I'm looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the scanner I'm using shi*ts the bed when creating a point cloud of the scan right now. Soo pissed at Einstar over that.
Nice job homie. Will give it a go. I run with all of my master gains at 100% and have the effects tab adjusted for a specific feel. I don’t use separate airframe profiles. Only click force trim override when I wanna use in game vs vpforce.
@walmis I encountered the following issue with VP control software. To increase the centering precision I steepend the spring force curve around the middle position. which worked well. However, whenever TelemFFB loads this profile, the curve gets messed up (basically it is deleted beyond the first custom set point). Is this a TelemFFB problem or a VP control problem? (Or a me-problem?)
Sure, I will try to reproduce the issue and send you the file. To elaborate a bit further - I created a "detent" around the middle position by implementing a small spike in the spring curve. Worked like a charm when testing dry, but once the game started and the profile was loaded, it "blocked" the pedals to one side and when looking at the custom curve in VP control, it was messed up. Reseting it solves the issue for the session, but of course, the custom detent is gone. (I was using this for helicopters - the idea was to feel the middle position of the pedals, even though they are without spring forces otherwise)
Sounds like you confirmed the profile did not push correctly, which is wierd since pushing from TelemFFB should be the same as loading a profile using the import button in configurator...
But.. don't forget that TelemFFB by default sets the spring to 0 with an override (which will also override any "sticky" you have in configurator). So unless you set the pedal spring mode to "Static" and set the gain in TelemFFB, you will never feel any spring.
I know. The issue was, that the pedals didn't went limb when it happened, but stiff (only on one side) and either way it shouldn't alter the gain curve in the vpconf, no? I assume the issue occured due to my messing with the curve, but it's beyond my capabilities to pinpoint the reason. Probably some "division by zero" problem, I created....
@walmis I was at the FSExpo in Las Vegas (a.k.a. Sin City) over the weekend. Virpil has a new grip that I'm quite excited about -- the FLNKR. There's nothing on the web about it yet that I can find, but it is part of a new "Expert Series" product line. Its body and trigger are metal, and it has a new hat design. One of my peeves about the Alpha and Alpha Prime Virpil grips that I had, but sold, is that I found it very difficult to press down on a hat without also actuating one of the other switches on the hat (L/R/U/D). The new hat locks into its center when slightly pressed down, which prevents that -- very clever. The grip feels great (it is pretty large though) and I was told that it's a replica of the grip that's in some Su jets.
I forgot to ask how much it will cost, but I'm not sure they would've told me. No release date yet.
I mention it only b/c I want to get it on your long-range A-A radar in terms of button/hat support on the Rhino. I will be holding off on buying the grip until that support is in place... It's shown in the product catalog I got at the show. EDIT: I just found some images of some of the new products: https://imgur.com/a/virpil-fsexpo-2024-hardware-pics-1Mq6as9
They also have a new Cadet grip that's coming out, and (not that it matters here) a new Expert Series "VMax Prime" throttle.
I know I read it somewhere but cant find it atm. VKB sticks, I need the blackbox to read the stick buttons, I guess I also need a longer cable and the final question the connector? What exactly is needed?
Will do when its time for the making of the actual order itself, forgot to do it on the preorder thingy. I am still quite a long way off but VKB is now in stock
