My settings are pretty much default, but I also get an annoying oscillation around the centre point

My settings are pretty much default, but I also get an annoying oscillation around the centre point if I turn up my gain pot anything more than about 20%, which sucks as I want some stronger force......whats the best way to dial this out please?

Hi Mark, first with no effects on etc perform the calibration procedure.
Next make sure effects are off click apply. Then on in the balance spring option make sure to unlink x and y and + and -. Click apply then work on each axis independently. Initially the stick will flop around depending on extension and weight. The goal is to get it to the point it isn't snapping back to center but instead stays where you put it. As for the oscillation that would be a question for walmis. Post screen shots of your setting and make a video if you can.

I can look for that part and post it if you want.

I believe this is the file I used to replace the original arrow plate. You may need to slightly scale if it's too tight.

TelemFFB is a separate program from the configurator that adds more forces than are native to the sim using telemetry exported from the sim. Download and install from here.

The documentation on how to use and install it is in the Rhino manual. Assuming you are flying DCS, there may be one additional step for the installation to get it going which will be in the manual.

mark turnerOP•1/1/25, 12:01 PM

Hi, OK, tried this again, and having similar issues I use a virpil Z extension on both my Rhinos, and when I have the stick at centre or forward of centre, I can adjust the negative balance spring value (approx 11%) to make it stay in a placed position. But if go backwards past the centre, then the stick wont stay where you put it - even at 100% negative..of course at this setting, once I place the stick anywhere past centre in the forwards direction, it snaps fully forwards.

mark turnerOP•1/1/25, 12:03 PM

Another thing I notcied on calibration ( but not in normal use) is that when you rotate the stick around the circle at full deflection, there are places where I am feeling a cogging ( forwards) and other places ( around 4 oclock and 8 oclock) where I can feel a notching....any ideas whats going on there?

H145Rotor-Sims•1/1/25, 1:38 PM

The first screen shot you show the balance spring at -94% in the forward postion 6% in the positive but your 2nd screen shot your balance spring shows -11.1% and 0%..Your left and right is also changed. On my forward position I'm using 18% (positive number) and rear 5%, 12% on my left and 10% on my right. As for cogging this usually means the calibration ones done properly to full deflection or there is a mechanical issue.

MGBDave•1/1/25, 3:20 PM

Sadly, I could not find my original openscad project, but I re-measured the original adapeter plate, and the inside diameter was 10mm, so I used 3D builder to fill the oversized hole, then put a 10mm hole with a slight chamfer as per the original plate. this should be much closer.

TeufelHunden•1/1/25, 4:11 PM

Some of my planes in IL2 Great Battles the center is forward or the trim is acting very weird if I trim nose down the stick moves forward alot in order to keep plane level. I need to apply constant force down when doing so. But some of my planes do not act like this I'm using the same config profile for all right now. any thoughts? I notice this on the duck the spit and the p39 so far I know it happens on other but those are the ones I've flown recently.

TeufelHunden•1/1/25, 4:12 PM

it like trim is working but why is it having the opposite effect on the direction of my stick like this?

Number481•1/1/25, 9:15 PM

not sure I fully understand your problem description, but if the trim movement seems to be backwards, in general I would recommend to make sure the dot in the axis view in the configurator app moves in sync with your joystick. If one or both axes are backwards, use the invert setting for that axis in configurator.

If your axis is backwards and you invert it in the game, this will usually lead to inverted forces since there is typically no sync between "ffb direction" and "axis direction".

TeufelHunden•1/1/25, 9:17 PM

I have turned my stick base around but I checked the invert on my pitch axis when I turned my base around. Is there another area I need to invert for trim to work correctly.

TeufelHunden•1/1/25, 9:18 PM

TeufelHunden•1/1/25, 9:19 PM

what you are saying makes sense my stick works good for everything but when trimming plane out the stick moves the wrong direction

TeufelHunden•1/1/25, 9:19 PM

I just don't know how to fix it.

Number481•1/1/25, 9:25 PM

does the purple dot follow the stick correctly and in the right direction?

TeufelHunden•1/1/25, 9:31 PM

yes the purple follows

My settings are pretty much default, but I also get an annoying oscillation around the centre point
