I've hardlocked the FPS slightly below the minimum shown without lock (about 10 percent) and my graphs are now flat as... Earth.

You brutal, you take pleasure in taking away hope, huh? They could include one in with collision model in the package with module...

Can I have keybind for Collision Steering in the RIO position, please?

That's the preferred setting exactly for the reasons You said. When I'll be back "in cockpit", I'll share my settings. There's chance You'll have some better ideas than I do.

With the FFB joystick in use, the optimal cornering isn't just matter of keeping the plane at the point (energy, speed and G wise), where the tension on joystick is highest, and when the one feels that it get's lower pulling it more, means he screwed the optimal parameters, and should unload adding the power just to regain that tension?

Exactly. They're not "combatible"...

In Moza software, there's indeed separate set of parameters for jet engine rumble, but they're active when Telemetry FFB is in use. But this vibration, that you described quite accurately is evidently related to the Direct Input mode, which gets the effects from the simulator. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind this effect if I'd have FFB hardware like Rhino, but Moza AB9 doesn't feel as robust as the Rhino, and it hasn’t been on the market long enough to truly gauge its durability. At the same time, it’s expensive enough that, for someone with limited means like myself, the abundance of unnecessary features raises concerns about how long I’ll actually get to enjoy the device. Yet.

I prefer to fly on very low settings when it comes to the basic ones like spring, intertia, friction, damping and such. There are a lot of parameters in the Moza Cockpit software, but they are all grouped functionally, very clearly and comprehensively described, so it is quite easy to analyze the origin of a given effect that interests us. We could get a grip on the Discord, so I could show You how does it look on my side, and perhaps that would be beneficial for this investigation. However, I still secretly dream that maybe one of the HB representatives who are knowledgeable about the subject will jump into this topic and simplify the whole process.

@Raven (Elysian Angel) Thanks for comment, but I've already checked all the other options and this one apparently comes from the direct input, meaning the game sends this to the joystick, not the software. I tested this by turning off each of the telemetry parameters in the Moza Cockpit software and checking whether it affects the strength of this particular effect. Only the Direct Input option with the aforementioned shocks in the in-game axis binds enabled causes this shaking and it is proportional to the value of the vibration parameter set there. Switching to FFB telemetry in the Moza Cockpit only also causes this effect to disappear (similarly to turning off vibrations when using Direct Input), but also others, the lack of which significantly worsens the quality of the interaction the plane has with me using FFB. Therefore, the only sensible option for flying the F-4 is "Integrated FFB". It is true that you can set the proportions of mixing the effects from Direct Input with FFB Telemetry so that this effect is minimal while maintaining the other effects to a relatively satisfactory level, but the one coming as I assume from the engine, will still not disappear and will be felt all the time.

Forgive me for asking, but for me this is a fundamental question - is there a planned function that would allow the deck crew to be sucked into the engine?

Hello, I’d like to ask if anyone knows whether it’s possible to disable the force feedback (FFB) engine-related shaking effect. I recently switched from the G940 to the Moza AB9, and I've noticed a constant vibration during straight and level flight. This seems to be caused by direct input rather than "Telemetry FFB" settings. Disabling the in-game shaking feature (found in the axis binding settings) does stop the vibration, but unfortunately, it also removes other effects that I’d like to keep. Is there a way to disable only the engine-related shaking while preserving the rest?

The benefit from using DLC goes far over the drag it create. And as the others above stated already, airplane reaction on throttle, flaps and stabilator is pretty latent not to say sluggish on low speeds and that's where the DLC comes with succor. Without changing the approach geometry and delay, the one can put corrections to the approach path.

Gentlemen, one little correction, name of this geographical region is "Strait of Hormuz", not "straight", like the narrow passage.

All right, so I am looking forward. Thank You for the information @Zabuzard.

Hi @IronMike, Now, when the Jester is open for our scripting ambitions, would it be possible to publish the sources of official scriptis as example and support for better understanding the possiblities? In the manual, there's link to the GitHub page mentioned as dedicated place for such examples and modders to share mods, but so far it's still "the page we're not looking for", and the current examples from manual to some (like me) may seem a bit too modest... Or perhaps there's another already active place for such purposes that I am not aware of, that some good soul could point me to?

If You did not noticed, this poll is not addressed to all, but strictly to the Apache pilots. I hope, that others respondents have noticed it and those not flying Apache did not took part in it.

I am not sure what You mean by "skewed", could You elaborate please?

Sadly it's not IC compatible...

I'd like to ask how many of us are flying Apache with what type of joystick base.

This requirement and it's effect is WAY MORE obvious to the FFB users, and even me, used to the FFB, but forced for last year to fly with central trim on spring centered base was pretty tough to keep as routine for helicopter steering, so I am not really surprised, that so many people has problem with Apache stability as I assume, there's still plenty of the pilots between us using spring centered joysticks.

He seems to be not so keen to dance anymore...

Not mentioned in today's release notes, but I have feeling that FM is much more stable now.

Since I said goodbye to my HOTAS Logitech G940 with FFB a year ago and sent it into a well-deserved retirement after fifteen years of active service, looking for something to replace it, I decided to give the MongoosT-50CM3 Base with the MongoosT-50 CM2 grip, which is longer than the one in the F-16, a chance. Over the course of this year, I tried very hard to get used to the clutch and damper mechanisms available in it in various ways so that flying helicopters would resemble the time of flying with FFB and... unfortunately, I finally gave up and until last week, when I bought the Moza AB9 base, I flew in the center trim mode (instant), which was quite uncomfortable, but acceptable due to the lack of better alternatives. And unfortunately, I have to say that if you have flown with FFB and know what behavior to expect from such a system, and what's worse, you have gotten used to it, then a solution based on clutches will not be satisfactory. The worst factor for me was the lack of control precision resulting from the fact that movement along two axes required struggling with twice as much resistance from two clutches than movement along just one axis. Even zeroing the centring forces by reducing the tension on these mechanisms to zero does not change much, because then the effect of the clutches is felt even more intensely. Another thing was the lack of feeling the center point of forces with the hand, to which the helicopter was trimmed and which was the reference point for possible corrections. Especially the latter, although these are very small and subtle changes in the joystick position, becomes a significant distraction on the scale of everything that needs to be handled to keep the helicopter in stable flight or hovering. Especially in such a sensitive to control helicopter as the Apache. Therefore, if you have such an option, I would consider selling this Virpil base, and adding the appropriate amount of money to buy a base offering full FFB.

I have them, pretty solid, nice feature is that You can set width up to your preference, the only drawback is, that with time, they're becoming little squeaky in the place, where lubrication can't stay for long. If I'd have to spend this money again, I'd preffer the MFG Crosswind with Bf109 footrests.

It’s entirely plausible, for Moose, nurtured by Applevangelist, Wingthor, and their esteemed companions - pardon me for grouping them together rather than listing each one individually - is a creature that evolves with remarkable swiftness. I must admit, it’s been many months since I last explored this fascinating DESIGNATE Class, so I might be outdated a bit indeed.
