I love my Rhino, but in DCS when flying A-10CII it reacts weird. In normal flight it pulls upwards all the time. At full speed I have to trim down at maximum. I don't have this in F/A-18C & F-16C. With the Virpil Base it is working fine. I know it is intended to have this forward offset. But this trim issue makes the combination of Rhino + A-10CII unuseable. Can I change the behaviour somehow?
There seems to be a strange interaction between the axis curve setting in DCS and force feedback. If I set the curve setting of the axes on the A-10C in DCS to 0, it will no longer pull upwards. I usually fly with a curvature of 20 - 25, which helps a lot for Air to Air refueling. I had a very similar effect in the KA50 when trimming. It always seems to occur when the axis is shifted in the neutral position.
@Hiob i've intentionally set my Y axis belt tension almost as low as it can go (motor closer to pulley) without losing grip. It does help make the grinding less noticeable at the grip, but at the belt it is about the same and belt tension cannot solve the issue completely.
I think you want to have all your Rhinos axis curves at zero in DCS. Adjustments should be made in the Rhino software. Any adjustments in DCS will mess with the FFB.
unless it's to say that vpforce motors are not capable of running up to even 60% of max spring force. Which I somehow feel isn't the case, judging from what others are running here
optimism is pretty much all I have at this point. I can't keep sinking time and money into this thing if there aren't even potential solutions I can pursue
Most likely the WarBrd grip plug pin(s) doesn't reach and make contact in the Rhino socket, have you pushed all the way in? Let me know if this persists, I can send you a replacement socket.
i don't have spray, but I have some superlube. Should I try putting a little on? But I thought the belt was not supposed to slip on the pulley, would that not exacerbate it
You can also move the center point by altering the calibration values. I don't know what exactly you want to achieve, but I'm confident that it can somehow be achieved with the configurator.
that is the idea, but I'm not sure where I would go from there. To a different tooth # motor pulley? I'm just following what @Subsonic (Protomaker) 's guide prescribes. afaik no one else following that guide has dealt with this before. The other gimbal creaking type issues I can find plenty of troubleshooting solutions for, but not this belt issue
might be gimbal related as well since I know this one is particularly bad and it's going to be rebuilt with some new parts next week. Might not be out of the question that vibrations are starting inside and traveling out to the belt via 74t pulley
Sorry, if this is a dumb question, or was answered earlier - are you 100% positive that you have the right belt and pulley specs? regarding tooth profile and so on?
