I just completed a DIY build from Protomakers guide and plans, which I found to be excellent, and it looks like the site you posted from Gadroc has a few changes to the gimbal components and the addition of screw inserts, but is very similar, and he recommends following Protomakers guide: https://github.com/protomaker964/Rhino-FFB-Clone-3D_Printed?search=1

TC-Durham•2/17/24, 2:03 AM

I swapped my base so instead of the red button being toward me, it is now to the side, effectively bringing the joystick base closer to the seat (my bum). I then swapped X and Y in DCS, but now the force trim does the opposite of what I want. It places the trimmer where the stick is, but on release does the reverse of what I want. Is there a fix for this or should I just go back to where I started with the big red button facing backward toward the chair?

TC-Durham•2/17/24, 2:03 AM

I guess I am asking is there a way to swap x and y in the vp rhino software?

smitty•2/17/24, 3:44 AM

swap axes and invert as needed in configurator. leave the game as it was

Hey, I put a google forms thing in a few days ago and haven't gotten any kind of confirmation. Should I have?

No. You can DM the !info <email > command to the VPForce bot to see your place in line.

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:34 PM

I want as much force as I can possibly get out of it, since no PC stick generates as much force as many real aircraft. Since the limiter setting felt to me like significantly more force than I get when settings are maxed I was wondering if there's a way to get more force out of it while using the stick normally. I don't expect there is, I just thought it was worth asking.

I'm also curious about it too. So if every slider is 100%, would the motors produce their stated peak torque at the end of the travel?

walmis•2/20/24, 7:23 AM

Basically at 100% spring the force is scaled linearly through the travel range (green line), you can also have a stiffer response, but saturated at travel edges (black line). The endstops have a very rapid rise of torque response vs travel giving the illusion of more force.
It's possible to increase spring gain above 100% using the spring "Gain Map" tool

So in order to achieve the peak torque output (ex. 9NM for rhino/57BLF03) at the end of the travel, is it necessary to go beyond 100% spring gain? Will it cause any damage to the motor etc?

Bob Bushman•2/20/24, 12:53 PM

They'll cut out into protection mode long before they get any damage

walmis•2/20/24, 12:59 PM

No, motors do achieve peak torque at peak travel. And no, motors are pretty robust, the only limiting factor is the temperature.

Hi everyone,

i have a question for @walmis and the TelemFFB Devs (looking at @Number481

) What would you recommendation for a yoke be? Is there a good Project with the VPForce Kit? Or is there a way to use Brunner Yokes with TelemFFB?

thanks!

Number481•2/20/24, 11:16 PM

Last question first, no, the Bruner won’t work with TelemFFB. The driver is very custom to VPForce.

If you search around, a few people have attempted yokes. I am not qualified to give mechanical design advise, but if I were going to try, I’d rip apart my Alpha yoke that has been collecting dust under my desk for 2 years and see what I could make out of the guts.

Anybody know if/when the VKB adapter will be updated to match the new VKB RevC connector that is now the standard? That’s what is on the current Gunfighter Mk4 sticks and the Gunfighter Mk3 base.
