Yeah. Good idea. And is there any way possible to map force trim buttons to a usb device that is not connected to the rhino? Like I have a real aircraft grip and there’s a wiring harness that runs down to a usb circuit board. Can I map the motorized trim to something like that?

Number481•10/1/23, 3:03 AM

Might be possible with the rhino loop back app. I’ve never tried to use it.

walmis•10/1/23, 5:38 AM

Yeah, you can use the loopback app that's included in the VP configurator app package. Set the grip type to loopback and you're good to go.

I'm trying to add the freeware Cessna T-37 to the TelemFFB user config file. This is what the log says:

2023-10-01 10:05:13.375 - INFO - Loading parameters from 'MSFS2020' section
2023-10-01 10:05:13.378 - INFO - Found section [Cessna T37.*] for aircraft 'Cessna T37 B Tweet' in config
2023-10-01 10:05:13.379 - INFO - Loading parameters from [MSFS2020.JetAircraft] section

2023-10-01 10:05:13.379 - INFO - Creating handler for Cessna T37 B Tweet: aircrafts_msfs.JetAircraft

Is the warning significant, or can I ignore it? It's not clear to me if it's actually picking up the data in the Cessna T37.* section.

Number481•10/1/23, 5:35 PM

Ya. You can ignore it. There isn’t a default “jet” section in the config for MSFS (though there will be in my next update). The part that tells you it is properly loading your config is

2023-10-01 10:05:13.378 - INFO - Found section [Cessna T37.\*] for aircraft 'Cessna T37 B Tweet' in config

2023-10-01 10:05:13.378 - INFO - Found section [Cessna T37.\*] for aircraft 'Cessna T37 B Tweet' in config

Number481•10/1/23, 5:36 PM

It’s stil picking up the relevant jet configs from the default MSFS section, but there is currently no separate default section for the jet type.

@walmis I'm having no luck getting my Rhino to recognize my WinWing F-16 grip. I have the Grip at the end of a Virpil Z-extension and the WinWing adapter. I thought it might be the Grip going bad but I just received a new Grip from WW and still no joy. I've previously attached the Grip directly to the Rhino via the adapter (without the extension) and that didn't work. If I connect a Virpil Alpha directly or via the Z-extension, it recognizes the buttons. All of these problems started after I updated 1.0.16. Can I roll back to 1.0.15? Any other suggestions? Screenshots below of my settings and debug output.

From the log it looks like the adapter itself works, but it doesn't detect the WW grip via the 6pin connector. Is the WW cable fully seated?

walmis•10/1/23, 7:34 PM

It's possible. I've found the socket pins on the 6pin connector sometimes could be in too deep (I've made a video on how to fix it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/um8ZC7NgLJRGkY5U7). The newest adapters (after 2023 July) don't have this problem. If you have a multimeter I could guide you how to test it. If all else fails, I could mail you a new core PCB with connectors.

Mustang 1-1OP•10/2/23, 2:53 AM

Okay I set the setting to loopback and when I go to the trim buttons I can’t figure out how to map them. I click the buttons but nothing happens.

Mustang 1-1OP•10/2/23, 2:53 AM

Is there something else I need to do? I have just set grip type to loopback and then tried ti set the buttons.

Mustang 1-1OP•10/2/23, 3:19 AM

Never mind I figured it out! It was in the manual haha.

NNumber481 post screenshots of your configurator settings (both settings and effects tabs)

Simon2012•10/3/23, 6:56 AM

So, I'm finally back in front of the pc
Here are my current settings

General feeling : way too light

Simon2012•10/3/23, 7:08 AM

This feels better actually

Simon2012•10/3/23, 7:08 AM

I guess it's gonna need some fine tuning

amadeus•10/3/23, 7:16 AM

Those settings seem way off thonk

how long is your extension?

Simon2012•10/3/23, 7:21 AM

20 cm

Simon2012•10/3/23, 7:21 AM

Way off for what ?

Simon2012•10/3/23, 7:22 AM

I'm just trying to get a "good" feeling, I must admit I have no clue what I'm doing

amadeus•10/3/23, 7:22 AM

20cm is a bit on the longer side, but that’s a lot of effects I feel like

walmis•10/3/23, 7:24 AM

@simon2012 I guess you're after center stiffness? Currently the whole force is distributed linearly through the whole throw range, so with an extension it might feel sloppy. Try "Axis scaling" at 50% and see how that goes.

Simon2012•10/3/23, 7:25 AM

Yes, what I'm definitely missing with the out-of-the-box settings is center stiffness
I'll give a try with axis scaling

Simon2012•10/3/23, 7:26 AM

By the way, I love the fact you can modify the settings on the spot, super convenient for testing !!!

ToreDL87•10/3/23, 3:28 PM

Its rattling like h3ck for just barely making a slight bank left or right, whereas in IL-2 it starts rattling when getting close to the limit/edge, at that same point in DCS it nearly knocks a hole in my floor, obviously that's not a tenable situation lmfao

Hey m8, first have you checked ffb in dcs settings?

next have you got the config software installed? & the telem app?

also what module?

hey m8 sorry I was actually getting my flight gear finally set up in new room. Did you get the Telem app sorted out? there should be a link somewhere to the .exe install version instead of the python version. Telem app works with dcs to add ffb effects to all the dcs modules without interrupting the native ffb effects, these added effects are things like ground texture, landing gear moving into place, flap & AoA flutter etc, gun shake, weapon release effect & others.

Number481•10/6/23, 6:05 PM

No. TelemFFB does not interface with any other haptic devices. Other software (such as SimShaker) are specifically built to do that.

Bass shaker software works by playing pre-canned audio files to excite the shaker in various ways depending on the desired effect.
