Thank you. I'll check things tomorrow. I didn't realize the trim release stuff was specific to each aircraft.
NNo problem. I need to make it so the “red x” persists even after you pause. Otherwise you don’t know anything is wrong if you pause the sim before looking at the TelemFFB window 
EI haven't been able to try the latest 160 build but if it works for the 145 it should work for the 160 as well.
Are you sure you are on "none" and "hardware" on the 160 tablet as well?

CAt some point in the past I think I set up my rhino to have a forward offset center point. Today, I rotated my base 180deg to get better clearance with my SimFab chair (brilliant idea I stole from someone here). For the life of me though, I can't remember how to reset or flip the offset.
CI figured I had just done it with endstops and axis rescale, but resetting that does nothing.
CAww heck, disregard, I figured it out. It was because I was in a DCS aircraft and it was applying a new center point.
WThis may seem like an odd question, but I have a neurological condition that requires I ask this.
Can and how would the Rhino counteract an ~8hz oscillation of input with an amplitude of +/- 10 to 15% of the intended input force? Does it have the ability to smooth/dampen that level of variation of force input?
In a mechanical dampener system this would be smoothed out by the resistance induced by the flow of hydraulic fluid... how would/could the servo coding be adjusted to mimic that dampening effect?

TThere are dampening and friction effects that can be tuned by the user. This is then all done via electronics rather than by hydraulic fluids like you mentioned. As far as your use case, it’s hard to say how well it could manage those oscillations but from my experience the dampening and friction can truly be felt and tuned so I think it is possible.
TWith no feedback from a game or in games that have no feedback implemented the Rhino behaves like a standard spring stick but has all the features of the other high end bases out there in terms of tuneability for friction, dampening, etc. So you could crank the dampening up to help with the oscillations. Maybe also crank the spring down so you have less force needed to push the stick to the required deflections.
TYou would ultimately end up tuning for your needs but hopefully that helps show how things could be adjusted.
WFor what it's worth I was thinking if it couldn't mimic it through code, it could be done with a 2 axis hydraulic dampening using something like 1/12 scale RC offroad truck dampeners mounted between a custom housing and the stick. Would be tricky to tune it, but might be fun to design regardless.
TThe dampening and friction effects built into the Rhino’s base software options would be equivalent to the 2 axis hydraulic dampening as you described. Much easier to tune though because it’s all done on a slider in the software rather than changing fluids/geometry of the physical dampeners
WI'm sure it would be easier to change via the software. But there are two questions my mind wants answered now.
1: Which would "feel" better.
2: Would a hydraulic dampener ease the momentary workload of the servo motor/controller and allow longer lifespan.

2: Would a hydraulic dampener ease the momentary workload of the servo motor/controller and allow longer lifespan.
WIf the software has to compensate 12 times a second for these input variances, there would be "some" delay in the compensation (probably not noticeable consciously), but it would also force the motor controllers to change their output 12 times a second putting possibly more wear on both controller and the motor.
A couple weeks of testing hydraulic flow dampening rates using various dampening disks might pay off in the long run when it comes to durability.

WThe servo's lifespan isn't affected whether it has damping enabled or not. It's basically an axle with magnets riding on 2 bearings, no other surfaces make contact.
The software update loop runs at 1khz, so that's 1000 updates a second.

WAnd the controller sending power to the servo? Having to reverse current that often?
WIt's all solid state
MHi, is there any way to disable effect in vpforce telem app? I find annoying feature on high g turns, stick moves where g force vector goes. It's like inverted stick stiffness on high speed with warbirds. And I don't want to disable telem app, because it gives a lot good effects except this one
C@walmis I hooked up a 2kW 24V/80A power-supply to our rig as a main source. We have a DIY-FFB JS with two standard-motors 57BLF03, a DIY-FFB JS with 2x 86BLF04 and FFB-Rudder with 1x 86BLF04. Shure the JS will not be used together, but i stumbeled over the input-fields for the max-current. ive set them to 30A for all motors what is, mo my understanding, the limit of the driver. But the max-value for the PSU is limited to 25A. Does it make sense to allow a higher value like the 80A for our case as a fix for a next release?
BThat did it!! Thanks
EPerfect! 
NDid you try un-ticking the effect checkboxes in TelemFFB? I’d suggest starting with the one called “G Force”
OComments like this make me curious whether I’m running the right version of telemffb… mine has no checkboxes
SNewest WIP Version: https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/TelemFFB/?C=M;O=D

OAh that’d do it! I’m using stable
Mfound in config file, disabled deceleration force. That one was bugging me
NSorry, I have a tendency to assume everyone is running the wip version.. which greatly simplifies config management
Mi will try it thank you
thank you 
AFor the throw limiters available for purchase would a higher number mean more throw? I bought mine with the 11deg one but want to add more range. Should I order say a 14 or 15 degree one maybe both? Thanks
AIf I remember correctly the limiters are numbered by the degrees of travel
Aif you want to order a limiter but don't know exactly which one, maybe you can try to remove the one you have now, move the stick around (perhaps try the software limiters) to see where you'd like the limits to be, make note of the numbers and ask walmis what that means in degrees
OThere's a minor UI bug with the WIP version of TelemFFB - with windows desktop scaling set, some of the UI gets cut off
TI think I'm close with the HPG 145 setup, but it doesn't feel 100% yet. Could someone with a good config show me a screenshot of the configurator and TelemFFB? Been going through all the docs and searching in here...
SQuick question. I’m getting some noise in the pitch axis of my stick. Popping off the cover it seems to be a bit of a tolerance thing where the metal rod goes into the 3d print. I tried snugging up those 4 screws, but it still seems to be rubbing there or something. Any advice is appreciated!
Athanks andy!
Nwhat res and scaling are you running? I've already implemented what's possible inside the PyQT framework for handling windows scaling. I only have the ability to test at 1440p, but my understanding was that it was resolved after that fix (was quite bad at first)
O1920x1080, 125%
Oi have a small screen for the desktop, and use VR for flying, so the scaling is turned up a little to be able to read the screen 
NInteresting.. I guess I never considered that anyone would use scaling at 1080p I just tested and do see a little clipping of the text and checkboxes. Will have to see if I can adjust the widget properties to accommodate it

NThe important bits from a TelemFFB perspective are:
The “hands on/off” detection depends on proper centering ability.
The other important bit is to make sure the helicopter is set up properly in its in-game settings.
If your running the latest version installed by Hype Operations Center, follow the guidance in the TelemFFB manual on setting up the iPad.
If your running the latest dev builds, follow the guidance in this page : https://davux.com/docs/h145/SETTINGS.html#setup-v2
Hands-on detection = None
Trim system= hardware
- Make sure you bind the trim release in the TelemFFB settings.
- Make sure you have enough spring force enabled in your configurator profile that the joystick can properly sit centered when hands off.

AWhile you're tightening stuff, also check the five bolts on each large pulley. I had some clunking coming from them, and a 1/8 turn on each bolt sorted it out.
WAlso try additionally tightening the small pulley grub screw (2mm Hex), from the sound it could be that also.
TThanks for your input!
Did follow all the docs, but the missing piece might be spring force, and adaptive centering as I'm using a long extension and a heavy thrustmaster grip

SThanks guys for the recommendations! While it wasn’t those in particular (I did snug them up a bit though) I found it was actually the bolts holding in the grip attachment. It was just under the dust boot, so I didn’t think about them earlier. If they do get loose again I might throw some thread lock in them if it’s safe to do.
GN00b here 
Just trying to set the stick up in DCS, have FFB ticked in settings and stick set to instant trim.
Problem is the stick recenters after I've clicked trip, ie it always wants to stay centered rather than staying in position.
Had a good read through but nothings jumping out at me.

GHad another play, it's not recentering, if I go 20d to the right and click trim the stick jumps to 20d left.
If I click trim reset, it centres

Asomehow did this over the weekend, is this recoverable or will i need to replace that whole part?
GJust worked it out, had the axis reversed in DCS, put those back and reversed in the VP software and now all good
WEasy replacement, but I see only the top part is damaged so I guess it should hold the grip until a replacement arrives.
Maybe the grip was not fully tightened or was it cross-threaded?

Ai imagine i cross threaded it unfortunately, main problem is now the damaged side doesn’t thread at all so it screws on lopsided and doesn’t tighten properly
