I have the Thrustmaster A-10 grip and it doesn't behave that way. Do any of the buttons on your grip not work because of this?

kingjamez•6/18/23, 12:46 AM

What happens when you change the Grip Type to VPC T-50CM2? What happens when you take the stick off?

walmis•6/18/23, 4:20 AM

Yeah that's normal for some TM grips, but I'll probably need to address this in the future releases

Wwalmis Try playing with negative damping, though increase in small amounts

Will3D•6/18/23, 7:38 AM

Works a little, but hard to make it feel good. Wants to "run away". I'll be using a slightly longer extension, so that will help some. Is there any more adjustment in the system for dampening compensation ? That makes the biggest difference by a large amount.

Will3D•6/18/23, 7:38 AM

Maybe going to a steel extension in stead of aluminium might help also. Although it might impact on smaller vibrations?

if i payed 1600-2000 for a unit can i get priority shiping?

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/18/23, 11:23 PM

he doesnt have such an option available (i assume ur asking "if i pay x amount can i cut in line to the front") but could see if any existing owner is willing to sell or something

idk the outcome but thats what was discussed between a couple of people in the past

kingjamez•6/19/23, 2:52 PM

The base has 4 holes in it. You can use those if you can bolt/screw into your flat surface. Or you can do as @reed showed and use the monstertech plate to secure to some structure of your simpit. I mounted mine on aluminum extrusion via the 4 holes in the base.

Hi @walmis, thank you for the Rhino. Mounted it on the monstertech with the adapter, very easy, installed the limiters very easy. When attaching the virpil 200mm extension I can't get it properly seated, is there a specific trick to accomplish this? It should be simple but after several tries I believe the treading on the rhino could be worned out after all tries

Does swapping the axis have a negative impact on performance, functionality ffb? I swapped engines, roll motor to pitch, pitch motor to roll.

Ggcze Does swapping the axis have a negative impact on performance, functionality ffb?...

Number481•6/21/23, 5:34 PM

the Rhino is functionally equivalent on both axis'. You could turn the base 90 degrees and use roll as pitch and pitch as roll like you said. As long as it's bound properly in the sim.

Number481•6/21/23, 5:35 PM

Just if you need to invert an axis because of the orientation of the base, do it in the base configuration software, not in the sim. Some modules (in DCS) don't respect the in-sim invert axis and the FFB effects would be opposite.

@walmis - as I have been moving apartments the last two + weeks, don't know whether it was me buying a new 200mm extension from Virpil, or downloading the new firmware, but now I have no errant buttons on my T-50CM2, which is good, but now need to remap DCS, which is not so good. Many thanks.

TC-Durham•6/22/23, 1:37 AM

Have you got the metal tubular extensions? - I made that mistake going straight to the 200mm extension, and then used a tubular extension to bed in the male screw threads, but a little too late. Nonetheless, worth doing if you have them - as always with 3d printing they err on the side of too big...

JIGGAwest•6/22/23, 1:49 AM

you shouldn't have to remap. you can just load one of your profiles backups. This is what i did. you can find them

TC-Durham•6/22/23, 2:39 AM

The new one is showing different virtual buttons for same physical, this time correctly so will have to do it. No worries, will only take a few and the hardware now doing what it should, which is progress.

How is it I have never seen this.
Use joystick gremlin for all my control box mapping, but this....I like!
May help preventing the nuking of controls sometimes on DCS update.

To all the Tomcat Drivers....
I am currently working through setting the Rhino up.
I am struggling with getting trim adjustments to move the stick when trimmed.
I have tried all combinations of turning the "FFB Trim implementation" on in DCS module and the "Force Trim" in VP Config.
I can either trim the ld fashioned way as in the stick does not move but trim adjusts...or...
I cannot adjust trim at all.

I have read through pretty much everything here and I must be missing something.
Thanks in advance....

Harq•6/23/23, 3:12 AM

do you have the force feedback option checked in misc DCS options?

Subsonic•6/23/23, 3:29 AM

Sure do
Even tried the Trim option in special for the F-14 on and off
I can get buffet shake and those effects, but trim to work and move the stick...no bueno

Harq•6/23/23, 4:06 AM

strange... I had my stick fail to move properly a couple times, but I got it working eventually. Trying to remember if I did anything other than restart DCS.

Harq•6/23/23, 4:07 AM

You might check that your trimmer controls are bound properly. If you've got a stick preset applied in VPForce config, sometimes it got reset back to default for me after I made edits in it

Harq•6/23/23, 4:07 AM

the button names were different between the default config and my virpil stick

Harq•6/23/23, 4:08 AM

the buffeting working makes me think the FFB is active but it's not recieving trim commands

Harq•6/23/23, 4:08 AM

when my FFB wasn't working, no effects worked at all
