I use a switched outlet. Either way, it does the same. It is always good practice to physically cut power to unused devices.

DCS is having a polling issue with mouses. How often is the vpforce software polling and teleffb polling? since the joystick is constantly moving, i have wondered if its caused some issues like the mouse polling. Just noticed some stuttering witht he ingame fps graph when moving cyclic in game. The stutters on the graph go away whne not moving the cyclic. @Number481

we use the standard export script which is a loop that executes on every simulation frame. So the rate is effectively equal to your frame rate.

Easy way. Random guesswork and keep guessing til you get it right ?

Dont ask me about the second option.

Number481OP•9/13/24, 10:08 PM

"should work"... are you having issues? The telemetry setup for IL2 isn't well documented. Its possible to set up multiple telemetry receivers, and the auto-install code in TelemFFB has logic to do it, even if you already have stuff configured for another device. This Section of the manual is still applicable (I should pull it out of the legacy documentation section).

Number481OP•9/14/24, 1:55 AM

It ultimately depends on what effects you have started on the effects tab (or are starting via TelemFFB), but your friction/inertia/damper are quite high and you could see instability cause the motors to go into protection fault, especially when periodic effects start playing.

Should work, AFAIK. I dont use a bass shaker and don't have the SS Wings software, but I did a quick test with the github project "il2 shaker", just to test output to multiple receivers from IL2 and it works as expected.

Maybe post your startup.cfg here just to make sure there's no errors in it.

Bird*dog•9/14/24, 5:37 PM

Thanks all - must be an issue with simshaker software, it’s a fresh install. I used to have a jetseat but now switching over to a buttkicker. I’m afk for a bit but I’ll see if I can debug the simshaker end first.

Number481OP•9/14/24, 5:56 PM

Suggest removing the telemetry and motion configs from the startup.cfg and then reinstalling the shaker software to let it insert itself first. Make sure that’s working, then try to set the decimation value to 1 and make sure it still works. Then let TelemFFB add itself. Will require sim restart every time you change the setup.cfg file.

Motor Temperatures? Is it normal for one motor to run hotter than the other and how hot is the normal thermal operating range and what temperature is considered too high. The y motor is consistently hotter than the x motor by 4 to 5 degrees C when near idle and can get much hotter when utilized. Thanks in advance.

As I said, its not well documented. I don't know if you can add 3 receiver definitions to the config, I don't think adding an addr2addr2 will work. Others have solved it using the UDP forwarding feature of the SS Wings app https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/57925-simshaker-wings-support-thread-for-il-2-users/page/23/#comment-1292475. Here you would put in the ip/port needed to forward the data to SRS.

What size are the screws holding on the dust cover? The manual says Torx T5 but they are DEFINITELY not that small! Never mind, found out by trial and error - it's a T10.

Glaive(Rikk)•9/16/24, 8:12 AM

Just had the back off to get to the cut off switch which was playing up, same as before just had a wiggle and it's working again. While I had the back off I pulled one of the connectors to test something and as I expected it won't power up, problem is the switch is failing powered on so it can't be a connector issue, it has to be a switch issue.
Is it possible to buy a replacement switch? as it's a pain to disasemble everything

On another note, is there any issue with me designing a duct and putting a bigger fan on this to replace the inbuilt one as it's very loud when it comes on.

Mike T•9/17/24, 3:32 AM

Hi All……need of some help. I just got the DIY motor and controller PCB to fabricate a collective control, but no data sheet or similar instructions were included in how to wire up the two. I searched for about an hour on google, YT and on the VPforce web site but I’m at a loss as to where to find the info. Obviously it must be somewhere as plenty have done their own setups using the DIY motor and controller. Maybe I’m just dumb but can’t find any data sheet or tech info.
Cheers

In the assembly instructions you can find on the protomaker github is a wiring diagram. you can also go to the knowledge base for the Crosswind Pedals Mod. There is a picture of the wiring. You just need to plug in the other motor for a collective.

You need to connect the other motor though. (pedals are roll axis, collective is pitch so to say). When firing up the contraption you need to disable the unused axis in the VP configurator.

Hi Hiob……thanks very much for that Assembly Reference you attached, helps a lot…..would not have found that …….i wonder why VPforce can’t have something like that info on their site?
Cheers

Mike T•9/17/24, 8:18 AM

Hiob, the motor sent to me says Roll……does it matter? Can I use it for pitch as you say for the collective? Also on the board it’s labelled Motor 1 and 2……which is which?
Ta

Hiob•9/17/24, 9:09 AM

I think that doesn't really matter. Maybe my assumption was wrong and a single motor is always roll. Either way, you can swap axis in the configurator anyway.

Hiob•9/17/24, 9:11 AM

You just need to make sure, that the power wires (blue/yellow) and control wires (white) go in the corresponding connectors. See my picture. When you use the left socket also use the middle power connectors, when you use the right socket, use the right power connectors.

drop your telemffb log here (from %localappdata%\VPForce-TelemFFB\log). Most probaby something else
