But it's essentially the "regular" settings, with spring and inertia activated + spring gains adjusted as in the screenshot you posted above

Plans on adding TelemFFB for MSFS/X-Plane as well? Great to see it available for DCS!

JIGGAwest•9/23/23, 3:20 PM

I believe it's already working for MSFS. You may have to activate a few settings in the config file

JIGGAwest•9/23/23, 3:22 PM

I haven't tested it personally, but it's on the plan for today.

Number481•9/23/23, 7:57 PM

TelemFFB supports DCS, MSFS and IL-2.
DCS/IL2 have native FFB support so TelemFFB is only adding effects.
For MSFS, TelemFFB is also handling dynamic stick forces since the sim doesn’t implement FFB at all.

I thought brushless = no cogging (can't). Is this not the case?

Ff15sim I thought brushless = no cogging (can't). Is this not the case?

mechsicko•9/23/23, 8:15 PM

No. All slotted bldc have some cogging when unpowered due to permanent magnets. Slotless do not however both are subject to torque ripple that needs to be smoothed in the drive. Rhino bldc also have high res encoder to close the loop for torque/speed/position control. That is called a servo.

Sure, will do after the weekend but it’s all about fine tuning. I just had another flight with a friend sitting in the homepit and me doing all the changes - U probably have to adopt to the planes u fly in detail. For example: I just reduced the G-forces and disabled the AoA bouncer for the Tomcat as it gave me too much negative force on the stick and made it hard to control it in the AoA area u fly this bird. I am still new to the rhino, so maybe there is a better way for the setup - it’s try and error for your system. I am using a virpil Z extension and the VFX grip together with a Bergisson G-Seat and a homepit for the F14.

Kreytfire•9/24/23, 12:31 AM

Anyway, I can’t say it’s too light as I reduced the forces already quite a bit. Maybe work on your basic setup for the spring (80%) and the damper (25%). Inertia is set to 5% (but I think that inertia interacts with the damper, so I will set this to 0 I think.

Spatz•9/24/23, 12:06 PM

Can I ask you a bit about the G-Seat please - Was ist difficult to buid the G-seat ? How much do you spend? And how long took it for you to build it?

Spatz•9/24/23, 12:07 PM

And how is the general feeling is it worth the work?

Kreytfire•9/24/23, 5:09 PM

Build costs depend on the availability and the prices of the components. When I started the construction 10 months ago, some items were hard to get - what I‘ve seen, that is not an issue right now. Building it is not rocket-science but you need some skills (or learn it during the process) and some tools. It took me some months to finish it but I did not work on it all the time and I also had to wait for some crucial parts like motor controllers and the motors itself.
Yes, it’s worth it but I don’t turn it on all the time as my back (slipped spine) is not the best anymore and after, let’s say an hour, I need to get out. Some fine tuning is still ongoing - but again, I am not working on it very often right now as I have other „construction sites“ as well like the homepit, the rhino, the crystal and of course my house

Spatz•9/24/23, 6:15 PM

Hehe

understand - thanks for the answer ... I guess I will focus on the rhino and a motion platform for now and build the seat as a hobby project on the side because I don't have much time on my side as well

So day three of having this thing. Wondering if folks could point me in the right direction to find this setting:

how to make it harder to pitch when you’re going really fast and the control surfaces are compressed. Thinking having to pull hard to get out of a dive. (Edit: is only fly DCS - warbirds, mirage f-1 mostly)

DrQuinn•9/25/23, 5:40 PM

Mack•9/25/23, 6:05 PM

I don’t see it in any DCS module.

DrQuinn•9/25/23, 6:10 PM

Look at the VPForce manual section 3.4.5.1

Mack•9/25/23, 6:17 PM

Ok. That’s close - not sure exactly the same as control surface compression. Like a p-51 in a dive is 1-G still but pulling out requires more force beaxuse of the air on the elevator. If I’m not mistaken.

Mack•9/25/23, 6:27 PM

This would be in addition to the g-loading once a turn is happening.

anyone disagree?

Number481•9/25/23, 6:33 PM

you're right that it is not exactly the same thing in that the math is derived from different data, but it is intended to approximate the same phenomenon. The faster you are going, the higher the g-loading will be with a given control input.

Mack•9/25/23, 6:34 PM

Thanks Champ!!

Number481•9/25/23, 6:39 PM

iirc, some aircraft (like the P-51) do implement some control tightening when coming out of a dive for example, but it is not configurable and doesn't achieve the forces that can be gained from the TelemFFB effect (which isn't perfect either, BTW)

Mack•9/25/23, 6:51 PM

Stupid question: but I don’t understand how to edit the TelemFFB values. Do I need to install python and edit a file that way?

Number481•9/25/23, 6:54 PM

assuming you've downloaded the latest build from here: https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/TelemFFB/?C=M;O=A

I would suggest creating a copy of config.ini and name it config.user.iniconfig.user.ini. You can then use any text editor to edit your user config. Values in the user config will override the default values in the primary (config.ini) file.

Mack•9/25/23, 11:52 PM

So I need to enable effects in VP force config in order for the game or Telem FFB to use those types of effects? Said differently, can a game or telem FFB use effects if I don’t have an effect enabled in the configuration ? (DCS is my only game). Is this question clear?

Number481•9/26/23, 11:38 AM

VPf configurator is the general config utility for the Rhino. It defines the maximum force capabilities for any of the effect categories like spring, periodic, damper, etc..

TelemFFB is %100 optional for DCS and is only a haptic effects generation app (things like engine rumble, gunfire, etc.). %99 of the effects are either periodic or constant force based, so those sliders in VPf configurator will define the maximum strength of those effects types.

Within the TelemFFB config, you set the intensity for each of the effects individually as a percentage of the maximum value. So if you had the periodic slider in configurator at 0, any effect in TelemFFB that is periodic based (most of them) would effectively be disabled.

I normally run my periodic slider at %50 and my constant force slider at %100.

walmis•9/26/23, 2:18 PM

If you stall in TF-51 for example the stick most definitely should go limp during the stall.

Boggy•9/26/23, 3:02 PM

I'm trialling the MB339 and it has this. When you're slow the control stick feels kinda limp and as speed picks up it gets harder to move. Really nicely done. I don't recall any other module having this implement but could be wrong.

As a side note, my F5 feels crazy sensitive, despite having the same axis settings as other modules.

MichalK•9/26/23, 3:21 PM

In DCS this is fairly consistent. Aircraft with mechanical controls have the stick forces increase with speed, and aircraft with hydraulic controls don't. Which is as it should be.

Number481•9/26/23, 4:01 PM

Are you sure you have FFB enabled in DCS?

Mack•9/26/23, 4:14 PM

Yes. I get some effects.

Mack•9/26/23, 4:15 PM

So far the only real feedback I’ve noticed is the haptic stuff here and there, and when I’m taking off in the mirage f-1 the stick moves as I get up to take off speed.

Mack•9/26/23, 4:15 PM

I also get the constant effects I put in the configurator

Mack•9/26/23, 4:17 PM

I must be doing something wrong because it’s underwhelming so far

MMack I must be doing something wrong because it’s underwhelming so far

Number481•9/26/23, 4:43 PM

I don't have the F1 so I don't know what its FFB implementation is like, but.. what exactly are you expecting? FFB by itself (without TelemFFB in the picture) will completely depend on a given modules implementation and will usually consist of dynamic stick forces if the module is not FBW hydraulic and maybe AoA/Stall shake.

Mack•9/26/23, 4:45 PM

In addition to the constant effects I put in the configurator. In spitfire and 109 Only some shaking at high AoA.

Number481•9/26/23, 4:52 PM

thats all you'll get for those modules unless you are running TelemFFB. Dynamic stick forces and AoA shake.

The default settings in TelemFFB for both of those aircraft should have engine rumble, gunfire, runway rumble, g-force loading, elevator droop (simulate weight of elevator when stopped), gear/flaps/canopy/speedbrake motion, gear/speedbrake drag buffeting

Mack•9/26/23, 4:54 PM

What is dynamic stick forces?

Would you mind sharing your settings ? Do you have an extension ? I'm running a 20 cm extension, and
