Just worked it out, had the axis reversed in DCS, put those back and reversed in the VP software and now all good

walmis•2/19/24, 5:05 PM

Easy 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?

ArewOP•2/19/24, 5:06 PM

i 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

ArewOP•2/19/24, 5:07 PM

though i thought about using tape to cover the damaged section to try and screw it on but didn’t want to risk damaging it more if it was salvageable

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:29 PM

Hey guys, I'm using the TM Hornet grip. Set to generic in VPForce settings. Currently the 1st stage trigger activates ALL buttons simultaneously, and no other buttons work at all. It was this way at first a week or two ago when I first put this grip on so I asked here, then it fixed itself so I told you all was well. Now it's doing it again. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:38 PM

Sitting here unable to fly in the meantime.

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:43 PM

Even if I set grip to "disabled" it still does the same thing.

Number481•2/19/24, 6:44 PM

are you using an extension?

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:45 PM

Yes, but FWIW it was working when I shut down the PC before the weekend and none of that has been touched since.

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:46 PM

Actually wait, I did loosen the grip a bit to twist it a little more left from where it was.. and that may have been after it was tested working. I'll take it apart and replug I guess. Was trying not to mess with it since I got it exactly where I want it.

Number481•2/19/24, 6:46 PM

personally I would want to rule out the extension (I had issues with my Virpil 200mm offset). See how it behaves directly connected to the rhino

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:47 PM

I can't actually use it without the extension, or the grip is turned round the wrong way.

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:48 PM

But I can test that if it still doesn't work properly after I replug the extension cable a couple times.

Number481•2/19/24, 6:51 PM

not meant to be a alternative configuration.. just to see whether it is the grip or the extension that is causing the issue

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:53 PM

I know I'm not the first who has found that with the Rhino mounted the way it's meant to be, it's too far forward if you don't have a seat with a cutout in the center for the stick!

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:53 PM

And thank you, the extension was not loose at all, but after unplugging and replugging the bottom end it works! I tried replugging the top first, and that didn't help, but the bottom did.

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:55 PM

I'm now suspicious that this might be a recurring problem, but at least now I know where the problem is so many thanks for the help.

TripRodriguez•2/19/24, 6:56 PM

I have a different extension cable to try too. It's not a virpil extension but I'm using the virpil extension cable. I have the annoying super short cable that came with the non-virpil extension to try if this happens again.

harf4ng•2/20/24, 10:21 AM

hi, is it possible to change the centering of the rhino? I would like it to be closer to me when it is idle. Thanks

harf4ng•2/20/24, 10:23 AM

also, I use the rhino with a virpil delta constellation prime grip, and most features of the grip work except the lights, and the left thumb stick. Is it normal?

Eraseri•2/20/24, 5:45 PM

Hi, just received the Rhino today. So far so good. I'm using WinWing adapter with Winwing F-16EX grip. The grip has "shaker" -part. Obviously the shaker doesn't work. However, the addon part has few extra axis and buttons. Most of the buttons on addon part work. Nevertheless, none of the three axis work and also few buttons dont work. I highlighted non-working buttons/axes with red circle

walmis•2/20/24, 6:16 PM

Did you select the "WinWing Adapter" grip profile?

Wwalmis Did you select the "WinWing Adapter" grip profile?

Eraseri•2/20/24, 6:17 PM

Yep. The black 5-hat on the addon-part works. Additionally, push button for the grey axis-hat does work

walmis•2/20/24, 6:18 PM

Those axes you highlighted should work too

Eraseri•2/20/24, 6:22 PM

I see. Pinkie brake-lever axis for example works. Also the switches on that work

walmis•2/20/24, 6:25 PM

I recall one instance when the axes didn't work at first, all that was needed was to calibrate the axes on a WinWing base with their software

Eraseri•2/20/24, 6:35 PM

You have now another instance that needed calibration with winwing base and software. It solved it, Thanks a lot

harf4ng•2/21/24, 9:46 AM

the compatibility with grips is just a firmware issue? Not hardware? So we can imagine if some features are not working, they could work later on? I wonder about my virpil delta prime constellation grip, some features like the left thumb stick that do not work. Thanks

My rhino is not seen on Greast battles il 2 sturmovik. I reinstalled the game. deleted input folder deleted content of updsaates. Cant get it to work. it did before

bert•2/21/24, 2:23 PM

Hey again, got another A2A Comanche question.. I tried different settings on the Elevator Prop Flow settings, but there seems to be no effect. Even with full RPM on the ground the Elevator Droop effect doesn't decrease its force, this can't be correct right? I'm also not seeing the effect appear in the monitoring tab of the TelemFFB software. Edit: Elevator Droop effect shows up, Prop Flow doesn't.

Il2 sometimes is fussy if there more HID devices connected, you can try different USB sockets, or hiding other devices using

Panny•2/21/24, 2:49 PM

Hi there, any advice would be greatly appreciated if any of you happen to know off the top of your head. I use the monster tech chair and plan to have the base product as a centre mount. Due to its size it looks likely I'll need to get an extension. I use Virpil and Thrustmaster grips. Is there a recommended extension to get(and possibly length if you happen to know) as I read the Virpil extension doesn't work so well with the base. Thanks to anyone who can help

Number481•2/21/24, 3:59 PM

seems the comanche reports prop thrust = 0, which is what TelemFFB looks at. Its probably in an L:var similar to the autopilot (which is also why ap following doesn't work)

nothing simple, no (that wouldn't involve running from source and hacking the L:var into TelemFFB).

back here with another question.. setting up the meanwell LRS-350-24 for the power supply right now. searching for instructions on here i see instructions by walmis to set the output voltage to 20V via the potentiometer, but when i measure mine it can only do 21V at the lowest setting. is that fine?

In DCS how can I compensate for the weight of an off centre grip?

I have the Virpil Z adaptor but on releasing the trip button it always droops back a little, the balance spring effect doesn't seem to have an effect in the game

walmis•2/22/24, 8:48 AM

🧰support
Also you can use the "static force" to compensate for the off-center weight like the Z adapter

You can roughly calculate: 22deg * endstop%

Just like to say a huge thanks for such a great bit of hardware, but probably more importantly the fantastic software to go with it

Fierce_Fire•2/22/24, 2:49 PM

Likely some feedback for telemffb, but with the newest version I experience some wierd effect in the f15, where at high speed and large sudden stick movements the stick starts to oscillate wildly. I assume this has something to do with g-effects and it being a delayed response compared to stick input. Ive tried to replicate this in the f18 and f16 but havent found the same extreme oscillation.

Fierce_Fire•2/22/24, 2:49 PM

I can send a video of what it looks like in the configurator

Fierce_Fire•2/22/24, 3:05 PM

a video of what im talking about

somehow did this over the weekend, is this recoverable or will i need to replace that whole part?
