center point). Correct?

walmis•9/2/23, 7:23 AM

That's the G force effect

Wwalmis That's the G force effect

Khangirey•9/2/23, 7:27 AM

Thanks. I'm still getting used to it. It makes me PIO around a target especially if I'm ground pounding

walmis•9/2/23, 7:28 AM

Yeah, you can customize the intensity or turn it off

Wwalmis Yeah, you can customize the intensity or turn it off

Khangirey•9/2/23, 7:34 AM

I'll play around with it. Thank you
Last question - It is normal to have my stick have a very light autocentering when having no loading on my elevator, right? When I stall out in a jet or I am on the ground, the stick will gently return back to the center position.
Idk is this is a telemffb thing or a native DCS thing. Sounds normal, right?

Number481•9/2/23, 11:27 AM

Quickest way to be certain would be to test without TelemFFB, however, TelemFFB does not touch spring forces or centering in any way (except for trim on the harrier).

Wwalmis Thanks, I think I know what could be the culprit here

Number481•9/2/23, 12:49 PM

I suspect the telemetry is going crazy during certain conditions like crashing and system startup. Need to add additional safeguards to ensure the effects can only start under the right conditions.

mark turnerOP•9/2/23, 3:19 PM

I am asking here as there are lots of people and especially Walmis of course who understand FFB and how it works and so might know. There is an issue with the F14, when trying to use the ACLS, whereby when you get to the bit where you hand off control at around 2 miles, the jet will drive down into the sea. Apparently is a Heatblur issue, but it only does it when using an FFB joystick.....any way it could be investigated to understand the cause?

Number481•9/2/23, 3:34 PM

does the stick physically move causing the aircraft to nose over?

mark turnerOP•9/2/23, 9:09 PM

It did on my Brunner, will check on the Rhino tomorrow

Jehly•9/2/23, 10:35 PM

Is there a limit of like 15A or something? I hit aroudn that number and it resets on me

blave549•9/2/23, 11:22 PM

I was flying the Cabri in MSFS today with hardware force trim turned on in the Configurator, and have hat/button assignments for the various trimming functions, but it doesn't seem to be working. This is what I have set up. Master gain is at 74%, and I typically keep the spring force knob (default assignment) at around 30-50%.. It worked before --- am I missing something? This is with a build that is probably two days old (I haven't installed the very latest one yet).

Number481•9/2/23, 11:31 PM

TelemFFB doesn’t do anything specific wtr helicopter flight controls (as long as the aircraft is typed properly in the config).

Do you have sticky enabled in configurator spring settings?

Jehly•9/2/23, 11:53 PM

Is there a way to adjust this?

harry•9/3/23, 3:22 PM

Hi walmis, my joystick stopped forces e few times in the last days. Rudder motor was ok. And the position of the stick was working so I could controll the aircraft. Restarting the flight all was OK again. Do you have an idea or tip where I could search the error?

walmis•9/3/23, 3:30 PM

Hi, did you get a long beep when forces cut out? Which sim? did you use telemFFB ?

JJehly Is there a way to adjust this?

walmis•9/3/23, 3:34 PM

Could you give more info? Perhaps a screen recording of the VP conf app when that happens

harry•9/3/23, 3:47 PM

I can try this next week. Is there a log which I could look at?

harry•9/3/23, 3:55 PM

Sim was dcs, I did not hear a beep and I tried with and without telemffb. I happened with and without

Jehly•9/3/23, 4:00 PM

I don't know exactly how to do that, if I'm honest. But I see the power goes to roughly 15A and then it beeps and the motors disengage.

Jehly•9/3/23, 4:01 PM

I've tried tweaking the settings on the right, thinking it's some kind of threshhold, but no joy.

walmis•9/3/23, 4:02 PM

blave549•9/3/23, 4:06 PM

When I said that it worked for me before -- I've been mostly in DCS for the last three or so weeks until a couple days ago and so this build is much newer than what I used in the beginning, when it worked.

I don't have Sticky turned on for anything.

Wwalmis What's the status down here? After the motors disengage

Jehly•9/3/23, 4:08 PM

At the moment, I'm talking specifically on my pedals. It says:

FAULT_UNEXPECTED_Q_CURRENT

FAULT_UNEXPECTED_Q_CURRENT

What would dampen the periodic effects? Since I re mounted the stick today I have got it set up nice
