I assume you tried different motherboard USB sockets or plugging everything directly to the motherbo

MI did change to EVERY damn port on the M/B.
Turns out it was the USB hub power brick. It's powered by a USB-C so i was using a phone charger that happened to be JUST sufficient. It was flimsy enough that it would eventually give up and stop sending 5V reliably, causing the whole issue. A different power source seems to have solved all issues.
To restate: the Rhino was definitely NOT the cause.
Thanks for taking the time to interact, @walmis. 10/10 would buy a second Rhino. (it's a joke...)

MI mean the buy part. I meant the 10/10
Vcoult it be something in telem ffb?
Nunlikely, TelemFFB only sends axis information to DCS in a couple very rare instances (trim following for the Harrier and one or 2 other modules).. but it would be pretty easy to find out
VI don't understand what is happening....last time I tried the apache, it was working flawlessly
Vnow I have this strange reset issue.
HA good rule of thumb is to always ensure the power supply you grab out of the random electronics box in the closet meets or exceeds the wattage required by the thing you're about to plug it into to prevent problems.
I had a similar issue a while back with a wireless router acting strange and it wound up being an underpowered power supply

Nwithout any real valuable advice to give.. I would say remove any mods you may have installed and do a slow DCS repair (if you've not already done that)
HDid you try cleaning out your saved games folder yet?
HThe other good choice is the slow repair or a complete module reinstall
VI just discoved that I have the same issue in every module with trim, so Fox example also mirage F1 and f14
VYes I did a slow repair
VI tried to delete the files in input folder...still no joy
VNow I deleted all the saved games folder
VAnd checking again
VOk saved games destroyed...issue still there
V

Wthat's weird, can you make a video with the DCS input overlay showing?
VI did...too big to put here
Wyoutube private vid?
V
VThis one is from the phone
VI recorded also with obs directly in game
V
Vthis one is uploaded from PC
WHmm, i'm not following. So you set the trim at the edge and it slowly returns to center by itself?
VIt is difficult to show
VBut the problem is that the physical stick is trimmed...as I touch it, the in game ones resets.
VLook at the start of the video...I have the stick trimmed to the right....the in games one resets to center (without me pressing reset trim). But the physical one stays there
VAlso the in game one wobbles (like there was other conflicting inputs) but the physical stick doesn't move at all
VLook at 00:23 the in game stick is centered. The physical one is trimmed to the left
VAnd you can see also the wobble some seconds later
VI got it
VIt's break out force setting in VPforce software
WAhh, yeah it's a bit broken atm
Wworks only without trim
VYeah....my troubleshooting skills noticed that 
VI thought about it, because I noticed a small delay when moving the stick
Phi,@walmis, to add to issue @virusam is reporting:
- vpforce hw trim gets reset on P47 / Mossie when the aircraft reaches around ~110-120mph airspeed on landing, essentially making landing on hw trim a pretty dangerous affair
I'm not sure if you're aware of this issue, or seen anyone reporting it..
WYou mean hw trim with override?
Pyup, that one..
Pwhen it overrides the spring center in the AC, for some reason it resets to DCS's spring center at slow speed..
Pyou can feel the stick forcefully move in your hand...
WI'll check, maybe DCS resets it somehow
PI appreciate it, @walmis ! thank you, sir.
VI solved it @peachmonkey it was breakout force for me
Pgotcha, i'm not using the breakout force, so it's a different issue it seems..
SSo I need to check Force Trim in the VP configuration Tool to be able to FFB Trim Helis in DCS right?
NIn DCS? No.
DCS implements FFB (and force trim) natively. Some helicopters (like the Mi-24) also have hat-trimmers.. that all works without any special config in vpconf.
