You can try without

walmis•7/1/24, 6:32 PM

Yeah, looks like it's either dead or not making contact

Stryker990OP•7/1/24, 6:35 PM

pretty sure its making good contact i can feel it going into the socket

@walmis I got a question I couldn't answer - the motor drivers are built in the bottom of the motors, correct? Are they thermally connected to the metal cover plate? And what exactly does the temperature read-out in the control software refer to? TY

walmis•7/2/24, 11:31 AM

Yes, the transistors are dissipating into the motor case. The temperature readout is measuring average temperature of the motor case / transistors.

walmis•7/2/24, 12:05 PM

Physically the critical temperature is where the magnets start to demagnetize due to the curie temperature. Currently the software starts to ramp down the max force starting from 55C. It reaches equilibrium somewhere at about 60-65C or so.
P=I^2*R is very much at play here. Every amp adds even more heat to dissipate.

Hiob•7/2/24, 12:13 PM

Do you think the coils are hotter or cooler than the transistors? There's probably no way to measure the inners of the motor directly. Would be nice if we could set a custom fan curve. I would like to have the fans running slowly all the time. But I'm already thinking on adding a custom solution for that.

Hiob•7/2/24, 12:14 PM

That equilibrium is probably with the 80mm stock fan?

walmis•7/2/24, 12:21 PM

Since these motors are inrunners, the coils are directly attached to the case, so it has great heat dissipation. I wouldn't worry much about the coils.
I have custom fan control cooked up for the next release

Hiob•7/2/24, 12:26 PM

EvilTurnip•7/2/24, 6:10 PM

Hello. Who can help me with a quick store support issue?

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:11 PM

question. In msfs my forces seem backwards. When the nose pitches up it should be more difficult to pull aft stick. As stick comes back all the force brings the stick back... so it is wrong

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:16 PM

So with reversing those it works but now when I do nose up trim the stick physically moves forward

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:17 PM

Just not sure where it is reversed and how to fix this

Hiob•7/2/24, 6:25 PM

Are the axis in the control software moving in correct way?

Hiob•7/2/24, 6:25 PM

If not, invert them there, not in the sim.

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:27 PM

yes they are. The big disconnect is between trim being a button and the stick

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:28 PM

I can have forces correct but then trim works right in game but trim force is wrong. If i change the stick force then the forces are backwards but the trim is correct force wise

MMistic yes they are. The big disconnect is between trim being a button and the stick

Number481•7/2/24, 6:42 PM

What aircraft and which sim you are flying is important information. I'll assume DCS. As Hiob said, ensuring the axis view in configurator correctly follows the stick is step 1. In DCS, most aircraft are fine just this way. There are a couple aircraft (the F5 comes to mind) that need to have the FFB inverted on one or more axes in the "FF Tune" options.

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:43 PM

MSFS and T6A. I have had this stick for some time in DCS and enjoyed it alot. But yea using tellem in msfs things are just backwards

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:46 PM

in the VPForce configurator, the stick moves the correct way. In MSFS I have the stick forces correct (though it oscillates even turning down gain and such in configurator) but when I move my nose up trim, the nose does come up but the stick moves forward. I just cant wrap my mind around a way to change the force for that.

Mistic•7/2/24, 6:49 PM

could it be something in the MSFS code or the T6 code? So In sim I just swapped the hat and trim force is still wrong. Anytime nose trims up the stick always moves forward.

Number481•7/2/24, 6:58 PM

if you hold the trim down, does it initially move the wrong direction and then correct itself or does it continue to move in the wrong direction to the trim stop? It's unlikely that the telemetry is backwards from the aircraft (what drives the feature in TelemFFB) but I suppose its possible. It's more likely that the physical/virtual trim setup in TelemFFB needs some tuning for that aircraft. You can read about how the trim following works in the manual here and there is a procedure at the end of that section for setting it up for a new aircraft. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YL5DLkiTxlaNx_zKHEYSs25PjmGtQ6_WZDk58_SGt8Y/edit#heading=h.hio77pvon5m3 @Mistic

Mistic•7/2/24, 7:10 PM

yea it continues to move in the wrong direction.

Mistic•7/2/24, 7:13 PM

so this says to unbind the axis?

Number481•7/2/24, 7:16 PM

Yes, to support autopilot and trim following, TelemFFB must be in control of the axes which means you must un-bind them in the sim or else MSFS and TelemFFB will be fighting with eachother for control of the axis position

Mistic•7/2/24, 7:25 PM

Okay they are unbound in the sim. Now I just have no force on the stick it is odd

Mistic•7/2/24, 7:32 PM

okay yea so I am getting it to work now. Time to tweak this stuff. Seems there is a massive deadzone to the left aileron which is odd

Mistic•7/2/24, 7:55 PM

I appreciate it. Man this is finiky at this point I’m just gonna stop with the rhino in msfs. All it works now but yea the actual accuracy of it in sim is terrible compared to having it bound in sim. So frustrating

MMistic I appreciate it. Man this is finiky at this point I’m just gonna stop with the r...

Number481•7/2/24, 9:12 PM

After a quick scan through the T6A manual, it seems as if it is using an external flight model and control mapping (the latter of which I have never seen before). TelemFFB relies heavily on default Simvar data for its operation. When one-off “outside the norm” aircraft are developed, all bets are off.

The manual explicitly states:

The tablet takes the place of the corresponding default MSFS configuration, control mapping, and failures screens.
The corresponding MSFS options controls are not compatible with the ADV system.

That probably also means that reading/writing the standard simvar stuff will have unpredictable results.

nubbins•7/2/24, 10:57 PM

@walmis sorry for the ping. Do you know what would cause "grindiness" under heavier (50%+) spring force, at the outer edges of Y axis movement? Can it be the belt? With my hand on the belt, the roughness seems to originate there and feel almost like it is slipping teeth slightly. And only happens on the rebound to center, never on the way out; also it is very noticeable on one side of the belt ("upper" side on one side of the motor pulley), never even slightly on the belt on the other side of the pulley.

nubbins•7/3/24, 4:37 AM

I'm thinking it HAS to be belt related from the way it feels/sounds/behaves. Unless it's motor itself (god forbid).

Hiob•7/3/24, 8:25 AM

Apart from checking for any loose parts (pulley, shaft screws, cables) I haven't much ideas right now. How dows it feel, when you loosen the tension on the belt a bit?

Hiob•7/3/24, 8:27 AM

And how does it feel when you reduce the spring gain by 50% (just as a test)

Hiob•7/3/24, 8:28 AM

If the motor was faulty, the gain shouldn't have any influence. I think.
