Here are some more useful links: The trick with USB tethering works really well, with a 10G USB3 cable you can get stable 1200 Mbps main throughput that won't vary like a WiFi connection. To easily switch to USB tethering, use the link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PUTpT9boTKssDXQ2qUCLxOKM3LPxQtlA/view?usp=sharing Install the .apk and you get normal Android options. Important after this, is to check Windows network settings and set this new network to private. Virtual Desktop will switch to this connection after a short moment and you can disable Wifi on your Pico 4.

Works like a charm right from the start. Nice!

@ViboraThanks! It's working again.

That's good news. I hope it's coming soon.

If there is a broken record, it's the Gazelle module.

@MAXsenna Yes, it's only related to the F1. What you describe is totally normal behaviour for a good amount of time now. In the main menu springs are off, as soon as you enter a cockpit the spring forces become active (depending on the module, for instance, in a WW2 plane on ground - the stick will stay limb if you are not moving.)

To translate the posted discord channel information, the information between the lines: with Kinkku PC might have a programmer now, with the crucial ability to do a helicopter flight model. For the first time in 8 years. Oh man...

@BIGNEWYWhy isn't this thread marked as 'reported' yet? They messed up a core functionality of DCS within two of the latest open beta patches already. Never seen something like that in 13 years (and i own all DCS modules).

Ahrg, i hope Aerges is not taking the wrong road at the moment and tries to support Brunner devices when the community asks for more FFB functionality. @ViboraBrunner FFB joystick bases are not working natively with directinput FFB! (wich is directly implemented in DCS) Big difference!

@Vibora Any info what's going on? Without FFB springs the module is practically unplayable.

Since the latest update my FFB stick has no spring effect in the F1, it works in all the other modules.

360 video, you can look around and down at the cyclic all the time. Look how loose it is and how far it needs to be moved all the time and trimmed later (when he takes his hands off). See that there is no constant rolling in the direction the cyclic is offset from center and it has to be pushed and trimmed forward to get and hold speed. The Gazelle in DCS can't be further away from the real thing and it's 6 years already.

@Schlomo1933 is 100% right. Until today, there have never been any helicopter genes in PC's flight models.

Roughness for cockpit textures is still off, did ED really not attempt to fix this for so long?

Nothing on the user side, procedures or tinkering with axis settings, will change the absence of a helicopter flight model.

@BIGNEWY It just happened again and has nothing to do with the Syria map. 4YA Cold War training on Caucasus, with 8 players online... Took maybe 30 minutes, game just halted. Logfile says nothing suspicious. Didn't have such problem for a very long time.

Encountered a freeze because of VRAM memory leak yesterday. With a RTX3090 (24GB!)... Definitely something wrong with the latest update! (open Beta)

Yeah, i got the first unit a couple months ago. Check the thread i linked for the VPforce discord invite, there is a lot of information available and you can talk to more owners of the prebuilt base and DIY kits.

You cannot get past the fundamental inaccuracy of the FM. Full stop.

Don't sweat it to much guys. FFB is on it's way back and it will not be the toy-grade from 10-20 years ago: 9 NM torque is really remarkable, i love my VPforce Rhino base so much. There are also rumors that WinWing will develop a FFB base...

Join the VPforce discord and check the much better and cheaper Rhino FFB base or DIY kit: https://discord.gg/XEXZmQHk3T

Oh please, don't bring back the cotton balls!

Times have changed:

@Roller25Walmis has a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/walmis/featured

I forgot to mention that i really like that the housing is made of wood. Overall, the processing of the unit as a whole, is made with love and high level craftmanship.
