  • Page 29: Rs_Hid_Dev_Tool And Fssb-R3L

    PICTURE DESCRIPTION Overview RS_HID_DEV_TOOL is a GUI developed by RealSimulator to facilitate the configuration of devices manufactured by RealSimulator. In general, it allows calibrating, customizing and adjusting easily the different options offered by the device to get the maximum performance from your hardware.

  • Page 30: The Rs_Hid_Dev_Tool Program

    To start, launch the RS_HID_DEV_TOOL application by double clicking the RS_HID_DEV_TOOL desktop icon or click the Windows START button and select All Apps > Realsimulator > RS_HID_DEV_TOOL. If the User Account Control window appears, click YES to continue. Select the “FSSB R3 RH” tab and you should see the following window, where we have identified with numbers the different information and configuration areas.

    Falcon BMS only supported a maximum of 32 buttons per HID, so if you have installed an old program version, it will be necessary update it to the last version. Other new feature included in this firmware is that it supports the new RealSimulator v2 grips with haptic feedback.
  • Page 35 Special Modes Menu as with the classic firmwares. In any way, if you are going to connect a RS grip to the FSSB-R3 Lighting this firmware allows you to play without connection problems because the FSSB-R3L assumes all the stick functions and the Bluetooth connection isn’t necessary.
  • Page 36 FSSB-R3L with a TM compatible grip As you can see, the new FSSB-R3 RH tab includes new functionalities as keystrokes, macros, overlay generation and other new settings. Every FSSB-R3L slot has the following settings: • HAT as POV or TRIM. •...
  • Page 37 When you plug in the FSSB-R3L with this firmware installed to an USB port, the joystick will be displayed in Windows and all applications that can handle HID devices, with the name “FSSB R3 MJF SGRH”, as you can see in the next image in the Game Controllers window.

  • Page 38: Rs_Hid_Dev_Tool And Fssb-R3L + Rs Grips

    RS_HID_DEV_TOOL and FSSB-R3L + RS Grips There are two important concepts that you need to know before starting with the explanation of how this FSSB-R3L firmware and RS_HID_DEV_TOOL work. The first one is that the RS_HID_DEV_TOOL application can work in two modes selectable by buttons: in Configuration Mode and in Game Mode.
  • Page 39 The program saves the information in two places: a) On the computer, in an .xml file, in the folder %APPDATA%\Realsimulator Data\FSSB R3. Here, it saves the configuration settings, the keystrokes and the explanations associated with all slots.

  • Page 40: How This Firmware Works

    How this firmware works From the point of view of FSSB-R3L, the RS grip is a grip with buttons and hats and a rotary switch. The Rotary switch is placed under the TRIM hat switch cap, as a black ring with rotary movement, and it allows, with a single thumb movement, to swap between the 8 configurable memory slots that the FSSB R3L has, allowing to reconfigure your...
  • Page 41 In normal operation (with the RS_HID_DEV_TOOL closed) you can change its settings immediately with the rotary switch, selecting another slot. When the RS_HID_DEV_TOOL is opened the user can change the settings of this area with the buttons and numeric Up/down controls to configure it. Finally with the Save button can save the configuration in the non-volatile area.
  • Page 42 (Instant = changed, Memory = unchanged, Flash = unchanged) 3. Change the Roll sensitivity to 1,97 lb (Instant = changed, Memory = unchanged, Flash = unchanged) 4. Click the Save button to pass the information from Instant area to the slot memory in Memory area and in Flash memory.

  • Page 43: Slot Configuration

    confirmation will be sent. (Instant = unchanged, Memory = unchanged, Flash = changed) 7. Finally, you should save the configuration in a file on your computer to restore it when you want, or to share it with your friends. To do this, click File in the upper menu bar and select Save to keep the file name or Save As to change it, and press Save in the folder dialog to finish.

  • Page 44: Full Scale Control (Fsc)

    In every slot you can configure the following: a) Analog settings: • Full Scale Control. • Roll Sensitivity. • NASA Roll sensibility. • Pitch Sensitivity. • NASA Pitch Sensibility. • Roll Control Assistance. • BFA Roll level. • BFA Pitch level. •...

  • Page 45: Roll Sensibility

    FSC = 4:4 FSC = 2:4 ROLL SENSIBILITY This control allows changing the Roll axis sensibility in discrete steps from 1.30 lb. to 13 lb. The step value is not fixed; it is variable in function of sensibility value. It goes from small values of 0,025 lb.

  • Page 46: Pitch Sensibility

    In short, since your arm is stronger when pulling inward than outward, they found that making rolling right more sensitive than rolling left was more ergonomic. Rolling left, the stick had a maximum displacement at 8 lbs. Rolling right, the stick had a maximum displacement at 6 lbs.

  • Page 47: Roll Control Assistance (Rca)

    Equal to in the previous NASA Roll adjust, if you want to adjust more realistically your stick, adjust the NASA Pitch sensibility between a value of 110% and a 133% and find the more comfortable value for you. ROLL CONTROL ASSISTANCE (RCA) This feature enables (ON) and disables (OFF) the Roll Control Assistance.

  • Page 48: Roll And Pitch Trim

    This feature allows the user to reduce the sensitivity of the axes to increase precision in maneuvers that require precise or small inputs, such a refueling. The feature is activated through an ON/OFF button and the sensitivity reduction is shown numerically in a text box and modified with an Up/Down indicator. “Trigger 1” enables/disables the feature while it is pressed, i.e., if you enable this feature by setting the button in ON, when you press the trigger button, the axes measures will be reduced to the percent selected in the value textbox.

  • Page 49: Keystrokes On/Off

    Hardware TRIM selects a different option than None. With the system enabled you can use the TRIM hat switch to manual and slowly trim the attitude of your plain in the axes selected by the selector or to apply a correction over a previous trim value. Additionally to this previous way to trim the plain, there is another fast possibility to trim the plain attitude;...

    HAT POV Up in POV mode HAT POV Up in TRIM mode DX Trim buttons are always operatives whether the HAT button is on TRIM or POV option; POV (Point of View) option is only operative when HAT button is on POV. SOUND (ON/OFF) Let you activate and deactivate the beep sound.

  • Page 51: Dx Center Buttons Mode

    DX buttons in OFF DX buttons in ON Finally, the animated area with the joystick does not show actions when disabled. DX CENTER BUTTONS MODE The F16SGRH has hat switches in TRIM, RW, NWS, TMS, DMS, CMS, PADLE and PINKY switches as you can see in the image below. Each hat switch has 5 positions: up, right, down, left and center, although some of them don’t use the 5 positions.
  • Page 52 In ON mode, all center positions are enabled. This mode is also called Native mode because all assigned combinations are available. In COMP mode, all hat switches work as in the real stick, i.e. when you press the NWS switch only the DX button 1 is enabled, it does not matter in what direction you press the hat switch, only the DX button 1 is enabled.

  • Page 53: Warning Sound Level

    button press. In the image below, you can see in orange color the center positions available only by double click. This mode corrects the problem of sending false DX buttons that happens in ON mode when you press a combined action of center + another position. For example, in ON mode, when you press to activate the DX button 48 (WR Center + Up), the DX buttons 1 and 48 are active.

  • Page 54: Keystrokes And Explanations

    We have implemented this feature in the FSSB-R3L with a warning sound and a light blinking. The level is showed on a textbox and the selection is done with the Up/Down indicator associated, with range of 1% to 99% in steps of 1%. Value in textbox of 1% disables the feature both for the warning and for the maximum alarm.
  • Page 55 is saved in volatile memory, but it is only saved in flash memory when you press the alert button (for a more detailed explanation, please visit the section “How this firmware works”) and it is saved to a file when press File > Save. As said in other sections of User Guide, remember to save in both parts regularly.
  • Page 56 Next, with the button “Explanation/Keystrokes” in Explanation, click the text box assigned to the DX button lighted and a new window will be displayed to enter the key codes sequence. In the window, you find information about the Actual Key Code assigned to the DX button, the standard buttons “CANCEL”...
  • Page 57 Finally, you can check the keystroke operation. For that, click the CLEAR button associated to the Output text box to clear its content and press the “Trigger 1” switch in the stick and check that the key codes entered are shown in the“Output” text box. To send the keystrokes, it is necessary to have the Keystrokes button ON.
  • Page 58 IMPORTANT: Key codes input in the InputKeyScan window is made according to the key map of USA keyboard, this is used in the games to assign actions to keys. Below is an image of this US key map. And here, as an example a keyboard map of DCS for the A-10 Warthog. As you can check, both key maps have the same keyboard symbol layout, so users with this keyboard have the keys in the same place than the game keyboard map.

  • Page 59: Macros

    In conclusion, all you need for a correct operation is the keyboard map of the game or a USA keyboard layout printed and you can press on your keyboard the key of the game key map although it is different. Here you have a link to download and print the USA keyboard layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_and_American_keyboards#/media/File:KB_United_States-NoAltGr.svg MACROS...
  • Page 60 The system allows configuring up to a maximum of 10 macros (0 to 9) selectable with the numeric Up/Down control Macro Num. Below the numeric control, there is a text box where the user can write a title to easily remember the macro function. Each macro can accept 20 configurable events and each event can use a Key code and a Delay in 1/10 seconds during which the keystroke will be sent.
  • Page 61 We have assigned a time of 1/10 seconds as time to send each keystroke. Also, you can see you forgot to include the time of 2 seconds the simulator needs to execute the keystroke “A”. To solve this problem, you can use the extra actions assigned to the right mouse button: Insert, Delete and Exit.
  • Page 62 When you click “0”, all windows are closed automatically and the text box assigns the “MACRO,0”, as you can see in the picture below. Now, it is time to test the macro. For that, press Trigger 1 (DX button 0) and verify the sequence and times in the output window.

    This haptic vibrational feedback is only available in the Realsimulator v2 grips. At this moment, the feature is already associated to the warning and maximum force signals, by generating two continuous vibrations of different levels. This feature complements the existing Light and Sound features and offers a clear feedback to the VR users.

    Setting up your game for the FSSB-R3L EMYCSA RealSimulator Date: 29-12-2022 Version: 3.01 PICTURE DESCRIPTION Overview This section is focused mainly for beginners to give them a first overview on how to configure the main flight simulation games to integrate correctly the FSSB-R3L.
  • Page 93 As you can see there are three game devices connected to the computer: the F16SGRH, the FSSB-R3 Lighting and the TUSBA for the F-16 throttle. As you have already read in this document we suggest unpairing the F16SGRH if we use it with the FSSB-R3L to avoid duplication of information.

  • Page 96 Manual.pdf”) where you will find an extensive explanation about the how to do it. If you have a FSSB-R3 Warthog or a FSSB-R3 Lighting with the classic firmwares, your device are not able to send keystrokes, so you will need to use the DX buttons.
  • Page 97 • Click on the Import Key File button to import the key file, in our example “BMS – Full.key”. • Verify the M3 cell show in green the text: “Imported Key File is OK”. • Select the TM Warthog tab and choose the option Warthog Stick only. This file only use the 19 first DX buttons, if you want use the rest of available buttons you will have to modify the profile creating a new profile from this one in the existing tabs named Own #1 to Own #10.

Fortunatly it is already done the great work of generate the files and the keyboard layout to help us. We will show with an example how to add a new action to to our FSSB-R3L, we are going to add the action “EJECT”...

    After click the OK button you can check it in BMS Falcon. As you can see, it is a very easy method and also allows you introduce until 8 x 64 differents actions. Finally, as general rule, don’t forget disabling always the DX Button button in the slot where you use Keystrokes.

  • Page 101: Axes

    Sim on the Aircraft Control Mode drop down. AXES In our example, we will use the two axes of FSSB-R3L for Pitch and Roll, that as you have seen before they are located in the first HID device of FSSB R3L. For throttle we will use the TUSBA device.

    well configured (green boxes) but the Throttle axis is bad assigned, it is assigned to JOY_RZ and it must be JOY_RY; so first we will delete the actual axis and after we will assign the axis to the correct value by double click over the box and selecting JOY_RY. We have finished the axes configuration, so it is a good moment to save our configuration by click on the SAVE PROFILE AS with the name F16_Sample.

  • Page 103: Dx Buttons

    And this will be the definitive configuration after delete the default non valid assignations. DX BUTTONS Now we will see an example about how to assign a button to an action. We wil assign the individual Up and Down Landing Gear movement to the Up and Dow switches of Weapon Release swicth (I am doing the example with a F16SGRH grip).

  • Page 104: Keystrokes

    We will repeat the action wiht the Landing Gear Down to finish. KEYSTROKES You can only use this method to generate actions if you have a FSSB-R3 Lighting with a firmware installed with support for keystrokes generation as the released MJF_F16- 18_4 that has keyboard emulation.
  • Page 105 When complete the profile you can test it on the Ouput box and if every is OK, don’t forget to save the profile. As general rule, I suggest to disable the DX Button button in the slot where you use Keystrokes to prevent undesirable actions.
