@walmis my reservation ticket has been called, but unfortunately I can't proceed at this time due to other factors, but I have another party interested in taking my slot. Can I just give them the Order Request form and change the contact details?

hey guys when running il2 what % should I set the constant & periodic effects too in config app? I have them both at 50% for dcs atm

Number481•8/30/24, 11:51 AM

For the TelemFFB effects, its all still based around %50 for periodic and %100 for constant. However, unless its changed recently, the native effects for buffeting, runway rumble and weapons are extremely anemic and lead to very little feedback which is why there are duplicate effects written in TelemFFB.

yea but in a dogfight you are putting constant force on the stick

Matei•8/30/24, 3:00 PM

and I was wondering about the amperage

MMatei and I was wondering about the amperage

Hiob•8/30/24, 4:25 PM

Depends on your settings. The motors can pull up to 30 amps (rated 36 amps, but some safety margin is good advise). They heat up rather quickly (1K every other second or so under full load) until the fan kicks in and slows down the heat buildup. (Or stops it depending on the FAN and the amount of amps pulled).

Hiob•8/30/24, 4:25 PM

Don’t confuse the motor amps with the amps drawn from the PSU though. They are not the same.

Hi my vpforce seems to be loose. I’ve confirmed that this sound is the vpforce and not the stick. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Unscrew the dust cover, tighten all the screws etc that you can see without taking it apart.

Hiob•8/31/24, 7:00 AM

Annoying micro movements or sounds that I found (and fixed) so far was: Loose screws on the stick extension, wide tolerances at the stick connector which I fixed with some tape and loctide, a crappy shaft connector on my TM grip which I fixed with some 3D printed wedges and last but not least, a loose pulley on the motor side, which needed some loctide for the screw.

Hiob•8/31/24, 7:03 AM

see if you can stop or produce the sound by moving the belt pulleys by hand (with and without holding tight on the stick). Before you open the Rhino check that the small pulleys sit tight on the motoraxis‘ without play,

that Picture was without washer, my washer was to thick, so after installing the other sides had the level difference

have you tried changing the settings as in getting rid of inertia and friction for example?

Hiob•8/31/24, 1:47 PM

As I said previously. Spring setting 100%, coupled with those high settings for friction and damping etc. will most likely hit the max amp treshold. Would be interesting what the curr x and curr y values look like just before the cutoff.

I have trouble with the configurator tool. It does not recognize the device. Every other software is kind of working, but not FFB Configurator. I have removed and/or uninstalled the devicee from device manager several times. I tried on all 6 USB ports the Computer has and also with and without usage of a powered USB Hub. Did a couple of cold boots also. Nothing helps. No I'm out of ideas somehow. On my laptop the joystick is working smothely.

SR-F Bullfrog | Gerald•8/31/24, 5:03 PM

OK - issue found: I'm using a HF8 buttkicker from Next Level Racing. As soon as I disconnected her every thing starts working smothely... Seems like they are using a similar USB controller.

just as an fyi, got my winwing adaptor back and my 8 way hat works fine and is seens as an 8 way hat, without making any changes to the settings…..perhaps I just got lucky

other hats are buttons but thats fine too, of course

Henning Piez•8/31/24, 7:26 PM

Simhub too scans com ports and make any other com based parts broken.

Henning Piez•8/31/24, 7:27 PM

You need to define which COM ports shouldn’t be scanned

Hiob•9/1/24, 6:15 AM

I would assume, either the cable (to the grip connector) broke, or more likely, the cable detached from the socket-mini pcb that is inside the stick connector. I would dismount the grip (+ extensions). Then you can unscrew the socket inside the grip connector and take it out. On the backside there is a cable plugged in (or isn’t anymore). You can just pull out the cable with a pair of pliers and plug it back in.

Unless somebody else has a better idea that is!

walmis•9/1/24, 7:12 AM

Yeah, good call @Hiob, I'd check the the stick connector, maybe the mini socket has disconnected. I'd also lift the leather holder frame, since it's easier to feed the cable into the tube.

rDk•9/1/24, 10:35 AM

indeed good call... the cable from the mini socket was obstructed so the tension slowly made it disconnect. I pulled on the cable thinking there would be a few cm extra for good mesure and applied pressure on the connector.. next thing you know the inputs started getting detected again. Thanks for the support.

Ah ok is there a way to adjust that? I’m in DCS. Feel like I’m flying with a very constant back pressure even when I try and trim it out.

Greekbull•9/2/24, 5:50 AM

This is in the F4 btw

Greekbull•9/2/24, 5:58 AM

Also, DCS was not like this before today. It was perfectly centered. I used a AH-64 profile in here which really seems to fly nicely in the Apache. But after going back to any of my fast jet profiles the trim center is off in the stick forward orientation

Hiob•9/2/24, 8:24 AM

Are we talking woth this offset trim while DCS is running or not? I'm a bit confused. When you want to calibrate the hardware, neither DCS or TelemFFB should be running. Just the configurator. From there, after calibrating -> applying -> saving, the stick should be perfectly centered.
