The balance spring is constant and persistent and will help offset the imbalance caused by a heavy grip and/or offset extension, but it will only get you close. Once you have balance spring set so that the stick more or less stays where you put it with all other effects disabled, then enabling Adaptive Recentering will nicely keep the stick centered regardless of where the actual center point is placed via force trim.
Adaptive recentering will do it on its own, but it is best to negate most of the work it needs to do by setting up Balance Spring first.
With my heavy Alpha Prime grip, I have run both the 200mm offset and the z-extension. With the above configured, I have zero issues with the stick maintaining center in any position.
This is ok because for the F-16 you make spring sticky and override the DCS Spring. So it wonβt mess it up. When using DCS spring itβs a different story.
I just use virtual endstops and axis scaling at about 20%, makes it sensitive and snippy with no dead zone.
I'd go lower, but below that banking would trip my y axis motor, I assume as going so quickly between max force near the end to 0 at center gives it the heebyjeebies.
I really wish we had the ability to change the amount of force in adaptive centering. Right now I think itβs 12 or 14%. I wish we had the ability to put it up to say 50% or whatever would be safe.
I see the two PSUs you listed use 5.5x2.5mm cable connectors. Protomaker's parts list in the pdf assembly instructions show 5.5x2.1mm for the socket part, but I can't find any common laptop PSUs that use that size. So now I'm confused as to what is the actual standard people are using, if you have some advice on that. I guess they're close to each other, but I'd still hate to risk a poor electrical connection even if they do physically fit.
5.5x2.5 plug on 5.5x2.1 socket will fit but you also will get intermittent conection as soon as you move the wire just a little. I ended changing the PSU plug to 5.5x2.1
I kind of got interested in the seatbelt tensioner systems, but the all seem to be immensely expensive. Are there cheaper ghetto versions out there at all?
Another potential problem with DIY kits is payment method. If it's a Paypal "friends" workaround instead of a straight up business to customer transaction a credit card issuer might decline the transaction.
howdy everyone, had a look around but I cant find anything. I'd like to run my rhino inverted, that is flipped with the controls facing forward and the plugs facing me, so i can slide my seat closer to it. I can't be the first guy to do this... is there a tutorial anywhere for this? I didnt see it in the manual either
