Cthanks
Cone smaller question, noticing that the Mi-8 in DCS is not holding the trimmer button, anyone experienced? Both the Mi-24 and KA-50 are working just fine. Also I have special setting FFB stick turned on.
Cmaybe this module doesnt support force feedback? would be sad for a helo
WCheck the trimmer mode in DCS module special settings, maybe that's the culprit
Cset correctly to joystick without springs and force feedback, still have the issue with that setting on.
WYou need to set to instant trimmer
WThat setting means -without- springs and -without- ffb
WI just wanted to publicly acknowledge @walmis for spending some time helping me problem solve this one. It looks like a USB port was playing up. Everything is working fine 
PDid the rubber washer solve your problem?
Fyes @Pikas62, thanks for asking.
NI updated TelemFFB to the new version. now after a restart my shortcut is gone. where is the actual installation now? the previous installed folder has only a couple of files and no exe??
Ndownloaded the latest version and getting this now...
N
TI had this yesterday. Exempt the folder your FFB is in and run the updater again.
NLooks like windows keeps deleting the eye
NExe
TYep
NHow do I exempt the folder?
TGo to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection. Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions. Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process.
TI have all my VPForce/FFB stuff in one folder, so I just exempt the folder and viola.
NThanks a lot that worked
NWhere are my settings now actually saved?
NIn the export lua?
NIt’s all covered in the manual (section 4.2) including info on migrating old settings file to the new framework.

DIm wondering what is causing windows to think this is a virus and threat?
J@walmis VP is my first ever use of Python on my PCs and within my network. This article suggests Python can be used against us. How are we protected and how can we protect from the issues in this article? Thanks. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/windows-pcs-are-now-being-hit-by-dangerous-malware-here-s-the-steps-you-need-to-take-to-stay-safe/ar-BB1hrlVF?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=a0947bf222984375a66464bb7e2eaa14&ei=76
Nthis article is moslty clickbait. Do you actually have the python interpreter installed on your machine? Are you downloading random obscure python libraries from pypi? If not.. nothing to worry about.
BI can pretty much guarantee this is not the first time you use python application. It's a very common programming language.
That article, I don't know what that is doing besides trying to scare grandmother's

J@Number481 You are taking the question as an accusation. Please don't. I don't understand how Python works completely, but do understand rather high level access is granted to the applications. Inadvertently a problem could be introduced by using pre infected code without intent. @TorTorden I can guarantee I never used it because I needed to download it to start using Telem. Again there are no accusations being made at anyone and I fully appreciate the efforts of @Number481 and all other contributors.
Syou can download the exe of TelemFFB so you dont need Python on your pc.
BI can absolutely see how those big warnings from the os are scary, they are designed to be.
But mostly they just trip cause someone hasn't paid them the licensing fee.
You don't need 'python' to run Telemffb, you download the exe and run it like any other program

Jthat has python embedded
BLike so many other applications, most you don't even know.
S..which will only run the compiled code included, and was made on a pc that does not have infected libraries.
like the article says, you'd have to go out of your way to install weird libraries yourself and write your own python code for this to be an issue

NIf you are truly concerned about the TelemFFB executable in general, you can research the libraries which are used that actually come from pypi.. they are all listed in the requirements.txt file in the repository.
pyqt5- Used for the GUI interface
configobj- Used for managing configuration files in a structured way
pysimconnect @ https://github.com/walmis/pysimconnect/archive/refs/heads/master.zip- Used for communication with MSFS
traceback_with_variables- Used for printing useful information when errors occur
libusb1- Used for interfacing with the Rhino
pygetwindow- Used for dealing with weird FFB effect behavior when IL-2 loses window focus
requests- Used for HTTP communications to the build server to find/get latest version info
Every thing else that is used in the code is part of the standard python distribution.

Apython is one of if not the most popular programming language today
FPython is a widely used programming language that can use packets of other's code very easy, which is why most use it as they don't have to write that stuff themselves. I can guarantee some program you once used was made using python, you just never saw that.
DAh thanks, are there any other converters that could work? Signed cert is ideal, but this is open source after all
NThere are other "code freezing" utilities that can generate an exe similar to pyinstaller.. but afaik, they all have the same issue to one degree or another and I dont think any others are as flexible as pyinstaller is.
While a signed cert would remove the need for people to add an exception to their AV, it really amounts to the same thing. Just because a program is signed, doesn't mean its safe. It just means the author says its safe. Adding an exception to the install folder will cause the AV to ignore the folder.. i guess similar to how it would if it was signed. But then I am not a real application developer, so that could be partially or completely inaccurate.

NThere should be a new version of TelemFFB soon that hopefully will generate an exe that doesn't get flagged.. and then we can wait until the next time it happens to have all these conversations again 
DIs the code verified by other members before it is published? Just wondering if an extra pair of eyes could glance the code to ensure there is nothing suspicious? I am not a coder either, and am cautious about running an executable that isnt properly verified
NIts not, no.. The only assurance I can give is that I wouldn't know how to write a virus even if I wanted to
SIf my joystick is mining Dogecoins, at least give me a cut!
AOnce Rhino #0481 has been shipped, Number481 will activate the malicious code and all of them will proceed to whack... ^^

MI hope one day the software, or DCS is able to actually replicate this. Seeing the stick move when your (co)pilot moves it would be sick
