for now, DCS has intensity settings for trim forces and effect forces for each module in axis control options. here you can basically set fine nuances for every module.

BBowser My question is for the Hornet. Is the FBW artificial feel modeled for ffb? Li...

Vladinsky•5/16/22, 1:02 PM

This is modeled, but it happens on the FCS side. The hornet stick has feel springs for the artificial feel, it doesn't change.

Otto•5/16/22, 1:04 PM

That's true... I've yet to have played with those. Guess now that we'll have a stronger feedback, we'll have a purpose for using those features in DCS.

walmis•5/16/22, 1:04 PM

I'm still thinking how to go about implementing it

walmis•5/16/22, 1:04 PM

Maybe some sort of easy scripting support

FFlashgod_VR the telemetry stuff would need different profiles in the VPforce software...

Otto•5/16/22, 1:04 PM

Right... That's what I had in mind.

Flashgod_VROP•5/16/22, 1:04 PM

@rcflyer40t yeah, it's basically a balance setting.

FFlashgod_VR @rcflyer40t yeah, it's basically a balance setting.

Yep

@walmis

walmis•5/16/22, 1:12 PM

Those are all rumble effects by my guess ?

Flashgod_VROP•5/16/22, 1:13 PM

yes, many many parameters and different quantities for each module

Flashgod_VROP•5/16/22, 1:13 PM

highly customizable of course

Flashgod_VROP•5/16/22, 1:14 PM

take it slow

Flashgod_VROP•5/16/22, 1:14 PM

no pressure

Flashgod_VROP•5/16/22, 1:19 PM

the thing is, they are also directional. bomb dropped from left wing, G-force build up in your back or in the left leg ... etc.

Flashgod_VROP•5/16/22, 1:23 PM

maybe a Rhino-plugin for Simshakers would be a good approach, this way they can't interfere with each other.

This project is very interesting to me. I'll definitely be keeping in the loop.

Vakarian•5/17/22, 11:00 AM

Oh, this is something that I've been following for a while back on ED forums. So glad it came to life like this. I just hope that in near future there will be a option to just mount (not necessarily support) VKB grips. I do have MGC Ultimate and it blows Virpil stick completely out of the water. Virpil is way too small for my hand and its switches are too mushy. So if there will be a way to just mount it on Rhino base with me routing the connection to the blackbox separately, it would be great.

I just need to save a bit of cash, dropped 850e on Virpil collective and buttonbox 2 weeks ago...

Flashgod_VROP•5/18/22, 3:14 PM

@viper1970 hi there, i guess one of the DIY kits would fit perfectly for your project.

Frenchy•5/18/22, 6:09 PM

Ok, so I have a new question:
I guess you get to bind a button on your grip to work as a trim release for the Rhino base, right?
Will you still be able to bind that same button to the trim release in DCS?

walmis•5/18/22, 6:13 PM

The trim release is all handled by DCS natively. The Rhino doesn't currently have HW trim in firmware (which would be useful if the game doesn't support FFB natively)

Frenchy•5/18/22, 6:14 PM

Oooh ok!

Flashgod_VROP•5/18/22, 6:22 PM

@crifort that's why it is the Brunner Killer.

(native directinput FFB)

Flashgod_VROP•5/18/22, 6:26 PM

another benefit in DCS is that trim release also commands the internal FCS system (in the Ka-50 for instance). it's not like with the Brunner, trimmed from the "outside", which basically only forces the stick to stay in a certain position.

Frenchy•5/18/22, 8:02 PM

That's why I was asking

walmis•5/19/22, 5:55 AM

@everyone Could anyone share the technical dimensions for the VKB mount from the base side with some photos if possible (or maybe CAD if one has it)

Woodspeople•5/19/22, 6:00 AM

Lent my vkb base to a friend, so nothing from me unfortunately. I modeled an adapter for grips but that likely isn't useful and I can't guarantee accuracy (did fit fine on my gimbal)

Wwalmis @everyone Could anyone share the technical dimensions for the VKB mount from the...

Frenchy•5/19/22, 7:48 AM

I talked with @rcflyer40t , I can send you myspare extension, that way you'll have both sides of the connector

walmis•5/19/22, 7:52 AM

Yeah that'd be useful, I could develop an adapter to help route the signal wires to the black box

Propeler3D•5/19/22, 8:21 AM

Why not to buy VKB extender and canibalize it?

Propeler3D•5/19/22, 8:22 AM

Propeler3D•5/19/22, 8:23 AM

Or even only remove lower part of it and connect it directly to gimbal

PPropeler3D Why not to buy VKB extender and canibalize it?

walmis•5/19/22, 10:53 AM

For one-off project that might be ok, but that's unsustainable if you need more than one

Frenchy•5/19/22, 11:44 AM

To clear things up, we'd wouldn't need the Gunfighter base, just the black box?

walmis•5/19/22, 11:44 AM

yeah

Frenchy•5/19/22, 11:45 AM

chungus object-77b finally starting to come together!

Need better sensors though, these crappy hall effects get pretty low resolution with only +/-18 degrees of throw on the stick.

That chungus gimbal would very well mate with those big chungus 86BLF motors

ARMORINE | Silver 1-2•5/19/22, 7:16 PM

What’s the max resistance possible with the current ffb setup?

ARMORINE | Silver 1-2•5/19/22, 7:17 PM

I was looking at building my own using hoverboard motors I’ve modified. I can push around 10nm from them but haven’t ran the calc for max force after gearing. Also not sure they will have anywhere near the response the 86blf motors will
