GHeeeeelp, I have a really weird issue...
If I have the stick plugged in and choose to fly the Gazelle, the collective jumps to 60%. If I move MY collective you can see it trying to respond but immediatly jumps back to 60%
If I unplug the stick the collective works fine.
It only does this on the Gazelle unless I unplug the stick then plug it back in, in which case all heli's now go to 60% collective.
All other mappings have been removed and the only thing bound to collective in axis is my virpil collective, there is also nothing mapped to collective in buttons.

R@Glaive(Rikk) With the VPC joystick tester open, do you see any interference with the collective axis when you move either of the Rhino axis after raising the collective?
If not, the only thing I think it can be is a dual binding in the DCS controls. I know you’ve checked but I’d look at the DCS controls tab again and, if you still don’t see the axis bound on the Rhino, clear the bindings on both controllers. Hit OK to exit the controls tab then go back in and rebind as necessary.

GProblem solved after lots of digging, seems to be the only module where both the pilot and copilot controls are ALWAYS active. Removed all the controls from the copilot and now it flies fine.
JI did a bit of digging. It looks like windows turned on USB suspend mode after an update. I disabled this on all the usb ports in the device manager and In the power plan settings. I'll let you know if this still happens.
BMy X-Axis started to feel weird today, when i move it left and right i feel a rumble/knocking that feels like the engine rumble effect. Telem software is off. The Y Axis is totally smooth when moving it over the center. Slowly moving the stick over the center feels smooth. Changing the center with forcetrim also changes the rumble location.
These are my settings, playing around with them changes the intensity but doen't fully get rid of it, i can still feel it with 90% Gain and 40% Spring, everything else at 0.

FWhen I pull my stick to the right, at the center of the draw, base makes a sound of plastic getting force and grip feels like it's ticking. And after the center of the draw, it moves smoothly.
In the other direction, it moves smoothly to the end.
Should I open the base and tighten something?

AEasiest to check are the five bolts on each large pulley. I tigtened mine a 1/8 turn, and clunks went away. There were also one or two bases with clicks in the stick connector - alu tube -interface. Lemme find the original post real quick.
AAAnd maybe the small pulley grub screws, on the motor axles. They were really tight on mine, didn't dare to tighten them more.
FThank you for your advice! I'll try that!
AYou're welcome! Hope it works 
TI periodically unscrew and lift the leather boot and tighten the screws holding the stick in the gimbal, as well as the bolts that hold the motor in place.
FGood tips! Thank you!
Hhi, how do I use the force trim in dcs with the huey and the rhino? thanks
BSet trim options to instant, then bind a trim button ingame.
Hinstant in the configurator?
HI have to activate hardware force trim in the configurator?
Hok I understand. Just that I had to use balance spring to adjust my long shaft weight 
Hwhat do you mean by trim options to instant?
BDcs options.
Special, select the module icon.
Special, select the module icon.
Hin trimmer mode I have the options of "default", "trim in central position" and joystick without ffb.
Hseems default and central position does the same thing
BFor the Huey, select default. Make sure FFB is on under the Misc tab, and bind a joystick button to the "Trimmer"
Hthanks. I also see a recenter button in the options, but the real huey does not have that no?
BNo, that's an option for use with non-FFB sticks as a work around. The real aircraft you have to re-center manually.
Halso the center in an helicopter does not mean anything, I mean it depends what you're doing
BTrue. Neutral is a better term.
Hbut even neutral. Neutral when you're on the ground is not neutral when you're hovering, as you always have to move controls around
BNeutral means the rotor system is not applying a force to move the helicopter. It applies in any mode. Neutral will be different depending on hovering, forward flight, on the ground, etc. That's why the re-center button doesn't exist on the real helicopter.
Hthis is the main use of a ffb device, force trim this is great ^^ though I guess as I use a long shaft and a heavy grip I have to tweak ffb effects and settings to have it work well
this is great ^^ though I guess as I use a long shaft and a heavy grip I have to tweak ffb effects and settings to have it work wellBJust checked, huey is set to central for me, apache, ka50 is set to instant
Hjust checked. Apache is instant too by default on my dcs too
BWith a FFB stick, to have realistic behaviour, you should have trim set to default in the Huey, Instant in the Apache, as well as the Ka-50.
Hmonths I didn't use dcs, tried yesterday with my new rhino device and works great, I have not lost too much, I was able to land on a tower control
Hseems instant or central is the same no?
Hthis is how I have installed my cyclic...
BI guess I haven't tried setting it to central with a FFB stick. I know without FFB, it doesn't apply the change in trim until you put the stick back to center after releasing the trimmer.
Janyone fly the SA342 gazelle? I've been struggling with the new flight model and implementation of forcefeed back. specifically instatnt trim, it doesn't seem to work the same at different speeds. I'm not sure if that is accurate. But, I am fighting the trim. it seems to double the trim inputs in some cases and no trim at all in other cases. before I report it to Polychop, I'd like to hear others opions on this.
NOn the gazelle, you have to enable a special FFB toggle in the special menu.. its the only module like that
J- the trim in the uh-1 works amazingly well
- the ah-64(for me) I belive has an issue with static force, or possible just the implentation of force trim. I have to compensate with curves in game. I've not found another way.
Ji have it enabled. there is a secondary toggle is that the one you are speaking about?
Nthe separate one (from the game global) in its special settings, yes
Ji believe i have this set, I'll double check. have you flown the gazelle recently? are you not experiencing any trim issues with these settings?
NI haven't, no
Jit was the forcefeed back gain curve, I had it set to 100
Ji guess i thought that was an effects curve. but its a controls curve.
MWhen I have spring at max in vpforce configurator and I push/pull against the force the motors pretty quickly go into overcurrent fault and the stick needs to be unplugged/replugged.
My psu is 180w/20v so I have max psu current set to 9a and max motor current set to 30. Should these be higher? Are there other settings I should be looking at too?

BI found the solution to the weird rumble / knocking feeling had in my X-Axis. Turned out the upper screw on the base connector of the Virpil S-Curve worked it's way loose. All other screws were tight. If this happens again i might have to turn down the rumble a bit.. Putting this here i case anyone else has this problem and Ctrl+F's the Discord for "Knocking" or "Rumble" like me.
ALooking at the picture, I see the extension is touching the seat. Did you have to adjust limits in the software? Would it work better if you raise the whole thing a little bit?
AYours is DiY I think. Maybe measures are not the same with the VP one.
