I 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.
WYes, of course
CThanks.@walmis l. Will/can the shaker be implemented in the future? Currently weighing up which stick to buy.
WNah, no reason for it, FFB makes much better shaking
TI bought a Meanwell LRS 350-24 powersupply for my DIY FFB project. I got two 86BLF04 motors from @walmis and I’m thinking of either mounting the powersupply inside the joystick base or separate from the base in a 3D printed enclosure. The PS is rated at almost 15A. How much current will the motors draw? I need to know what kind of DC contact I can use between the PS and the VP Force controller…
WHey, expect up to around 10A if at max deflection diagonally. But you can set limits in software too.
TThanks! What are your thoughts on mounting the PS in the base? Will it be too warm for with the motors?
WShouldn't be an issue for the large motors
VPlease provide me your email address you used for preordering, for example: !info email@domain.xyz
J(also you can DM the bot directly using the command)
Swhich is the best power supply to buy for 57BLF03? how much Volt Watt and Amper i need to look?
WRhino has 180W supply, 19V ~ 10A.
You could look at Laptop PSUs or go with a Meanwell LRS-350-24, it's powerful for it's price, but bulky.

SThis power supply will be able to work with 4x57BLF03 motor? Cause i am thinking of building full FFB pit. (cyclic, collective,pedals)
Wyeah, meanwell should handle it
Sthis board can handle 4 motors or i will need a second one? Or there is another board which supports 4 motors?
WYou would require two boards for 2 pairs of motors
