DCS FFB data?

Hardware & Tech Questions DIY
1

As I get more use out of my force trim cyclic/stick (see thread here for details: 737DIYSim Bell 212 Cyclic Build Thread) I have been tinkering with adding functionality. So onto the current question, how does one get FFB data out of DCS? I’m not looking at having true FFB, the tolerances in the gearing surfaces being plastic are far too big for that to be anything close to accurate. Rather I’d like to be able to implement things like a stick shaker, or in the CH-47 the DASH which moves the cyclic back as speed increases to allow for a more natural stick position when at high speed level flight.

Thanks!

there is an option in the misc. options for force feedback… not sure if it is needed but you can set the trim for your stick for the planes that use it.

Pretty sure the modern sticks use the LUA interface that the sim exposes (probably a better way to say that? I think LUA is just the scripting language?)

You might look at the FFB Rhino github for inspiration, though he might have privated that after Moza just straight lifted his code (allegedly)… or just hit him up on the Rhino discord?
