You need to use the latest version of VP config as well. The one in your screenshot is outdated and diesn't work with the newest firmware

hey - looking for some help. I upgraded to win 11, and fresh install on new drive. now telemFFB isn't seeing DCS.

anyone run into this?

Mack•12/2/24, 4:11 AM

i regenerated the export.lua.

Any way to rename the controllers?
What if I have 3 boards connected all at once, does the software all me to see all three or do you have disconnect each board from usb and do one board at a time for programming?

Did you remove (or rename) any other .lua files in the scripts folder as well? If not try that.

You can open the rear panel (the one with the fan) and it tightens with a nut from the other side

Hi guys, just got my collective calibrated with 86 motor on a gear box. Due to the length of the pole and the grip (metal) I'm not sure if I need to counter balance or the motor is strong enough. Not really sure what I should set. Currently I have the grip off, set the spring 100% and then found a setting for static force which I set to 50% so now when I move the collective handle it stays were I left it. Global gains and Global effects are at zero.

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 6:47 PM

@H145Rotor-Sims i think you should always counterweight a collective control since speed of movement is not an issue so extra mass should not hurt anything

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 6:58 PM

Hi Tony, I have it connected to a 10:1 gear box and noticed if I set static force it can balance but I am using this strictly for the H145 HPG. I'm reading the documentation on it and it mentions to use balance spring and adaptive force to bring it to center. So I'm not sure if I'm not allowed to use static force in conjuction with that

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 7:01 PM

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:01 PM

I dont mean to use the forces on the motor to balance...i mean to attach a physical weight to the end of the tube to balance the entire arm before ever putting it on the motor.

smitty•12/4/24, 7:02 PM

physical weight counterbalance would be best

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:02 PM

yes

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 7:03 PM

Okay that's what I'll do. I guess the goal is put as little resistance load on the motor as possible

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:03 PM

yes exactly

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 7:04 PM

Now time to find some weight

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:05 PM

try ring weights or mic stand balance weights maybe on a threaded tube so they are adjustable.

just a few ideas

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 7:10 PM

I just did a quick test with some weights. I need about 12 lbs or need to extend the rear

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:13 PM

probably best to extend the rear with a slightly larger tube and attack the weights to that...even a pvc tube to fit inside the collective tube and still have the wire come through the middle

As an electrician the first thing that came to mine was a 4 sq j box filled with concrete

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:17 PM

that works

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 7:18 PM

Is there anything wrong with using 50% constant force?

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:18 PM

or lead pellets

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:20 PM

aside from constant power draw and possible heat in the motors not really...but if the motor powers off or ps shuts off the the copter is going down unless you constantly hold the collective in place...hard balance w weights eliminates that issue

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 7:22 PM

Just by adding two emt connectors and 1 rigid coupling my static force is 12% and holding. I gave nothing else set

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:24 PM

add just a little more weight or slightly longer coupler and you should have it

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:24 PM

i think the hand weight may be overkill

H145Rotor-Sims•12/4/24, 7:25 PM

I'm not sure what this really needs to be set to properly working in fs2020 the manual mentions the balance spring and adaptive re-entering but makes no mention of static force

smitty•12/4/24, 7:26 PM

the manual is mostly written for joysticks that point upward

TonyZ2525•12/4/24, 7:26 PM

beats me .... I know hardware but the settings are a complete mystery to me...I dont even know what to set my rhino to in fs2020 or dcs.

right. thats how it pushes the collective around/locks in place. has nothing to do with balancing
