Could be numerous things - maybe your master gain was at 0%?

WOr maybe spring adjust pot was turned off.
MOk gain was definitely not zero - understood on the ibus - but when this happened the only noticeable thing that looked weird was the. Ibus was zero normally mine sits just above …
MNot at my pc now but will do some more testing (and get a full screen when I am testing)
ISometimes in DCS flying warbirds in cruise , not moving the stick, I loose vibration for a sec or two and then a tiny movement of the stick gets it back, is there a way to solve this?
MSo have done some more testing since the recalibration and it’s working much better however found 1)everything seems to be working ok except in the ah64 couldn’t get the force trim to work correctly (can see from the stick monitor the stick centre is changing but the rhino does not seem to be moving to the new centre) 2)need to reset the FFB between planes in DCs for the FFB to work 3)unrelated to the above but my anti virus is picking up a virus on one of the Telem files qtcore.pyd ….
Khow do I recenter the joystick in configurator? it shows the green centre circle to be sitting quite far forward, in that I need a lot of forward stick to fly level
Oin the effects tab setup hardware trim tick box then assign the buttons trim release / trim reset /trim up, down, left, right. Then put the stick where you want and press trim reset. Apply settings and store settings after each change you make to save the settings.
FI don't think setting the trim buttons is necessary. afaik it is for sims that don't have native force trim support.
I'd just reset the motors or the config. calibrate the axes if you haven't done that before.
if you have used TelemFFB it might have got stuck there and you could reset the effect in there.

3Which effect controls the stick when the landing gear is retracted and deployed? My stick shakes violently when the gear is deployed or retracted.
Non which aircraft? If you look at the settings you will see these two.. neither should produce violent results unless maybe if your periodics gain was at %100.
Buffet is a rumble if the gear are deployed above the speed threshold, but has nothing to do with the gear moving
Motion is a high frequency vibration while the gear are in motion.

3Thanks for the reply,
3The problem is with all aircraft. I'll look into the buffeting
Fthere is also the one slider in the rhino configurator that governs all special effects
Fforgot what its called but it covers stuff like gear, guns etc
Nthats the periodics gain I mentioned (in configurator)
TJust curios, can you upgrade the stock motors of the Rhino with the Nema34 variants? I take it it won't fit the stock case and/or the other parts need to be strengthened?
FYeah just as you said, the sizes are very different, both the overall and axle size
FStrength I dont know but the blf04 puts out a ton of force so do with that what you will
TI think this is what it was at.
Was under the impression that whatever the settings were at, they'd be safe enough, keeping in mind when I got the Rhino and installed everything, it was all at 0%

TAnything less than 80% Master gain and I personally just dont feel... much of any flight related queue's at all minus centering strength , a lot of the time I run it on 100% master gain too, that's more to do with me than the stick, and the stick has always been performing perfectly 
When I was running TelemFFB for the first time in months was when it tried killing itself with instant up/left as I was spawning in, never had that happen before.
Wasn't ready for it so couldn't catch it, still had my hand on the mouse from clicking Fly button.

NDepending on how your
Effects tab is configured (since the settings sliders are factors of the effects tab values), those Damper/Inertia/Friction sliders are insanely high and will absolutely lead to instability and potential motor fault protection shutdowns, especially when there are effects like engine rumble and or elevator droop suddenly playing when you load into an aircraft.
TThat's kinda just it though, "depending on", not much explanation for any of the effects what they actually do in flight if I'm gonna be honest.
Not many shared setups available either and I've tried them and they all just feel way too... weak/vague.
I've been doing lots of hard manual work with pneumatic hammers etc with nerves not in best condition, I don't catch the minute FFB queue's like maybe someone who has had a safer working life would.
With nothing to go on I don't have much of a choice but turning everything up until it feels good and so far it's been great up until recent incident.

WThat problem only occurs in IL-2 and only with TelemFFB running ?
TThe one time it happened to me, yes, before that I didn't run with TelemFFB and never had that issue.
TI'll try WW2 mode again and get back to you, it specifically happened when joining the CombatBox server.
Mbeen doing some testing since recalibrating everything (and reversing the x axis) and rhino is working much better now - however still having an issue with the ah64 and force trim and wondering how best to resolve it? - basically when I start up the ah64 (note all setting in the configurator are default - i think) - my stick has a tendency to drift down - how when I hit the force trim button its definitely shifting to the new centre both the stick and also in the stick monitors (both in DCS and the one in the configurator) - however the stick still seems to be a little limp (like with a low spring value) even though spring is set at 100% in the main settings)and its also drifting down - however when I hit the reset FFB button (in telem) the stick firms up and behaves how I would expect - however now when I hit force trim the centre shifts in the DCS stick monitor to what I would expect however in the configuration monitor the centre remains unchanged and the stick does not shift to the "new" centre - however aside from the force trim issue the stick is behaving as I would expect - strangely when I check the debug page in the configurator (before the ffb reset) - loaded effects ID's 1-4 looking pretty normal - but appearing at ID5 is a spring entry that is showing 9% - centre of 0, coefficient 4055 and saturation of 4096 - immediately after I hit the FFB reset I get the loaded effects 1-4 as before (no ID5) then when I start using the stick again I get ID's 5-10 with the entry "SINE" next to them with "100%" next to all the ID's except ID5 which is now showing as "SINE" but strangely rather than showing as "100%" like the rest is showing with a "9%" next to it - similar value to before the FFB reset when it was showing as "spring" rather than "sine"- of course now the trim reset does not seem to be working the stick or show in the configurator monitor (can also provide some pics of the settings if it helps?)....
N1.) Please try without TelemFFB running. It does nothing to affect the force trim in DCS and you are only complicating things by running with TelemFFB while trying to troubleshoot the spring.
2.) All the "sine" effects you see are the various rumbles like engine/rotor/etc.
3.) Please again post pictures of your configurator , both the settings and effects pages
4.) Hitting 'reset effects' in telemffb will destroy the FFB effects that DCS creates and you may need to restart the sim to get them back... this is what the warning in TelemFFB means
5.) Whatever walmis is about to tell you

WYeah, that wall of text is very hard to read 
Maybe some paragraphs would be nice.
Maybe some paragraphs would be nice.WChatGPT to the rescue 
After recalibrating everything and reversing the x-axis, Rhino is functioning much better now. However, there's still an issue with the AH64 and force trim that needs addressing. Essentially, upon starting up the AH64 (with all settings in the configurator set to default, I believe), my stick tends to drift down. When I press the force trim button, it does shift to the new center, both visually in the stick monitors (both in DCS and the one in the configurator). However, the stick still feels somewhat limp, like it has a low spring value, despite the spring being set at 100% in the main settings. Additionally, it continues to drift. Strangely, when I hit reset FFB effects (in telem), the stick firms up and behaves as expected. However, after doing this, when I hit force trim, the center shifts in the DCS stick monitor but remains unchanged in the configuration monitor, and the stick does not shift to the new center as it did before the FFB reset.
Apart from the force trim issue, the stick behaves as expected. Interestingly, when I check the debug page in the configurator (before the FFB reset), loaded effects IDs 1-4 look normal. However, at ID5, there's a spring entry showing 9%, with a center of 0, coefficient of 4055, and saturation of 4096. Immediately after the FFB reset, I get the loaded effects 1-4 as before, but now with ID5 showing "SINE" next to it, along with "100%" next to all other IDs except ID5, which oddly displays "SINE" with "9%" next to it, resembling the pre-FFB reset state.
Following the FFB reset, the trim reset no longer seems to function on the stick or reflect in the configurator monitor. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. (I can also provide some screenshots of the settings if needed).
W@mac22443506 Do you use an extension with a heavy grip? That sounds like it could need some balancing using the "Balance spring" feature
WAlso check the "trimmer force" in DCS FFB settings
WAnd like @Number481 number said, try troubleshooting without running telemFFB first.

MAll thanks for suggestions and sorry for the wall of text!(will try number points in the future!) 
-so to address some of the points 1)so can check the trim settings in DCs (assume I should make them match the screenshot for the rhino column?)2)in terms of testing without Telem I can try (assume the force trim function should function with telem off- restring the position of the stick?)3)correct using the f18 metal stick with a Z extension - what would u suggest for the balance spring settings?4)will post some setting pics shortly?5) note your points on resetting FFB (found I did not need to restart DCs after resetting - only issue was the force trim not working - but restart if I do in the future) 6)assuming from the comments the id5 spring setting appearing set to 9% then after a reset appearing as a sine also at 9% could be a red herring?

IHaving an issue in DCS, I start Telem, fly DCS, and someitmes if I change the plane, I do not get effects, to make it work I need to quite Telem and start it again
MYes was aware of that one - during all my troubleshooting would restart telem regularly (but usually not DCS)- but it seems from the above telem (and resetting the FFB )might not be related to my issue - in any case will give it a try with and without telem and see what happens….
MNo I didn’t - but do now

VHi, Walmis, my Winwing adapter stopped working.
Basically, I am switching between it and a Virpil grip. This time it didn't work. Now if I use the debug "grip" I get all FF FF ........ I tried to remove and remount multiple times. Also, before you ask, there are no bent pins nor in the grip nor in the adapter. With the Virpil grip everything works as usual. Is there something I can do to fix it?

Whello everyone, I ordered the 57BLF03 motor kit with the card and the USB which I have not yet received, my question is, can the whole thing be configured or should I do it myself?
Vdebug window
WHi, sounds like the mini PCB in the adapter could be damaged - not sure if electrical or mechanical. I can mail you a new one.
WHi, what do you mean by "configured" ?
Win fact are the motors ready for the configuration of the ffb joystick or should it be done once the rhino is completely built?
WWell yeah, you need to build the Rhino to calibrate the axis ranges and so on
WBut it's mostly plug and play
Wok ok, I ordered the DIY kit last week, so once it arrives I will be able to finish assembling the rhino and move on to the calibration stage, looking forward to that happening
Thank you Walmis
Thank you Walmis
Vok, thanks....let me know how to arrange it
Dmy ac adapter connector is kinda loose and sometimes it dissconects during playing from vibration, here is how it looks fully connected
