i am really struggling to get the DIY build working, from a software standpoint , i posted about IL2 but disregard that as it may be an excess controller issue that i need to delve into further. I thought i would try DCS , so i v red then reread the manual , i m just looking for simple FFB and axis assigment to prove my stick works . Whree i ve got to
1 In VPC i ve set up a spring , tried end stops and damper, i m getting readouts on all parameters from the right hand side display, X through to Vbus all show dynaimc returns based on stick movement . Bottom right shows Motro X and Y and USB as OK asnd connected . Device Firmware reads 1.0.16 and debug shows i can save and write serttings to memory . The stick feels limp , no real force needed to move it , which is sort of confimed on the X and Y currents which as pulling <0.5 amp . I assume all this is normal
2 Telem FFB (now using latrest WIP version) , ive selected DCS in the Sim setting section , and i get a yellow pause "Sim enabled waiting for data , i launch DCS from Steam , selected multithread, go to settings FFB is enabled , but yellow box does not change
