Hey guys does anyone have experience with HID hide? I've hit the 8 peripheral limit in IL2 & I want to use the VPforce loopback app & HID hide to make my vkb grip & the Rhino base show as one & IL2 not to see my VKB independently. Any help would be great, cheers

Ok, interesting bug I came across -- in Team Speak -- I can't assign any rhino buttons to hotkeys. It's like they somehow don't register a press up event or something? hard for me to explain, but i basically can't setup any push to talk binds in team speak using joystick buttons attached to the rhino. When I press the button to record a press, the gray box appears, and when i press a button on the rhino, either one of two things will happen: nothing will register, or if something does register, it won't dismiss the dialog, requiring me to press another button (like mouse button or a keyboard button that then turns it into a combo

Jon (Bounty_V)•2/27/23, 8:28 AM

Had you tried a workaround of setting the button in question to function as a key on your keyboard?

amadeus•2/27/23, 8:31 AM

My current workaround has been to map it to a button on my virpil throttle for now

ddrake1984•2/27/23, 9:09 AM

Map to Voicattack and Map back

yeh i tried it but turning it on/off was intrusive - instead i got a usb hub with a single on off switch and plugged my cougar flight panels and homemade arduino boxes into it. now before flying IL2, i can quickly and easily switch off a bunch of controllers

Have you looked into using vJoy and Joystick Gremlin?

PiNKSH!TOP•2/27/23, 4:39 PM

no I never really looked into them, can I use them to combine multiple peripherals into one?

indifferent badger•2/27/23, 4:40 PM

I believe so yes.

Joystick Gremlin - Quick Start Guide

In this video we walk through the basic setup and configuration of Joystick Gremlin, including HidHide and VJOY. We'll give you the break down on how to hide physical joysticks from a game and consolidate them down to virtual joysticks, mouse & keyboard.

amadeus•2/27/23, 6:28 PM

What does this entail? Although of course, ideally, it's probably properly fixed with something in the Rhino firmware? It's weird cause no other game or app has any problem with the Rhino thonk

(TrackIR is fine, all the sims I've played are fine, Discord shortcut support with a controller works fine..., Joystick Gremlin works fine....)

smitty•2/27/23, 7:37 PM

yep i do this too, make a vjoy device with all the axes and buttons, and then in gremlin you can map multiple physical devices to it. gremlin also has the HID hide thing built in so you can set it up in there.

Can i use this Grip with the rhino? https://www.fsprojects.eu/sidestick-a320.html

Sidestick Airbus for HOTAS Magnetic Base

Plug-and-play A320 Sidestick 100% compatible with the Thrustmaster HOTAS Magnetic Base and Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog.
PTT & AP/Disc buttons fully working.
Just plug the sidestick into the base, screw the adapter, then fly!
100% compatible with rubber gaiters https://www.fsprojects.eu/airbus-rubber-gaiter.html

Asdforce•3/2/23, 6:41 PM

I figure it should work, since Thrustmaster grips work on the Rhino.

walmis•3/2/23, 6:52 PM

Yeah I think so too

TrigaNZ•3/3/23, 5:18 AM

Just had my first blast with the Rhino, most excellent, choppers are going to be fantastic. First noob question. Can't get the trim in aeroplanes to work in DCS. It correctly binds and flashes when you push a button, but it won't trim in flight. Tried the A-10C and F-14. WW F-16EX Grip.

Magpie•3/3/23, 6:23 AM

Do you notice the stick moving?

PiNKSH!TOP•3/3/23, 6:53 AM

If you can bind the trim to an axis or an encoder it might allow you to move the trimmer axis in larger motions a bit faster & this could help you feel the stick move more. Just am idea to check whether or not the stick moves with trim as it can be hard to tell with finer adjustments.

MMagpie Do you notice the stick moving?

TrigaNZ•3/3/23, 7:15 AM

No, it does not move.

sydost•3/3/23, 7:16 AM

F-14 has a setting in specials tab which you have to activate to get FFB trim working.

sydost•3/3/23, 7:17 AM

If I remember correctly.

sydost•3/3/23, 7:20 AM

And first the stupid question just to make sure. Do you have FFB enabled in DCS?

TrigaNZ•3/4/23, 4:43 AM

Thanks, Forced Effect was the culprit. Would be nice to have a Config depository for different A/C as a start place for we Noobs, or at least a screenshot collection. Cheers

I think the depository is an idea that been bought up & getting worked on along with things like the manual etc.

ddrake1984•3/4/23, 6:57 AM

Whatup

Dddrake1984 Whatup

PiNKSH!TOP•3/4/23, 7:50 AM

Sorry m8 life interupted me, just need to know the basics of, install & blocking a device from a game, don't want to have to make white lists etc. Also not sure what to use for install

PiNKSH!TOP•3/4/23, 7:54 AM

I really should be using vjoy & joystick gremlin to add a few devices together, but for now I just want to use vpforce loopback app to combine my vkb grip & the Rhino base togehter as one & then useHID Hide to stop IL2 from seeing the VKB grip

ddrake1984•3/4/23, 8:04 AM

You just tick what you want hidden, it’s not really complicated

TheAmazinGreat•3/4/23, 2:52 PM

There’s also another tick mark to be made to actually hide the devices. It took me a minute to figure that out the first time. In the device box select the devices to hide and then under it select the box to enable hiding.

aniron•3/4/23, 6:14 PM

You make a whitelist of apps that you want to still see the devices, and just select which devices are to be hidden, then hit the enable checkbox.

PiNKSH!TOP•3/5/23, 4:09 AM

Thanks guys, got it sorted, most the confusion was cause I downloaded the master version or something like that from Github, once I got the right one it's all easy. I just selected the VKB grip I wanted blocked, I haven't made a whitelist yet, is it possible to make a blacklist instead? I only really need to hide the grip from IL2. Cheers again guys

aniron•3/5/23, 6:04 AM

Yeah. There's a tickbox that I believe makes it a blacklist.
