When I have spring at max in vpforce configurator and I push/pull against the force the motors prett

When I have spring at max in vpforce configurator and I push/pull against the force the motors pretty quickly go into overcurrent fault and the stick needs to be unplugged/replugged.

My psu is 180w/20v so I have max psu current set to 9a and max motor current set to 30. Should these be higher? Are there other settings I should be looking at too?

I found the solution to the weird rumble / knocking feeling had in my X-Axis. Turned out the upper screw on the base connector of the Virpil S-Curve worked it's way loose. All other screws were tight. If this happens again i might have to turn down the rumble a bit.. Putting this here i case anyone else has this problem and Ctrl+F's the Discord for "Knocking" or "Rumble" like me.

Looking at the picture, I see the extension is touching the seat. Did you have to adjust limits in the software? Would it work better if you raise the whole thing a little bit?

Asger•2/26/24, 5:21 PM

Yours is DiY I think. Maybe measures are not the same with the VP one.

bert•2/26/24, 5:26 PM

There is a gap between extension and seat, with just a little room at max. deflection. Yes, the base is DIY, the connector is lower so it accomodates the 20 cm S-Curve perfectly IMO.

Asger•2/26/24, 5:39 PM

Cool. I think it is a matter of trial and error with finding the right spot. Nice done!!

Aiva•2/26/24, 6:17 PM

I have several modules on DCS and almost all of them work ok with Rhino. But on A-10C and A-10C II the stick is not centered but is as on the image from control indicator! Any idea why?

It’s how the A-10 rolls, I use end stops and rescale, works well. I think about 30 forward, not home right now.

mechsickoOP•2/26/24, 7:42 PM

Still trying to figure this out. For reference, this is when in the vpforce configurator page, not in game. That being if spring is set to 100% and gain to 100% and I start pushing/pulling against it the motors overload protection shuts them down very quickly. Is this normal?

Will setting max amps above 30A damage the motors if they are able to be kept cool? My fan hasn't kicked on once aside from the test menu and being 92mm and directly above the motors will cool them well if needed..

Hmm, sounds like could be an issue with earlier motor firmware. Try setting max motor current to 28-29, does this help?

AndyHill•2/26/24, 8:23 PM

could loc-tite be an option on those extension screws?

mechsickoOP•2/27/24, 2:23 AM

Tried at 28 and 29 and still did it. Also did it at 25 which it was set to by default.

walmis•2/27/24, 11:50 AM

Hi, if the motor is powered, indicated by the LED, check the communication wire link, most likely there's a problem there.

walmis•2/27/24, 2:06 PM

Can you post your settings and showcase the behaviour?

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:06 PM

hold on

at full defection, then release it only returns to that point in pic 3

walmis•2/27/24, 2:11 PM

Your spring is at 20%

walmis•2/27/24, 2:11 PM

No, never calibrate in windows

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:12 PM

at 100%

TTinman at 100%

walmis•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

You can set max current to 30A too

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

so i have to set it at 100% for it to work like a rudder?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

Yeah

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

ok thanks. I wonder because look how the axis is in windows in comparison with the configurator. I'm full in the corner in the calibrator and not in windows.

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:13 PM

lol, damn, looks like i dont need leg days... lol

Hharf4ng ok thanks. I wonder because look how the axis is in windows in comparison with t...

walmis•2/27/24, 2:14 PM

That's how windows calibrator displays it, it won't go further

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:15 PM

ok. so if I find I have to push the stick too much forward for full forward move I just adjust dcs axis saturation?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:15 PM

You can also use axis scaling feature

walmis•2/27/24, 2:16 PM

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:16 PM

at 50% means if the axis is at 50%, for windows it is at 100%?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:16 PM

yep

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:18 PM

ok thanks. Will try that. btw are those the default settings and are they good, knowing that I use a heavy grip with something like a 30/40 cm extension?

TTinman so i have to set it at 100% for it to work like a rudder?

Number481•2/27/24, 2:23 PM

you certainly shouldn't need %100 spring force to center the pedals (unless maybe they are direct drive).. I run my pedals at %60, and much lower in game settings (with TelemFFB) and they center just fine.

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:24 PM

ouch I clicked on reset config, because I thought it will just do that on screen, and it did that in firmware as well so load settings do not work. Next time I'll export my settings

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:24 PM

I only want to set it to 30%, it would be perfect. Thing is, as walmis sait, it wont center quick enough to act like a rudder at 30%

Hharf4ng ok thanks. Will try that. btw are those the default settings and are they good, ...

walmis•2/27/24, 2:24 PM

These settings are "Board defaults" you can import the "Rhino defaults" from configsconfigs directory with the VP configurator

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:25 PM

ah ok thanks

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:25 PM

ah yes rhino defaults are really different than board config

TTinman I only want to set it to 30%, it would be perfect. Thing is, as walmis sait, it ...

walmis•2/27/24, 2:26 PM

Maybe there's some friction in your pedals? Try enabling the adaptive recentering feature, or make the centering curve a bit stiffer using the spring "gain map"

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:28 PM

you're talking about pedals. Do you mean you have hardware to add ffb to pedals too?

walmis•2/27/24, 2:30 PM

I'm planning to release a HW kit for MFG pedals soon, but there are DIYs out there that mounted the motor to other pedals too.

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:33 PM

just finished it an hour ago and testing it right now

harf4ng•2/27/24, 2:35 PM

in a real helicopter, do force trim also work on pedals? Or only cyclic?
