DI took some pictures today, figured I would share the important bits

RSomeone told me there was a FFB kit for MFGs?
JIdk if he's made then available yet but yes
JJust have to drill some holes in the mfgs and done
MThe rudder movement on this bird is more akin to a jet than other helos or am I mistaken?
D@stewmanji will know better
JThe adapter translates the full functionality of the WW grip to the Rhino. You will have all the extra buttons and axis. One exception is probably the stick shaker that is integrated in some WW grips. But with the Rhino you have a better option for these effects anyway. Don't know about the SimAppPro. I also don't know but doubt very much that the adapter would make the ww grip work on a virpil/TM base. I believe it is working withe the rhino only.
VGood to know. I use a VKG gunfighter 3 with the MCGU grip. Wondering if it will be too heavy. I also have the older plastic MCG but rather not go back to it.
S@VPforceBot !info
Fprobably best to private message the bot instead of sharing your e-mail address with the public 
SI was trying to
SYeah, I wanted to avoid that
Jplenty of people use the mcgu just fine
SIs there a waiting period for the DIY kits? My order was moved to "processing". Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
WNo, the kits are quick. Usually a few business days.
SOk, thank you

RPics?
Dok whats the deal. do i need VPforce configurator still if Ive donwloaded the new joystick VPforce software?
DIt looks like there are a lot more options in the old software
WWhat do you mean?
DI guess to be more specific, the software defined end stops. I don’t see an option for that in the new software. I had to use the old configurator to access that. Plus other stuff like breakout force for example. Not that I use that one
WThey're all there 
DIs that not the old software though? As it stands now I have 2 different programs to interface with the VPforce Rino
DI’m just wondering if the new software was meant to replace the old one, or if they work together now
W1.0.16 is the latest one
D@walmis is this not associated with you then?
DIt’s 3rd party?
WOh, you confused the firmware configuration software with the telemetry effects app
WYeah those are two different tools for the Rhino
DGot it, that answers my question. Thanks
AAre there plans to integrate the two programs? As a noob i find it quite confusing how the settings from the Configurator influence the Telem effects. 
WNo, the scope of both programs is very different, so they will stay separate. Mostly the "volume" sliders in the configurator Settings tab affect the telem effects, but those will be available to control via telem too.
Sthink of Configurator settings as allowed hardware maximums, and TelemFFB just reads game data and makes effects up to those maximums
DHow would you tune Configurator then? Just move all the sliders to 100%?
Sfor spring, maybe yes. telem doesnt change inertia or friction though, so set them how you like.
ASo what effects are used by Telem? Spring, Constant, Damper?
WTelem mainly generates various
Periodic rumble effects, some use Constant such as elevator droop effect, Spring - for dynamic spring forces in MSFS
Nyou can also adjust dampening in some of the effects too... But as of today, the %s you set in TelemFFB are not equal to the slider %s in configurator. Rather, they are a % of whatever the slider in configurator is set to
AThank you!
MAnyone use a virpl constellation grip on the boeing NLR sim seat? If so what size of extension do you use?
RHey guys I'm in need of your recommendations, Settings for DCS helicopters. Additionally, how I might set a force release button on my stick just like you would find in the UH60 and AH64.
Jare you having trouble with something specific? I did my inital setup with the VP Force configurator settings and running a stock config file for TelemFFB works fine for me. the force trim works with the binings in DCS. additionally you can override the force trim in dcs and have the VP Force configurator handle this.

原It looks like a reversed(?) pendular mechanism? To my knowledge lots of aircraft share this design, from GA to airliner, and helo; some fighter(F-14)/attacker(A-10) uses a pendular version similar to the TPR; the ones on newer fighter like 16 35? has very limited travel and requires strong force to operate and don't like any design in the consumer market(18 is also short travel+strong force but seems to be a different mechanism)https://forum.dcs.world/topic/215458-rudder-pedals-animation/?do=findComment&comment=5133172
The ones from virpil seem to be more RUS style; I'm not familiar with the mechanism used by MFG/WW, this is the only one I know one:https://forum.dcs.world/topic/159858-jet-provost-rudder-pedal-conversion/

Hi all thought I would share a little project I have taken on. Still waiting for delivery but should be here this week. A set of jet provost rudder pedals with toe brakes. I plan to use a Leobodnar board and hopefully hall sensors, but will take a closer look once it arrives. EDIT: Had to remove ...
