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.

walmis•2/27/24, 2:14 PM

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

harf4ngOP•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

harf4ngOP•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

harf4ngOP•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.

harf4ngOP•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%

These settings are "Board defaults" you can import the "Rhino defaults" from

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"

harf4ngOP•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.

ah ok. I had MFG before but now I have virpil ones. And in march I'll have the virpil apache collective as well. But I do not have the knowledge to make those ffb

just finished it an hour ago and testing it right now

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

harf4ngOP•2/27/24, 2:35 PM

this is strange, why with the rhino default config, the X axis is inverted?

Number481•2/27/24, 2:39 PM

here's a clip of centering at %30 spring. I run Virpil pedals with the 8603 motor

Number481•2/27/24, 2:39 PM

and my gain map.. just gives it a little more oomph right around center

Tinman•2/27/24, 2:39 PM

seems to have helped a lot so far

harf4ngOP•2/27/24, 2:40 PM

ok I undrstand about the inverted axis, this is because the default config file does not change the ffb axes setup

walmis•2/27/24, 2:51 PM

Yeah, X axis is usually inverted to work in the right logical direction on the Rhino

harf4ngOP•2/27/24, 2:55 PM

I have an issue calibrating my twist axis. If I want the axis to go from -4096 to +4096 then at neutral the value is not 0. And if I click the C to have it centered at 0 then it goes from -4096 to 3955

harf4ngOP•2/27/24, 2:59 PM

ok I found a solution, I removed a few values to max and increase the min the same value so center does not move but the axis goes to max and min

Tinman•2/27/24, 3:02 PM

Lastly, whats a good setup for the Apache? I saw your posts before something bout trim issues in dcs and i think Telem ffb helped solved it.

Number481•2/27/24, 3:04 PM

yeah, if you run DCS by itself, you will find that your pedals react to the x axis FFB for the cyclic. TelemFFB overrides that and just sets no springs with a configurable dampening setting

Tinman•2/27/24, 3:05 PM

Im planning on adding ffb to my collective soon, still figuring out how to connect the direct drive to the virpil collective.

Dalbath•2/27/24, 3:41 PM

Thx, it seems to be the problem. I tried to unplug those wire and probably damaged the connector. I think îll have to buy a new one.

AndyHill•2/27/24, 4:18 PM

what types of screws & stuff is Rhino made with, I need to upgrade my set and I want to make sure I get suitable stuffs for screwing rhinos

Hharf4ng in a real helicopter, do force trim also work on pedals? Or only cyclic?

exil35•2/27/24, 5:01 PM

If you mean the force trim release that's only applicable for cyclics. So there is no button that you press that allows you to move the pedals more "lightly".
So no need to push the button and then move the pedals. You can just move them without hitting the button.

Tinman•2/28/24, 1:45 AM

Just to confirm, will this be able to power a stock rhino, a 1x 86BLF03 and 1x 86BLF04 together? Was afraid it might burn out the stock Rhino motors. Planning on consolidating the power supply to clear out my wire mess.

Andre•2/28/24, 1:07 PM

I have a Virpil Blackhawk Grip attached to my DIY Collective and connected to the Rhino USB Board. All buttons are recognized, but when i press any of the Hat buttons (up/down,left/right), the corresponding center press button also lights up. I currently have it set to Generic grip, but tried all the other options and there is no change in behaviour. I’ve also tried both the options Hat switch as button, and 4-way Hat.
Any ideas to get this working correctly?

walmis•2/28/24, 1:59 PM

Virpil hats need additional decoding, ~~do any of the existing Virpil grip profiles work for the blackhawk grip?~~
Can you DM me the "Generic grip (debug)" output in the Debug tab and I'll also need the mapping for the hats, table like this would be very useful. I'll add a new profile to the firmware
