Have you looked into using vJoy and Joystick Gremlin?

PiNKSH!T•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.

VJOY ► https://github.com/jshafer817/vJoy/releases
HIDHIDE► https://github.com/ViGEm/Hid...

No problem GL.

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!T•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?

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

please (sorry forgot my manners

ddrake1984•3/4/23, 6:57 AM

Whatup

Dddrake1984 Whatup

PiNKSH!T•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!T•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!T•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

PPiNKSH!T Thanks guys, got it sorted, most the confusion was cause I downloaded the master...

aniron•3/5/23, 6:04 AM

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

TheAmazinGreat•3/5/23, 9:54 PM

I plugged in the kit board today and my computer is not recognizing the board as a game controller. In Device Manager it is described as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". Anyone run into this before?

TheAmazinGreat•3/5/23, 9:57 PM

I didn't try it with any power connections hooked up, just USB and motor signal plugs. If that makes a difference.

leninjahd•3/5/23, 10:13 PM

Happend to me, one wire of the usb plug was not attached to the plug itself

TheAmazinGreat•3/5/23, 10:29 PM

The GND and DM were flipped on the plug side. Flipped them to match the board annotation and it works!

TheAmazinGreat•3/5/23, 10:52 PM

I'll put a +1 on the request for the shift register wiring. I wired it up as I thought it should be and was getting some unexpected behavior.

TheAmazinGreat•3/5/23, 10:58 PM

Although I swear it was working at first but after a while it started acting weird. Couldn’t press individual buttons but could press them sequentially if held down. I’ll need some more time to play with it, I could have had something crossed up.

TheAmazinGreat•3/5/23, 11:02 PM

It could have also been my config, though I thought I clicked store/send correctly. I tried both generic and VPForce registers.

TheAmazinGreat•3/5/23, 11:06 PM

No matter what I did on the config store/send, I couldn’t get the “Read” config to work like I expected so maybe that was an indication of issues. When you click read is it supposed to adjust the configurator? If I clicked store/send and then changed my grip type and then clicked “Read” it wouldn’t do anything. I thought it might change back to the last grip type I stored.

yeh i tried it but turning it on/off was intrusive - instead i got a usb hub with a single on off sw
