Nice. Software dev myself so I’ve got an aye on possibly contributing myself. Really interesting to see if I can pull something out of DCS to put judder in the rudder pedals if you oversteer the nose wheel of the F18 on “high”. You carry on going straight instead of turning if you’re going too fast so I’m thinking something like detecting the rotation angle of the pedals and if there’s any corresponding rotation of the aircraft itself. Maybe scale the “rumble” based on amplitude of your speed and difference between input vs rotational velocity.
Basically it’s something that I always get caught out for on the carrier and would like some feedback to know when it’s happening

There is a surprising amount of data you can get out of DCS. Some effects even go so far as to interrogate the model draw arguments to generate the telemetry needed for an effect. The afterburner rumble is this way for example. That's also how the damage effect I wrote works. It pulls all of the damage related draw arguments for an aircraft (i.e., the visual bullet holes and texture/model changes that occur when you take damage). There is no other damage telemetry that I could figure out how to access.

RoyMi6OP•11/20/23, 9:16 PM

Ah yeah, I think I saw someone mention that AB effect in another chat somewhere. Oh well, good to know that we can essentially be as hacky as we want to get an effect

My number is getting close

for the gunfighter attachment is it for the Mk3 or Mk4?

Handy#8443•11/21/23, 2:50 AM

it appears that rhinos are being shipped at an average rate of 3 units per day.

Handy#8443•11/21/23, 2:55 AM

if that is so

Not having to climb out of the sim cockpit to attach or deattach the spring from the pedals would be a dream.

So im working on getting this EDForceFeedback to work from this elite dangerous FFB github you sent. I have a working version for sidewinder 2 FFB.

Now hooking up the rhino.
It needs product GUID . How do I find that. Does anyone know what this value is for the VPForce Rhino?
Update: EDForceFeedback works

, use below in your settings.json for VPForce Rhino to work.
Also use this release, the latest didn't work for me.

thanks for the update

Dr. No•11/21/23, 11:29 AM

Wow I learned from that github there is this wonderful visual editor for forces .ffe files
It's from 2010 but so cool, you have to put the program in compatibility mode for Windows 98/Me
It's amazing though. I wonder how you guys create forces.

Dr. No•11/21/23, 11:29 AM

Promise it's not a virus or anything, they use these .ffe files with signals from Elite Dangerous to input forces via events.
Super simple to create and implement. Maybe i'll build more of this game out, there are very few effects he's setup thus far.
I got this file from the EDForceFeedback github

Apparently I stumbled across this paid app.
https://www.simracingstudio.com/pc-games Its $20 a year subscription and it adds ffb to 120+ games. Just interesting. If I get it ill report back what the experience is.

Force Feedback never went away in the Simracing world. There just was not enough demand for Joysticks with ffb.

Dr. No•11/21/23, 7:08 PM

Ah that's right! I wonder checking other software like this we can back capture some of those games and maybe tweak it further with controller software as well to see all the FFB possibilities for this FFB stick base

Bob Bushman•11/21/23, 7:09 PM

And for a very long time there barely was ms flightsim. All the spaceship and 6dof stuff vanished for ten years or so for tomb raider third person games and first person military shooters.

Dr. No•11/21/23, 7:09 PM

I think the motion simulator stuff took off as well and as they build out we might be able to take advantage of that software as well.

Bob Bushman•11/21/23, 7:09 PM

What little market there was for joysticks was taken over by twin stick gamepads.

Dr. No•11/21/23, 7:10 PM

Oh i didnt realize they had 6dof stuff back then
