@walmis i have this exact view and it just says the following when i set the grip type to debug... do you know what should i do?
Sit also appears to be "loose"
Sbut applying pressure doesn't make input appear
CSame...
SIf you could send a short video that would be great
PI had a similar issue, but when I started up DCS I saw the binds working. Ensure you have the proper grip type in VP Config tool, and test the changes in dcs. For some reason windows game control window did not see the buttons on the F-16EX
WLooks like Rhino is able to read the adapter, the other end didn't mate properly. I've found you might need to push the 6 pin WW connector harder into the adapter socket.
SI tried really hard but no dice… I have a WW base with me and it does work
SAnything else comes to mind? I tried to take it apart but wasn’t successful
WD'oh, I'll probably mail you a new one
SIf there’s anything I can do so that you don’t have to mail me a new one I’d like to try that… but if not, I’d appreciate a replacement 
WThere's a hack you could try, but that involves a soldering iron 
Let me know if you want to try.
Let me know if you want to try.CI'm willing to try if the alternative is mailing it back and waiting for another again
SSame - I do have a soldering iron (or two), would love to avoid waiting for another
SBut I could probably use some instructions
Wokay, I'll try to make a short vid
W
WThe idea is to push the pins in without creating solder bridges, only 3 pins labeled DATA GND and 3.3V are necessary, the others are NoConnect
WTo disassemble the plastic parts, mount it on the Rhino and then you can unscrew the 4 bolts holding it together
Cok I see! I will give this a shot in the morning. Thank you @walmis !
S@walmis I unscrewed the 4 screws, what do I do now?
Wpull out the top part
Swith force?
Sah, indeed
Sit looks like this, I’m going to try pushing it in
S
SPushed them in a good amount
Wlet's hope it works
S
Sit does!!!
Sthank you!!! @walmis
Sthere are 3 axis on this grip though - any way for me to use those axis?
Wyeah, select WinWing adapter profile, axes should show up in windows controller settings
S@walmis is it still possible to get a replacement part? i noticed teh connection is quite unstable... it's very easy for the buttons to disappear if i move the stick
Sdamn, now i just get 0xFFs with the adapter... maybe i shorted something when i was doing this
CLong story short, Mine works too!
Long story long:
Long story long:
- I had 2 adapters because I goofed and snapped a pin in half on my first (Adapter A)
- I got a new one yesterday (Adapter B) and had the issue above
- I tried the fix on Adapter B and it didn't work. I think I might have created a solder bridge so I removed the solder with some solder wick and couldn't find my excess solder so I figured I'd try the fix on Adapter A even with one pin being about half length and missing that middle stabilizing plastic piece.
- I did a much better job with pushing the pins without messing up the solder on this one, however, when I put it all back together and tried it I had to get just enough force on the Rhino -> Adapter port for it to register. I'm worried if I move it too much it will likely disconnect one day.
- So I'm waiting on some new solder for Adapter B to see if I can salvage that one
WHmm, for some reason it's not talking on the Rhino end
CWhen this happened to me it seemed to help to take off the two-screw plus adapter part to try to get a tighter fit on the plug
WYou could disassemble it again and plug directly into the Rhino to isolate any mechanical issues
SYeah it’s directly attached right now
Sanything obvious from this?
S(i hope it's not the rhino base that was affected...)
BI see this in the manual. What does it mean? Does it mean that my Virpil Alpha Prime grip won't work without an extension? "Note that rotating Thrustmaster grips requires the use of an extension. "
BThrustmaster grips dont have the din connector on a cable, they have a fixed orientation when mounting.
That's not necessarily the more ergonomic solution especially for center mount so they need an extension with an intermediary cable to allow for rotation of the grip so the grip points in the same direction as your arm when in your lap.
Every virpil grip that ive seen has a little cable coming out of the grip so they can simply be angle mounted directly.
Although there are many other reasons to want an extension as well.

BI have two 100mm extensions but am not sure I have vertical room for them, at least w.r.t. how I plan to mount the Rhino (using the MT adapter plate, which appears to be a 1:1 replacement for the Virpil plate that I have my CM3 base mounted on). Thanks for your reply, btw.
BIts a big boy for sure.
Got a boeing pit myself, so no real idea how to solve it myself yet, then again got a few years to ponder it.

SIs there a way to implement a dead zone? I'm having trouble in a non-sim game where the Rhino is causing a constant scrolling in menus. Of course, I could disconnect it's USB but the cable is routed under my desk and it's a pain to get at.
SLook into hidhide. You can hide your rhino from that program
KThis is the way. HIDhide was built to solve this problem exactly. Works great. I use it to hide the rhino and my custom sim controls when playing “normal” games like cyberpunk and diablo which have an embarrassingly limited control customization.
