1. Ground Effects¶

Effects for the aircraft’s interaction with the surface, in the order they appear under the Ground section of the Settings tab. The badge lines and sub-setting tables are generated from the application’s settings catalog, so they always match the app.

1.1 Runway Rumble¶

DCS BMS MSFS XP · Joystick, Pedals

Rolling vibration while taxiing, taking off, and landing - intensity follows the surface and speed.

Sub-setting	Sims	What it does
Runway Rumble	—	Peak runway rumble intensity

1.2 Touch-Down Effect¶

DCS BMS MSFS XP · Joystick

A single jolt at the moment of touchdown, scaled by how hard you land: the force ramps up to Max Force as the landing g reaches Max G’s. Grease it on and you barely feel it; slam it down and you will.

Sub-setting	Sims	What it does
Touch-Down Max Force	—	Max force that will be used to generate effect
Touch-Down Max G’s	—	G loading where max force will be reached

1.3 Nosewheel Shimmy¶

MSFS XP · Pedals

Pedal vibration simulating nosewheel shimmy under braking: it triggers only above a minimum speed and beyond a minimum brake application.

Sub-setting	Sims	What it does
Nosewheel Shimmy	—	Max intensity of shimmy effect
Nosewheel Shimmy min brakes	—	Minimum brake percent required to trigger shimmy effect
Nosewheel Shimmy min speed	—	Speed threshold below which the shimmy effect will not be triggered regardless of brakes

1.4 Steering Friction (Experimental)¶

MSFS XP · Pedals

Ground steering feel for the pedals: friction that is heavy at taxi speed and decays as the aircraft accelerates and the nosewheel unloads, plus a steering-gear centering spring.

Note

Requires the Friction Override to be enabled - this effect scales the Configurator friction value.

Sub-setting	Sims	What it does
Steering Friction Intensity	—	Max intensity of steering friction (% of configurator friction value)
Steering Friction Expo	—	Controls decay rate of friction with speed. 0 = linear, gradual decay, -1.0 = very quick decay
Steering Gear Spring	—	Strength of steering gear spring
