Hello, I have a question regarding stick compatibility and switching. Currently on a virpil setup, and I can tell the software to load a profile for each grip so that I can use the one most suitable to what I am flying. Is this possible too on the Rhino ?
What about button and axis limitations on said grips ? Flankr features analog ministick and brake lever, is that supported too ? I read somewhere there was a button limit

Yes, all features are supported of the grips. You can change the profiles too.

Morning, are you aware of the brokerage fees? Many thanks

walmis•2/19/25, 8:28 AM

I'm not aware of the exact amount in the UK, at least here it's about 30EUR when importing stuff from outside the EU

Bob Bushman•2/19/25, 8:30 AM

If I remember, UK has a 20% vat on most things.

Bob Bushman•2/19/25, 8:32 AM

€30 would be about the fee fedex charges for the task of charging you the vat.

Bob Bushman•2/19/25, 8:34 AM

In addition to regular shipping.

I got charged £12.75 by Fedex on my Rhino kit plus a motor for direct processing fee, then add your 20% VAT on

Blackrat•2/19/25, 8:50 AM

If its below £150 total you may not get a VAT charge

Bob Bushman•2/19/25, 8:53 AM

Dhl can be the worst, I got €40 fee for them charging me €30 in vat once.

Can the data sent from DCS to TelemFFB when starting a mission to configure the Spring Force for the specific module be visualized somewhere? Does it appear in any logs from DCS or TelemFFB? I am trying to reverse engineer what is th Spring Value set by DCS for each module. Many thanks in advance, Y.

DCS simply starts a spring effect and modifies the coefficient value of the effect which equates to the strength. If you look at the debug tab in configurator you can see what the coefficient value is for the active spring effect at any given time.

Keep in mind it will always be 0-4096, regardless of how you have your other configurator settings set. DCS has no idea what your spring gain slider is set to. That simply acts as a multiplier on top of the gain value set in the effect itself.

The spring effect managed by DCS is typically ID:5

Youtch•2/19/25, 1:26 PM

Many thanks!
Is this coefficient fixed for each module or does it change with other parameters such as deviation or speed? Is there any dynamic aspect?
I understand that this coefficient implies the following %, assuming saturation = 100%
F16 X = 99% = Maximum; Y= 50%
F18 X/Y = 99% = Maximum
HUEY X/Y = 1% = Minimum
A10 X/Y = 99% = Maximum
F14 - X/Y = 99% = Maximum
I am surprised the information coming from DCS modules regarding configuration of FFB is so basic.

Youtch•2/19/25, 1:30 PM

A10 - Center Y =-2626
F14 - Center Y =-1639
(hence, the reason why A10/F14 have a different position of the stick)

YYoutch Many thanks! Is this coefficient fixed for each module or does it change with ot...

Number481•2/19/25, 1:44 PM

It depends on the module. In general however,
Warbirds and the like will vary with airspeed
FBW aircaft like the F18 will by static
Helicopters will be static. Spring force will go to 0 when trim release is pressed

The F4 has the most advanced implementation. The gain varies by airspeed and the bobweight is simulated by shifting the centerpoint in response to g-loading.

In aircraft where the stick moves in response to trim input, that will also be handled by the centerpoint of the spring effect.

Youtch•2/19/25, 1:47 PM

Where can we read about this implementation for F14 and F4?

Number481•2/19/25, 1:53 PM

Best bet would be to search the relevant subsection of the forums. Its not documented anywhere by HB that I've ever seen

Youtch•2/19/25, 1:54 PM

Which subsection it would be telemffb dev?

Number481•2/19/25, 1:59 PM

I mean the DCS forums.

HrEple•2/19/25, 2:46 PM

It is annoying to have the A10, F4 and F14 sticks so far forward by default. I've been successfull at least somewhat in tweaking it back with a setting suggested here. Might be endstops

Anyone considering upgrading to new VIRPIL R1 Falcon pedals? My Ace interceptors are still on back order (with Flankr) so wonder if it makes sense change them or that will lead to more delays

take off in 14
put gear up
start getting left-right stick wobbles

restart software / PC and thing i made an oppsi is: make sure your profile isnt set to be a chopper had that on the mirage F1 accidentally put it to chopper and the moment i went to fast it just went ballistic with the overspeed turbulences since a chopper normally aint fying 500 kts

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 7:25 PM

Anyone else having trim not working with helos after last patch? Like, when I keep pressing the trim button it works normally, but when released it springs back to center

Ethalider•2/20/25, 7:31 PM

oh no. ill try it right now

Ethalider•2/20/25, 7:34 PM

trim still works in the apache for me right now

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 7:35 PM

weird, so must be something on my end. Tried in the Apache, Huey, Hind and Shark

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 7:36 PM

will try to reinstall things I guess

Fr4Ged•2/20/25, 7:36 PM

Don't. That is an overreaction and won't help. Lol

Ethalider•2/20/25, 7:37 PM

maybe some settings got weird?

Ethalider•2/20/25, 7:37 PM

spring still at 100%?

Fr4Ged•2/20/25, 7:37 PM

Try to rename the input folder in saved games to force DCS to create a new one.

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 7:38 PM

yeah, settings still the same as before the patch, at least on the Rhino stuff.

alright, let me see

hmm. the TelemFFB is not detecting

Ethalider•2/20/25, 7:40 PM

i just noticed since i dont feel ETL or guns

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 7:46 PM

ok, that didn't work

Fr4Ged•2/20/25, 7:57 PM

If you haven't touched the Rhino configurator or TelemFFB it probably is something about the export lua and stuff.
There are more knowledgeable people on here with better ideas probably

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 8:02 PM

yeah, haven't touched it, but funny enough, turning hardware twim override on and off seemed to have fixed it, lol

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 8:04 PM

I guess turning things on and off works on practically anything, even humans, lol

The Greatest of all Fords•2/20/25, 8:05 PM

anyhow, thanks for the help
