[eatthis]

iv just got the monster rhino ffb stick and its great, but i cant get altitude hold to work to save my life, iv got it all trimmed out and happy hands off but even then fliipping alt hold on and pressiing nws does nothing. im assuming its some quirk iim missing but what is it?

Hmm, just did a run, no problems to get Alt Hold to function, even at a pretty steep bank and/or pitch up (Got the regular Rhino, but that shouldn't matter)

Did you keybind the pinky switch?

 

Though I would point to keybinds and mods before I'd suspect the device if all other FFB values are working as intended, in the VP Force Configurator, did you check this:

I turned my motors to get as close as possible then attached the belts

(Probably could get Y a tooth closer, but I'm having no issues, so not gonna bother)

Have you set FFB implementation in F-14 special options?

VSI below 500 +/- ?

i set it, no difference, now with ap on the pitch trim does nothing, roll trim still works though
