Does the Virpil Software allow adjustment of axis center?

[Jyge]

I saw that Virpil has Black Friday discount. I fly quite a bit of helis, so I would be interested to know, if there is a way to move virtually the axis center preferably with shortcut keys. I am looking for rudder pedals and it would be nice take the load off from rudder axis, if the centering spring is too powerful.

you mean in game without re-calibration? not that i am aware of

but doesn't the trim function do that in DCS

?

If there is a rudder trim available on a particular aircraft. 
 

If you take gazelle for example, it does not trim the tail rotor and depending on speed or situation you need constant rudder input. This is a little bit irritating as with the PC pedals, if you have strong centering spring you need to use constant force. In a real aircraft/helicopter you might also need an input but it might be that the aerodynamic forces or control forces are actually close to zero in that deflected position as you are actually in an equilibrium.

If you order Virpil Ace Pedals with the damper upgrade, I think you can remove the spring and it shouldn't return to center, which I believe is what you're asking for.

Yes, that is probably the best solution!

I believe you can in the virpil software:

 

Select Z Axis (Doubleclick)

 

Next screen change "Output %"" on center value (I put in 30%):

 

The thin line will be your new center once you save and write to rom

 

As evidenced here in VPC Joystick tester

I have MFG Crosswind pedals with damper and removing the centre spring is perfect for rotary.
