yeah, i'm 99% sure it's a software thing around how it blends the forces when it hits the max level, it doesn't so much feel like something is popping out or skipping, but moreso like the resistance force changes
here's a video that shows things a bit better, it does appear to reduce the effect a bit if i reduce max motor current, but doesn't completely get rid of it. another interesting thing i notice in the vpforce ui, is the pink arrow seems to jitter around where that point is that i feel the effect
Your Ibus is maxing out at "max PSU current". I think if you increase that to 8 or 9 you will notice the flat spot in the force later into the pull.. However, I dont know what the safe max for that value is so I'd clear it with walmis first
Yes. At 30/7 (motor/psu) I feel the force max out around %80-90 of travel and you can see the red force arrow fluctuating as it is bouncing off one or both of those values.
My normal profile is 28/9 (my psu is rated for 9.5A so I guess thats OK ). I guess I do still feel a bit of a flattening at the extremes, but its actually hitting against curr_ycurr_y which seems to map to the motor current@ 28A
the one it shipped with (19v 9.5A). My pedals PSU is 24V 10A.. wonder if it would feel any different with that PSU vs the standard one? How that all calculates out is beyond my electrical knowledge
I guess I've always felt the force flatten out at the extremities with high gain, but I guess its just never bothered me. With the type of flying I normally do, I almost never reach full excursion of the controls.
i can't seem to completely get rid of it. At PSU=9... with Motor=29, it hits the motor max first, with Motor=30, it hits PSU max.. maybe if there was more granularity to the motor current value you could tune it so they peak at the same time...
Speculation is fun when the smart guy (walmis) is sleeping
haha -- so yeah, when flying helicopters and stuff, i never notice it because to your point, never at full limits with full spring force. I do notice it in the F14 a bunch because they do something where the spring forces are stronger than the default ones we have in configurator, so i def notice it a lot more there
30/9 feels pretty good to me. Not perfect, but better... but I don't know if I'm playing with fire (literally). Dropping the gain down to even %95 though seems to remove the flat spot completely and I honestly can't feel a difference in the max force applied.. just that its reached smoothly at full deflection instead of right before it.
yeah -- i did try messing with the max gain a bit, which did seem to help a bit, but yeah, hopefully there's some sort of firmware cleverness there that can negate any need for stuff like this (since i think ultimately in game forces can end up applying differently and still cause the issues -- i.e. the F14)
I think the main problem here is that the gains are just too high. Reduce the spring gain by 5 or so and donβt hit the maximums anymoreβ¦.. (or use a bigger PSU )
when i plug in my motors to the power and usb there is a greenish yellow light and it ocassionally flashes red they seem to be working but is this a problem
It flashes red when there's an operational fault, fault code is displayed in the bottom of the configurator app. Motor(s) needs to be reset to clear the fault from the "Debug" tab or a power reset.
Force saturation is perfectly normal, for example we will soon have the ability to have very stiff centering (spring at >100%) at the cost of force saturation when outside the motor operating envelope. In theory you can set the PSU limit to the rated PSU current, but if the PSU shutdowns during rapid movements decrease it a bit
not sure i totally follow with regard too force saturation -- is that what you're saying happens when i feel that change towards the edge of the movement limits?
@Oneill what help do you need Iβm not anywhere near wales as in scotland and just built my own rhino the setup is relatively easy if you follow the manual to the letter
Iβm completely hopeless with anything to do PC wise. Iβve got the best set up I could afford and I canβt seem to get it right, Iβve set the stick up but thereβs no feedback plus when I turn or put any input in, it just stays on that input until it crashes. Iβve spent about 12 k on so far . Just need someone to sort it for me, I was hoping it was plug and play. I donβt have any use for a PC other than this sim, all my stuff for work is on tablets or my diagnostic stuff.
Msfs 2020. Iβve got it running but the display is terrible and I canβt get the stick settings right. Itβs a AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Graphics
32GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB SSD (M.2 NVMe)
240mm AIO Liquid Cooler, 2x 200mm ARGB Fans. I did have a friend to set it up but heβs not been on for a while. If you could just get the stick working for me Iβll pay for your time.
Yes, the display on the vr is blurry, Iβve tried different settings. Thatβs not the problem, setting up the stick I bought from you is. Like I said Iβm useless with PCβs, Iβm a mechanic so Iβve never really used them.
Itβs a PICO 4, used to be fine but after the pc did an update for msfs 2020 itβs all gone to shit, canβt see the runway lines until you are almost on top of it.
Yes buddy, im absolutely hopeless with computers. Iβm a mechanic plus Iβm halfway through my pilots licence . But this f ing computer shit drives me crazy
that's all good m8. I might not be around by then . Feel free to hit me up when you see me online tomorrow or whenever. I'll be happy to try help out if I can m8. Goodluck in the mean time.
