I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 3:33 PM

you need to enter the whole command first:
cd C:\Users\Jose\Downloads\VPforce-TelemFFB-wip-dbdbb26fcd C:\Users\Jose\Downloads\VPforce-TelemFFB-wip-dbdbb26f
Then you can enter:
VPforce-TelemFFB.exeVPforce-TelemFFB.exe

no, you dont need to delete anything from DCS. The export script that TelemFFB adds will still be there, but its fine.

Something is corrupted in your folder. Best to just delete it and start over.

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 3:39 PM

Thanks for your help, will delete and stat again

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 3:42 PM

Same problem with just new install , wont start andf also I cannot read files

For the sake of trying something different, maybe try moving it from your downloads folder? Or a sfs /scannow from an elevated command prompt?

Number481•12/2/23, 3:47 PM

You had it running at one point though? Something is fundamentally wrong here...

Do this that I had previously said from the CLI

cd C:\Users\Jose\Downloads\VPforce-TelemFFB-wip-dbdbb26f
Then you can enter:
VPforce-TelemFFB.exe

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 4:08 PM

I got this

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 4:08 PM

Click yes?

Number481•12/2/23, 4:08 PM

thats normal when there are updates to the export script or when you are installing for the first time. Yes, hit 'Yes'

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 4:09 PM

And on this? click on anything or leave it alone?

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 4:10 PM

Number481•12/2/23, 4:11 PM

leave it.. when you load an aircraft in DCS it will start showing the telemetry and generating the effects

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 4:13 PM

Awesome , thanks a lot

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 4:28 PM

The 109 in DCS has no engine rumble effect, I just add it in the config file to make it work?

it shouldn't actually be needed there since it is enabled in the "[DCS.PropellerAircraft]" section. The config is a hierarchical model.

[DCS.PropellerAircraft]
...
...
    engine_rumble = yes                        # Enable rumble effect (default = 0 (disabled)) - 1=enabled, 0=disabled)                # DCS/MSFS

[DCS.PropellerAircraft]
...
...
    engine_rumble = yes                        # Enable rumble effect (default = 0 (disabled)) - 1=enabled, 0=disabled)                # DCS/MSFS

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/2/23, 6:51 PM

But when I fly the 109 I dont get engine rumble effect.

What about any other warbird. Does it play there?

Unless you disabled it under [DCS.PropellerAircraft][DCS.PropellerAircraft], you don’t need to add it to the 109 config section.

Are you sure that TelemFFB is receiving the telemetry properly from DCS? You should see a bunch of data in the TelemFFB window if so.

After you have loaded into the 109, and the effect is not playing, drop the log that gets generated in the “log” folder of the TelemFFB directory into this channel and I will take a look.

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 12:44 AM

I get nothing in the TelemFFB window

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 12:45 AM

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 12:52 AM

It wont allow me to upload the log

II/JG7_Moto It wont allow me to upload the log

Number481•12/3/23, 2:16 AM

really need to see the whole log. you should be able to just drag the log file from a windows exloerer window into this discord channel window and then send it

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:04 AM

Got a message it was to big to upload.

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:05 AM

Also now TelemFFB wont start at all, so deleted the folder and created a new one, and wont work either

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:05 AM

Now neither WIP or stable version of Telem FFB works.

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:06 AM

I think I might need to delete every trace of it and start again, might be a trace somewhere that dont allow it to work

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:08 AM

I have no idea what is making this so difficult in my PC

Number481•12/3/23, 3:22 AM

TelemFFB, for all its complexity, is quite a simple app. It does not "install" per-se. It only exists inside the folder where you un-zip it. Delete that folder and its entirely gone. The only exception is the export script for DCS, but there is nothing you could do to that script that would cause TelemFFB not to start up.

You were having problems getting TelemFFB to start at all initially, what did you do differently that you got the app to even start up? You never said.

A log file that is too big to upload to discord? Thats hard to believe.. how big is it? If its failing and not even establishing communications with a sim, it should be measured in kilobytes.. pretty sure the standard file size limit for discord is 25MB...

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:31 AM

I made it work the very first time I installed it had machine guns effect , ground roll etc

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:32 AM

Then did not work

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:33 AM

Thru cmd and the instructions you gave me it started , but I could not feel any effects

Number481•12/3/23, 3:49 AM

you can try to zip up the log file which should make it smaller (right click on the log file and select "Compress to Zip File").

I need better descriptions. "It won't work" does not help me figure out what is going on. If there are error messages or popups, I need to know.

I need you to try running it from a command prompt like you did before and tell me what it says.

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:54 AM

cmd makes it start

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:54 AM

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:58 AM

Now its working with effects

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:58 AM

when I started from cmd

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 3:59 AM

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 4:05 AM

All the effects are working

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 4:06 AM

So the problems seems to be the exe file to start TelemFFB

Number481•12/3/23, 4:06 AM

I can't imagine how a pc could even be set up that would make it not start by double clicking the exe.. are you creating a shortcut somewhere? Are you sure you aren't accidentally creating a copy of the exe instead of a shortcut?

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 4:07 AM

I did creted a shortcut the first time to the desktop and since it did not worked I deleted it

I/JG7_MotoOP•12/3/23, 4:08 AM

I just closed and tried to start it with the exe and it wont start

Are files installed in DCS I need to delete?
