PJust wanted to say thanks for the latest update @walmis made a massive difference for my setup, that nasty kickback thing I had at the edges is totally gone, great work, ty.
T@walmis and team, you have made an amazing product - once DCS is working with FFBTelemetry, the experience in VR is orders of magnitude more immersive
TThank you for everything you've made so far!!!

RHINO #0171 Has Shipped!
MHey all, new rhino owner here..number 164 ! Very pleased / impressed so far, but need some quick help with getting the best out of it ASAP for DCS. Its installed and working, along with Telem FFB. Now, I have looked but due to the scrolling nature of Discord, there is a limit on how much searching you can do....Are there profiles and settings around by users that I can try for the various DCs modules I own? And where can I find these? looked in the profiles section but only 2 or 3 there and not relevant to me...... I use the F14, F5, Mirage F1, Harrier, Hornet & Strike Eagle. Many thanks.....
SI’m getting mad with shipping!!!! I’m #163 and no sign of it! Shipping to Europe takes more time than US! Blame the Covid! :/
SPs: should be today… last update was 15th 
LHi and welcome! 📙knowledge-baseRhino Profile Sharing is the right place but there are indeed surprisingly few of them there. Luckily, customizing settings and TelemFFB effects isn't hard to do. If there is something specific you'd like to improve on a specific module and you don't know how to do it, just ask. Myself, I don't change the settings between modules that much, I may just add some inertia and dampening when I fly bigger 
. I typically fly the same module for weeks. I'm happy with the effects TelemFFB comes with but you have lots of 
s I don't own, so idk.

I'm happy with the effects TelemFFB comes with but you have lots of s I don't own, so idk.MThanks, Telem seems really good and I am very impressed by the effects....I dont know if I am simply feeling the effects through my sim chair by transmitted vibration, but my jet seat seems to have also started with more and better effects since I installed the Telem.......???
MI was leaning more towards the settings within the configurator in terms of the way people have these set up for the various modules. As the telem effects seem pretty well sorted! I ask , as coming from a Brunner joystick base, I had several profiles for varying modules with that, that cleverer people than me had made to try and emulate as near as possible how the real life airframe behaved and felt. Obviously, a fly by wire Hornet behaves and feels quite different than say an F14 Tomcat in real life.
LRemember it's all very new. We get telemetry effects for the most popular sims now and by the looks of it, IL-2 is going to get something next. Myself I'm eagerly waiting for X-Plane 12 support in TelemFFB because XP12 just started working properly with my VR headset.
JAn implementation of X-Plane 12 should not be that hard to do because all sim values are exposed via DataRefs. Unfortunately my programming skills are not sufficient for this.

Pretty cool to think a Falcon 5.0 is in the works with a flyable F-35 among other things, and that they are working on an Apache simulator as well.
Anyway, relevancy for us FFB enthusiasts is we could all reach out to MicroProse and preach the good word about FFB not being dead, and that all sorts of effects, or ability to access them, should be implemented into their upcoming games
(Now obviously, neither the F16 or F35 have FFB in their sticks, being force sensing, but these are still new games in the early stages of development and we as a community could do our part by requesting FFB support)

KThe long wait is over 
thanks Walmis!!!
thanks Walmis!!!MSo have a question regarding the effects and how to tweak. Been flying the F5 in DCS using standard settings apart from the axis centre. Doing aeros, I find at some point in the loop, as you recover, the stick come back quite hard into my crotch........why is that? Also, using telem, as I land and decellerate down the runway, the stick is very active, too much I think....what parameter do I adjust to calm that down a bit? Cheers!
WThe first one I'm not sure, might be TelemFFB, might be not.
For the second one there's the deceleration effect:

or could be runway rumble too

RHINO #0172 Has Shipped!M
JHey Walmis, what is the total body length of the 86BLF04 from the mounting surface to the end of the encoder housing at the other end? I believe that the 94mm in the FAQ only take the motor body into account and not the encoder housing, but I would really like to know the total length for sketching up a new idea of mine.
WThe board cover adds additional 12mm
JThanks!
SHey there, I'm about buying my VPRhino FFB base, I'm in #80 position.
I have questions, what's going on once... well... when it's time to buy and wait for delivery ?
I actually have WinWing handsticks, and plan to buy a Virpil VFX handstick, so I'd like i.e. to know if there's an invoice or something like that ? With cases to check for options like adapter, etc.
Thanks in advance for answers. Have a good week!

FOnce you are closing the front of the pre-order queue, the VPforce bot will prompt you to place the actual order and gives you the link. Once you do, you get to choose options/accessories with the actual FFB base. After that you will receive the invoice and get stuff shipped. The lead time from ordering to shipping is very short (compared to the long waiting time in the queue).
FAnd you can access the order form anyway already now and outside of the pre-ordering process, you just don't get to select the Rhino base without the pre-order, only other accessories/kits.
KSorry for the total noob question but how do I check my place in the queue? I (think) I joined it a few weeks ago so really just wanting to make sure I did that correctly. Thanks in advance all, cheers

NI've been doing some work on the G-force based effects (because they can start oscillating).. but I notice in your #
showcase pics that you have your Rhino mounted backwards.. this is perfectly normal (I do, too).. but I wanted to ask if you inverted your axis in VPforce configurator or if you inverted them in DCS.
If you inverted them in DCS rather than configurator, that could explain why the G-force is trying to nut-sack you. The g-induced forces are only supposed to be "away" from the pilot, but if your stick is upside down and the axis is not inverted (in configurator) then "away" will be towards you.

WVibrating like oscillating or more like rumbling?
Moscillating
Mrumbling would be fine. the oscillation was crazy. I had the periodic set to 18%
MThe AB effect is also pretty intense, that I turned down in config
WCan you post a log file to the telemFFB thread?
MDoes it save one post flight? Already closed out DCS for the evening
WIt should remain in telemFFB/logs
MThe only log in there is mostly blank
MI'll check it again after I fly tomorrow if it goes crazy. I was running SSA as well, do they have a known negative interaction?
WNah, shouldn't have any negative interactions
WReport any funky telem stuff to the https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1093558100713279508
MWill do
Mthanks, yes, I inverted in DCS....I will change to using the FFB config software. Actually, could really do with a quick minutes discord call to help set up my Axis with someone who knows.......any takers?
MAlso....presume its sensible to completely ignore the FFB settings within DCS and do everything vis FFBconfig and telem? Does that include checking the "use FFB" option box in main settings?
NNo, you should leave FFB enabled in DCS. It is responsible for all of the axis feedback like dynamic forces and trim movement (including helicopter force-trim) . For DCS, TelemFFB is really only doing haptic effects.
Most modules in DCS also implement AoA\stall buffeting. For some modules (like the Spitfire) I am not a fan of how the developers did it, so I turn down the "shake" in the FFB Tune options for those modules.
Reference picture if you didn't even know DCS had a FFB-Tune menu (must have 'foldable view' disab

MThanks, I was aware of the FF tune option. So, in main options/misc, enable FFB check box. And leave the FF Tune option box in the controls section as default, yes? There are also FFB options within the specials tab for certain jets, mainly the Mirage F1, where there are several options:
M
MWhat is the concensus on settings for these?
NYep.. unless you want to tone down or disable the built-in shake effects as I mentioned.
I've personally not adjusted the per-model settings on any of the aircraft that have it in their special settings.
