I assume @walmis will reach out to you shortly and help you, don’t worry. You could try a different browser in the meantime.

Jon (Bounty_V)•9/8/24, 7:29 AM

Yeah doing things like disabling any adblocker, using a different browser, or using a different device may help.

Last ditch effort would be using incognito/private mode (as an alternative to clearing cache/cookies)

Just an information: New Rhino Do-It-Yourself-Kits are available now. Just send me a PN if someone would like to order one.

TelemFFB Update - v20240908

General

Configurator gains learned at startup are no longer restored upon exit unless enabled in system settings
DCS
CH47 - Enable door gunner to trigger weapons effect
Add G-Force effect as optional for helicopters (was not previously available)
DCS/IL2/MSFS/XPLANE
New G-Force effect for fixed wing aircraft
- See The Manual for a bit wordier description
- The original effect worked OK, but the "curvature" of the applied force would often lead to oscillations or a jerky feeling
- The new effect uses a linear calculation based on the min/max G settings to determine the primary force factor
  - The physical stick deflection is then used as a factor to determine the final applied force. For any given g-loading, "the harder you are pulling, the more force you will feel"
  - The range of stick deflection that results in %100 applied force is adjustable
  - Allows for negative G effect also.
- For DCS/IL2, If both the new and old effects are enabled at the same time, the new effect takes precedence. The legacy effect was not previously available for MSFS/XPLANE.

Is it possible to use this G-Force effect for simulating the bobweight (i.e. to give consistent stick force per g regardless of stick position, usually in addition to the consistent force per unit of displacement by the spring), or is this something completely different?

Hiob•9/9/24, 5:55 AM

The F-4 has its own g-effects and don't need the TelemFFN effect.
In fact the new effect comes very close to how the F4 feels. (because essentially it mimics the effect the bobweights have)
So if you want to have that in any plane. Now you can have it.

Hiob•9/9/24, 5:56 AM

You can test the old and new effect back to back with the old one.

Number481•9/9/24, 7:54 PM

hardware trim is a function of the default spring effect which is created by configurator when no sim is running. That effect is overridden when a sim starts and creates its own spring effect.

You can use the "override trim" checkbox to force the hardware trim bindings on the spring effect owned by the sim (but this will override any in-game trim following that may be native to the sim).

Number481•9/9/24, 9:50 PM

Hmm… I forgot how wonky IL2s FFB implementation is. They manage two discrete effects for x and y. The override only seems to affect x or y, never both. But as soon as you release the button, the sim sets it back to center again.

You could enable “sticky”, but you’d lose all the dynamics of the spring effect from the sim.

Number481•9/9/24, 9:52 PM

Does IL2 not support FFB trim following natively? I thought it did, but I've never played it enough to remember one way or the other.

PokePoke•9/10/24, 2:02 PM

yes, except some planes, not whole planes this is the problem. so il2 planes and t152h has enough spring force. I mean only center spring force other effects are just fine. if you increase spring force gain for all planes,

PokePoke•9/10/24, 2:03 PM

then some plane will have way too high gain, but it is better than nothing bcz I can just lower the gain for the specific planes

PokePoke•9/10/24, 2:04 PM

note that it is only for center spring force, other effects are just fine, more than strong enough

Number481•9/10/24, 2:18 PM

Rudders are completely different, so that would have been a useful data point up front

. The sim has no concept of FFB rudders and its all managed by TelemFFB. For DCS/IL2 the dynamic rudder forces are just "cheap" speed envelope based spring gain. You can modify the speeds in the advanced config for the pedal mode settings. IIRC, I got all of the speeds that are in the default profiles from https://aergistal.github.io/il2

If you reduce the VNE speed, the applied gain will be higher at a given speed below that value.

Got it so by reducing Vne gain, make ffb think it is faster than as it is, so I can get higher spring force gain, right? but I think it is not only speed related I think it is speed + weight related. but anyways as long as we cannot adjust weight, the speed is the key

Number481•9/10/24, 2:30 PM

reducing the VNE speed will just steepen slope of the linear force calculation. At a given speed. Here's a ChatGPT graph showing the applied force (vertical dashed lines) at a given speed (horizontal dashed line) given two very different VNE speed set points (458 vs 300).

Hiob•9/10/24, 5:38 PM

I don’t know about that particular extension, but generally speaking off-center/gooseneck extension aren‘t a problem. You can balance the stick with the configurator (unless the offset is extrem and the grip very heavy - you could probably still balance it, but the constant applied force will heat up the motors I assume). Why should an extension have an effect on the deadzone though? Btw, there is no deadzone on the Rhino by design.

Kamini•9/10/24, 7:16 PM

Dead zone is a bad way to describe it but basically the springs weren't strong enough to put it exactly in the center on their own. The last 2 degrees I had to push myself.

Depending on your spring settings, you can have those issues with the Rhino. A long heavy grip emphasises the problem of course.
