CHow do you check this?
CStick dies, goes limp, inputs stop
DDebug page in vpforce configurator
DIts could be a power issue or a setting
DYou can check here
CSound strange tho, Im using the psu that came with it, and modest settings, very close to default
Cdebug page is empty for now, I guess I have to check when it happens
DYep
DI'm not in front of my pc but you have the log too (check the manual for "how to")
Cok
CSo you cant do it retractivly when ti happens? Beucase its very unpredicatble. Maybe once every two hours, and happens both with full force on stick and minimal force in cruise
DFrom memory you can "start" a "log mode" in vp config. Me: i start the config when I play (and had issues) then it's already in the soft
DIt's 2 different thing
DThe debug page (1) and the logs
DOthers could answer with better precision
DBut if you loose the power (motor fault in the debug page) it's a power issue (not just your psu but other sources too) or a settings (Considering what you're describing, probably not that)
Mhey - i recently updated the firmware on the rhnio and now i'm having osme issues. i'm getting a pop up that my stick is detected and it wont go away. also, the usb event is causes my games to crash when it happens. i
Mis there a way to go back to the last firmware?

HHi everyone, I found that when flying the H145 the collective should be allowed to operate without the trim release being pressed. It seems from what I've been told by an H145 engineer that you are able to manually override without the use of the trim release and that the more you pull the harder it gets because it's a spring that is getting twisted, when you let go it will automatically go back to the previous position. What settings would I need to dial in to emulate this both in the VP Config and TelemFFB?

MThe collective essentially replicates the cyclic is one axis. With trim release pressed it will be dampened but easy to move. When released the new center will be updated. You will have a spring force when pushing or pulling through the trimmed position and if you release pressure it will return to the previous position. The collective and cyclic should never be stiff, even with upper modes engaged.
Nthe way the collective is modeled, it requires TR to manipulate. That was my understanding from @exil35 when I was developing the code initially.
HI've read through manual once again but I'm not finding the answer. What is see is "the trim release is required to operate the collective" I do not see any information about overpowering it without the use of the trim release button.
I'm also confused as to weather the force settings should be set in the VP Configurator or be zeroed out in vp Configuration and configured in telemffb with overrides?

HWhen I spoke to the engineer who works on the real H145 and an H145 pilot they both confirmed if needed you can operate the collective without the use of the trim release. You can pull it manually with about 8nm force but the more you pull the tighter it gets because you are pulling against a spring. You are able to do this in case the trim release fails
NI don't doubt you, and it makes logical sense. It's not implemented that way today though. Shouldn't be too hard to fix but will require a TelemFFB update.
re: your other question... there are no override effect settings (damper, friction, etc) you can set in TelemFFB that you can't also set in configurator. All the overrides in TelemFFB are there for convenience so you don't necessarily need separate configurator profiles per aircraft.

HSomeone on my YT channel noticed in my vid I couldn't move it and said you are supposed to. This lead me asking the pilot and engineer I know and they confirmed. I was looking in the settings and was trying to figure out what I could do but couldn't find a solution which lead me here.

On the other question. Thank you for the clarification. I only fly the H145 so I'm not switching profiles so I imagine I don't need to use any overrides in telemffb since everything is stored in my controller via the settings I did in the vp config. Just got my cyclic put together so very excited to get that setup tomorrow.

Nthe only exception to the overrides being required are if you are using the low hydraulic pressure effect. But that is still a very rough feature (and Im not sure it will work with the 145 today)
HI don't have the low HYD enabled but I know how it's supposed to work. Similar to losing power steering in a car lol.
NI can send you a test build with this implemented. However, if ALT mode is engaged (
L:H145_SDK_AFCS_MODE_COLLECTIVE = 1), the helicopter itself ignores the collective input unless TR is pressed. HPG would need to fix that if it is incorrect.HThis would be good if it can be made to work because then I can make a video that shows the amazing support from the VP community. I've been trying to get as many people as possible to know more about Walmis and the amazing work he and everyone is doing.
HOne of my goals is get many more people using VP force motors and software
MI’ve flown quite a few 4-axis AFCS aircraft over past 20 yrs and they all behave very much the same……..the collective must be able to be moved and used without pressing in the FTR trigger regardless if upper pitch modes engaged or not…….this is a safety requirement for certification. Yes your arm will get tired so of course normally you use the FT system. Also these acft the main rotor (and T/R) are all dual independent hydraulic powered. Has to be…….if you lose all hydraulics to the MR you can kiss your backside goodbye……forever! So if you lose one hyd side you can continue to use the controls as if no hyd was lost……normally so. Now there are some heli that have only one hyd side to TR and so if one hyd system that powers the TR is lost then you can get real heavy pedal control……but these acft are usually 3 axis not 4 axis AFCS.
So would be nice to have this capability to manually move collective with FT engaged……just to make it realistic …..

HHi Mike, thanks for your insight on this. @Number481 is working on code in telemffb to have this feature and is currently testing it.
HJust got the cyclic up and running but I'm having an issue. I press the force trim reset and then the stick about 5 seconds later starts to fall forward and it's applying force. All I have on in my VP configurator is global master gain set to 90% spring 90%, effects are spring checked, adaptive re-centering both x y at 90%. In telem FFB I have force trim and force trim reset enables and assigned via loop back and it works. I have axis control on as well as axis control trim following. Not sure what's happening
Sive never used force trim reset, i dont even have it bound. does a real heli have a reset?
HYes the H145 has a force trim reset.
Sbeats me, try these scenarios - 1. bound only in-game with hpg 2. bound only in telemffb. 3. bound both places
HBasically what is is when I'm sitting here in the heli and hit the trim release and put it to a new position it starts to fall forward
Sdo you have some nonzero value for constant/ friction in configurator?
HHmm that might be it
Sshouldnt need much, try starting with this
HWhat do you have in effects?
S
Sbut those are for when the game isn't doing anything. the spring/displacement mapping applies in game though.
HSwhoa thats really weird.
Sthere was a debug mode on the mfd for the AFCS but i forget how to show it.
Si think number481 and/or exil will need to help on this one
