when using a Virpil grip with the Rhino base, I'm assuming that the Virpil software can no longer be used to customize the grip? With the Virpil software I created button presses at the end of the travel on each axis on the thumb stick, so that it can also work as a hat. Will I lose this functionality when connecting to the Rhino?

correct -- you cannot use virpil software anymore for the grip or rhino base

The virpil software won't work. but the configurator software supports adding button events to the thumb stick (at least on the Alpha).

Is this a two piece receptacle cover? I don't see how this was locked into place? If I reinstall it, it just pushes through again.

JIGGAwest•9/14/23, 2:33 AM

Should I just superglue it?

JIGGAwest•9/14/23, 2:55 AM

This should have a captive design, so push pull forces wouldn't have this move.

Yep, that's the way, put some on every corner and should be good to go.

Hello, I am thinking about moding my rhino to make it quieter and cooler by using a permanantly running 140mm fan to cool it. Would it be possible to have this fan externaly mounted with a pipe to get the air from it to the case? Ideally making it going by the side under the stop button and the potentiometer

DeltaVJ•9/14/23, 12:18 PM

goal is to have the case fan running less frequently

I must not be doing something right... I've never heard the Rhino's fan(s?) turn on.

Do some hard maneuvering / extended high-g pulls with the g-effect enabled in TelemFFB. That'll get your fans singing.

blave549•9/14/23, 3:00 PM

Oh that's why. I don't dogfight at all. But maybe in DCS when I'm blowing sh8t up on the ground I'll get 'em humming.

TheZoq2•9/16/23, 12:31 PM

Or fly extended periods of time without trimming. I showed my parents and brother my setup a few days ago, they did not use trim and constantly countered the stick instead. That's like the first time i've heard the fans. Otherwise i only hear it in WW2 dogfights

Khangirey•9/17/23, 6:50 AM

Is the native FFB profile for the F5E rather weak, or is it just me? Idk if it is supposed to be that light (even with hydraulics). I can pull 8gs with fingertip pressure

AndyHill•9/17/23, 2:28 PM

I don't know about the F-5, but some planes do have weirdness in FFB, for example the F-16 feels softer on the elevator axis

AndyHill•9/17/23, 2:29 PM

some planes also have FFB settings in config files

MashedPotato•9/17/23, 3:01 PM

The F-16 being weird in ffb kind of makes sense though, especially the elevator axis being soft. The sim version we have is taking simulated FSSB controls, and meshing them in to traditional spring feel to give some sense of that (the elevator being softer than the ailerons), then trying to translate that in to FFB. Something is bound to get lost in translation/feel weird. Especially compared to non-FCS jets.

AAndyHill some planes also have FFB settings in config files

Khangirey•9/17/23, 11:10 PM

config files in dcs or for telemffb?

AndyHill•9/17/23, 11:11 PM

dcs

AndyHill•9/17/23, 11:11 PM

I think one of the mirages had extra configs

walmis•9/18/23, 5:11 AM

Your Rhino had a pre-release firmware loaded that fixed the mentioned issues on the new board revision. I'll release v1.0.16 today, so should be all good afterwards.

DrQuinn•9/18/23, 5:22 AM

Thank you, also before I updated the firmware, I selected my VPC Alpha as the connected grip and it caused the stick to start oscillating back and forth.

walmis•9/18/23, 5:24 AM

Hard to say without looking at the settings

DrQuinn•9/18/23, 5:26 AM

default settings other than the grip change. I'll report how it works with new firmware.

slowmover•9/18/23, 5:21 PM

Hey mates question. is there a specific way i have to activate the rhino ffb?

slowmover•9/18/23, 5:22 PM

i mean fist connect usb then give power after open rhino programm?

walmis•9/18/23, 5:56 PM

Doesn't matter really, you can plug it in either order

@walmis I feel like I’ve noticed jolts every once in a while (don’t use hardware trimming though), but usually when I’m doing smaller movements and there are engine rumble effects on, I see you mentioned jolts fixed in the new firmware update but only with hardware trim

amadeus•9/19/23, 3:55 PM

Almost feels like there could be a series of wave effects that might be being applied and then they sorta hit a resonance point or something? Hard to describe tho

walmis•9/19/23, 4:06 PM

The jolts happened on trim release on ah64 for example, but this might be something different as you describe.
