No, the kits are quick. Usually a few business days.

ok whats the deal. do i need VPforce configurator still if Ive donwloaded the new joystick VPforce software?

Dudeman•1/14/24, 2:10 AM

It looks like there are a lot more options in the old software

DDudeman It looks like there are a lot more options in the old software

walmis•1/14/24, 6:16 AM

What do you mean?

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:22 AM

I 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

walmis•1/14/24, 6:33 AM

They're all there

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:37 AM

Is that not the old software though? As it stands now I have 2 different programs to interface with the VPforce Rino

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:38 AM

I’m just wondering if the new software was meant to replace the old one, or if they work together now

walmis•1/14/24, 6:49 AM

1.0.16 is the latest one

walmis•1/14/24, 6:57 AM

Oh, you confused the firmware configuration software with the telemetry effects app

walmis•1/14/24, 6:57 AM

Yeah those are two different tools for the Rhino

Dudeman•1/14/24, 6:58 AM

Got it, that answers my question. Thanks

Andre•1/14/24, 11:45 AM

Are 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.

walmis•1/14/24, 12:24 PM

No, 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.

smitty•1/14/24, 3:04 PM

think of Configurator settings as allowed hardware maximums, and TelemFFB just reads game data and makes effects up to those maximums

Dudeman•1/14/24, 3:57 PM

How would you tune Configurator then? Just move all the sliders to 100%?

smitty•1/14/24, 3:59 PM

for spring, maybe yes. telem doesnt change inertia or friction though, so set them how you like.

Andre•1/14/24, 4:10 PM

So what effects are used by Telem? Spring, Constant, Damper?

walmis•1/14/24, 4:13 PM

Telem mainly generates various

Periodic

Periodic

rumble effects, some use

Constant

Constant

such as elevator droop effect,

Spring

Spring

- for dynamic spring forces in MSFS

Number481•1/14/24, 4:16 PM

you 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

Hey 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.

JIGGAwest•1/15/24, 2:27 AM

are 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.

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/

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 ...

B34ker•1/15/24, 5:41 PM

I'd imagine for space you'd want fairly light resistance with a bit of light damping, plus a limited throw so your arm doesn't get tired from moving it around all over

Boggy•1/15/24, 8:19 PM

For those that fly the F5 in DCS , what are your settings for the ailerons/roll? It rolls faster than an A4 if you leave it as standard.
