@walmis Do I need to order anything extra like a limiter so my stick will behave like the F/A 18 specs ?? I seem to recall something about a limiter in the order form ?

Yeah m8, you can order limiter plates when you place your order, you can also buy these anytime. The Rhino software does have a endstop feature that you can change per config, but the physical endtop plates are obviously going to be a bit more solid. I believe you can also get the 3d files to print them yourself

The limiter is in the knowledge-base.
You can change the dimensions to your liking and print it.

For me one of the reasons to go FFB is so you can configure endstops on the fly so to speak, without having to assemble/dissasemble.
However physical plates are more solid, but I would still want something that could attach/detach quickly rather than screwing and unscrewing when I want to change the range

He made one for me that is very close. Limits forward and rearward travel. The software calibrates to the physical limit so you lose no input authority.

Isn't Virpil is natively supported? Should work without loopback.

Wait this is the THROTTLE

AndyHill•5/9/23, 3:30 PM

one way to get ffb throttle

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/23, 3:30 PM

Try selecting Loopback here then try the buttons

AndyHill•5/9/23, 3:30 PM

anyway it shouldn't matter what you use for the loopback, it should still work

Thank you very much!

https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/nc3684/my_tool_to_programmatically_control_virpil_leds/ Since I hadn't seen this mentioned before figured I'd share as I'm curious - would this let Rhino Virpil users control the LEDs? Or since it is github be modified in such a way so as to do so? Food for thought THINKING

walmis•5/9/23, 4:35 PM

Unlikely, this library controls LEDs through high level HID commands available with the base itself. What is unknown to me yet is the protocol used on the physical/electrical layer between the base and grip. One way to figure this out would be to grab a Virpil base and capture some traces with a logic analyzer. I'll grab a base eventually like I did with the WinWing, though the WW grip adapter had higher priority and LED control would be a nice-to-have

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/9/23, 4:36 PM

Yeah for sure makes sense. Definitely an interesting topic, and the way it works could potentially open up some possibilities in the future

Sundown•5/9/23, 8:23 PM

Just got my unit and it's impressive. However, I do hear creaking when moving the stick around, with it being more prominent under higher spring forces. It can also be heard when the unit is off, almost like a bit of sticktion and happens more with the X-axis. It's not the boot (which makes its own expected noise) and seems to be coming from the unit itself. Has anyone else encountered this?

Number481•5/9/23, 9:09 PM

I do get some creaking on mine. Best o can tell is it comes from the joint between the extension and the base and not anything internal. Perhaps where the plastic threaded piece of the base joins to the aluminum tube that comes up from the gimbal.

I can hold the gimbal in place with one hand and “tweak” the extension/grip left/right and produce the same creaking.

Anthony•5/9/23, 9:56 PM

I get some of that too

Anthony•5/9/23, 9:57 PM

I think it's just the leather dust cover though

Sundown•5/9/23, 9:57 PM

This is mine. It actually gets worse when the unit is off. I don’t seem to be able to reproduce it just by tweaking the extension. It almost seems like something is catching through certain movements. I don’t suppose there’s anything to lube?

AAnthony I think it's just the leather dust cover though

Sundown•5/9/23, 9:58 PM

The dust cover makes sounds which is totally normal and expected, but this isn’t that.

Anthony•5/9/23, 9:59 PM

Oh yeah, think I caught what you meant now

Anthony•5/9/23, 9:59 PM

Can't say what it is, it's not something I can replicate

Sundown•5/9/23, 10:02 PM

Ah, sometimes it happens less with certain spring/damper settings. On mine it's consistent with the unit off or after going through certain angles with the unit on, which makes me wonder if something "catches".

amadeus•5/9/23, 10:23 PM

so I had an issue where under heavy spring forces, there would be a sort of

pop

pop

or like a release, not sure if it's related -- but the fix for me was to tighten the bolts on the large 3d printed gear, might be just worth making sure they are firmly tightened

Sundown•5/9/23, 11:08 PM

When you hold the gimbal in place, are you holding onto the big gear? When I hold the big gear and apply different mild pressures while moving the stick, I can make the creaking go away/get worse, as if there's some give between big gear and the internal gimbal that might be allowing the creaking. I wonder if there's anything to tighten or lube.

Number481•5/9/23, 11:38 PM

no.. grasping the shaft below the extension in one hand (effectively, what's inside the boot) and the grip/extension with the other.. I can make it "creek" just by applying torque to that joint.. unsure if its the threaded connection between the extension and base, or if its the connection between the square aluminum tube and the threaded plastic piece where you attach the extension/grip

Number481•5/9/23, 11:38 PM

Sundown•5/9/23, 11:56 PM

Ah I guess my creak situation is a little different.

Jaeger•5/10/23, 7:38 AM

I took mine apart and tightened what I believe was this screw (been a while)

harry•5/10/23, 1:49 PM

Hi, is it possible to submit telemetry to my Rhino rudder too? It auto connects with my Rhino Jostick . On github i found -D or --device is used to specify the Rhino device USB VID:PID (default is "ffff:2055"). So it is only possible if i install the complete python project?

harry•5/10/23, 2:03 PM

Forgot to mention I mean with telemffb of course.

walmis•5/10/23, 2:36 PM

Rudder is not yet supported

harry•5/10/23, 2:41 PM

Thanks, than i will wait for it. I am very happy to have both , the joystick and the rudder. You do a great job!

Sundown•5/10/23, 3:29 PM

Was this to fix a creaking issue? If so did it help?

Jaeger•5/10/23, 3:49 PM

Yes and Yes. I had a little play while holding the big wheel. Can't remember in what direction though

LeLv30_Superbus•5/10/23, 7:16 PM

Nope, my stick doesn't make any sound whatsoever and neither does the fake leather. I do hear two different sounds on the video but this was the first time I heard them.

Number481•5/10/23, 7:34 PM

FYI on my Rhino creak.. Last night I lifted the boot and tightened the 4 screws holding on the top threaded piece. They were by no means loose, but I gave them an extra cinching down. Pretty much eliminated the creaking.

Number481•5/10/23, 7:35 PM

Number481•5/10/23, 7:36 PM

At some point I'm sure it will work its self just loose enough for the creak to return. I'll probably pull it apart and maybe add some graphite powder to the socket between the aluminum shaft and plastic part.

peachmonkey•5/11/23, 5:07 PM

hi, @walmis , how are you, sir.

Wanted to update you/follow up on my Mosquito FFB issues in DCS. With the help of another DCS users ( @eaf51_havebug ) and your VPForce ForceTrim/Forced option I was finally able to resolve my issue. Using DCS FFB curves with Mosquito actually works great as long as I use the VPforce forced trim instead of the in-game one!!! And it fixes a similar issue with P47 (albeit less pronounced, but still an issue). Again, thank you for developing/adding the Override feature to your application, it freaking rocks!!

What kind of extension cable (din-5) are you using? I need a custom length cable for my cut down cyclic and rhino.
