@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?

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.

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

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

harf4ng•3/5/24, 4:35 PM

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

Hello all. I have just started testing and configuring my DIY buikld cyclic for Mi-24 DCS helicopter. I am struggling to understand the Trimming setup.
I expect the Trim button when depressed to make the cyclic go loose, and allow for repositioning to a "new centre", which will be offset from true centre. However, the spring effect simply pushes the stick back to true centre. Settings below.

[

[BSD] Molevich•3/6/24, 10:31 AM

I dont yet have hardware Trim button activated, so maybe thats why? Using keyboard T.

walmis•3/6/24, 10:34 AM

You have trim override enabled - this will take away trim control from DCS

walmis•3/6/24, 10:34 AM

If you use DCS FFB trim, disable the hardware trim feature

Thank you @walmis ! I am absolutely loving the VPForce product, and here is a pic of my cyclic so far.

Flynn (Phil)•3/6/24, 11:25 AM

Hi all, I have just installed my Rhino, and am struggling to set it up for DCS.

So, I have a Virpil Z-Extension, oriented to the rear, as per the photo, and I have installed hard-stops, but instead of fore-aft symmetrical, they are 8 degrees forward, and 14 degrees aft. This, with the z-ext, gives me an appropriate throw, but angled slightly to the rear.

I've successfully autocalibrated using the configurator, but once I run DCS, the weight of the stick pulls the centrepoint back a little, so that at rest, the stick is effectively trimmed nose-up.

Is there any way to make the stick rest at the center point, compensating for the slightly asymmetrical stick weight?

Thanks in advance...

Phil

Glaive(Rikk)•3/6/24, 11:27 AM

I use the static force in effects to "trim" that out

harf4ng•3/6/24, 11:39 AM

In fact the correct way is to use the "balance spring" feature, if you put your mouse over the feature it says it adds a force to counteract grip weight. This is exactly what you need. Moreover it is a very useful feature as you can add force left, right, top, bottom.
The best way to setup it is to launch dcs with the huey for instance, as it has the force trim (if you do not have it you can enable hardware force trim for testing purpose), then you use for trim at different points, top left, top right, and so on, you see where the circle is and where the blue point is, and you add force so the blue point stays in circle.

FFlynn (Phil)So simple. Many thanks.

harf4ng•3/6/24, 11:43 AM

Look what my settings are, I have the same setup as you, a Z extension on the base. Not the same grip I think though, so you will need to adjust the numbers.

Stryker990•3/6/24, 11:01 PM

While of course not rocket science i assume, looking at all those options i think for a while ill miss the ease of install of a non ffb cam stick base

Some servers have player export turned off. It is an anti cheat issue. It isn't necessary to address to address cheating, if you are friendly with the admins you could suggest they enable only that option or find other servers to play on.
