I installed the damper along with the default light spring. I’m finding that at the lowest damper setting (0 of 23) that the spring is unable to return to the center detent. I dont want to use the stronger spring. Is this behaviour expected, or do most find it always returns to the center with the damper in place? A possible expected behaviour is the user is expected to return to the center (as oposed to taking feet off) & the damper just provides resistance.
What cam are you using?
I also have the damper. I installed the cam with the least ‘return to center’ profile (sorry, not sure which number that is…) and the light spring, and mine definitely doesn’t snap back to center.
i also am using the return to center profile. Return works as expected with no damper.
I’m not sure which spring I have installed, or which cam (the number is covered when installed), but I believe I have paired the heavy spring with the cam with the shallowest detent. With the damper on the lightest setting, the spring will return the pedals to center. When I’m flying helos, all I have to do is tighten the damper roughly 10 clicks, and the pedals stay in place with only a minimal amount of push required. If I let my feet off, they will slowly return to center.
I’m using the LOWEST ‘return to center’ profile. I can hardly feel when I’m at center.

I have the Thrustmaster TPR’s. I removed the springs and added a damper. The pedals stay put when I remove my feet. I actually prefer it that way.
I have my string set quite loose, just enough to take up tension. I then cranked the damper up until it could stop me being able to slam he rudder from side to side too fast. It’s been ages since I looked at it but it’s probably on 6 or 7 I expect. Will confirm tomorrow.
