@walmis maybe pin the diagram in support sir?

I'm not in front of the computer right now, but I did not modify anything there, so it's the "factory settings"

By my calculations, you should get ~2.2kg of force at max with a 40cm lever (15cm Rhino + 20cm ext + grip) . Formula: F_kg = 0.9 / lever in metersFormula: F_kg = 0.9 / lever in meters
You can stiffen up the the spring by reducing the throw range by using "axis scaling" feature or using spring mapping tool.

updated firmware and software, set grip to the realsimulator 64 button, still not seeing the hat presses light up in the vpforce software

�𝔐𝔬𝔯𝔭𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔢 💀Great! Is it also recognizing the grip now?

Virus•9/21/23, 4:27 PM

It was not easy as to plug it in...but now it works

walmis•9/21/23, 4:50 PM

Interesting, will have to double check.

Wwalmis Interesting, will have to double check.

MashedPotato•9/21/23, 4:59 PM

might have something to do with how RS sends those inputs to windows. They come off a second virtual device

walmis•9/21/23, 5:02 PM

But if the presses were visible with the debug grip profile, it should work. Can you recheck the debug grip profile which bytes change on button presses?

MashedPotato•9/21/23, 5:02 PM

yeah, one sec

The FB, F7, and FD are the 3 hats

MashedPotato•9/21/23, 5:06 PM

in debug, the grip constantly sends the FF, not sure if that's just the poll rate, or what

harry•9/21/23, 5:07 PM

hi @walmis , i am still loosing ffb. But at least sometimes it seems to be only the spring force while the others are still ok. Do you have further Ideas?

blave549•9/21/23, 5:21 PM

I have been experiencing something that seems to be specific to the aircraft that I'm using (Cowansim MD500E). TelemFFB throws exceptions pretty much every time I fly, and it seems to happen whenever TelemFFB attempts to generate an effect. It does not do this with the Cabri G2, which works fine. Here's the log... I'm assuming I need to add something to the config.user.ini but I don't know what.

MD500E_TelemFFB_log.txt3.95KB

Number481OP•9/21/23, 5:29 PM

@_blave could be any number of things that aren't implemented properly in that aircraft, or in a way that TelemFFB isn't expecting (or a legit TelemFFB bug...)

But at the very least you should add the aircraft to your config as a helicopter:

[500E.*]
type=Helicopter

[500E.*]
type=Helicopter

Boeing757sim•9/21/23, 5:32 PM

@walmis Could have the wiring diagram for the 32 input Shift register to “Main Board” - I used the diagram given by @subsonic1748 but no joy.

blave549•9/21/23, 11:09 PM

Thank you November Four Eight One. I'll give that a go!

blave549•9/21/23, 11:39 PM

OK, that worked. I added this to the user config file:

[500E.*]
type=Helicopter
runway_rumble_intensity = 0.5
rotor_blade_count=5
etl_start_speed = 15
etl_stop_speed = 24
etl_effect_intensity = 0.25
overspeed_shake_start = 60
overspeed_shake_intensity = 0.2

I googled "translational lift" and more than one source says that it starts between 16 and 24 knots, so I upped the entry speed. I cannot find a reference as to when the vibration goes away. But what I did notice is that the 500E's vibration is of a higher frequency than the Cabri, which is as it should be (5 vs. 3 blades). Nice work, 481.

Bblave549 OK, that worked. I added this to the user config file: [500E.*] type=Helicopter...

Number481OP•9/21/23, 11:49 PM

sweet... keep in mind those speeds in the config are in meterts/second. So rougly cut the knot values in half (.514) to be exact. So that would be 8 to 12 m/s.

Or (I think walmis added this).. you can say 15kt and 24kt and it will be auto-converted at runtime

Currently reserved for future use, probably will be for extra buttons/switches

walmis•9/22/23, 9:04 AM

to adjust these programatically, i.e. from TelemFFB config.ini

Simon2012•9/22/23, 2:46 PM

So, anybody using a 20 cm extension that would be willing to share his settings ?
Thanks

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 3:05 PM

Does anyone know if p3d would support simple stall stick shakers and g force load increase, along with xplane? It may not be tested but my rhino has just shipped so I can test, but just waning to know!

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 3:06 PM

P3d has sim connect so I think it would work

Number481OP•9/22/23, 3:07 PM

xplane has no native FFB at all, and the Telemetry software doesnt support it yet (will require a complete new effects module similar to the one for MSFS).
P3D is a fork of old FS and thus has simconnect support, but it is so ancient I don't know if it will work with pysimconnect (which is the underlying simconnect support that TelemFFB uses)

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 3:10 PM

Ag. My brunner works nice with xplane. Well, thanks.

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 3:10 PM

Brunner works best with xplane.

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 3:10 PM

But the rhino is way different

MMustang 1-1 Brunner works best with xplane.

walmis•9/22/23, 3:11 PM

I guess that's with the Brunner's telemetry software?

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 3:13 PM

Yeah. You don’t even need hardware trim. Xplane automatically sends the data to brunner. If you are interested with anything brunner, ask me. I have their pedals and stick. If you even want to test it I can help with that.

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 3:13 PM

As I am moving to rhino now.

MMustang 1-1 Yeah. You don’t even need hardware trim. Xplane automatically sends the data to ...

Number481OP•9/22/23, 5:13 PM

am I correct in my understanding that for X-Plane it requires you to edit each aircraft to change the trim behavior so that it works properly (software trim method)?

Mustang 1-1•9/22/23, 5:17 PM

Yes. It sucks but in the end it’s really nice, and realistic.

ToreDL87•9/22/23, 6:16 PM

Just got my Rhino today, reading the readme and trying to get things working, first order of business seems to be an error when trying to run TelemFFB?
Currently running Windows 10 (latest version).

Number481OP•9/22/23, 6:30 PM

what do you see here when you look at the configurator?

ToreDL87•9/22/23, 6:30 PM

Hang on, will advise

ToreDL87•9/22/23, 6:31 PM

2055

ToreDL87•9/22/23, 6:32 PM

And I did store settings in the configurator, heard an audible "blip" from the base when I did so.

Number481OP•9/22/23, 6:33 PM

what version of telemFFB are you running?

ToreDL87•9/22/23, 6:33 PM

Currently the newest stable version, 0.1.3

TToreDL87 Currently the newest stable version, 0.1.3

Number481OP•9/22/23, 6:37 PM

likely not related since afaik the older 'stable' version should still at least connect to the Rhino.. but you'll probably want the latest from here: https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/TelemFFB/?C=M;O=A a lot has been updated since 0.1.3
