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.

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

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?

Number481•9/26/23, 4:55 PM

spring 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

Mack•9/26/23, 4:57 PM

I’m not feeling this noticeably. I must have the settings incorrectly set

Number481•9/26/23, 5:02 PM

next best suggestion I have is to post screenshots of your settings and effects tab in VPf configurator (maybe do it in #

support just so we stop spamming this channel)

Hey @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

Ophelia•9/26/23, 9:03 PM

what time period is that over?

Lassekongo•9/26/23, 9:55 PM

A 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

MashedPotato•9/26/23, 10:29 PM

Own 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

AndyHill•9/27/23, 1:09 AM

my only experience with hydraulic dampers is the one on my mfg pedals

AndyHill•9/27/23, 1:09 AM

I also tried to get different dry clutches to work but always got way too much sticktion for my taste

AndyHill•9/27/23, 1:11 AM

as 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

amadeus•9/27/23, 1:14 AM

Dry clutches have a lot of stiction issues

amadeus•9/27/23, 1:14 AM

Nyogel can help, but it’ll never fully fix it

amadeus•9/27/23, 1:14 AM

Just a physical limitation

amadeus•9/27/23, 1:15 AM

Need a wet clutch or a rhino

smitty•9/27/23, 1:15 AM

i built my old stick gimbal using teflon sheets under a spring, had very little stiction. but rhino is sooo much better

AndyHill•9/27/23, 1:20 AM

My problem is that I'm extremely allergic to sticktion but I want dampening

AndyHill•9/27/23, 1:20 AM

Well that was a problem

AndyHill•9/27/23, 1:22 AM

there's not much opportunity for sticktion to happen when the motors start applying dampening only after they sense movement

So 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

Boggy•9/27/23, 7:18 AM

Not 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.

Boggy•9/27/23, 7:21 AM

It's to prevent over stressing the airframe

MichalKOP•9/27/23, 8:22 AM

Nope. 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.

MichalKOP•9/27/23, 8:23 AM

They only have a centering force (cam & springs), that usually moves with the trim.

MichalKOP•9/27/23, 8:29 AM

Bobweights 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

MichalKOP•9/27/23, 8:32 AM

Interestingly, IL-2 also simulates bobweights in the Spitfire Mk V and Nieuport 17, which as I understand is true to real life.

Bob Bushman•9/27/23, 10:24 AM

If specifically looking for an f16 it is the one aircraft this can't simulate better than anything else.
Since its using a force cm sending system with very little movement.
For that, specifically, I'd look into the realsimulator.com force sensing gimbal and grips.
But it's at least a 1k euro for the gimbal and grip.

Maverick34•9/27/23, 12:11 PM

Okay thank you. Im looking to get a VR headset and a good hotas so I might go for the Winwing Orion 2 or something

Bob Bushman•9/27/23, 12:14 PM

Winwing also have a slightly less expensive force sensing base as well, but it handles it selves a little bit different than the realsim setup, granted almost half the price.

I own the winwing orion 2 and f16 throttle myself and find that great value for the viper.

Maverick34•9/27/23, 4:20 PM

It's still not cheap haha

Maverick34•9/27/23, 4:21 PM

Might be saving for awhile
