Any basic docs/videos on changing out the 3D printed Thrustmaster adapter that comes with the pre-assembled Rhino joystick for the metal version? It looks like it should be straight forward, but I couldn't find any docs and always like to verify before I start taking stuff apart!

I am pretty sure since you don’t have damper, inertia, or friction checked in the effects tab, that the sliders on the settings tab do nothing. My understanding is that you take effects% * settings% to get total allowable %.

Try ticking damper box first, store settings, and see if that helps. High values for inertia and friction can cause instability (motor shutdowns) so best to feed those in slowly.

I think TelemFFB overrides the configurator settings by using recognized or generated profiles, right?

TheAmazinGreat•10/22/24, 6:55 PM

Only if you set them to do so. It doesn’t look like you have, so TelemFFB uses the device settings.

TheAmazinGreat•10/22/24, 6:56 PM

Unless you’ve changed your “startup” vpconfig or set a custom aircraft specific vpconfig in TelemFFB

Hey guys I'm having some issues with the config for the F4. The stick's neutral postion requires a ton of nose down to maintain level flight in cruise. The trim seems to do nothing. Any ideas?

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:17 PM

What do you mean? The trimmed stick position in level flight is forward from center - that is correct. The faster the more it needs to be trimmed forward (down).

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:17 PM

No the trim does nothing

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:17 PM

doesn't move the stick at all

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:18 PM

Are you talking about the VP hardware trim or the in game trim?

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:18 PM

trim in game

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:18 PM

I suppose, honestly I'm not sure which

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:18 PM

Just got this thing. I'm pretty new to all of this

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:18 PM

No problem.

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:19 PM

Some things to check
-make sure ffb is actually activated in the game settings

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:19 PM

it is, I feel the rumble and what not

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:19 PM

check the VP config if you have accidentally checked the trim override

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:20 PM

check if you actually correctly bound the trim hat switch (in game)

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:20 PM

Are you using TelemFFB?

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:21 PM

Trim works, I can see it moving on the hat. Not using telemffb

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:21 PM

hmmm

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:22 PM

the physical stick doesn’t move though?

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:22 PM

no, not with the F4

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:22 PM

the helicopters I can set it, and it stays there

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:24 PM

But you do know that trim in the F4 works totally different from helicopters? Sorry for asking, just to make sure

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:24 PM

yes

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:25 PM

It seems the base is working just fine, but the F4 Y axis is all messed up

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:25 PM

any curves or saturation on the axis in DCS?

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:25 PM

It might be worth mentioning I'm using a 200mm extension

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:25 PM

Yeah, me too.

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:26 PM

Double bindings?

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:26 PM

on axis‘ I mean?

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:26 PM

let me check

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:28 PM

no double bindings

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:28 PM

and no curves?

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:28 PM

I reset the config to default, seems to fix the trim issue, but still the in level flight the stick is very far forward

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:29 PM

That is normal and how it is supposed to be

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:29 PM

saturation is 100

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:30 PM

Last thing is to check the special options for the Phantom, beyond that I‘m out of ideas right now, sorry.

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:31 PM

Thats okay, thanks so much for your help. Which options should I have checked in the special options?

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:34 PM

Sorry can’t tell from the top of my head. Just see if anything seems off.

CoolHand•10/22/24, 9:35 PM

Cool, thanks again. Really appreciate it

Hiob•10/22/24, 9:36 PM

If you really can’t adjust to the forward position of the stick in cruise flight (it is correct though), you could make a Phantom specific VP config where you manually correct the calibration values so the the „middle“ position is more toward you.
