MJust so you know, DCS warbirds have this effect already implemented to some extent by ED, while more modern aircraft usually do not do that in DCS nor in real life
NVPf 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.

MHmm. Ok. I think I’m doing something wrong then because I’m not feeling it.
WIf you stall in TF-51 for example the stick most definitely should go limp during the stall.
MI’ve done most of my testing on the spit, bf-109 and the mirage f-1. Which is what I fly mostly
MI’ll set mine to the same and keep playing.
BI'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.

MIn 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.
NAre you sure you have FFB enabled in DCS?
MYes. I get some effects.
MSo 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.
MI also get the constant effects I put in the configurator
MI must be doing something wrong because it’s underwhelming so far
NI 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.
MIn addition to the constant effects I put in the configurator. In spitfire and 109 Only some shaking at high AoA.
Nthats 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

MWhat is dynamic stick forces?
Nspring gain changes based on your airspeed.. when stopped, the controls are floppy. when near stall speed, the controls are mushy.. in flight, the spring is tight and self centering
MI’m not feeling this noticeably. I must have the settings incorrectly set
Nnext best suggestion I have is to post screenshots of your settings and effects tab in VPf configurator (maybe do it in #

VHey @geezalbert,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0204 on 2023-09-26
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 205 days, median is 219 days, max is 292 days
202 Rhinos are shipped in total

Owhat time period is that over?
LA question regarding the hydraulic feel. Right now i got two 1:5 rc dampers hooked on to my vkb gunfighter and was looking to get a virpil to add mc steering dampers as it have a 3d print design available for steering dampers setup (the one mfg uses for example)
But i much rather get the VP rhino instead
Might be hard to give a general answer on but in summary if anyone here is an irl active or former pilot or have a similar diy hydrualic dampened sim joystick like me and a VP rhino i would really appreciate your opinion on how well force feedback motors emulate hydrualic feeling

MOwn rhino, but never flown. Do have a damper on my pedals, and I will say the rhino software really let's you dial it in, and it feels more similar to the hydraulic damper, than to the friction dampers that VKB and Virpil use. The software lets you dial in dampening, friction, and inertia to your liking
Amy only experience with hydraulic dampers is the one on my mfg pedals
AI also tried to get different dry clutches to work but always got way too much sticktion for my taste
Aas far as I can tell the rhino is in a league of its own, the abovementioned adjustments give you the possibility to set it up pretty much to your liking
ADry clutches have a lot of stiction issues
ANyogel can help, but it’ll never fully fix it
AJust a physical limitation
ANeed a wet clutch or a rhino 
Si built my old stick gimbal using teflon sheets under a spring, had very little stiction. but rhino is sooo much better
AMy problem is that I'm extremely allergic to sticktion but I want dampening
AWell that was a problem
Athere's not much opportunity for sticktion to happen when the motors start applying dampening only after they sense movement
MHi I'm new here. Im trying to save for a F-16 setup and was wondering how much this cost?
MIm very interested in it and believe it would be amazing to have
F#?faq
MSorry
JSo Meta Connect is in 13.5 hours, we'll likely see final details about Meta Quest 3 and release date.
Meanwhile Valve has been busy with SteamVR stuff and rolled out 2.0 beta very recently. Exciting stuff happening in VR that could help improve flight sim

BNot true , despite having hydraulic controls most (if not all?) hydraulicly powered aircraft will have an artificial feel unit installed (Q-Feel) to mimic aerodynamic forces increasing on the stick as the speed increases.
BIt's to prevent over stressing the airframe

MNope. Most of them really don't adjust forces on the stick as the aircraft goes faster. Q-Feel is a name of the system installed in the Harrier that does that, but only in the elevator channel. Something similar is also installed in the F-4 elevator control system. But other aircraft, like F-14, F-15, F-18, A-10, F-86 etc. don't do that.
MThey only have a centering force (cam & springs), that usually moves with the trim.
MBobweights are common and they increase the force on the stick with G-loads. Personally I don't like this effect in the sim, as it can't be properly felt if you don't experience gforces yourself. Others like it, it can be tweaked in TelemFFB to your taste
