1. Effects Overview¶

This reference documents every effect and setting on the Settings tab. The pages mirror the tab itself: one page per section, entries in the same order the application lists them.

1.1 The Settings-tab sections¶

• Basic Settings - spring modes, force trim, axis control, and per-aircraft basics
• Aerodynamics - airflow forces, stall buffeting, turbulence, ETL and VRS
• Inertial - g-force, deceleration, and lateral-force effects
• Ground - runway rumble, touchdown, nosewheel shimmy, ground steering feel
• Mechanical\Airframe - engine rumble, moving surfaces and doors, damage, hydraulics
• Weapons - gunfire, weapon release, countermeasures
• Basic FFB Effects - damper, inertia, friction, deadzone (not telemetry-driven)
• System - per-aircraft VPconf profiles, gain overrides, command runner, pause behavior

1.2 Browse by simulator¶

1.3 How to read the entries¶

Each effect entry opens with a badge line showing which simulators it applies to - DCS IL2 BMS MSFS XP - and which device types can use it. Below the description, a table lists the effect’s sub-settings; its Sims column shows “—” when a sub-setting matches its parent, and names the sims only where it differs - that column is where the per-sim nuances live.

Not every effect exists everywhere, and a shared name does not always mean identical behavior: some effects work from different telemetry per sim and expose different sub-settings (AoA/Stall Buffeting is the classic example). Where behavior differs, the entry says so in a Per-sim behavior note, and the simulator guides carry the depth.
