TYou might have to slip your belts off so the centre value is more correct. Read the note about centre value.
TThe red number is your centre value.
Wso I remove the belts and I continue the adjustments, is that it?
WCould someone tell me the procedure to follow to re-center my motors with respect to the belts, to have a better centering value?
N- remove belt
- manually set min/max to 0/4096, Apply
- enable spring, motor will center
- put belt back on with stick centered on axis
- Run auto calibration, apply, store
Center doesn't need to be exactly 2048... just need to be sure that the range of motion is within 0->4096

RWould it be good to design or 3-D print a jig that keeps the stick dead center for this process is probably not needed but could be helpful almost like 2/2 squares like a coupling that slides into the plate or someone has a degree limiter installed.
RIt would almost be like printing, a 0° limiter so the stick doesn’t move at all if those are in place why you’re doing thiscenter reset
TSome of the DIY files have one included.
ROh really. Did not know this.

Mdesigned a plate to fit me rhino's QR base on my rig
Mfirst time ever touching cad, this was fun
Wit's good I managed to correct the centering values, tell me if this is good now for the first configuration step

JCareful. It gets addicting.
JLooks like my USB plug connector housing broke. Does anyone have the stl to replace the VPF base and not the clone?
JThank you, VERY much.
VAfter talking to FedEx on Saturday, which I still hate, now I am informed the base is arriving today.
VJust arrived. May i ask what this is?
V
FThrow limiter. A half of it
VThanks
VHow do i install it?
VAfter auto-calibration, the stick still stays like this. Any help? I have updated both the firmware and the Configurator
WThe calibration only calibrates the extents of the movement range, check the "Balancing the grip" section in the manual, depending of your stick/extension/weight, turning on adaptive recenter might be enough.

WThere's also a section on how to install the limiter. TLDR: it goes under the dust cover frame, unscrew the 4 screws holding it and slip the limiter underneath then screw them back on.

YIs there any place referencing what is supposed to be the feel of the flying stick in real life for each of the different modules available in DCS? Such a repository would be very helpful when trying to configure each module with as much realism as possible. The other day I came across a post in DCS forum for instance, and I discovered that IRL the Huey stick is very light to the touch, can be moved with one finger and is supposed to stay in place with no spring effect centering it back, and therefore it does not need any force trim (except in case of hydraulic pressure), this came very useful for me to totally reconfigure what i had for the Huey for FFB response, and came as a surprise as I would have never guessed that.
FI feel like TelemFFB already is trying to do that
YTelemFFB is a very useful software, but it just sliders you can move and configure for each one own taste, on the top of profile you call from FFB_Configurator. and the one coming from telemetry data sent by DCS. But, it does not tell you who heavy or spring loaded the real stick is supposed to feel in each module.
FIirc it overwrites the config settings but I understand where you are going
YThe same applies to elevator drop effect for instance that you can configure in TelemFFB: older planes had their elevators actually dropping due to their own weight when the plane was parked, with the stick dropping forward as a consequence. Then upon switching on the engine, the propeller wash would raise the elevator into a centered position. It is very cool that this can be implemented through TelemFFB, but who knows to which planes this actually applied in DCS or IL2?

Parked F-14s seem to be with elevator dropped for instance, but it is hard to know for sure without clear references.

LNot to my knowledge. I can only recommend aviation literature. If, for example, Huey is your favourite, then read Chickenhawk and learn how Robert Mason described the control feel.
LAnd whether they were told to fly Force trim switch on or off in Viet Nam.
TYou can also take a bunch of discovery flights but most of us are/were former pilots in real life so most of us just sort of go by how things “used to feel”
It’s never going to be true simulators unless we had some sort of G force seat belts with some other sort of Level D platforms
