That's the winwing adapter in the pic, Virpil mounts directly to the Rhino.

RIs this something we should all do? Also what is the breakout force effect for and will it be fixed anything soon. I assume it means you must meet the force demand before it will move from center?
RLooking to make the center stay more within its trimmed blue circle without messing with the linear feel of movement
PAhh that would explain it, I got that so I had all the options - just in case, I will try and plug it in again then, I just didn't want to force it 
HJust thought I’d pop in and give an update. I’ve had a bunch going on so I had to put my friend’s Rhino FFB board on the back burner. Had a chance to look at it today and after pulling the 3v3 regulator off the board I still had a short between the 3v3 line and ground. So next I pulled the processor off and sure enough there is an internal short between VDD and VSS
HI’m going to order a new chip tonight to throw on there and see if it works
KA new STM32F103? That will have to be programmed with the VPForce proprietary firmware. Better to just get a new board since you don’t even know if that’s the extent of the damage.
HIt’s actually a Geehy apm32f103cbt6
HAnd hopefully they are willing to support their products enough to provide the firmware necessary to fix the board
HLooks like there’s already a way to flash the firmware to these boards. I’ll have to read some documentation since I’m not familiar with these apm chips, but I’m willing to bet all I need to do is get it (newly installed chip) into DFU mode and use this firmware flashing tool: https://vpforcecontrols.com/usb/rhino/
H@walmis I see that these chips are reprogrammed through UART1. What is the process for flashing a new chip?
HAnd it looks like I can get an actual STM32F103 for less 
HLooks like Boot0 needs to be pulled high with Boot1 pulled low to enter Bootloader, cool.
KThe Geehy is an STM clone that gained popularity during the chip shortage. Not sure why you’d make a distinction.
HBecause that’s what’s physically on this board, clone or not. Not interested in semantics arguments though so take that somewhere else
K
KK.
TAre you trying to fix a broken controller board, that came with the Rhino? Why not just send it in to Walmis for repair?
HI fix electronics, my friend wanted me to diagnose/fix this for him. So that's what I'm doing. This stuff is pretty simple, and given that its based around the STM32, it's pretty similar to the flight controllers on the FPV drones and planes we fly
H
HFor instance, that’s a flight controller that I designed and built for small FPV wings
DHello, could someone help me with Telem ffb installation? i don't really understand how to do it because of my poor english
WDM'd you
WYou can download the last binary release here: https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB/releases/tag/v0.1.3
DI've done it, I've download everything but now i'm kina stuck
HThank you 
Dinstalled git and python, downloaded telem ffb but know i don't understand what to do
WIf you downloaded the binary release, just run the .exe
W
Dso no need to do CMD?
WThat's just to get it running from source code
Dso i'm good and just need to launch dcs now?
Dand i'll have to run the .exe each time i launch dcs?
WYes, but keep in mind this is the early release, so not all aircraft are fully configured/implemented.
DOkay, thanks a lot!
Dwith this, I can't have the effect like airbrake?
NAirbrake, gear and afterburner were only recently implemented in the ‘wip’ branch. You would have to grab a copy of that branch to get those effects
DIt's as easy as for the other?
NYou said you already installed python and git? If you create a directory where you want to put the version, and open a command prompt in that directory…. You can use
That will clone the source code into that directory. Then CD into the new TelemFFB directory and do a
You can then run the app by doing
git clone -b wip https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB.git That will clone the source code into that directory. Then CD into the new TelemFFB directory and do a
pip install requirements.txtYou can then run the app by doing
python main.py from the same directoryDWell... That's what I dont understand...
DA directory?
How do I use git clone...
CD?
Pip instal?

DI'm sure it would be easy if it was in my language but in english thats unclear
JSecond this. any chance of a release update for those of us that appreciate all the behind the scenes work, but don't speak git?
DDid it!
Dnow another question
Din FFB plan I get a bigger amount of force (on regular mouvement without effect like just pulling the stick than on non FFB plane (for example in mirage 2000 I feel like the stick is far less strong than on F14)
Dis there a way of getting it harder on non FFB plane?
WM2K has hardcoded FFB values of 0.65, you can change it here:
