do you know what is the right procedure? When I run the loopback the main windows does not catch the buttons...
LIsn't Virpil is natively supported? Should work without loopback.
LWait this is the THROTTLE
Aone way to get ffb throttle
LTry selecting Loopback here then try the buttons
Aanyway it shouldn't matter what you use for the loopback, it should still work
HThank you very much!
Jhttps://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

WUnlikely, 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 
JYeah for sure makes sense. Definitely an interesting topic, and the way it works could potentially open up some possibilities in the future
SJust 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?
NI 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.

NS
AI get some of that too
AI think it's just the leather dust cover though
SThis 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?
SThe dust cover makes sounds which is totally normal and expected, but this isn’t that.
AOh yeah, think I caught what you meant now
ACan't say what it is, it's not something I can replicate
SAh, 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".
Aso I had an issue where under heavy spring forces, there would be a sort of
pop
KMine doesn't do this at all...
SWhen 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.
Nno.. 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

SAh I guess my creak situation is a little different.
JI took mine apart and tightened what I believe was this screw (been a while)
HHi, 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?
HForgot to mention I mean with telemffb of course.
WRudder is not yet supported
HThanks, than i will wait for it. I am very happy to have both , the joystick and the rudder. You do a great job!
SWas this to fix a creaking issue? If so did it help?
JYes and Yes. I had a little play while holding the big wheel. Can't remember in what direction though
LNope, 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. 
NFYI 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.
N
NAt 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.
Phi, @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!!

SCongrats for now. Haha. I loosened the gimble screw just a tad, and the creaking is gone when off... but actually got worse under load. scratches head
Oh, also @walmis mentioned being careful of overtightening there, since the shaft is aluminum.

SAh thanks. Will try different tightnesses on mine.
RWhat kind of extension cable (din-5) are you using? I need a custom length cable for my cut down cyclic and rhino.
WYou could get a generic male and female mini DIN 5 connectors and make a custom cable

Ghow would i make my own rihno like are theres files i can download for the gears or a parts list besides the motors?
SIn the General Channel, you will find cad files for both the plywood and the metal versions in the github links.
Gthx
CCan anyone please comment on the compatibility of the Win wing F-16EX Viper Metal Joystick Grip with shake kit with the rhino please? I'm aware that the grip is compatible but not sure on the shake kit? Details seem to be a bit sparse. Thank in advance!
Gdoes the base have direct x compatability
WThe shaker is not implemented. However the FFB motors can shake the stick.
