I'm sure this has been asked before, and my inability to search through previous posts is showing, but I wondered if someone could help me get force trim to work properly in the DCS Huey. For whatever reason, the trim input seems to double- so I hold the trim release button down and move the cyclic to the position I want to trim to, and release the button- at this point, the trim setting is moved to twice the input trim. This is annoying, as it largely defeats the purpose of force trim. I have DCS trim settings to FFB. Any help much appreciated- I love my Rhino, and I can see how the force trim working properly will really add to the experience- just frustrating to have this niggle.

sounds like you might not have FFB enabled at the DCS root level? The behavior your are describing is how the 'instant trim' works with non-FFB joysticks. This behavior changes when FFB is enabled.

BTW, with the Huey you want either "Instant Trim" or "default" (I forget which it is in the Huey). Don't be fooled by "joystick with no springs and FFB".. that works on a couple aircraft, but not all. The "instant trim" or "default" is the correct one that will work on all helicopters.

FBB is enabled, and default is selected in the Huey- I checked both before replying here. Trim doubles!

Also make sure no curves are set in DCS axis configuration

Wwalmis Also make sure no curves are set in DCS axis configuration

Hi @walmis - loving the base- thanks for the support. This was the issue- but now- I can't control the heli- as I don't have the full range of movement I need with the stick. Any suggestions?

@walmis @Number481 Hi, I just installed the latest build for TelemFFB and now I am getting this error. I haven't had this issue with previous upgrades. Not understanding the responses google-ing a fix as this is my first need to use/run python.

TBH10CoyOP•11/14/23, 3:52 PM

I had tweaked the axis to ensure the movement mapped 1:1 - and this involved some tweaking

AndyHill•11/14/23, 4:22 PM

What prevents you from having full range of movement? If your legs or some other body parts prevent you from moving the stick all the way, you might want to limit the range in software or get a hardware limiter and calibrate accordingly

Legs/seat- will have a go in the Rhino software

TBH10CoyOP•11/14/23, 5:38 PM

Done- and thank you- this now sorted. One final issue and if you have a solution to this one I will be in Huey heaven. I am using a Vipril Z extension to position my grip in the right place. This means the weight of the grip (Alpha Prime) casues a slight downward pull on the base. Is it possible to zero the Rhino on this point? I.e. the rest position that comes into being with the sag casued from the grip?

Number481•11/14/23, 5:55 PM

set up the balance springs settings per this: 📃general then turn on 'adaptive recentering' for additional centering help (I use the z-extension with a heavy alpha prime grip..)

NNumber481 did you maybe copy the exe to your destkop instead of a shortcut?

JakeSixx33 | 744 |•11/14/23, 6:31 PM

Thank you both for responding. I must have copied the executable. I made a new shortcut and all is well. Thanks again.

Tiny problem with the Rhino and the KA-50: I set it to "INSTANT TRIM (DEFAULT)" as per the manual. I enabled force feedback in the misc options.
Whenever I trim in the KA-50, I get a force to the center of the stick while I press the trimmer.

audax•11/15/23, 8:39 PM

Same problem in the UH-1

audax•11/15/23, 8:46 PM

I accidently set the knob to y-trim.

audax•11/15/23, 8:54 PM

Well… my x-axis is inverted. But when i set the axis acutally to "inverted" in the config, then the force feedbac effects are the wrong way around.

Number481•11/15/23, 8:56 PM

dont invert anything in DCS.. if youve mounted your base backwards (buttons away from you), invert the axes in configurator.. leave them normal in DCS

audax•11/15/23, 8:57 PM

I didn't mount the base backwards and my y axis works fine. I did not invert the axis in the config nor in DCS.

audax•11/15/23, 8:57 PM

I'll check with another aircraft

audax•11/15/23, 8:58 PM

the gamecontroller settings in windows also show the same problem.

audax•11/15/23, 8:58 PM

So at least it's independent of DCS

audax•11/15/23, 8:58 PM

I reset the config and the problem remains

Number481•11/15/23, 8:59 PM

the proper default inversion settings in configurator are, X=inverted checked, Y= not checked

audax•11/15/23, 8:59 PM

Oh. It didn't set it like that when I reset the config!

Number481•11/15/23, 9:00 PM

you want to load the default.vpconf thats in the install directory

audax•11/15/23, 9:01 PM

Having inverted as the default is… weird

AndyHill•11/15/23, 9:04 PM

the configurator can't really know which way you have the base installed

Number481•11/15/23, 9:07 PM

This is the answer.. sure walmis could invert the inversion logic in the code to make the rhino motor orientation correct with both set to non-inverted.. but then your motors would both be working in different directions if you had them sitting on the table getting ready for a DIY build.

audax•11/15/23, 9:13 PM

I was just confused by the "reset config" button

You can use the order form for either the full adapter or you can write that you want spare parts.
P.S. I've improved that screw part a while ago so hopefully there will be no more breakage reports

ddrake1984•11/16/23, 6:32 AM

Mine wasnt a result of screws tho

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but over the last FFB update or two I noticed it flips my rudder input and there's no way for me to re-bind or invert it from inside DCS. If I close TelemFFB, works normal.

Have you experienced this, @Number481?

Talking fixed wing? Very high probability there are bugs in the rudder trim following feature that I haven't found yet.
