Quest for UK based customers, Just about to order a motors kit, did you pickup VAT & Duty on your order?
WVAT is not included when you order (outside the EU), you have to pay VAT on import + brokerage fees
TMorning, are you aware of the brokerage fees? Many thanks
WI'm not aware of the exact amount in the UK, at least here it's about 30EUR when importing stuff from outside the EU
BIf I remember, UK has a 20% vat on most things.
B€30 would be about the fee fedex charges for the task of charging you the vat.
BIn addition to regular shipping.
BI got charged £12.75 by Fedex on my Rhino kit plus a motor for direct processing fee, then add your 20% VAT on
BIf its below £150 total you may not get a VAT charge
BDhl can be the worst, I got €40 fee for them charging me €30 in vat once.
YCan 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.

NDCS 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

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.

YA10 - Center Y =-2626
F14 - Center Y =-1639
(hence, the reason why A10/F14 have a different position of the stick)

NIt 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.

YWhere can we read about this implementation for F14 and F4?
NBest bet would be to search the relevant subsection of the forums. Its not documented anywhere by HB that I've ever seen
YWhich subsection it would be telemffb dev?
NI mean the DCS forums.
HIt 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
LAnyone 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
CI was £67 extra before fedex would deliver the kit
RAnybody having FFb issues with dcs since today's patch?
AHow, what kind?
Rtake off in 14
put gear up
start getting left-right stick wobbles

Srestart 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 
TAnyone 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
Eoh no. ill try it right now
Etrim still works in the apache for me right now
Tweird, so must be something on my end. Tried in the Apache, Huey, Hind and Shark
Twill try to reinstall things I guess
FDon't. That is an overreaction and won't help. Lol
Emaybe some settings got weird?
Espring still at 100%?
FTry to rename the input folder in saved games to force DCS to create a new one.
Tyeah, settings still the same as before the patch, at least on the Rhino stuff.
Talright, let me see
Ehmm. the TelemFFB is not detecting
Ei just noticed since i dont feel ETL or guns
Enm its good. that was weird
Tok, that didn't work
FIf 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

Tyeah, haven't touched it, but funny enough, turning hardware twim override on and off seemed to have fixed it, lol
TI guess turning things on and off works on practically anything, even humans, lol
Tanyhow, thanks for the help 
Rwhat?
SIf I order the Rhino, is it possible to upgrade the motors in it by simply ordering the motors and printing/cutting new sidewalls for them to fit, or is the box physically bigger for the larger motor flanges?
TIt’s not as simple as swapping the motors, the case is totally different for the larger flange size
