Question for those who fly DCS helicopters with the Rhino. I have been flying around in the Blackhaw

Question for those who fly DCS helicopters with the Rhino. I have been flying around in the Blackhawk and was trying to figure out how to get the stick to remain in the trimmed position. I depress Force Trim while flying and the helicopter maintains train but the stick recenters. I am sure that I am missing something but can't seem to locate it. Is there a setting in the special settings for the Blackhawk and what about the FFB software for the Rhino? Thanks in advance!

Run TelemFFB. Link is right above your message.

Vette•3/21/24, 10:32 PM

Since I am not 100% sure about the process. Once I put in my preorder am I supposed to get an order form to fill out right away or not until my number comes up?

I’ve never tried the Blackhawk mod…I’m not sure if it supports FFB or not. (Many community mods don’t) Others may know better. You may have to use the hardware force trim option in the configurator software.

TelemFFB won’t do anything here since the actual axis FFB is native to DCS.

Thanks! If I use an official module such as the Huey or Apache, this all should work I assume. I do use Telem FFB but as you mentioned, it doesn’t do anything for the trim. I will play around with the configurator software as well.

yeah, for the official modules, you should only need to configure the trim release binding (in dcs) and then make sure the special settings are correct (should be "default" or "instant" for any module).

It's easier to grill through plastic than steel, the only downside is that you needed a lot more of volume

jusche89•3/22/24, 12:30 PM

Received my Rhino last week and it is just stunning! Will start fine tuning now. Just one question: which part of the aircraft.cfg do i have to call TelemFFB profiles, to be correctly recognized?

a bit of a necro but thanks so much for sharing, I was just looking for this! my Rhino is on the way, trying to get all the configs prepared

Red Magic•3/22/24, 2:02 PM

When setting up trim binds for the Apache, are you supposed to dual bind your force trim button between Telem and DCS, so they use the same button

Asdforce•3/22/24, 2:06 PM

Shouldn't need to. Dcs apache does force trim + ffb natively. Rhino's own force trim function is for sims/modules that don't do it correctly.

Number481•3/22/24, 2:11 PM

I'll assume you mean for MSFS since thats the only one I know that has aircraft.cfg.

TelemFFB gets the name from simconnect, which I believe uses the "Title" that is in the aircraft.cfg file. Make sure you're using the WIP version of TelemFFB (pinned in #VPforce-TelemFFB). If you load an aircraft that does not have a profile, you will see a big purple button you can click to create a new profile: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YL5DLkiTxlaNx_zKHEYSs25PjmGtQ6_WZDk58_SGt8Y/edit#heading=h.z3ihipnpx839

Number481•3/22/24, 2:13 PM

There's no trim button setting in TelemFFB for DCS since that is handled natively by the sim. As Adsforce pointed out, the hardware trim in configurator is meant for use with sims that don't have such functionality and/or aren't handled by TelemFFB

jusche89•3/22/24, 2:57 PM

Thanks a lot! Haven't been using the WIP version before - makes things much more comfortable to adjust! Is there any way to find specific values for the Trim Gain Physical setting for individual aircraft types?

NNumber481 I would say not. Simply because there are so many other errors in that file. T...

Dr. No•3/22/24, 3:49 PM

Yes and it works!
You just have to manually setup the effects with his code. I wanted to add something to merge this to the telemffb but im not a dev for Elite Dangerous.

SStains Ran memtest86 and it was indeed a RAM issue. Thanks for looking at that log!

Number481•3/22/24, 3:55 PM

good find! was it failing hardware or a bad memory OC?

Stains•3/22/24, 3:59 PM

No OC applied for this test, so I'm thinking failing hardware. I suppose I need to narrow it down to a known good stick and test every slot to make sure I don't have a motherboard problem.

Spelljammer1•3/22/24, 4:34 PM

So neat! And thanks for your posts here about it. Do you happen to still have your file where you have set up effects?

Red Magic•3/22/24, 5:12 PM

FFBeast just popped onto my radar. Thoughts?

Red Magic•3/22/24, 5:13 PM

Looking at the spec list, the main things that stuck out to me was a higher peak torque, by quite a bit. But more expensive as well, starting at 900 EU

Fr4Ged•3/22/24, 5:46 PM

Rhino already feels like wrestling. no need for more.

"Forcefeed Beast"? that sounds like a farm thing

I'm sure someone is going to keep making beefier and beefier units until someone literally breaks and arm.

Red Magic•3/22/24, 7:05 PM

Considering my 3rd most flown module is the bf109, and it was notorious for requiring excess of 60lbs of pull lol

Fr4Ged•3/22/24, 7:17 PM

sounds like a workout

Number481•3/22/24, 7:26 PM

sounds like you'd need a concrete subfloor and 1/2" lag bolts to secure the damn thing to the ground. Maybe when Gorilla Wrestling 2025 comes out and I want my arms ripped of "for realism".. I'll consider needing those forces.

long delivery times.

Fr4Ged•3/22/24, 10:24 PM

So I guess to be able to change the settings in TelemFFB I need to use the WiP version, right?

Number481•3/22/24, 10:42 PM

Need? No.

Want? Probably.
The old version is pretty cumbersome

Bob Bushman•3/22/24, 10:46 PM

'Stable' version of telem ffb compared to the wip is like 1982 flightsim vs msfs 2020.

Bob Bushman•3/22/24, 10:47 PM

Admittedly hyperbolic but the differences are huge.
