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

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

ahh cool I wasn't sure if I had the option to just hide what I want or if I had to make a white list.

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.

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

aniron•3/5/23, 6:04 AM

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

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.

TheAmazinGreat•3/6/23, 4:50 AM

Ended up reconnecting everything and spamming the send button. Working now!

TTheAmazinGreat No matter what I did on the config store/send, I couldn’t get the “Read” config ...

walmisOP•3/6/23, 5:03 AM

Read just gets the active configuration - if you change something without send and click read it will revert back.

walmisOP•3/6/23, 5:07 AM

Glad you got it working!

ddrake1984•3/6/23, 6:04 AM

I thought only store keeps the configuration in long term memory, shouldn't read revert back to the last store and have send only volatile, keeping it in memory until next shutdown/restart/read?

walmisOP•3/6/23, 6:46 AM

Yeah, that makes sense
