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!

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

SubsonicOP•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?

SubsonicOP•10/27/23, 1:50 PM

walmis•10/27/23, 2:04 PM

No, at the bottom:

walmis•10/27/23, 2:04 PM

It will show a fault code if the motor shuts down with a long beep

SubsonicOP•10/27/23, 2:06 PM

Got it thanks

If I set the pot function as Spring Gain, does it mean that at 100% pot value the spring effect would be at 30% according to the settings below?

smitty•10/27/23, 2:26 PM

yep the knob goes to that max setting

Snooper•10/27/23, 3:38 PM

hello, why in msfs flying th a2a comanche, I'm seeing the yoke moving but that is not reproduced in the rhino?

smitty•10/27/23, 3:47 PM

what kind of movement are you seeing? is this with or without autopilot

You gotta give us more info.. Are you using TelemFFB? Are you using the latest version which adds trim/AP following support? Have you set up the trim/ap following per the TelemFFB section in the VPforce manual?

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:03 PM

yes yes and yes

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:04 PM

I have it this way:

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:04 PM

#############################
##### MSFS Specific Defaults
#############################
telemffb_controls_axes = True
trim_following = True
ap_following = True

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:04 PM

in the config.ini

SSnooper yes yes and yes

Number481•10/27/23, 5:11 PM

Another quite important question... Do you have 'sticky spring' enabled in VPf Configurator?

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:19 PM

let me check

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:19 PM

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:20 PM

SSnooper no

Number481•10/27/23, 5:25 PM

Did you unbind your axes in MSFS? Sorry.. just going through the common issue causes

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:26 PM

yes I did

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:27 PM

I felt like it was for nothing, but I did. or felt like I did it someway wrong

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:27 PM

just cleared the bind and assign it back again as it was..

Number481•10/27/23, 5:29 PM

what does your comanche settings look like in your telemffb config?

Number481•10/27/23, 5:30 PM

last thing would be to drop a copy of your TelemFFB log file in here for me to look at.

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:30 PM

I think I have nothing specific for it

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:31 PM

config.ini24.32KB

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:33 PM

if you have some specific for the comanche that would be awesome

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:33 PM

and thanks!!

Number481•10/27/23, 5:35 PM

This looks like maybe an old copy of the default config.ini? The default for the latest TelemFFB has the a2a pa-24 (comanche) in it already

Number481•10/27/23, 5:36 PM

Without a specific aircraft section telling TelemFFB that the aircraft is a "PropellerAircraft".. things won't work right.

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:36 PM

ok.. all update and check if it has the comanche config part

Number481•10/27/23, 5:37 PM

your telemFFB log would tell me alot too

NNumber481 Did you unbind your axes in MSFS? Sorry.. just going through the common issue ...

Snooper•10/27/23, 5:58 PM

so, I need to unbind it a leave it unbind right?

SSnooper so, I need to unbind it a leave it unbind right?

Number481•10/27/23, 5:59 PM

yeah.. in order to get around the way MSFS behaves.... TelemFFB has to be the source of the axis position for the trim following feature to work.

Snooper•10/27/23, 6:03 PM

so I think I did all things right, and I have all set to true and unbinded the axis and im getting them to move in the sim

Snooper•10/27/23, 6:04 PM

but I put power to the ap and watch the yoke move in the sim but I dont see it in the rhino

Number481•10/27/23, 6:06 PM

telemffb log please

Snooper•10/27/23, 6:07 PM

ps im testing in the ground

Snooper•10/27/23, 6:13 PM

but the yoke moves it should move in the rhino too

Snooper•10/27/23, 6:29 PM

changing the hdg bug I can see in the msfs the yoke move and in the TelemFFB I see the ailerondefl move but not physicaly in the rhino

SSnooper but the yoke moves it should move in the rhino too

Number481•10/27/23, 6:31 PM

remember that MSFS has zero FFB implementation.. so all of the FFB is done through TelemFFB. This trim/AP following was not super simple to implement and is relatively new and while I promise it does in fact work, I certainly havent figured out all of the ways it can be mis-configured yet.. thats why I'm asking the stupid obvious questions.

Number481•10/27/23, 6:32 PM

So in general flight, you are feeling the dynamic stick forces? Stick is limp on the ground and stiffens up as you accelerate? What about trim. If you adjust trim, do you see the elevator and/or aileron axis move in the sim and or the rhino move?

Snooper•10/27/23, 6:33 PM

I have to check later but yes i supose I have to test the trim because I had the old config

Snooper•10/27/23, 7:03 PM

well, is working in flight

Snooper•10/27/23, 7:03 PM

but now the aileron in flight its weird almost like loose

Number481•10/27/23, 7:04 PM

Wait.. you were trying the autopilot on the ground before?

If you want to increase the spring strength of the axes, change these values in the aircraft config...
