Hey guys how do I go about downloading & installing the new TelemFFB software? can I just do a git pull? or should I reinstall?

PiNKSH!T•1/9/24, 11:59 AM

hey m8, is runway rumble supposed to be on 750%?

PPiNKSH!T hey m8, is runway rumble supposed to be on 750%?

Number481•1/9/24, 12:26 PM

hah.. runway rumble is one of those weird effects that didn't blow up if you set the value higher than 1.0 in the original configs and I think there were some aircraft that had that set as the default.

One of the new aspects of this new UI is that the settings sliders can be made so that they only offer a useful range, even though they display %0-100.

So many of the usable effect intensity values are in the 0.1-0.2 range, that the sliders are actually applying a scaling factor under the hood to 1.) only provide a usable setting range and 2.) give more granularity inside that setting range.

So there are some artifacts like that (%750) on a few of the old default values.

Number481•1/9/24, 12:27 PM

the slider range for the runway rumble may need to be adjusted (in a subsequent version)

NNumber481 hah.. runway rumble is one of those weird effects that didn't blow up if you se...

PiNKSH!T•1/9/24, 12:27 PM

ahh ok lol, once I touched that slider & set it to full it's at 100%, hiting the 'x' will put it back to 750%

Number481•1/9/24, 12:28 PM

yeah, the x button reverts the setting to what is in the default config

Number481•1/9/24, 12:32 PM

BTW, since you migrated from source.. you can take your old user config and drop it in the exe folder. If it is named config.user.iniconfig.user.ini, telemFFB will see it when starting and offer to convert those settings to the new model for you.

If it has a different name, you will need to start telemFFB with the -o <userconfig filename>-o <userconfig filename> runtime flag in order for it to pick it up for conversion.

@walmis @Number481 The latest auto update has made a mess. It did not restart after the update and the updater now enters a continuous cycle of updating from the former start shortcut. No new install location can be found. Is there a manual version of importing the previous *.VPconf files and User.ini?

common occurence for apps bundled with pyinstaller.. Windows defender and some other AV tools will sometimes flag a given build as a virus. This is because it is written in Python and compiled with ‘pyinstaller’ which can sometimes result in certain partial file hashes that have been previously found in low tech malware that is commonly also written in Python and compiled with pyinstaller

Number481•1/9/24, 7:55 PM

recommend trying not launching from a shortcut. launch directly from the exe.. but if the in-pace install is already corrupted, it might be easier just to grab the latest zip distribution and start fresh https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/TelemFFB/?C=M;O=D

mh, it crashes and the .xml config has nothing in it.

Mr. S•1/9/24, 8:01 PM

if I say "no" to the initial config.user.ini conversion prompt it behaves normally.

Mr. S•1/9/24, 8:01 PM

I mean, it starts, but if I try the conversion from Utility it crashes silently before doing anything

interesting... send me your userconfig if you don't mind... I'd like to investigate why its failing. If the config worked with the previous TelemFFB without error, it should convert over.

TelemFFB (3017d8df) shows errors for HPG160 and MSFS
But telemffb_controls_axes is enabled and cyclic axes are not bind.
How can I solve this?

telemffb_controls_axes = enable in the 2 locations.

resolve the issue in the log message....

and

I'll look to see if there's an issue with the default settings because the axis control should be enabled by default for those helicopters

I've been having a play with the latest version of Telem FFB and enjoying all the work put into the new UI. I did notice when I got in the spitfire in DCS that there was no elevator droop when not moving and I couldn't find any section to adjust that value. Am I just been stupid by not seeing it or was it missed in the initial rollout?

Final Glide•1/10/24, 12:54 AM

Also can't find settings such as ground touch down.

looks like elevator droop was, in fact, missed... but the touchdown effect should be part of 'runway rumble'

I just tried changing runway rumble from 100% to 0% using the Gazelle and noticed no change when doing a heavy landing. Just to be sure I went to another module in between just to make sure the setting changes were loaded.

you sure? whats your constant force slider set to in vpf configurator?

Final Glide•1/10/24, 1:27 AM

Constant force slider set to 100% in vpf config

Number481•1/10/24, 1:32 AM

ok... you should be able to feel something (albiet potentially small) when doing a (rough) landing.. but you are onto something as the max range in the default config is not big enough.. thats a weird setting that sometimes needs to be >1.0 to be felt and the current defaults are limiting it to 0.4 or less.. next update will allow the setting to go up to 4.0 (will still be a slider of %0-100) which will have the ability to really jolt you during a rough landing
