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
Remarkable improvement by moving the filter values to the settings Walmis suggested. I still feel like it is a little off, but that is more of a βsettingβ thing I think. And I have not tried βyanking and bankingβ yet, but it seems to be ho,ding together.
I started flying the Strike with the Rhino and also noticed it was pretty loose especially around the center making refueling harder. Did you manage to get your settings dialed in for it?
Using Walmisβ recommendations, I have changed the filters, it feels better, but going past a certain point, it gets really, really βlooseβ, kind of the opposite of spring resistance where a spring joystick wants to return to center, the stick now gets to a point when pulling back and it wants to remain pulled back or actually go further. I have seen some settings for TelemFFB for the F-15E, but they are part of the βsliderβ UI and I do not seem to be able to find out how to access that yet.
Strange, I am not getting any native FFB on DCS, despite having activated it in the Options menu. None of my Effects are on "Sticky" so native FFB is not being over ridden. Feedback from TelemFFB works fine though.
@walmis in the process of trying to move a DIY grip from a Arduino Micro to the 32 shift register you sent me, is there any info on how to properly wire this up? I have looked all over the discord for something.
I'm having an issue I hope is just me missing something simple. I have Rhino kit #1, which I just updated to the most current software. WEBUSB Tool connects, no option to update firmware so assuming that's up to date now.? VP Force software sees when its USB connected but motors status offline and neither webusb tool or vp force register position.
In windows game controller settings it shows up and the position can be read there. The motors seem happy as the cogging disappears when connected/powered.
Do you mean you can see the axis moving using joy.col but not at the vpforce configurator? Thatβs strange. I had an issue where the configurator kept saying motor offline, but there was no cogging at the motor . Turned out one of the serial wires to the motor was fraying at the connector. I re-crimped the wire and everything is ok again.
