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

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

unfortunately no, I just heard of it from someone when I was looking for a similar thing for the f-16

@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.

walmis•9/19/23, 4:07 PM

Is it reproducible though

Vulcan•9/19/23, 4:15 PM

Still having an issue with axis inversion. My rhino is flipped to bring the stick closer to me. In vpforce configurator I checked both axis invert boxes. In DCS the Y axis is correct but I always have to invert the X axis in DCS. Any ideas why this is happening? Inverting in vpforce should invert both axis for DCS without having to set anything in DCS? In vpforce configurator both axis do appear inverted successfully when moving the stick.

Wwalmis Is it reproducible though 🙂

amadeus•9/19/23, 4:21 PM

It’s reproducible in the sense that I experience it, but there’s not a predefined way I can make it happen. Let me percolate on that, I might be able to grab logs, but if it’s in the middle of a long session, probably hard to identify

walmis•9/19/23, 6:18 PM

If the Windows game controllers show the correct axis behaviour, then the issue is probably in DCS configuration somewhere

Vulcan•9/19/23, 6:26 PM

Yeah windows shows correct as well... I wonder where in DCS it coudl be buggered up to cause every module to show the X axis is reversed

Walmis, this issue is back after updating firmware from .14 to .16, any idea what changed? Following your advice i was able to stop the crazy oscillations but they are back and its very violent if it accidentally happens.

hey @walmis, maybe my previous was lost somewhere so here goes again: Thanks for accepting the order
