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

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.

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!

walmis•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.

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?

What do you mean by this?
Force trim worked for me on the Apache last night
Is there something I'm missing?

SwiftVengeance•3/9/23, 11:11 PM

Yes, the force trim option and no spring ffb mode adds input lag

Quick question: mounting a Virpil or WWing stick to the Rhino: will that still allow me to use their respective software to setup buttons/axis and stuff?
Or will those apps no longer recognize their stick?

skeleton•3/10/23, 9:11 AM

I use a Virpil stick on the Rhino Base. Windows will only recognise the Rhino base device with the axis and buttons of the stick mapped to the Rhino device. So you can't use the Virpil configurator to change the settings of the stick. That's all done via the Rhino Configurator.

ddrake1984•3/10/23, 9:15 AM

VKB works because it instead connects directly to the VKB Blackbox (unlike Virpil and WW)

skeleton•3/10/23, 9:21 AM

Speaking of the configurator:
I have a weird issue. I'm running a relatively fresh Win 11 install and only recently tried to change my FFB config. I downloaded version 1.0.13. When I first started it, the window was blank and crashed/didn't respond. I tried with the Rhino disconnected, without power, connected, etc. Then it worked for one time.
Then it stopped working entirely. So I can't change my config anymore. Tried different compatibility mode settings etc. but no joy.
The configurator launches with a blank window. The Rhino "ID" is recognised and shown in the top of the window when connected. The app uses CPU resources even when it's blank. Clicking on it will bring up the "this application doesn't respond" dialogue.
I re-downloaded it and also tried the 1.0.7 version. Firmware is up to date.
Any idea how to fix it?

Hotshot•3/10/23, 9:29 AM

Shit; so no pass though... but... seeing as the Virpil software doesn't need to be running in the background, because the entire config is always saved to the device: wouldn't it work to configure the stick with the default base and then putting it on the Rhino? (I think WWing also saves it directly to the device)

HHotshot Shit; so no pass though... but... seeing as the Virpil software doesn't need to ...

skeleton•3/10/23, 9:30 AM

negative
the config is saved to your base afaik, so the stick doesn't know of the config
