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

Hey @walmis I just received a 2nd rhino order near completion message, I must have been signed up twice somehow. I wanted to know that this 2nd order could be cancelled and pushed out to the next lucky customer.

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

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.

Number481OP•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.

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?.

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

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.

Brizzly•3/2/24, 1:53 AM

This is dependant on the helicopter. On an H-60, when you press the trim release on the cyclic, it removes the force gradiant on the cyclic, and the pedals. If the particular model you're flying also has force trim on the collective, the trim release for the collective is exclusive to the trigger on the collective.

mark turner•3/2/24, 10:42 AM

General query: Does the rhino retain as its settings the last applied vpconf file settings? IE when turning on the PC and before loading DCS, or any profiles, when the stick is powered, it uses the parameters of the last active profile....is this correct?

Bob Bushman•3/2/24, 10:43 AM

Last stored profile, you can load a profile and not store it.

Toddimus•3/2/24, 7:09 PM

Is there an ETA on the bigger 86BLF04 motors? I’m thinking about getting 3 of them for stick and rudder and then a small one 57BLF03? for a collective. Or will there be an even smaller one available? I thought I saw a 57BLF01 used for a collective.

Wwalmis I hope to receive new stock during March.

Number481OP•3/2/24, 9:45 PM

TelemFFB can do it for you if you are wanting to have different configs load per aircraft. If you have another use case for doing it, you can call the configurator executable via CLI and pass the config and device serial with -config-config and -serial-serial

Quick Question: when I reach the edge of the Y-axis (roll input) the Rhino starta vibrating and finally beeps and seems to reset. I guess I trigger a safety mechanism, but I can't figure out why. What exactly is the cause for that "warning"/feedback?

walmis•3/3/24, 8:11 AM

The VP configurator shows the fault at the bottom right of the window, it displays OK when everything's normal. It'd be useful if you post your settings too.

shagrat•3/3/24, 9:29 AM

Figured it out, I guess, reduced "Spring Gain" to 95% and for whatever reason, "Spring strength proportional Dampening" in the Expert Settings was at 100% (I reduced it to default 25% and upped it to 40% now).
With these settings (see screenshots), it didn't happen anymore.
