I tried to setup the edge and the extra300 mods in dcs. While not having any problems with other aircraft and dcs helis the joystick does not recenter on both planes. There seems to be no spring force. Any ideas?

Ahhh the Air racers! I love it but sadly no I can’t help ya brother I’m just a low man on the pole I mostly just relay things I read or point folks at links

Touch_Of_Legend•5/12/24, 10:03 AM

You get it figured out let me know I love the Grinnelli air racers!

harryOP•5/12/24, 10:12 AM

@Touch_Of_Legend if I get figured it out I will will post it here. I get all telemffb effects- even the g-effects which can mimic the the spring force but it is not the same.

Those mods don't support FFB so you'll have to set up a configurator profile with 'sticky spring' enabled to get the spring to activate.

To my knowledge, there aren't any mods that do. I believe the FFB is part of the SDK which you don't get access to unless you are a contracted developer, or, no mod developer has ever taken the trouble to do it.

harryOP•5/12/24, 12:58 PM

Thank you, than I will try that. In the new OH-6A mod it works, but probably you or some else has set up the default profile with sticky spring. Have a nice weekend!

Yeah man if you make a profile that works please share it.

I’m probably in the minority here because both irl and in games I never wanted to fly a helicopter.

Just yeah was never my thing but the air racers..

@Touch_Of_Legend spring works now with the sticky spring, but rudder jumps around like crazy in both planes. It does work in all other planes... So I gave up for now.

Do you have FFB pedals set up? What do you mean the rudder jumps around?

harryOP•5/12/24, 3:58 PM

Yes ffb rudder. This happen if I give right rudder from neutral and release it after that.

Number481•5/12/24, 4:25 PM

Turn off the pedal trimming feature in TelemFFB if it’s enabled. I don’t know how or if that will work with mods like that.

Stryker990•5/12/24, 4:56 PM

~~okay now my rhino is dancing left and right in specifically in the DCS Mirage F1 anybody else got this? it didnt do this yesterday~~
problem solved: looks like i accidentally set telemFFB to simulate it as a helicopter :MurmKek:

Number481•5/12/24, 5:17 PM

@harry yeah.. turn off the trim option for the pedals. These mods don't accept input via the export script commands the same way the official modules do.

From the base "PropellerAircraft" profile, I would recommend modifying the G-force effect on the joystick and the pedal spring settings per the screenshots

Unfortunately the flight model is not ready yet. They made the last update in 2021, so I have no hope, that it will be finished soon. I would love to train aerobatics with it....

I/JG7_Moto•5/12/24, 6:40 PM

Re installed IL2 and tried the Rhino, works good and I like the effects, but joystick feels slow like when there is no Telem in DCS, not very natural and slow to react which makes it difficult to be precise, it does get stiff at speed but when I slow down I can feel a sudden change in the stick were the resistance becomes weaker suddenly, no progressively like DSC, any ideas how to make it work better?

Number481•5/12/24, 7:03 PM

Proper simulation of the flight dynamics during aerobatic maneuvers is likely to be extremely difficult and AFAIK, nobody does it very good. MSFS is laughable.

I wonder if anyone else remembers Flight Unilimited from the mid-90s. It was a dedicated aerobatics simulator with an Extra300, Sukhoi, Decathlon, Pitts and a Grob sailplane I believe. As I remember it, the flight model relating to characteristics during and after stall was superior to any sim I've flown since then. Keeping in mind that was 20+ years ago and memory has a way of becoming whatever it wants over time

harryOP•5/12/24, 7:46 PM

I remember flight unlimited. It was fantastic (in my memories) and yes for aerobatics fs2020 is bad. I hope that fs2024 is better. In dcs I think the Christen Eagle and the Albatros are very good. Someone told me the edge 540 is better than the extra and I will try it end of the week. The yak is also good and but sometimes falls in a state similar to the extra today.

teleffb question: not sure how much difference it makes but for the ka-50 do i set the rotor blade count to 3 or 6? i mean it has 3 per rotor but it also has 2 rotors

Number481•5/12/24, 9:07 PM

The only thing the blade count is used for is in the calculation of the frequency for the engine/rotor and ETL/overspeed rumble effects. Doubling the blade count would effectively double the frequency of the effect

Vertigo (VIV)•5/12/24, 9:38 PM

That was by looking glass studios or something right? i seem to recall the splash screen. It was way ahead of its time in graphics too. Anyway, there is one sim that I currently fly that has as good or better flight dynamics, and thats condor. Soaring only though. But especially in VR, its as close to the real thing as you will get without a G forces. The amazing thing is that its developed basically by one guy in his spare time. Dont expect fs2020 graphics, but it looks good enough.

Hey,
I just recently finished my kit-build rhino. I am very happy so far. But I came across a hickup.
I was flying in DCD (Mirage F1) - having a blast with it - and was tabbing back and forth between DCS and the VPcontrol software. Adjusting and testing different gain levels. Everything worked fine and suddenly the stick went all limb and dead (I briefly heard the reconnect chime).
When I looked in the control software, everything was gone. All effects unchecked, all gains zeroed, calibration reset. (Unfortunately I didn't export my settings in a conf file - lessons learned.
So far it was a one off occurrence. Any ideas what happened? Did I just crash the software or could it be some kind of hardware issue? ty

Hiob•5/13/24, 12:06 PM

I might also add, that the stick itself was fine. After I re-applied all my settings from memory (and this time saved a .conf file...), the Rhino worked fine again.

all my extensions for stick are natural aluminum and didnt expect to find an anodized part in black. and since it has exactly the same color as the internal part I thought somethign was missing. A small blade pressure confirmed mer it was indeed aluminium. Your base construction is SUPERB btw. I am really impressed witht he whole quality of the thing. now to install everything and try it.

I restarted PC, now works but no FFB effects
I tried DCS and same , no FFB effects
I loaded the default profile from the VP Force configurator and no luck
disconnected, reconnected and no effects
Reset motors , no luck, seems like Telem wont communicate with the joystick
Any ideas on how to fix it?
