Virpil VFX Slider Calibration

[Belphe]

Does anyone know how Virpil Calibration works inside their software? I'm using the F-14 Stick and have mapped the DLC to the slider on the grip as axis. Unfortunately, the physical centre is not where the digital one is, as seen in the attached screenshot. For the manoeuvre flaps not to deploy or DLC not to act I had to create a 15% deadzone.. I'd like to have a 3% deadzone instead :)

 

 

Please assist.

 

Thanks

I await an answer as well. My Virpil base was way out of whack in their software. Freaked me out but didn’t (and still don’t) know how to adjust.

It does seem to center fine in DCS fwiw but....

Got it to work as intended! :) Here is what I did:

 

In VPC Configuration Tool I selected "Axis" on the left and then "Calibrate Axis". Then I double clicked on the axis from the list I had problems with - in my case this was "Slider". In the portion of the screen called "Calibration" I noticed Min and Max values. Not sure if they were automatically determined or they were actually the minimum and maximum values I managed to achieve by moving the controller earlier. Either way, in the "Axis source" part of that page I noticed an entry called "Sensor Raw Value". This was the input value of the sensor at that moment. Since my controls were centred this was the sweet spot I was after. All I needed to do was change the "Center" value from "Calibration" to the one from "Axis source". Last thing was calibrating the whole stick and all it's axis in Windows. After that was done the centre of the Slider axis on the VFX was where I wanted it to be in the first place.

 

Hope my findings help you :)
