fwiw, was doing some experiments a while back and loaded up the default profile, and noticed it had a tendency to spin out into faults quite easily, and so reverted back to my profile
Ask? Can we get a DCS Section with Sub folders for each A/C so we can discuss specific tuning issues in those channels? Looking for assistance with DCS-F14-Auto Pilot - Alt Hold issue. I think it might be Sim-A/C specific.
DCS-F14-AP-Alt Hold - won't lock in / hold alt select alt with in game F14 specific FFB option on/or off when using TelemFFB. Getting ready to go down the rabbit hole of troubleshooting.... eg. with/without TelemFFB etc. Just wondering if anyone actually has it working with DCS 2.9 Beta.
Note: There is an old DCS forum post about the F14 AP Alt Hold not working well, which was supposed to be patched, but need to verify current state with community to determine if it is a DCS / FFB / etc issue.
hmmm, AP hold has generally been working fine for me, although I did a mission the other day, and was potentially noticing that it wasn't totally holding properly, or rather, it kinda was, but was swinging a bunch back and forth (i figured it maybe was related to turbulence or whatever, so i didn't really investigate further)
maybe take it a step further and also try a session with FFB in general disabled just using the rhino as a default spring joystick, and see if it's still an issue
Yup, ok down the troubleshooting rabbit hole I'll go. I'll report back with what I find. Can you PM me your TelemFFB config and VPForce Configs for comparison?
my vpforce config isn't really anything special, everything on 100%, except periodic effects at 50%, and friction at like 10%, all other default effects are essentially disabled (i have a balance spring I think though?), i can't get telemffb for you right now cause my stuff isn't connected so telem won't show me settings (currently workin rn too)
I am not sure what is happening, although it is probably because of user error. The Rhino will work okay in the F-15E, then when I move to another plane, the F-5E for example, it seems to want a complete recalibration or reboot. I jumped into the F-5E, the stick works for a minute then I get the fault encoder magnet error. Reset, unplug, plug back in, it goes away, recalibrate then it seems to be fine, as long as I do not yank the stick around.
The F-14 has been a complete disaster so far, every time I try to fly it whether it is from the take off position on the ground or a free flight air start, the stick shakes uncontrollably, then finally gives up the fight, gives me the encoder errors for booth X and Y axis and goes limp. A reset then usually works for a bit, but then the cycle repeats. Again, I am positive I do not have the settings correct or something is not installed right. I will disconnect everything, uninstall everything and try again.
Try segmenting the issue for each problem, one effect at a time slowly ramp up until you get what you want and it feels right. Remember, a true experiment is where you change one value and leave the others fixed and adjust that one change how you want it. From a cursory view of your settings, you have friction, inertia higher than mine possible damper as well. Turn down periodic effects much lower and finetune the F-14 specifically. HEATBLUR did extensive work on ffb effects so you really have to segment that one to get it right. I kinda wish people would post their per plane profiles more. There's a few but not many. I havent gotten to the F-14 much yet, if I do ill post my settings. Also the ffb settings to adjust are two-fold; one VPForce FFB Configurator and one VPForce Telemffb software.
Yes, agree, working through that now. When I get something that works and I think is repeatable, I'll post my settings for the F-14. DCS system base - Use FFB - Checked DCS F14 special use FFB Trim - Checked DCS F14 Controls - VPForce stick - FFB Tune settings: Trimmer - TBD and Shake - TBD VPForce Config: Settings TBD [Master TBD, Spring TBD, Damper TBD, Inertia TBD, Friction TBD, Constant TBD] VPForce Config: Effects TBD [Spring OFF, Damper OFF, Inertial Off, Friction Off, End Stops As Needed, Hardware Force Trim Off, etc... as needed] VPForce TelemFFB Config: TBD
Awesome stuff. So full disclosure, I rarely, rarely, rarely ever fly the F-14. Did I say rarely? I mainly fly the F-15E, sometimes A-10 and F-5. Of course with the F-4E coming out, I will add that to my stable. I also fly the Apache and the F-16. I have the F-16 covered, and will work on the Apache after I get the fixed wing done. The effects are not the issue for me UNLESS having them turned up is turning the rhino base off, which is what is happening.
i've found that the spring and damper LPF frequencies should not be evenly dividable. otherwise they tend to 'line up' and makes it worse. i see in your case the spring is 4hz and damper 8hz.. try spring 3hz and damper 10hz
Il-2 supports up to 8 devices. It's possible to exceed that limit, either because you have multiple vjoy devices, have racing gear attached in addition to your flight hardware, or maybe you just went a little wild building your home cockpit. This is a short guide to fixing that problem. If You On...
hi, it is possible to invert axis if I want the base to be the other side right? And then, it is saved in the firmware? In the device itself? (talking about the rhino base)
ok thanks. Waiting for some extensions from virpil (available in february), but then I think according to the place I'll put the base, I'll need the base to be the other side to have access to buttons
