Does anyone know how to turn off the fourth hat option in the software? My Virpil Constellation does

Does anyone know how to turn off the fourth hat option in the software? My Virpil Constellation does not have a fourth hat and the hat is being detected in some UI menus.

Wwalmis It's possible to tune the center using the spring mapping tool

Boo Berry•3/21/24, 8:53 PM

That worked!!! Thank you!!

scheppie_•3/21/24, 9:29 PM

hey, small question, for dcs ww2 planes, when i fly low speed or stand still, the stick is feeling nice, getting a good feel when you reach low speed with less wind, but from above 200 to max speed, i cant feel a different, i think with a steep dive on max speed the stick would feel verry heavy to turn, but i cant feel that.

scheppie_•3/21/24, 9:29 PM

is there a setting to change that?

I have the same dilemma but I still have a little way to go on getting my rhino. I have reached out to Walmis a couple of times to ask if there is any intention to release an updated Rev.C adapter but I haven't had a response yet. However there is a solution…
I have spoken to VKB and you can purchase the MCGU revB twist adaptor which is fully compatible.
My issue is I use extensions which is a little more problematic - VKB are offering to send me a cable to change the internals on the RevC extensions but I'm still not sure how that works.

The 4th hat works like axis-to-button for the thumb stick, so if you calibrate the thumbstick the hat will work properly

Firaga•3/22/24, 7:59 PM

You can rescale up and down independently

skyPickle•3/22/24, 8:02 PM

ok i just figured that out-click the little chain link thingy

skyPickle•3/22/24, 8:11 PM

so i set up the vpconf as indicated in that screenshot-35% for Y forward,started DCS, jumped into an A10 and this is what full forward stick looks like

skyPickle•3/22/24, 8:11 PM

skyPickle•3/22/24, 8:12 PM

the only thing I achieved with those settings is resistance in the stick starts with about 1/3 forward deflection

skyPickle•3/22/24, 8:13 PM

and for the last 2/3 of the excursion, no movement in the elevator is noted

skyPickle•3/22/24, 8:18 PM

within dcs, the axis tune has no curve set on it. and i can see that the excursion output goes to 100% when the stick is pushed 1/3 forward so axis scaling is working properly

Number481•3/22/24, 9:08 PM

I don’t fly the a10, but isn’t that normal down elevator deflection? Most jets do not have symmetrical throw.

If DCS is showing full excursion in the axis viewer, I’d say it’s working properly.

This might be obvious but make sure you save/send/store config. If not, try to ping walmis.

TheAmazinGreat•3/23/24, 3:30 AM

There have been some instances of winwing grips needing to be calibrated on a WW base but I believe that was for the axes not working instead of the buttons.

Tthedicecooler Just set up my new unit with winwing adapter and no buttons register

walmis•3/23/24, 9:47 AM

From the log it looks like the adapter is communicating with the base correctly. Check if the 6 pin WW connector is fully seated, sometimes it needs a good push.

Wwalmis From the log it looks like the adapter is communicating with the base correctly....

thedicecooler•3/23/24, 2:38 PM

It is seated as firmly as I can put it in there. I plugged it back into the original WW base and the buttons etc still work there

thedicecooler•3/23/24, 2:39 PM

the plug can come out slightly from the grip, I plug it in without screwwing the nut around the base and try still no buttons

thedicecooler•3/23/24, 3:23 PM

Got it working. that was quite a bit of force to get it to register

MGBDave•3/23/24, 4:30 PM

A question on TelemFFB. I'm wondering what unit of measurement the prop diameter is supposed to be in. I see some appear to be in inches, some in feet, and some in metres. And, follow-up question - what is the side effect? I'm attempting to make the DA42 profile I made more accurate, and have been comparing it to the other aircraft already in TelemFFB. BTW, this software is awesome, and greatly appreciated - thanks for all the hard work - FFB takes the sim to the next level!

Number481•3/23/24, 4:40 PM

You can enter it in whatever units you want, as long as you select the right unit from the drop down. It gets converted internally to the proper unit for the calculations where it’s used (which is meters).

It’s pretty much only used in the calculation to determine how much the prop wash affects the elevator droop.

Number481•3/23/24, 4:42 PM

I wouldn’t worry too much about trying to match that up super accurately

MGBDave•3/23/24, 4:59 PM

Wow - I totally missed that because I was working in the larger settings table, where the unit of measure is not exposed. I see it now in the active plane settings tab. I normally don't see that view as I'm normally in VR. Sorry for the silly question!

Number481•3/23/24, 5:24 PM

ahh... yeah, your right... the "settings manager" (table editor view) doesn't expose the unit. Actually considering exposing the ability to edit offline models from the main window settings tab and then reserving the table view for modifying the sim and or aircraft category defaults. The capability (to modify any aircraft config) in the main settings tab already exists in debug code.. just needs to be cleaned up and integrated with the UI more cleanly than it currently is.

does anyone know the current settings for the 86bfl04 motors?

I am planning to build a base. Now I have some nice DIY grips attached to a MS FFB2. Can I use these grips a VPforce base? They have 74HC165N shift registers wired to arduino pro micro with mmjoy software. Can the Rhino FFB software interface with these?

FlatSpin•3/24/24, 10:38 PM

"the generic grip profile works with CD4021s, up to 4 in series I think, so 32 buttons."

TheAmazinGreat•3/24/24, 11:24 PM

I believe you will just need an inverter on the latch/CS of the 74HC165N to make them work like a CD4021 for the VPForce board.

BBAKE does anyone know the current settings for the 86bfl04 motors?

Nvm.
I found it I think.
4 amps per phase.
14 amps rated
38 amps peak.

RotorRick•3/25/24, 4:17 PM

So I am finally getting close to getting my FFB base. I see 2 choices for Grip adapters, Virpil and Winwing. Does anyone know if there is a plain old B8 Style grip that would work? Ideally buying an adapter from Vforce to save time and energy!

Skood•3/25/24, 5:05 PM

Virpil WarBRD grip is probably your best option for B8 style and doesn't require an adaptor. It doesn't have a paddle lever so if you want that then you need to step up to a higher spec grip or get the VKB KG12 which would require an adaptor. https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-warbrd-grip.html

VPC WarBRD Grip

★ Perfect Match for the VPC WarBRD Base
★ Programmable LED Lighting
★ Available with Optional Lockable All-Metal Twist Axis Mechanism, or with a Fixed Grip Stock
★ Compatible with all VPC Bases

Tazz•3/25/24, 9:07 PM

Is there a way to remove/delete a button press on a Virpil T-50CM2 grip in VPforce Configurator? I'd like to remove the button press on the brake lever so it functions as an axis only.

Does anyone know how to turn off the fourth hat option in the software? My Virpil Constellation does
