NI think these are should's.. I think in the Huey, even cold and dark, if you flip that switch, it will enable FFB spring
LPossibly, I just flip the switches 
I don't understand how the thing actually works under the hood
I don't understand how the thing actually works under the hoodLAhh I still remember flipping that Huey force trim switch the first time after I had bought Rhino... that's when I realised I had spent my moneys wisely... for once 
LA real toggle switch and I didn't have my VR headset on, so I could see my stick jump to attention 
MI did air/hot starts for all of them
LJust in case, because you mentioned you may not understand force trim, what did you expect would happen when you press the trim button in Huey?
MAssumed that the stick would just hold position, a la not having springs, but having dampeners. I need to sit down with someone who understands helicopters lol
N(IRL) Different helicopters implement force trim in different ways (or some, not at all), and the procedure for using said force trim can be quite different between different helicopters, but, in general...
Helicopters with force trim , when it is enabled, have a magnetic brake that will hold the cyclic in a particular spot. This magnetic brake has a certain amount of spring built into the mechanism such that when it is engaged, you can deflect the cyclic stick to some degree whilst fighting against the springs, but the stick will return to center based on where the mag brake is centered.
To make adjustments to where the brake is holding the stick, you typically press and hold the force trim switch on the cyclic, which disengages the brake. Now you are free to move the stick wherever you want without any resistance. Upon releasing the switch, the brake will re-engage.
Again, each helo is different, but that is the basic principal. Some dont have force trim at all, some have it but rarely use it, and some have it and it is integrated into the autopilot system as well.
For example, my Dad who flew Huey's for 20 years says that force trim (that switch that Fourgrinder mentioned) was never, ever turned on unless flying IFR.

MInteresting, so how is the huey supposed to fly without the switch? Just normal spring feel?
NNo.. without the force trim engaged, the stick is just free floating.. no (or very little) resistance
NYou don't let go of the stick.. ever
MThat makes sense
MHI, this is an order issue. I have mistakenly clicked the "cancel preorder" link but then I went through the ordering process so I'm not really sure where we stand now?
WHi, All good, I have accepted your order 
H
HJust lost forces again
WWhich sim? (FS2020 TelemFFB/XPforce?)
Also settings look not very optimal. You can load a good baseline profile from
Otherwise everything looks ok (no motor faults, etc). You can also show the Debug tab content.

HIt's dcs
HI will try a baseline profile these days. Thank you!
HAnd no telemffb
H
Hloaded default profile , but now my brake lever on the joystick does not work anymore and i cannot set it up again...Unfortunately i have to stop testing now
WChange grip to the T-50CM2 and calibrate it
MThanks, having chosen bank transfer, I will be waiting for an invoice with an IBAN on, is that right?
HThanks I will try in the next days
Hhello, my rhino has just arrived and I have stumbled at the first hurdle. When trying to apply the stick setting on the web interface or checking the firmware I get the follow error. I have also restared the pc, removed the rhino from device manager multiple times, no joy unfortunately. Have disconnected and closed every other device/program as well
WThis bug happens in Win11 with the current firmware. Managed to make a one-liner workaround, but should be fixed in the upcoming firmware release.
Open up a PowerShell window as Administrator and paste the following
Then unplug and plug the Rhino USB
*Reboot might be required

HWill give it a go.. But I'm on windows 10!
WThe configurator application works right?
HYeah that loads and works fine
HThis worked, thank you!
H
HLost forces ahain, joystick with default profile p51 dcs
SHave you checked the wiring connection? Maybe there is a damaged cable?
HNo I have not, but if I quit dcs instantly the stick moves back due to spring effect. If I press fly to reload the mission. Ffb is back and works until it quit again.
H
HAnd again
H
F-100 points for not using snip
Mlol
Nwin+shift+s FTW
HI now tested without VR - same problem.
HThan tested without motion, same problem.
HThe last hour I was not using the dcs multithreading version. No problems at all. Joystick is working fine. So I will continue with the normal dcs version and hope that I will not have problems on longer flights too. Thank you @_slowmover for your help.
Ado you guys ever have issues where DCS seems to boot up with broken ffb support, like, maybe it kinda works, but not really, and you have to quit and re-launch DCS to fix it?
Dusually when my rhino isn't powered on causes that
Dturning it on when in DCS means it has trouble identifying itself..
Dthat last sentence could be taken out of context 
Aoh i always have my rhino on prior to launching DCS :/
