hmm alright, any way i could go about fixing that? sounds like the comanche needs some love!

Nnothing simple, no (that wouldn't involve running from source and hacking the L:var into TelemFFB).
I've been working on some stuff to try to accommodate these corner cases but I haven't been able to dedicate too much time to it recently

Byeah i can see how it is a pain to accomodate every module when stuff is different all the time.
LThanks. Disconnecting another usb device helped.
Bback 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?
TWhere can I find this HID Hide utility?

W@bert Yes, it's fine
@TonyM Yes, that's the one

GIn 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

GJust found that thank you 
I want to print a plate to restrict the angle, I can set it in the software for soft endstops is there anyway in the software I can see what angle I'm restricting this to so once I'm happy with the restriction by using the software I know what angle to print the plate for?

WYou can roughly calculate: 22deg * endstop%
GJust like to say a huge thanks for such a great bit of hardware, but probably more importantly the fantastic software to go with it
FLikely 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.
FI can send a video of what it looks like in the configurator
Fa video of what im talking about
Fnote the stick input, all im doing is pulling back then letting go to make it very clear, but this also happens if you pull back and attempt to keep it there
WDebug tab would be more useful, since it shows loaded effects
WHave you tried disabling the G effect?
Fhave tried reducing its effectiveness but not disabling it
Fdo you mean vpconfig debug or telemffb monitor screen?
Fcause this is all that the debug screen shows, the removeeffect appears every time the stick hits the front limiter
Fhere is telemffbs data, and disabling the g effect did seem to remove the oscillations
NThe G-Force effect is far from perfect, but there isn't really a perfect way to implement it since DCS is already in control of the spring force and axis offset.
Some aircraft are quite pitchy with very little control input, which results in extremely fast moving "g force" telemetry, which results in the oscillations you are feeling. The P51 is the same way.
Best suggestion is to play with the min/max and curve settings to try to tame it down. Min/Max are pretty self explanatory
, the curve setting affects how the force is applied between min/max.
This section in the manual talks about the old config file settings, but the concept is the same: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YL5DLkiTxlaNx_zKHEYSs25PjmGtQ6_WZDk58_SGt8Y/edit#heading=h.aoiri2v9r6pg

CHey, been loving my Rhino so far. Had a question regarding the spring function.
I am a CH-47 mechanic, and I'm doing flight control binding checks, I noticed that the "spring" worked differently than the Rhino in my current setup. Pushing the trimmer for center works correctly, however in the 47 and I assume other helicopters, the amount of force required to move the stick from center is the same near the limits as it is at the center. Is there somewhere in the settings I can make this spring more linear? Requiring the same force at the end as near the center point?

FYou could try to change the gain curve to flat in the spring section, it's a button right next to where you change the spring force
Cwill give that a go this evening
Ccurrently toying with it
WThe spring force linearity is the same - center vs any other trimmed position, maybe some other variables are at play here.
Cto me it seems that it requires a good bit more force at the ends than near the center
Cwell I gave it a reset, and it seems to be acting as intended. Sorry about the confusion.
GStop Switch Not Woking...
Worked fine when I first used it but noticed over the last 2 days it's now stopped working and the stick is powered if it is in or out.
Is this something I've disable in software?

DJust take the back panel off and retighten the nut on the bottom of the Emergency stop.
GNut was fully tight, wiggled the plastic base and it started working, buzzed it with a multimeter while wiggling and it didn't change so working now. See how long it stays that way
FCould also try contact spray if it stops working again
JI've had this problem on and off for a while. I can't really figure out what is causing it. But, sometimes on start up of the rhino the stick wont spring force center. There are no simulated spring forces and Hardware trim wont work. If I enable "sticky" spring forces, the hardware trim works and all the spring forces work normally. sometimes I can get the base to "activate" the spring forces by unplugging, plugging, changing usb ports, removing power, or restarting the pc. but, Like now. none of those are working.
WCan you screenshot the app window with the effects/settings/debug tab open while this is occuring?
GHeeeeelp, I have a really weird issue...
If I have the stick plugged in and choose to fly the Gazelle, the collective jumps to 60%. If I move MY collective you can see it trying to respond but immediatly jumps back to 60%
If I unplug the stick the collective works fine.
It only does this on the Gazelle unless I unplug the stick then plug it back in, in which case all heli's now go to 60% collective.
All other mappings have been removed and the only thing bound to collective in axis is my virpil collective, there is also nothing mapped to collective in buttons.

R@Glaive(Rikk) With the VPC joystick tester open, do you see any interference with the collective axis when you move either of the Rhino axis after raising the collective?
If not, the only thing I think it can be is a dual binding in the DCS controls. I know you’ve checked but I’d look at the DCS controls tab again and, if you still don’t see the axis bound on the Rhino, clear the bindings on both controllers. Hit OK to exit the controls tab then go back in and rebind as necessary.

GProblem solved after lots of digging, seems to be the only module where both the pilot and copilot controls are ALWAYS active. Removed all the controls from the copilot and now it flies fine.
JI did a bit of digging. It looks like windows turned on USB suspend mode after an update. I disabled this on all the usb ports in the device manager and In the power plan settings. I'll let you know if this still happens.
BMy X-Axis started to feel weird today, when i move it left and right i feel a rumble/knocking that feels like the engine rumble effect. Telem software is off. The Y Axis is totally smooth when moving it over the center. Slowly moving the stick over the center feels smooth. Changing the center with forcetrim also changes the rumble location.
These are my settings, playing around with them changes the intensity but doen't fully get rid of it, i can still feel it with 90% Gain and 40% Spring, everything else at 0.

FWhen I pull my stick to the right, at the center of the draw, base makes a sound of plastic getting force and grip feels like it's ticking. And after the center of the draw, it moves smoothly.
In the other direction, it moves smoothly to the end.
Should I open the base and tighten something?

AEasiest to check are the five bolts on each large pulley. I tigtened mine a 1/8 turn, and clunks went away. There were also one or two bases with clicks in the stick connector - alu tube -interface. Lemme find the original post real quick.
AAAnd maybe the small pulley grub screws, on the motor axles. They were really tight on mine, didn't dare to tighten them more.
FThank you for your advice! I'll try that!
AYou're welcome! Hope it works 
TI periodically unscrew and lift the leather boot and tighten the screws holding the stick in the gimbal, as well as the bolts that hold the motor in place.
FGood tips! Thank you!
Hhi, how do I use the force trim in dcs with the huey and the rhino? thanks
