GreekbullOP•9/2/24, 5:48 AM

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.

GreekbullOP•9/2/24, 5:50 AM

This is in the F4 btw

GreekbullOP•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

Depends on the aircraft and special settings in DCS... A-10C, F-5 modules have trim displacement forwards for example.

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.

Hiob•9/2/24, 8:25 AM

Then - inside DCS, it depends very much on the airframe. Most old school jets have the stick trimmed forward for level flight at cruising+ speeds. That's normal. Same for Helicopters of course.

Hiob•9/2/24, 8:27 AM

Maybe you confuse the old "non-FFB" return to center trim in the sim, but that was only a work-around for spring centered, non-FFB-Joysticks.

Hiob•9/2/24, 8:30 AM

Basically, for classic joysticks, the logical (simulated) stick position was detached from the physical stick position. That being no longer necessary is one of the perks of FFB sticks.

Henning Piez•9/2/24, 9:41 AM

what does "FBB_Remove Effect" Mean in the Debug Screen?

walmis•9/2/24, 9:45 AM

It's when a game or telemFFB destroys an FFB effect

Henning Piez•9/2/24, 11:03 AM

so no reason to worry of to trobleshoot?

TheAmazinGreat•9/2/24, 11:31 AM

It’s modeling real life behavior of jets. There is less forward travel because negative G maneuvers are frowned upon. So there is more positive G travel to “roll and pull”.

Kite•9/2/24, 11:48 AM

As I understand it, it's frowned upon by everyone who has ever tried a lot of negative G's.

GreekbullOP•9/2/24, 3:53 PM

I get that but I somehow messed this up. I know that you need to trim forward travel. I did run the calibrate with Telemffb and DCS on so maybe that's how i messed it up. I could always do that with my Virpil base. I'm just trying to figure out how in the heck I can undo this because even with DCS and Telemffb turned off it's still trying to give me that trim center blue circle way forward which is totally wrong. Is there anyway I can just reset everything?

Col. Sanders•9/3/24, 5:12 AM

I think I messed up my rhino. When I was moving it on its mount. I dropped it, not very far but it hit hard. When I fly and the buffeting effect turns on it bucks hard and feels out of balance. I had not changed any settings. Tried turning the buffeting effect way down and as long as it turns on it causes the issue.

Col. Sanders•9/3/24, 5:14 AM

I have taken the top off and the gimble looks fine and I can't see anything obvious. I'm hesitant to tear it down further. Without knowing what I am looking for.

No need to replace the whole power supply (e-waste and all), you can replace only the jack: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=5.5+2.5+dc+plug

Hiob•9/3/24, 6:41 AM

Everything else feels normal? No grinding, no cracking noises etc. ? Can’t think of a reason why only one certain effect could cause issues….. Checked the settings? (in config and telem!)

Henning Piez•9/3/24, 3:46 PM

Telemffb needs an Config file to use the settings.... In the Settings Page I selected a standard profile that should be loaded at startup.... But.... When starting the sim, the stick is passiv... only acts like a spring / Damper.... If I select / load the same profile in the planes dialog the stick comes alive... why?

Number481•9/3/24, 4:16 PM

I don't fully understand what you are asking. You don't say the sim, but I'll assume DCS.

Taking TelemFFB out of the equation here (all it's doing is pushing a saved profile to the joystick)....

DCS "takes over" the spring effect during startup, this is why your stick goes limp when the sim is loading. It takes ownership of the spring effect and sets the gain to 0.

When you load into an aircraft, the FFB implementation for that aircraft will set the gain of the effect to whatever it should be based on the phase of flight you load into.

When you exit back out to the main menu, the stick generally goes back to a springless state.

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:12 PM

I have had this on and off since the beginning:

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:12 PM

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:13 PM

There is no Sim running and here are my settings

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:15 PM

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:16 PM

I can get it to run ok, when I turn down the gain, but in DCS, any periodic effect will kick it off again. Any ideas?

walmis•9/3/24, 6:17 PM

Try reducing "spring strength proportional damping" and you can try lowering the damper LPF to 6Hz

walmis•9/3/24, 6:18 PM

I suspect the 3d printed extension is not rigid enough for high damper gains

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:20 PM

Thanks for the quick reply! I set "spring strength proportional damping" to 90% and damper LPF to 6 Hz.

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:20 PM

It is much smoother; I'll give it a run

Scorpio•9/3/24, 6:21 PM

I also had this happen before I added the extension.

Scorpio•9/3/24, 7:52 PM

After a couple hours flying Apache, it seems to have solved it. Thanks @walmis !

frumpy•9/5/24, 5:11 AM

Hi, I am looking for a X-Plane/MSFS airplane, where the autopilot following works well. So far, I am always having increasing oscillation issues. I want to turn on the ALT or HDG knob and see the magic. Does this work for any of you? On which plane?

SuperStrayan•9/5/24, 6:27 AM

Why is my configurator constantly pulling the master gain to 50% for no reason? Has anyone else had this?

SSuperStrayan Why is my configurator constantly pulling the master gain to 50% for no reason? ...

walmis•9/5/24, 6:28 AM

Possibly you could have sliders configured in telemFFB and it automatically sets the configured values. Without further context hard to tell

SuperStrayan•9/5/24, 6:33 AM

I don’t have any sliders set in ffb that would be causing this. Do you know which ones might be the culprit?

SuperStrayan•9/5/24, 6:33 AM

Doing it both in fs2020, and in dcs

SuperStrayan•9/5/24, 6:34 AM

Like even the tf51 profile does it, it wasn’t doing it on my other computer

walmis•9/5/24, 6:35 AM

Try running without telemFFB and see if the settings stay. If so telemFFB is loading a profile somewhere.

SuperStrayan•9/5/24, 6:41 AM

So telemffb appears to be the cause, how do I fix it?

So I’ve got an issue I can’t figure out. My base seems to be centered in a stick down orientation.
