Rhave any of you read the flight manual? The F4 had some kind of syntehtic feedback built in didn't it?
BWell as it stands right now, any gust of wind, turbulence etc of any level would have knock the stick into full roll deflection at any speed.
Sounds rather unsafe to me.

Atry increasing the FFB gains in the special menu, should give you firmer feel
DI got a new adapter printed, and broke the pin guard around the joystick plugin. The new offset adapter file is either wrong or the 3D shop did not do a good job of printing it.
SDoes anyone have some good settings in the ffb configurator for DCS? I accidentally reset my FFB configurator and now my Phantom feels super light. Still getting feedback it just is now, even fully turned up, light as a feather
BThe f4 is having issues, best guess so far but haven't tested yet myself is to increase ffb gain in the special menu to 200% for roll and pitch.
Aelevator is essentially limp until you have some airspeed
BTesting now and adjusting gain in the dxs menu helps immensely
MI've been using the Navigraph VR interface in MSFS since buying Beyond ATC, and I've noticed a strange interaction with TelemFFB. For some Navigraph interactions, such as selecting an approach or arrival to see the chart on the map, when it loads it seems to momentarily interrupt the FFB for about a second. I'm not sure if that's a sim connect issue or something else. Does anyone else have the same issue?
DI adjust it to 200% in both pitch and roll, it is feeling better. Still feels a little off though.
HHow difficult is the Rhino to DIY if you buy the DIY kit?
Ni really want one, but after scouring diy channel i've only seen one diy that can fit it, and it appears to be a custom metal gimbal
BNot sure what you refer to there.
That piece there is simply the same metallic variant for the same 3d printed mount on the stock rhino.

BAnd when I start making sentences like that, it's time for bed :S
Nafaik none of the 3 diy guides look like they can use it, the whole throttle connector is 1 piece down to the gimbal
CWhat ratio do you have between Spring/Damper/Inertia etc in VPforce Configurator?
AStarted a thread in the heatblur server about force feedback if anyone else is interested in following along or adding context: https://discord.com/channels/1071433028045377637/1243043128693362688
MAnyone have work around settings to smooth it out in the F-4? I set to 200%, but it felt terrible, and the trim seemed crazy skewed forward, like at no point was I flying in a comfortable position without extreme nose up attitude
KSame, still searching
KI can't see it, link is not working. Can you guide me where it is?
AKI'm already on Heatblur discord. Just your thread is not showing up
SThat may be by design, to a point. The bellows-and-bob-weight artificial feel system does rely on airspeed
SThere is a FFB thread on F-4 dcs forums now, please contribute https://forum.dcs.world/topic/349303-ffb-force-on-x-axis-much-weaker-than-on-y-axis/

RHINO #0547 Has Shipped!MSee there is a lot of discussion around this already - does anyone have any General tips about how to set the rhino up with basic functionality to work with the f4? (So far tried to use the f14 profile within Telem as the base to tweak and the rhino/FFB still feels a bit weird)
Again and spring at 100%, damper 16%, periodic 60%, constant 100%
P5 shipped! 
DThank you sir! o7
SDoes dcs modules automatically override spring and damper forces? Or do o have to manually adjust them in the vpf software? Like to get as close to the real life F-14 stick as possible, what settings would y’all recommend?
SI have the same issue in the F-14. Is there any fix?
Athe settings in settings pretty much determine what is for example the maximum spring force available to the game
Ain the effects tab you can set effects to be "sticky" in which case they override the game
NDCS generally doesn't do anything with Damper/Friction/Inertia/Constant. Only Spring and, in some cases Periodic.
So to your question, those types of effects will generally stay at whatever you have them set for in configurator.

AWhat's the estimate cost of the cheapest DYI full build?
AAnd is it decently easy to do for someone who's never 3d printed anything before?
I'm decently technical as a sw. dev., but never did any tinkering like this before

SThanks for the explanation. So just because my spring setting is set to 100% it doesn’t mean it will BE at 100% all the time right? It’s more of a cap?
NYeah, its best to think of all the places you can set a value for an effect as a series of factors. Its
Effects Tab Settings Settings Tab SliderFFB Commanded Percentage
Nso if a module said "give me %50 spring", and you had your spring effect set up at %50 in configurator, it would result in %25 of the actual maximum force the joystick could provide
SAaah okok that clarifies things up. So that being said though, I have spring set to 100%. In the F-14 I feel 100% spring force at all times. This feels incorrect. Sticky setting is not checked. Is there something els that may be off? I fell shake when buffeting so I know DCS is talking to the base.
A3D printing really has a steep learning curve particularly if you get one of the cheaper printers. It will be very frustrating at times, it all comes down to very tight settings and tolerances. You can get around that by spending 800 dollars on a printer with all the bells and whistles, they require less manual setup. But that is also what the joystick costs. If you decide not to print yourself, it is probably just as economical to buy a manufactured one from VPForce.
AAnd what would it look like if I were let's say printing in some 3d printer shop? Would it get expensive?
NAFAIK, the F14 does not model any dynamic forces? I don't really fly it (Im one of those "bought it on sale but never found the time to really use it" people 
)
)AI would only do that for stuff you can't buy. So then I would get the ready made rhino. You can get all the files and upload them here to get a cost estimate: https://jlc3dp.com/
