I launched TelemFFB as always and said yes to the auto-update after finished the new TelemFFB, which was displayed with the wrong UI size.
On the second error, I checked in System Settings the auto-launch and start headless for pedals and collective but I don't have collective, and because it is not visible, I couldn't enable the joystick option

why did you enable auto launch for a device you dont have?

if so.. check this folder for your backup... if not.. well... moving forward... you can check this folder for the backup from the previous version

Its a brand new feature that I shoved into the very last commit before this new version and didn't document anywhere..

Number481•1/9/24, 2:18 AM

Were you able to get the new version started with only the pedals selected in the launch options? Because of the error state you may need to delete the system settings from the registry... Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VPforce\TelemFFB you can just delete the whole TelemFFB key

just pushed a new build that should fix the DPI scaling, disallow erroneous autolaunch configs and allow you to at least startup with your corrupted registry settings (though you will see "cant connect to "FFFF:" errors)...

@walmis Recently, I've been experiencing frequent protective shutdowns on the Y-axis. I will make a video to show the situation. At that time, I will also share my debugging and configuration files. Could you help me take a look and see where the problem might be?

Edwin.Zhang•1/9/24, 5:32 AM

Edwin.Zhang•1/9/24, 5:33 AM

This issue often occurs during stall shuddering and the instant of firing the machine gun, and it always results in a shutdown of the Y-axis.

walmis•1/9/24, 5:36 AM

Hey, try reducing the damper/inertia/friction LPFs in the configurator, I see you use all the effects simultaneously (damper/inertia/friction) so that might cause instabilities with the current settings.

Edwin.Zhang•1/9/24, 5:39 AM

What would be the appropriate values to set for each LPF?

walmis•1/9/24, 5:43 AM

Try experimenting, but I've found down to 2Hz is slow, but reliable

No worries, your Rhino is safe, motors enter into self protection if there is unusual stuff happening.

hey m8, is runway rumble supposed to be on 750%?

PPiNKSH!T hey m8, is runway rumble supposed to be on 750%?

Number481•1/9/24, 12:26 PM

hah.. runway rumble is one of those weird effects that didn't blow up if you set the value higher than 1.0 in the original configs and I think there were some aircraft that had that set as the default.

One of the new aspects of this new UI is that the settings sliders can be made so that they only offer a useful range, even though they display %0-100.

So many of the usable effect intensity values are in the 0.1-0.2 range, that the sliders are actually applying a scaling factor under the hood to 1.) only provide a usable setting range and 2.) give more granularity inside that setting range.

So there are some artifacts like that (%750) on a few of the old default values.

Number481•1/9/24, 12:27 PM

the slider range for the runway rumble may need to be adjusted (in a subsequent version)

NNumber481 hah.. runway rumble is one of those weird effects that didn't blow up if you se...

PiNKSH!T•1/9/24, 12:27 PM

ahh ok lol, once I touched that slider & set it to full it's at 100%, hiting the 'x' will put it back to 750%

Number481•1/9/24, 12:28 PM

yeah, the x button reverts the setting to what is in the default config

Number481•1/9/24, 12:32 PM

BTW, since you migrated from source.. you can take your old user config and drop it in the exe folder. If it is named config.user.iniconfig.user.ini, telemFFB will see it when starting and offer to convert those settings to the new model for you.

If it has a different name, you will need to start telemFFB with the -o <userconfig filename>-o <userconfig filename> runtime flag in order for it to pick it up for conversion.

common occurence for apps bundled with pyinstaller.. Windows defender and some other AV tools will sometimes flag a given build as a virus. This is because it is written in Python and compiled with ‘pyinstaller’ which can sometimes result in certain partial file hashes that have been previously found in low tech malware that is commonly also written in Python and compiled with pyinstaller
