in what way do you mean m8? I have the vkb mcgu & v2 kg12 grips & gladiator base, if you want to know anything about them I can tell you whatever I know that may help you, but as far as their software is concerned all I know is the very basics & that it seems very powerful

PiNKSH!TOP•2/3/23, 2:15 PM

After running the main.py I get a small window flash up for a brief moment then after that how do I know if it worked? just go in game & see if I get effects?

skyPickle•2/3/23, 5:19 PM

The small window becomes big and filled w words and changing numbers

How quick is it to switch the vkb adapter back to the standard one, (tm/virpil) one

How long is the process? 5min or more?

peachmonkey•2/3/23, 9:34 PM

as fast as you can unscrew a big locking ring

ddrake1984•2/3/23, 9:35 PM

If I wanted to go from virpil to vkb and back again, are we talking seconds or longer?

peachmonkey•2/3/23, 9:35 PM

seconds, yes

Vulcan•2/3/23, 9:35 PM

The larger issue is making sure you go slow and don't bend the pins, also the 3d printed threads might wear over time, need to be careful not to cross thread with the plastic on metal connections especially

Vulcan•2/3/23, 9:36 PM

I hate the mini din connection

ddrake1984•2/3/23, 9:36 PM

Yeah, the threading is why I want metal thread, but walmis isnt planning on doing that

peachmonkey•2/3/23, 9:36 PM

there are no pins on virpil connection embedded in the base, it's a female socket

peachmonkey•2/3/23, 9:37 PM

the grip/extension is obviously male

Vulcan•2/3/23, 9:37 PM

Yeah at least you don't have to worry about damaging the rhino, you might break the adapter or your grip though

peachmonkey•2/3/23, 9:40 PM

yup, be nice with the printed adapters...

Vulcan•2/3/23, 9:43 PM

Vkb has the best connector, unfortunately I only have winwing and TM grips, prefer the A10/F16 style

yeah, agreed

skyPickle•2/3/23, 11:42 PM

vkb iis prone to damage by the pins as the connection may gouge if the grip wobbles

ddrake1984•2/4/23, 1:38 AM

I usually tighten down the grip firmly before using it, so that's never going to be an issue

PiNKSH!TOP•2/4/23, 3:37 AM

sorry m8 I crashed out last night. As other guys told you above it's a very easy & quick swap for the vkb adapter, also cause it's a by-pass through to the vkb blackbox I would imagine you can leave your vkb grip plugged into the BB still if you wish to go back to that grip possibly without needing to plug it back in? Also because you're swapping out the extension for the virpil one the vkb adapter can just remain attached to the vkb extension.

ddrake1984•2/4/23, 6:15 AM

anyone got pics to share of the adapter specifically?

ddrake1984•2/4/23, 6:15 AM

curious how it attaches/detaches

AndyHill•2/4/23, 10:36 AM

it quite simply screws in

AndyHill•2/4/23, 10:37 AM

it's just like a TM connector, there's just no electronical connection involved

AndyHill•2/4/23, 10:38 AM

you just set it in the position you want and screw it in until there is enough friction to hold it in place

ddrake1984•2/4/23, 11:48 AM

a picture would be great

Vulcan•2/4/23, 12:59 PM

ddrake1984•2/4/23, 1:19 PM

ah nice, do you have a pic from underneath the adapter?

Vulcan•2/4/23, 1:25 PM

here is my winwing adapter which is probably similar if not identical

Vulcan•2/4/23, 1:25 PM

Vulcan•2/4/23, 1:27 PM

Standard TM / Virpil 5-pin mini-DIN style

Ye Old Grog•2/4/23, 1:28 PM

It's basically that without the bolted in middle section. There is nothing on the bottom of the VKB adapter

AndyHill•2/6/23, 4:46 PM

At what temps do the overheat protections kick in and what do they do?

walmis•2/6/23, 5:11 PM

It ramps down max current from 50degC IIRC

walmis•2/6/23, 5:11 PM

It's not sudden like in the brunner, but very gradual

AndyHill•2/6/23, 5:12 PM

is there a log or something you can examine afterwards, in VR monitoring things in real time is slightly cumbersome

walmis•2/6/23, 5:13 PM

Not yet, but a good idea for next version!

Jaeger•2/6/23, 8:05 PM

Is there somewhere a kind of an manual? I fiddle a lot with the settings, but I'm not completely sure how interact with each other. Would be nice to get a better understanding of the possibilities of the software. I watched this "beginners" YouTube, but like I said, still scratching my head.

Vulcan•2/6/23, 8:18 PM

No, Walmis said he would create a better tutorial/ manual at some point but for now just read the previous posts in here.

Vulcan•2/6/23, 8:18 PM

Fly a bit with the default settings then get a feel for what you feel like you're missing and would want to tweak then see if there is a setting for that

is it using noctua fans? or something else?

Also if you hover mouse on the controls there are tooltip popups that might help somewhat.

PiNKSH!TOP•2/7/23, 8:21 AM

not sure what I've done wrong but during the f18 tutorials I'm not getting any ffb effects, I'm double clicking main.py in the telemetry app folder, I get a window that flashes up for a moment then closes, am I doing something wrong?

walmis•2/7/23, 8:37 AM

yeah, it doesn't run like that for some reason. I'll need to look into it. Run python main.pypython main.py from powershell meanwhile.
