DCS modules don't really support FFB rudders beyond telemetry, correct? Doubly so if you have a FFB stick?
MDepends on the module. Some have native DirectInput suport for FFB, others need to be extrapolated via telemetry
MWait I just saw you meant rudders.. nvmd
NIt doesn’t support them at all. It sends FFB data for the only two axes it knows to every FFB device that is connected. Which is actually worse than not supporting pedals at all.
AIs the VPforce FFB board saturated with axes in this setup?
Could the same board drive an FFB collective?
Could the same board drive an FFB collective?
WNo, only two FFB axis are supported
WThe other axes are auxiliary - from the grip, from the pot inputs
ABut the pedals would have only one FFB axis as would the collective, no?
AAnd then two aux axes from the toe brakes.
Wah, if you mean the same board to drive the pedals and collective - yes that's possible. But the software side.. would be awkward
AOr is it problematic to combine two FFB controls into one device like that?
WIt's better to have separate devices for specific functions
ACopy.
AConveniently I have just received complaints from my wife that the spring of my MFG Crosswinds is making too loud squeaky noises.
I know what I must do. ^^

SI've hade it for a week all is fine except today all the bindings went away and I couldn't use the Backup bindings. Think it's a DCS problem, but is there a way to prevent this to happen? 
SHm never had the issue try unplug und reconnect - hope that fixes your issue
JAll the bindings for all the aircraft are not set? Are your other control bindings still present ? There's usually backups of your bindings in the DCS saved games folder.
C:/users/USERNAME/Saved Games/DCS/config/input
C:/users/USERNAME/Saved Games/DCS/config/input
SJust the VP bindings is gone.
JFor all the aircraft or just one particular aircraft. The p-51 can do this to you.
SAll
JWere you able to find the backup control profile in your saved games folder? I wonder if your USB ID changed somehow ..?
SYes and that didn't work.
TOK, I'm trying to wrap my head around this 
. A few questions remain for clarification:
. A few questions remain for clarification:- I want to use hardware trim for HPG helos and for other MSFS helos, so I have to disable "
Sticky" and "Hardware Force Trim" in VPforce FFB Configurator? - Then I have to unbind ''
Helicopter Cyclic Longitudinaland ''Helicopter Cyclic Lateral" axis in MSFS or AAO (I'm using the latter) and bind "ROTOR_LATERAL_TRIM_DEC/INC" and "ROTOR_LONGITUDINAL_TRIM_DEC/INC", correct? - if I don't have a FFB collective, I just leave that axis untouched?
- I don't get the cyclic trim in non-HPG helos to work like with "
Hardware Trim Force". Is that because of "trim_following" not working yet with helicopters?
NI'll see if I can answer this all in one go...
- Disable sticky since that will preclude any external app from modifying the behavior of that effect. You can leave hardware trim enabled, but you will want to un-check override trim for the HPG
- TelemFFB has a "hardware force trim" (but not hat trimming) implementation that works with all helicopters
- TelemFFB needs to be the source of the axis position data for the cyclic since we are playing tricks on MSFS to make all these trim and AP implementations work (both here with the HPGs and with fixed-wing).
- For the HPG 145/160 beep trims, you can either bind the in-game "ROTOR...TRIM_DEC/INC" bindings or you can send the applicable H:Event 'Cyclic Beep Trim <Direction>' events from AAO
- Most helicopters don't have electric hat-type trimmers, so the generic 'trim following' implementation in TelemFFB has not been extended to work with generic helicopters. If you want to use the VPConf 'override trim' with other helicopters, you can make use of the dynamic vpconf profile switching feature in TelemFFB to load.
- The other as yet undocumented advice I would give is to be certain that your stick is set up so that with hands off, in any force-trimmed position, that the stick remains centered as that will be critical for the H145/H160 to operate correctly. (adaptive recentering will help here)
EAlso feel free to hit me up anytime. Once all is set up it's pretty much fire and forget.
RHi, I'm working through some ideas and prototypes for a physical "quick swap" installation on my aluminium profile rig. I don't have a cut out in my seat, so getting the stick as close to me as possible is a priority.
In that context, my rhino came with a power brick with a straight cord that sticks out a whole 5cm from the back. It's highly impractical. For me not to bend it, I have to design a mount that gives it that room as a minimum, at which point I might as well flip the damned thing, because the stick will be the same distance away from me.
I have seen a screenshot of a rhino with an angled power connector. Is this a known mod? I would like to get my hands on one.
Alternatively, is it possible to mount the rhino "sideways" and swap x and y axis in the software? (I haven't really gotten to the software part yet...)

JQuick question, since I'm preparing to get a kit later on for my own build: The faq says the control board can supply up to 30 amps to the motors, is this enough for the higher torque options (86BLF3/4) to reach their full potential?
Fwiw my design idea isn't necessarily to make a super powered version, just one with extra headroom and reduced heating.

AThe vibration (aka FFB) on Winwing F-16 Joystick with shake kit works on Rhino?
AI could be wrong but afaik no
JIt's not force feed back. It's vibration more like a buttkicker or rumble on a console gamepad. I've seen a few folks also confuse the Force sensing stick option with force feed back too. This is not the same.
AJust received my motor kit! Time to install and set everything up after work! Cheers! Big thanks to @walmis and @subsonic1748
Ihow long was the shipping?
SNow the fun starts...hit me up with any questions
AYeap I know I have it, but will I have it on a Rhino base as well?
GCant quantify but i guess around a week
JYes, You get both effects.
JI should qualify, that I don't know if you're winwing rumble will still work.
ANo need for winwing rumble on a Rhino. It does the same thing but much better.
AA week including a 2day national holiday in Europe.
ALol so something I noticed. The hardware section is m6x10 for the motors but the assy. Shows m6x16 lol so my screws be a little short
SWell that's an unfortunate typo....dang. Sorry.
I think you are the first live build from instructions.....gonna have to send you a case of beer for that and the corrections

AHaha all good glad to help out anyone else that’s gonna do it. Question. Is motor 1 and 2 specific to roll or yaw?
SYes, they are labeled as should be the control board.
