Hi, is there a way to launch the VP Force configurator along with a specific configuration file and send that right away to the Rhino?
NTelemFFB 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-serial
SQuick 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?
Fcheck your "Ibus" and max motor current, you're hitting that limit
Fsolution is to reduce the force or pull less hard
Hyep, the latter is the case. I have issue with F14 that sometimes get crazy with the trim, pushing all the way forward or backward... I'd like, in case this appens during a mission, load a profile with the STICKY function on the spring and the trim override
Nin that case you could just create a bat file and launch
If you only have one device I think you may be able to omit the serial number

WThe 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.
SFigured 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.

Hhi, why is it recommended to have the center value to 2048? What it does if it is not at 2048?
HMy axis are like that
Hso the Y value is like that because I want the stick to be closer to me, but even the X axis is not centered at 2048, but it looks like it is centered
WThis notice is to avoid undefined behavior on startup when DIYing the Rhino or replacing belts.
HWhat is the max recommended extension length to not wear off the motors too fast?

[hi there,
does TelemFFB have an autostart function or something else? Or a autostart with DCS?

BFor it to do something like that I imagine it would need to have a running background service.
I think you can use the skatezilla launcher utility to start it an other software needed, granted I haven't actually used it for that yet myself.

DI created a .ps1 powershell program that's a button box where you can open up all the programs you want if you want I can put that on github from one button. Ill post a pic of it when I get a chance.
BI just keep my dcs programs pinned in the task bar and click in rapid succession
Easy works

DOh for me i have like 5 programs i have to open so this helps so much, plus I start it with windows too.
Hah i hear ya though, just might be useful for ya. I was learning powershell for work, but would be better if I made it into C#, no idea how to code that ... But ChatGPT does

BI like to keep it simple so really only start telem and configurator now.
Sconfigurator doesnt need to remain open for everything to work
BI'm just still tweaking and playing around with it.
DGood Day, I recently purchased a two-motor DIY kit and have somehow managed to misplace the motor wires. I would be grateful to know if these are standard wires and, if so, where they could be purchased here in North America. Alternatively, if those can be purchased individually from VPForce that would be great. Thank you.
WThe connectors are JST PH 2 pin - Amazon will definitely will have them
H@walmis quick question, I bought the motor kit from you and made a diy stick from @Subsonic (Protomaker). I've only flown the f-14 in dcs with it and I get a random trim activation either left or right all the way (phantom button activation constant press) sporadically. After a few seconds of fighting it, it goes back to normal. All the wires are good, and settings are fine. Is there a way to refresh the firmware, and reset the motors learned value? This is the only thing I can think is causing an issue, thanks for the help.
WThis sounds like a known F-14 bug when you change seats with WSO and the trim drifts fully to some direction
HI am aware of that one. And that one trims full aft slowly.
For my issue I never change seats, and trim slams hard to left or right. ?

WCan you show your configuration? Both effect and settings pages
HSure, I'm put now, will send it asap
F@walmis : Not sure if this is reported already but this issue was today replicated with two Rhino users. A-10C (and apparently also F-5) the DCS in-game control indicator range is shorter in fwd direction compared to aft (picture 1). As a consequence, Rhino is considering the neutral position to be this much fwd. Forces seem to be quite ok but the neutral position is very awkward (picture 2). The correct behavior would be that the Rhino is physically centered in neutral position and allows full aft deflection but with limited (or scaled) fwd deflection. Can we expect a fix for this or any tips for temporary workarounds? Would not want to edit the global profile as this problem exists only for certain modules.
F@skyPickle : 
If Rhino is here working as intended, did you find any workaround for this issue from dcs side? A-10C does not have those trimmer options in special options tab like F-5.

PHi, I’m getting the VPForce set up for the first test in MSFS and I get a left aileron deflection every few seconds whenever the stick is full forward or full aft. Any ideas what the problem would be?
P
PAre there any profiles that are a good starting point for msfs and dcs?
SAxes should not be bound in msfs- telemFFB handles it. (Get the wip version)
PThanks that did it. Works great now!
FThis works. Thanks a lot! Would be nice if the configurator detected the module the same way as TelemFFB. However, can live with this just fine. 
LI encountered a strange issue with MSFS (everything works in DCS): the stick lost all the spring/damping force as soon as I launch TalemFFB. It seems the TalemFFB effect is still on but the configurator shows USB disconnected. If I close the TalemFFB then the stick springs back to center again and can be trimmed as well.
Nwhat the spring does when you connect TelemFFB to MSFS depends on a great many things. Including:
- What type of aircraft is loaded
- Whether you are paused/slew mode, in the hangar, or in an active flight and how the pause spring is configured in TelemFFB
- Depending on the type of aircraft, whether you are cold and dark, idling on the ground or flying
Lit happened mid flight, when i realize i forgot to launch TelemFFB, so i pause the game, launch TelemFFB, unpause game, all spring force is gone, close TelemFFB in the same flight, spring force is back. Had this issue a few times but will try to reproduce it.
Ltried again, this time it did not disconnect, but force trim is not working with telemffb openned. (flying in flyininside B206). Forcetrim works without Telemffb
WIf you're using the Hardware trim feature, then it won't work if the spring force is controlled by the application
WYou would need to setup force trim in telemFFB itself
Nwalmis is correct
LThx! got it, works now with Forcetrim on in telemFFB. Do i keep the hardware force trim on in configurator? but override trim off? Must admit this bit is still a bit confusing
Shardware trim off. btw for "realism", the B206 doesnt have force trim . ive been told it feels like a 70s car power steering, very loose but stays where you put it
