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.

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

TheAmazinGreat•3/23/24, 3:29 AM

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

Number481OP•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.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

Number481OP•3/25/24, 9:13 PM

you could try remapping the the button to something like '99' in the button mapping tab

Kowalsky•3/25/24, 11:31 PM

Hey @walmis I have issue with my WW Adapter (Order Number: 757) I just got today my DYI Rhino, in setup all was working fine, buttons and axis recognized. Then after one ca 40min flight for getting feel of the settings, when I was flaring on landing, suddenly random buttons from my stick were getting activated. I thought that maybe stick and adapter connection got loose but after reseating it, I don't have any response or button/axis recognition. My F-16EX is working fine on Orion 2 base, debug tab shows FFFF (found how to debug grip). I took it apart to check for possible damage or cracks in connection but all is well. One think is that its getting very hot very fast, like 10-15second and I can't touch it...

Huh, i got the Virpil Constellation Alpha Grip, and its LED just randomly illuminated in white, full brightness. Went back to off after replugging the USB, got a DIY base. Should i be worried?

Got the Virpil Link Tool running with LED profiles for Panels and Throttle, but it shouldn't be able to talk to the Rhino..

walmis•3/26/24, 3:10 PM

I don't know exactly what signal Virpil uses to piggyback LED data on the SPI data lines, but yeah, during testing I've managed to illuminate mine too randomly. You can ignore it.

Andre•3/26/24, 3:54 PM

I have a quick question about the VKB adapter. I can't see where I can connect it to the base other than just screwing it in. I don't see anywhere to plug it in. Am I missing something?

AndyHill•3/26/24, 3:57 PM

you need a black box to connect to

AndyHill•3/26/24, 3:58 PM

there is no electrical connection between the base and the adapter, the wire that comes out of the adapter goes to a black box

Panny•3/26/24, 5:12 PM

@walmis Just want to say the new wire arrived - all works as expected now!

AAndyHill you need a black box to connect to

Andre•3/26/24, 6:26 PM

which black box are you referring to? Is this something that I have to order separately?

AndyHill•3/26/24, 6:28 PM

if you don't have one already, you'll need one of these (the black one I think): https://flightsimcontrols.com/product/vkb-main-controller-blackbox-stand-alone/

AndyHill•3/26/24, 6:29 PM

if you have bought vkb controller systems before you should already have one, but probably not if you just got the grip

SpaceMonkey seems to have an impressive library of games it can get telemetry data from. Would it be possible to somehow interface that with TelemFFB or regular VPForce DirectInput functionality?

Any reason the Rhino might suddenly whack itself full negative elevator and roll left and turn off its motors when entering the aircraft on the airstrip in IL-2?
Calibration went completely out of whack too. Had to exit absolutely everything I was doing, all the VPForce software, unplug the stick (both power supply & USB), replug the stick, restart the Configurator and calibrate the stick again.

ToreDL87•3/29/24, 1:12 AM

It kinda randomly does stuff like that, (which is to mean, tries to foreversleep itself with violent moves when just entering the mission).

Col. Sanders•3/29/24, 1:15 AM

I have noticed that after crashing when you load into the next mission the stick wants to behave like you have just crashed. Takes a second to recognize the new position.

ToreDL87•3/29/24, 1:19 AM

Right, yeah, not ideal. Kinda wish crashes weren't emulated in the FFB Telemetry, in the interest of not destroying an expensive piece of hardware
