increasing PSU current to 14 does seem to fix it, although i don't know if that is safe?

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:18 AM

(or at least -- vastly reduces it, it might still be there a little bit

walmisOP•10/23/23, 6:18 AM

I recommend not exceeding max current of the PSU, otherwise PSU over current shutdowns are to be expected

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:19 AM

what's max current of the psu?

walmisOP•10/23/23, 6:19 AM

9.5A iirc

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:20 AM

what's strange is that it only happens in the X axis, not the Y axis :/

walmisOP•10/23/23, 6:20 AM

Or you can reduce max motor amps to 28.

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:21 AM

so what exactly is happening? out of curiosity?

walmisOP•10/23/23, 6:21 AM

saturation

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:22 AM

28 motor max and 9.5 psu current do definitely get rid of most of it for sure

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:22 AM

there's still a bit, but it's much further towards the extremities, which makes it less likely to hit

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:22 AM

it is weird that the Y axis seems to have not of this prob though

walmisOP•10/23/23, 6:24 AM

Also force compensation could play a role here

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:26 AM

i definitely have much higher force compensation on the X axis

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:26 AM

150 on X vs 80 on Y

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:28 AM

but does make me wonder if there's some software level stuff that still could account for this and make it feel better?

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:28 AM

i definitely need 150 on the X axis, Y axis doesn't need it, not sure why

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:29 AM

if i drop force compensation down to 80 for the X axis, the problem does go away, but of course, i don't hit the max X value under 100% spring force)

walmisOP•10/23/23, 6:30 AM

I did some work on power limiting and force comp for the next firmware, so hopefully it will improve on this

amadeus•10/23/23, 6:30 AM

sick, i look forward to the next christmas drop (and by that i mean, anytime you release a firmware update it's christmas lol)

Reed•10/23/23, 4:20 PM

Nice

Reed•10/23/23, 4:20 PM

When we update the firm are all of the defaults also updated to the current standard?

Timmy•10/25/23, 5:43 PM

Hey, I just received my Rhino and it feels great to fly in Apache, but I noticed that it slides a bit forward (and stops) when I trim in negative Y position.
How can I fix it? I'm using TM Warthog stick without extensions.

walmisOP•10/25/23, 5:56 PM

Hey, you mean it sags a bit forward?

walmisOP•10/25/23, 5:58 PM

TM grip is quite heavy and you can balance it using the "Balance spring" feature, you can find a discussion here recently: 🧰support

walmisOP•10/25/23, 5:59 PM

Also "adaptive recentering" helps to keep the stick in the trimmed position

Timmy•10/25/23, 5:59 PM

I'll try, thank you

Is there a variable in TelemFFB to reduce engine rumble in fixed wing aircraft? I only see a switch to turn it on and off in the stock config file.

 engine_rumble_lowrpm = 650            
 engine_rumble_lowrpm_intensity = %8     
 engine_rumble_highrpm = 2800        
 engine_rumble_highrpm_intensity = %4

Should work for DCS or MSFS (or IL2).. even if its maybe not in the default sim section

Subsonic•10/26/23, 12:14 AM

So....crazy thing I have seen sine the last DCS update....
Tomcat on deck before launch, wipe out the controls
Pull back on stick at a moderate to high rate....boom!....pitch motor takes a nap and base needs a power cycle to wake up
Odd since the only ffb forces are the basic spring and damper rates.

In flight, a rapid split S, not really slamming the stick aft...smae effect...nap time for pitch. Never an issue in roll.

Outside of DCS...I can whip the stick around and never an issue.

Subsonic•10/26/23, 12:14 AM

Subsonic•10/26/23, 12:15 AM

Does not seem like a current spike.....but maybe it is happening too fast to see in the software?
Thanks for consideration in advance...

Do you have telem running? Can you check the fault code once it enters the failed state?

Dang, forgot about telem, I will give that a look today. Thanks!

blave549•10/26/23, 5:27 PM

Just a note that I ran into something that I'd never seen before in DCS Open Beta (that is almost certainly unrelated to anything Rhino). In the A-10C II, my stick would not work, even though the x/y axes showed up as working in the Control Options dialog. At one point it started working, but then stopped again. I think, but am not sure, that it's specific to the Hawg. I tried a couple other aircraft and they were fine.

Subsonic•10/27/23, 1:39 PM

Good morning (afternoon for you I think),
SO I ran Telem and did some testing.
When I can induce the shutdown, nothing shows in telemetry.
So I messed around with the max gain pot and lowered it some and no pitch shutdown on faster pulls.
Certainly seems related to effect intensity and just the pitch motor shutting down.
Do you think this is maybe power supply related? I was thinking not since the roll motor stays active.
Could this be a motor current issue and will the max current setting in the software help? Though it is set to 25A and the PSU is not gonna push that much.
Keeping max gain turn down a bit seems to keep it all in check, but I would love to get back to the strength settings I had if possible.
Thanks!

walmisOP•10/27/23, 1:44 PM

A motor fault code would be useful here, it's displayed in the status bar (OK when operational)

Subsonic•10/27/23, 1:50 PM

ahh in the status bar ok...since in the main telem screen I saw nothing but the normal connections ok, effects on, and the power reset.
In this status bar?
