ok cheers, doing so now

walmisOP•10/9/23, 1:24 PM

From the video it looks like it reaches 3000, but your CAL is 2700

PiNKSH!T•10/9/23, 1:26 PM

sorry so I understand, when do I take the numbers from the raw data? do I pull stick to max deflection & take that number to the Y Max?

PiNKSH!T•10/9/23, 1:38 PM

What if I remove the physical limiter, calibrate, install the limiter, change axis scaling to 50% +/- X axis & 35% + Y & 60% -Y????

walmisOP•10/9/23, 1:42 PM

It might be simpler that way

walmisOP•10/9/23, 1:42 PM

Or you can check the numbers from another saved profile before the limiter

PiNKSH!T•10/9/23, 1:43 PM

yep just thought of that, just loaded an old one

Wwalmis It might be simpler that way

PiNKSH!T•10/9/23, 2:08 PM

Ok that did it, just put limiter on then adjust axis scaling

Hi, anyone here using a real simulator grip with the Rhino? I have some questions....

mark turner•10/10/23, 10:57 AM

I am using the grip as a standalone grip. I dont really need all the bells and whistles full functionality via the RS software and want to use it on the Rhino FFB base. I simply need the grip to function as a normal HID device via the rhino base.

On first try it seemed there was some issues with button numbers being double assigned and some not being picked up.

Whats the suggested best way to proceed setting it up given the useage scenario described above? I want to try and avoid all the Real Simulator bluetooth issues.....

mark turner•10/10/23, 10:57 AM

I have selected teh Real simulator 64 button option in the configurator

mark turner•10/10/23, 10:58 AM

Its the F18 grip incidentally, not the F16

Walmis is troubleshooting this. Still not working right in the most recent firmware. I use Bluetooth for the grip in the meantime

@walmis Hey m8, I've just shortened the ww extension cable & the connection to the female end of the adapter is still just too finicky, the slightest touch will stop the connection. I'm not sure what else I can do apart from hot glue but I doubt even that will fix the issue. Any help you can give me would be great

walmisOP•10/11/23, 5:57 AM

Probably the extension's male pins are slightly too short.
If you're not afraid of a bit of soldering you could push the adapter female pins in the adapter. I have a video on how to do it:

Other way would be to modify/replace the male connector.

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 10:12 AM

do you mean the WW extension or the VPforce adapter?

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 10:13 AM

I've already shortened the ww extension cable & put it back together twice I'm really not keen to pull that thing apart again

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 10:17 AM

sorry just read that a bit better

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 10:20 AM

guessing I just pull all the screws out of the adapter & pull it apart??

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 10:46 AM

Do I do this on both sides ie. all six pins for female side?

Only the three labeled ones

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 11:01 AM

oh, well I did all of them does that matter?

walmisOP•10/11/23, 11:03 AM

nope, you'll be fine, those other pins are not connected to anything

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 11:20 AM

still no good!!!

Wwalmis nope, you'll be fine, those other pins are not connected to anything 🙂

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 11:21 AM

debug shows all FF's now, is that bad?

Make sure you didn't short circuit 3.3V and GND pins on the female end (most likely)

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 11:23 AM

so the adapter is toast now?

walmisOP•10/11/23, 11:26 AM

no, it'll work fine after you unshort those pins

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 11:56 AM

OMFG !!!!! Got it! done, finally!

PiNKSH!T•10/11/23, 11:58 AM

thanks heaps m8

Wwalmis Yeah, there's a JST connector on the mainboard for the second pot

You'd need to undo the torx screws holding the rear plate (the one with the fan)

Good day all, trying to set XPforce up, for MSFS2020. I have TelemFFB, MSFS set to TRUE. XPforce licensed. I have trouble : If I go in the XPforce app once MSFS launched, at the Feedback menu, the case "Joystick Active" is sometime ON, sometimes OFF. It alterns fastly between checked and unchecked.
What's the problem? Somebody can help me to set it up correctly? Thank you much in advance.

smitty•10/12/23, 6:54 PM

you dont need both XPforce and TelemFFB. pick one.

smitty•10/12/23, 6:56 PM

TelemFFB is made specifically for vpforce and is rapidly developing.

N7783L•10/12/23, 8:12 PM

@walmis - Kit arrived safe and sound! Thanks so much!

mark turner•10/13/23, 7:00 AM

OK.....as its lost in the depths of previous posts above....can someone give a pointers as to how best to dial out oscillations if you move the stick when its not being gripped? I have gone back to my heavier TM F18 grip and needed to turn up the spring rate on the dial on the outside, to stop the stick sagging back under its own weight ( was using a lightweight F14 stick) But now it will bounce back and forth if you knock it.

mark turner•10/13/23, 7:02 AM

I am using the TM grip on the virpil z extension with no riser, what do people with the same combination have as settings please?

walmisOP•10/13/23, 7:02 AM

Can you show your current settings, I could give some suggestions

mark turner•10/13/23, 7:27 AM

will do shortly....thanks

mark turner•10/13/23, 8:04 AM

mark turner•10/13/23, 8:04 AM

walmisOP•10/13/23, 8:11 AM

Okay, try spring strength proportional damper at 100%, damper LPF - 6Hz, Spring LPF - 2-4Hz

mark turner•10/13/23, 8:18 AM

OK, have set those, but noticed in config, not getting anythin g reported in the raw data and blue circle?

mark turner•10/13/23, 8:19 AM

ok, re set made those wotk, ignore

mark turner•10/13/23, 8:41 AM

wow, sorted! and stick feels much better generally as well. Thanks Walmis!
