1.) You'll want to grab the latest 'WiP" version (see pinned messages here: https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1093558100713279508)
2.) Check out the manual (Section 4.2) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YL5DLkiTxlaNx_zKHEYSs25PjmGtQ6_WZDk58_SGt8Y/edit#heading=h.ghj8phqmqr7y

While the WIP version is linked in the doc and the github readme, its not always obvious that you probably want that version

You mean a printscreen of the debug window? Isn't that the same as the samples.csv? Sorry for being a noob..

Got it thank youi

Tinman•2/28/24, 3:21 PM

I turned off my system and swapped with the F04 and it gave all the expected readings on the left panel. Also twisted the axis and showed movement.

Tinman•2/28/24, 3:21 PM

When I switched back to this F03 motor, this is what I get

Can you check the motor IDs?

Tinman•2/28/24, 3:27 PM

hold on

So yeah, this one is with Pitch id

walmisOP•2/28/24, 3:32 PM

You need to disable X and enable Y in the configurator

Tinman•2/28/24, 3:32 PM

Working now! Tyvm!

BTW, is there any information concerning the date when we will be able to preorder/order the FFB kit for the MFGs pedals?

MashedPotato•2/28/24, 6:24 PM

Last news was late Feb due to a parts shortage on the bigger motors, so hopefully any day now

Hi, a few weeks back, I set up VP Force config with some differing profiles for various modules. I had this working nicely, so when I flew the F14,. it loaded my F14 profile, the F5 , the F5 profile etc. However, it now appears to have stopped working.....Telem FFB does not register the correct module on the GUI anymore for example, I just flew in the Hornet and Telem FFB b was saying it was an F14.....it appears stuck on F14....any ideas what might be going on and how I might be able to unfuck it? Thanks! I have checked and in the system/edit sim section, each jet has the correct vpconf file selected at the bottom.....

can you create a support bundle (help menu) and post that here, or post your userconfig xml file? Sounds like maybe you have an overzealous match string set up

Also a screenshot of TelemFFB when you are in a aircraft like the F18, but TelemFFB is loading the config for the F14

You can create the support bundle per above (which includes config and logs) or you can open the config directory from the system menu

Number481•2/29/24, 9:48 PM

Hmm. That is something I’ve never seen. It’s not TelemFFB mistaking the aircraft for the F14 or a bad match string… DCS is telling us it’s the F14. The

N:

N:

field in the telemetry is exactly what we are getting from DCS.

The TelemFFB export script doesn’t modify what we read from the sim before sending to TelemFFB so that data is coming from DCS.

Number481•2/29/24, 9:50 PM

Are you one of the super secret squirrel beta testers testing an unreleased version of DCS?

I suppose it’s possible some mod or another is messing with DCS badly enough to cause this.

You can try deleting the TelemFFB export script from DCS and then let TelemFFB reinstall it, but i doubt that will be it.

plehmann•2/29/24, 11:14 PM

getting to the order point now(finally!! ) for my Slaw F16 rudder pedals FFB conversation....and thinking the DIY FFB kit: 86BLF04 x1 + USB version- though it says out of stock

:any ideas when the 04 motor kit will be available to order again @walmis or is there a kit due soon for ffb conversation

Vitalii | VO•3/1/24, 12:09 AM

Hi @walmis, hi all, I'm having an issue. Just unpacked my DIY kit and powered it on.
Motor X is offline, Motor Y is Ok, USB is connected. Firmware is 1.0.16. The motor X looks powered and blink green. It looks like address or RS-485 is wrong or something like that.
How to fix it?.

In that instance, as you can see, I was using the F18, but Telem was stuck thinking it was the F14. Going to turn everything on again this morning and check…….I will turn off all mods as well…….

Tinman•3/1/24, 8:16 AM

Just sharing unsolicited advise, The F03 motor is more than enough for rudder purposes. I'd go as far as to say the F04 is a bit overkill as just having tried both myself. With the F03, you wont even need more than 50% spring force generally speaking, how much more for the F04.

Dalbath•3/1/24, 9:41 AM

Hi, I’m searching for the type of connector used on the pcb for the motors communication wires .

walmisOP•3/1/24, 9:42 AM

It's JST PH

Wwalmis Hi, disable the unused axis (Y) using the checkbox

Vitalii | VO•3/1/24, 12:43 PM

Hi, I'm bulding joistick - not ruder so I need two X and Y. I've tried to disable offline motor. After that configurator can read data from online motor.
Additionally I've checked:

motor data cable is ok (both pairs)
mainboard is ok (working motor is identifiable on any data port)
Motor X is offline in any combination but it is blinking the same as other motor when not connected (motherboard is always quiet)
What to do?
Is motor Id could be updated somehow?

harf4ng•3/1/24, 6:23 PM

wonder, anybody has tried using the rhino for car racing? Unsure how to calibrate it, the in game wheel moves left / right very fast even when I do nothing, and it is barely playable so wonder if this is doable. Or I need to add a deadzone?

harf4ng•3/1/24, 6:23 PM

in project cars 2 for instance when trying to calibrate it, I need first to move the "wheel" to the max side, then move it to 90°

TheAmazinGreat•3/1/24, 6:36 PM

Most sim racing titles are built for wheels with 900/1080 degrees of rotation so you are essentially scaling it by a huge factor to get full travel. You don’t often need full travel during racing, maybe max 100 degrees either side. In iRacing you can define the limits of the wheel. If you can turn that down from 900 to 200 that may work. Not sure if PC2 has the same function.

TheAmazinGreat•3/1/24, 6:37 PM

You could use the motors from the rhino to make a wheel. But using the joystick as a wheel you need to downscale the virtual wheel axis travel.

TheAmazinGreat•3/1/24, 6:38 PM

harf4ng•3/1/24, 6:39 PM

ok thanks will check that. Or maybe I could use the gamepad option instead of wheel option in PC2, as gamepads still have analog axis but less travel... though maybe with gamepads force feedback will not work

harf4ng•3/1/24, 6:41 PM

I took the rhino for flight sims, and I removed my wheel as I do not have enough room in my cockpit for both a wheel and the rhino, but then if I can do some car racing with the rhino as well... ^^

harf4ng•3/1/24, 6:48 PM

just thought about something... PC2 asks me to turn wheel to the max then wheel to 90° for calibration. So if I push stick to the max left then for the 90° also to the max left, the sim will think I have a 180° wheel (90° each side). Will have to try that to check if this works.
