Force trim in helicopters (Rhino and FFB in general)

For me this is one of the most useful features of FFB in simulators.

Force trim is holding your cyclic in place by electromagnetic clutches that you interrupt when holding the button. Aka you interrupt, move stick, release -> new center.

With trim he probably refers to the hat trimming where you move the new center by pressing the hat in a direction with the system moving the stick there.

@walmis just wanted to thank you for everything you've done. I recently completed a DIY with your motors and board... and it is fantastic. So, thank you for all your work!

Fox_VR_•2/21/25, 6:27 PM

I think I will go with standard motors, should be more than enough for me. Thnx for the input

Zrad•2/23/25, 4:15 AM

@Number481 I’m searching through the channel looking for photos/people using the virpil z-extension with their setup, are you still using it? what do(did) you like and dislike the most about it?

Bob Bushman•2/23/25, 10:22 AM

It simply brings the grip closer, so the base can be placed so the belt don't rub against my seat.

Fierce_Fire•2/23/25, 4:59 PM

The F16 is a fly-by-wire aircraft which have little FFB in the first place, and then its also a force sensing stick which basically has no feedback. I assume there will be little you can do unless you make something with telemFFB

Bob Bushman•2/23/25, 5:08 PM

There are some basic effects, you can for example feel g's as you pull, with telemffb of course. And you can use a profile with significantly reduced throw range to make it feel real snappy.

VRFGiPJP•2/23/25, 5:19 PM

Oh, sorry I was using the Rhino for F-15C which has its own avonics. I use the other base for side stick planes.

VRFGiPJP•2/23/25, 5:29 PM

So, in my case, I can just manually load the DCS F-15C profile and use it as is, right?

Anthony•2/23/25, 6:36 PM

I’d leave it working as a normal stick

Anthony•2/23/25, 6:37 PM

Reducing the range/throw of the stick really wouldn’t hold a candle to how a force sensing stick feels, regardless of ramping up resistance

Anthony•2/23/25, 6:38 PM

It would just make for a strange feeling which likely wears on the internal mechanics quite a bit, and limits your manoeuvrability in game

AArno I don't dare to ask how exactly you are using it.....

red_one•2/24/25, 8:35 AM

i wish i could centre the stick. let go and have the machine sense the force required to keep it centered
and therefore the new centre of gravity

red_one•2/24/25, 8:35 AM

and then calibrate

red_one•2/24/25, 8:35 AM

the adaptive centering thing doesn't seem that accurate

I haven’t watched the video but also play with static force. I do t use any balance spring and only use static force

Bob Bushman•2/24/25, 2:29 PM

Same, with my z-extension and cm2 grip, only thing I've added is 6% static force on pitch.

VRFGiPJP•2/24/25, 7:23 PM

ReapDaddy•2/25/25, 12:09 AM

DCS creates a profile for each iteration of controller, for each plane and cockpit postion. It will automatically use that profile whenever DCS detects that controller is active. You will want to save these profiles, one for each device\plane somewhere you can get to them. I use a folder inside of my saved games folder for this.

So, I just export the profile for, say DCS F-15C then. So, how can I import it when I need it in some other sim? Thanks again

FC Technologies were kind enough to lend me their line of grips for testing and support for the next firmware revision

In the photo - NS-37, EVO and FC-35 grips.
Gotta say, the build quality feels pretty nice.

Button mapping is specific to each sim since the commands aren’t standardized. But, among the different DCS aircraft you can load a similar set up as a template.
