In DCS how do the settings in the configurator interact with what DCS is giving?
Does making changes in the configurator settings and effects change anything in DCS at all?

GGlaive(Rikk)In DCS how do the settings in the configurator interact with what DCS is giving?...

Number481•2/24/24, 4:03 PM

Configurator sets the max capability for a given effect type. A sim can send the FFB command for “%50 spring”. That will be %50 of whatever your configurator spring settings are.

Glaive(Rikk)OP•2/24/24, 4:09 PM

Does that work the same for all the settings and effects?

Number481•2/24/24, 4:17 PM

Yes. Some modules also vary the amount of dampening on the controls. The resulting force you feel will be affected by the damper settings in Configurator.

Same goes for all the stuff in TelemFFB. Most of those effects are "periodic" type. So while you can adjust each effect individually in TelemFFB, they are all really "% of configurator value"

Glaive(Rikk)OP•2/24/24, 5:00 PM

That may explain the issue I'm finding with the apache, I have an offset grip so have -5.5% static force and that allows the stick to centre perfectyl for every module........ except the apache which seems to want -2.5%
Is there anyway to change profiles/settings based on module?

You can dynamically load configurator profiles per aircraft with TelemFFB

Ah cool, found it. Didn't relate the two I had assumed that was a settings file for TelemFFB itself...
Thanks

I know I’ve asked a few times but I’ve finally finished my move. Does anyone have any budget friendly Rhino compatible rig recommendations? I love the 80/20 style. Happy to build my own if there are plans too.

superbird1011•2/25/24, 10:45 PM

I tried desk mounting but my desk isn’t that strong and it limited me. I do want a full rig style one. I like the racing sim ones just without the angled racing chair and with actual mounting options

HPLsCat•2/25/24, 10:45 PM

Yeah, desk mount won't cut it, mine's still chair mounted and that works well

HHPLsCat Yeah, desk mount won't cut it, mine's still chair mounted and that works well

superbird1011•2/25/24, 10:49 PM

Oh I see!

superbird1011•2/25/24, 10:49 PM

I’ll consider it but I rarely fly anything with side mounting

superbird1011•2/25/24, 10:50 PM

The main thing I fly is going to be the Phantom

HPLsCat•2/25/24, 10:50 PM

You get used to it, even on planes that should be center

@adam1220. you in the states or elsewhere. If so, the work is already done with a simfab seat.

Schneeflocke•2/26/24, 11:08 AM

Hi! I'm new and read good reviews about the ffb system

How long is the waiting list right now?
If I choose to assemble a kit myself, how long do I have to wait for the kit to arrive (Germany)? and how complicated is it to assemble?

Hey @Fr4Ged,
So the last Shipped RHINO is #0417 on 2024-02-26
Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 213 days, median is 223 days, max is 433 days
411 Rhinos are shipped in total

Stryker990•2/26/24, 2:33 PM

Afaik the kits are less just assemble them and more u get the motors and the controlboard and the rest u gotta make yourself if u arent a builder just preorder a rhino now and if u dont want it in the end u can always cancel

Fierce_Fire•2/26/24, 2:37 PM

yes, the kits are basically: here are the motors and control board, figure out the power supply, grip interface and gimbal yourself

Fierce_Fire•2/26/24, 2:38 PM

there are some build kits others have made for the diy kits though, often for the 57 motor variant

R7-Cedar•2/26/24, 3:51 PM

Anyone noticed flap setting (Half/Full) offsets rudder spring center to the left for DCS F-18? I'm thinking it's a bug on the DCS, just wonder if anyone else see the same. It could be just me but the FFB value for the rudder from the DCS F-18 feels like it's based only on one side of rudder surface, while it should be the average of both left and right. If it was normal spring rudder pedal it probably wouldn't matter but FFB seems taking hit on this.

Number481•2/26/24, 4:26 PM

telemffb does look only at right rudder since the trim following code is written in a generic way and the right rudder is the only value with data when an aircraft only has one vertical stabilizer. If it averaged both, then for those single rudder aircraft it would only ever be %50 of the actual value.

In order to resolve this on the hornet, it will require special code just for that module to account for the fact that the rudders toe-in with flaps

SShinjo B Anyone know the turnaround time on the motor/pcb kits?

MashedPotato•2/26/24, 4:47 PM

Couple of days usually. The bigger motors were having supply issues though

How are the joysticks connected to the rhino? are they custom built or are it is compatible with ones built by thrustmaster for example

Bob Bushman•2/26/24, 10:09 PM

You mean the grips ?
If so yeah, same connector as the thrustmasters or virpil grips.

MGBDave•2/26/24, 11:22 PM

I just bought the COWS DA-42 for MSFS, but not having any luck at all trying to get the ailerons/elevator axis to be controlled by TelemFFB. It jumps between actual stick position and centered many times per second, as if there is a conflicting input - but I have nothing else assigned to those axis. It works fine in every other plane. Very odd. I don't think they are using a custom simconnect variable, but how could I find out?

Hi guys, I’m currently on the waiting list and with the current numbers it’s looking like I may get invoiced around June / July. Sadly my car has just cost me all my savings, after it broke down. Does anyone know if there is a way I can request my order get delayed until later on In the year, ( October / November ish ) to allow me to save up again?

Duchess ✈•2/27/24, 1:47 AM

Super, super excited to hear the blurb about “FFB” in the latest z Heatblur F-4E video.

R7-Cedar•2/27/24, 3:02 AM

I'll try the special code from Number481. Thanks anyway though!

In DCS how do the settings in the configurator interact with what DCS is giving? Does making changes
