Hey... this just happened in DCS Tomcat... stick just went full berserk forward and the weight of the Warthog stick on Virpil extension tore the thread in half... I am putting my log and config if someone can check if ther is anything wrong.... I did not really change anything to DCS profiles... maybe just created a couple MSFS profiles...

probably good to get the aluminum attachment, especially since the warthog grip is so heavy + an extension, that's a lot of momentum to fight against

j9murphy•9/30/24, 10:34 PM

is there any documentation/guidance for how to optimize these settings? I understand the first two, the rest are a bit of a mystery.

Hi @walmis just popped in an order form for the winwing adapter, the one I was using, the plastic screw on part that attaches to the base snapped in half and the joystick fell off. The adapter on the left is the one that broke, the one on the right was the original I ordered but it never worked. Just tried it again but it wouldn’t connect correctly in that the flight controls worked, but the functions on the joystick would not work such as the gun trigger or any other buttons. Might it have something to do with the metal surround under the arrow around the pins? The broken one doesn’t have one and all functions worked normally……just a thought. Cheers.

Have you checked to make sure you have Winwing selected under the grip drop down in VP CONFIG?

I’ve been using this Winwing joystick for awhile now with my Rhino with no issues. Could changing out the adapter do that? I’ll give it a try

VKNG•10/2/24, 5:12 AM

Oh well I’m not 100% sure, I just know that was my problem with mine not working. Now that I think about it though, you do have a point. Still worth it to check. Gets you back in the seat quicker.

Number481•10/2/24, 1:50 PM

That error isn't from TelemFFB, its actually from Configurator (occurring when TelemFFB uses the CLI to load the profile).

Suggests a USB error, commonly caused by overloaded or misbehaving USB hub. If its connected to a powered hub, try power cycling the hub, or try plugging directly into the PC

Have you switched between Rio and pilot seat by chance? There's a known issue where the Ai moves the trim to the extreme while you sit in the aft cockpit. Makes a wild ride when you go back to pilot seat.

VKNG•10/2/24, 2:55 PM

Interesting. I’ve never seen mine do that. I also have the limiters in. Do you have DCS running in the background not paused by chance?

Warwolf09•10/2/24, 2:55 PM

Nothing running in the background

VKNG•10/2/24, 2:55 PM

Above my pay grade then. Hope it gets sorted and it’s nothing more than a quick update of firmware etc.

Hiob•10/2/24, 3:20 PM

Did you just hit calibrate or did you actually do the calibration? Auto doesn't mean you don't need to do anything. I assume the axis values are bogus.

Hiob•10/2/24, 3:21 PM

You need to move the stick in all corners and after that end the calibration AND save the values to the stick

Warwolf09•10/2/24, 3:21 PM

I hit auto calibration and then moved the axis to the limits

Hiob•10/2/24, 3:21 PM

Do you have a screenshot of the VP config page? The one with the axis calibration?

Warwolf09•10/2/24, 3:22 PM

One second

Hiob•10/2/24, 3:24 PM

Even better - a short video of the page, while the stick is dancing?

Warwolf09•10/2/24, 3:46 PM

I think i resolved the issue. Turned off and loaded default options then did the calibration process and seems to be working now

Warwolf09•10/2/24, 3:46 PM

Thanks for the help

VPS_Choki•10/2/24, 7:17 PM

hello guys

so i just installed my 10 degree throw limiter but after doing the full calibration it seems to not give me full deflection in the control viewer?

TheAmazinGreat•10/2/24, 8:39 PM

Did you apply/store settings? There could also be some mechanical flex in the assembly which can be tuned out with the numbers to the right of the axis limit values.

Booker•10/3/24, 7:26 AM

Minor issue - the red power button base loosened up. I assume I just remove the screws in the top panel, lift it up and I should be able to tighten the button. Are there any tips or a better way to do this?

I think while I have it apart, I’m going to look at the possibility of moving the adjustment dial - it’s too close to the power button for my big fingers. Again, any tips?

You can access the power button nut by opening the rear panel (with the fan)

I'm convinced there is something wrong with my x axis motor or it's sensor or maybe it's my settings but it is almost constantly cutting out with telemffb effects & even without that running when flying in IL2. Any ideas on how I can test this? Happy to post my settings if someone would be willing to check them out & test them. Any help would be great thanks.

PiNKSH!T•10/3/24, 1:16 PM

without telemffb running the native ffb effects from IL2 will cause the x axis to do it's 'safety-cut-out'. It happens the worse in DCS with telemffb & heli effects like ETL VRS etc. it's never the y axis only the x axis.

Number481•10/3/24, 1:21 PM

I see. I thought you meant it was cutting in and out like stopping/starting.

If the axis is going into failsafe cutout, there's likely something in your settings that is leading to the instability. For me, this usually happens if I get too aggressive with combinations of damper/friction/inertia. Could also be something in your "expert settings".

Post your configurator settings, both the "settings" and "effects" tabs. Maybe something will jump out or maybe walmis will have a suggestion.

Number481•10/3/24, 1:35 PM

your damper/friction/inertia sliders and their associated effect tab settings look reasonable to me. Your expert setting LPF values look a bit off from the defaults though. I don't really know how to use these values to affect a certain change, but I do know that they can have a big impact on what a "good" setting would be for the sliders/effects.

I'm guessing there's a reason for your current values, but you might try loading the values from the default config and see if things improve. Otherwise I could only suggest disabling/reducing one or more of damper/friction/inertia and seeing what happens.

The values from the default profile:

I think these were lowered on advice from walmis when I originally had x axis issues. I'll have a play with them tomorrow when I'm on again.

Bozo VFA-86•10/3/24, 2:29 PM

my F4 roll axis has gotten very light without me making any changes. The roll axis issue is inconsistent, sometimes feeling normal...it may be a single player vs multi-player issue but I'm not certain yet.

tanr•10/3/24, 9:19 PM

Is it possible to map other joystick encoders or pots, or even just keyboard shortcuts, to change some of the configurator gains like "Pot#1 Function" does? It would make tweaking my configs so much easier if I could just turn knobs to change the configurator Master, Periodic Effects, Spring, Damping, and Friction gains while feeling the changes on the fly.
