in that case you could just create a bat file and launch

The VP configurator shows the fault at the bottom right of the window, it displays OK when everything's normal. It'd be useful if you post your settings too.

shagrat•3/3/24, 9:29 AM

Figured it out, I guess, reduced "Spring Gain" to 95% and for whatever reason, "Spring strength proportional Dampening" in the Expert Settings was at 100% (I reduced it to default 25% and upped it to 40% now).
With these settings (see screenshots), it didn't happen anymore.

hi, why is it recommended to have the center value to 2048? What it does if it is not at 2048?

harf4ng•3/3/24, 11:44 AM

My axis are like that

hi there,
does TelemFFB have an autostart function or something else? Or a autostart with DCS?

Bob Bushman•3/3/24, 6:30 PM

For it to do something like that I imagine it would need to have a running background service.

I think you can use the skatezilla launcher utility to start it an other software needed, granted I haven't actually used it for that yet myself.

DonHo•3/3/24, 9:47 PM

Good Day, I recently purchased a two-motor DIY kit and have somehow managed to misplace the motor wires. I would be grateful to know if these are standard wires and, if so, where they could be purchased here in North America. Alternatively, if those can be purchased individually from VPForce that would be great. Thank you.

Hammer•3/4/24, 3:10 PM

@walmis quick question, I bought the motor kit from you and made a diy stick from @Subsonic (Protomaker). I've only flown the f-14 in dcs with it and I get a random trim activation either left or right all the way (phantom button activation constant press) sporadically. After a few seconds of fighting it, it goes back to normal. All the wires are good, and settings are fine. Is there a way to refresh the firmware, and reset the motors learned value? This is the only thing I can think is causing an issue, thanks for the help.

Firaga•3/4/24, 8:51 PM

@walmis : Not sure if this is reported already but this issue was today replicated with two Rhino users. A-10C (and apparently also F-5) the DCS in-game control indicator range is shorter in fwd direction compared to aft (picture 1). As a consequence, Rhino is considering the neutral position to be this much fwd. Forces seem to be quite ok but the neutral position is very awkward (picture 2). The correct behavior would be that the Rhino is physically centered in neutral position and allows full aft deflection but with limited (or scaled) fwd deflection. Can we expect a fix for this or any tips for temporary workarounds? Would not want to edit the global profile as this problem exists only for certain modules.

If Rhino is here working as intended, did you find any workaround for this issue from dcs side? A-10C does not have those trimmer options in special options tab like F-5.

Hi, I’m getting the VPForce set up for the first test in MSFS and I get a left aileron deflection every few seconds whenever the stick is full forward or full aft. Any ideas what the problem would be?

Are there any profiles that are a good starting point for msfs and dcs?

Axes should not be bound in msfs- telemFFB handles it. (Get the wip version)

This works. Thanks a lot! Would be nice if the configurator detected the module the same way as TelemFFB. However, can live with this just fine.

Lei•3/5/24, 10:32 AM

I encountered a strange issue with MSFS (everything works in DCS): the stick lost all the spring/damping force as soon as I launch TalemFFB. It seems the TalemFFB effect is still on but the configurator shows USB disconnected. If I close the TalemFFB then the stick springs back to center again and can be trimmed as well.

Number481•3/5/24, 12:14 PM

what the spring does when you connect TelemFFB to MSFS depends on a great many things. Including:

What type of aircraft is loaded
Whether you are paused/slew mode, in the hangar, or in an active flight and how the pause spring is configured in TelemFFB
Depending on the type of aircraft, whether you are cold and dark, idling on the ground or flying

Under no circumstances will it cause the USB to disconnect however. Unless you are accidentally pushing a configurator profile which changes the USB ID of the device (but that doesn't sound like what is happening).

Lei•3/5/24, 12:34 PM

it happened mid flight, when i realize i forgot to launch TelemFFB, so i pause the game, launch TelemFFB, unpause game, all spring force is gone, close TelemFFB in the same flight, spring force is back. Had this issue a few times but will try to reproduce it.

walmis•3/5/24, 12:43 PM

If you're using the Hardware trim feature, then it won't work if the spring force is controlled by the application

walmis•3/5/24, 12:43 PM

You would need to setup force trim in telemFFB itself

Lei•3/5/24, 12:47 PM

Thx! got it, works now with Forcetrim on in telemFFB. Do i keep the hardware force trim on in configurator? but override trim off? Must admit this bit is still a bit confusing

smitty•3/5/24, 12:49 PM

hardware trim off. btw for "realism", the B206 doesnt have force trim . ive been told it feels like a 70s car power steering, very loose but stays where you put it

Lei•3/5/24, 12:58 PM

is there any point of turn on hardware trim in the configurator then? or its better just to do it in Telem in general?

smitty•3/5/24, 1:03 PM

it's for games not controlled by telemffb, so you could set up any generic game to have the function. everything on the effects tab is for "when telemffb is not running"

walmis•3/5/24, 1:53 PM

I might add, not only telemFFB but any native FFB supported game, such as DCS

not everything. The axis scaling or balance spring works even with telemffb and regardless of the sim. Endstops too. I think the effects that are overwritten by the sim or telemffb are those who have the "sticky" option, of course when this option is off
