Hello,
as a strong fan of FFB-systems when using racing-simulations i allways miss them when using flight-simulators.
I tried to contact Ian of BFF-Simulation because i want to build a FFB-system based on his boards and software.
Unfortunately, i don´t get in contact with Ian until now.
As far as i know, his software needs/uses FSUIPC as base. In case of XP, there has to be an installation of XPUIPC.
Has anyone here an idea, how likely it is, that only the working FSUIPC for FS2020 will be enough to make such a system work ?
Ok, i know, this i maybe not he first adress for such a question, but:
The hope is, what dies last ! ;-)
Best regards
Stefan
3-axis Trimm-device: How to use best in MSFS ?
in FSUIPC7 MSFS
Posted
Hello,
today i finished my 3-axis trimm-device, which a build up as a first step of building a BFF-Force-feedback-System.
I used a Leo-Bodnar-Board and 3 pcs. of 10-turns-Potentiometers, as suggested by Leo.
Connecting and calibration worked well, but when it comes to the "control-assignment" in MSFS, there is only the elevatror trimm with an possible assignment as -100% to +100%-Axis.
So for now, elevator-trimm works, but how to assign the other two axis ?
Can i assign them via FSUIPC as second inputs for the aileron and rudder ?
And what about sensitivity ? The elevator-trimmwheel seems to be over-sensitive, and the sensitivity-adjustments of MSFS seem to be not usable for a trimm-input.
Is it correct, that i can handle this via FSUIPC too ? Making a curve with less sensitivity during the middle 2 turns ?
I am hoping for solutions, becausebeside those problems, my new system feels fine.
Build up a sheet-metal-box out of Stainless-steel, the trimm-wheels are 3D-printed with a steel-body inside ( adds inertia ! ). Each axis is build up with 2 ball-bearings and an overload-protection for the potentiometers.
The Cover-plate is easy interchangeable for having different switch/button-layouts without manipulation the box-design.
The system is designed for use in a lowered position beside my chair or onm the desktop.
If there is any demand for this, i can provide kits or completely assembled systems in the future. ( Have allready 5 sets of metal-parts)
I am on travel for the next 6 days, and i am excited to finish and/or finetune the system after coming home.
Best regards
Stefan
