Looks like a windows secure update today is now flagging the latest build. Was fine this morning.

Adding an exception for your TelemFFB folder as you did, while less than ideal, is the only real solution….

cue the influx of why is telem not loading anymore !!

plehmann•4/4/24, 2:54 AM

aaan just saw the same post in general before me

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:07 AM

ok so received my second ffb kit the other day and plugged the ol girl in... for a connectivity test.

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:09 AM

so some ignoirant q's inbound that I've not been able to find in the manual or online... I get that there is a different id to ...well id the controller but no idea how to set this up either from telemffb or onmfigurator

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:09 AM

I've got the tlemeffb to spawn another isntance of the ffb app

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

but note the error bottom right

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

second controller is seen on com4

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:10 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:11 AM

aand motor goes smooth from notchy so motor and board seem to be ok

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:12 AM

though its only connected via the pwr cables so far - shoul there be other connections too between the board and motor.. there was also a 2 pin 'jst' connector for a 485 connection ? arduino?

You need to set it up in configurator with a different usb PID. It will probably be 2055 by default )same as rhino)

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:14 AM

so I'll need to unplug current rhino??

Number481OP•4/4/24, 3:17 AM

You should see two options when you start configurator, but if they are both 2055, you will only be able to tell them apart by the s/n. Simpler to unplug the rhino probably

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:18 AM

hmmm yes for the online rhino configurator I saw both in the app version I only saw the joystick

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:19 AM

ive unplugged joystick

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

set the ident and pid to 254 apply and store

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

replugged joy in

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

and restarted configurator

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:22 AM

and get this

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:25 AM

so it looks like I can only connect to 1 of the ffb's each time and need to pick the one to config

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:28 AM

intersting that windows sees 2 rudders!!

Number481OP•4/4/24, 3:31 AM

That’s normal. You pick the one you want to configure when you start configurator.

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:31 AM

Pplehmann so it looks like I can only connect to 1 of the ffb's each time and need to pic...

Number481OP•4/4/24, 3:44 AM

You can start multiple instances of configurator.

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:45 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:48 AM

ok.. I've tried now swapping the moroto data connection between the 2 ports on the board but dont see a x or y readout

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:48 AM

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:50 AM

whereas I get the normal output for the joystick

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:50 AM

Number481OP•4/4/24, 3:56 AM

If you only have one motor connected you need to disable the unused axis in configurator

plehmann•4/4/24, 3:56 AM

tada!

plehmann•4/4/24, 4:03 AM

@Number481 thx

so last bit is that there are no spring friction etcx effects that I can see after I've auto calibrated it roughly

plehmann•4/4/24, 4:04 AM

and thinking that the manual could do with some updating in this area- how could I contribute to updating a secion on adding in 2nd ffb to the system

Pplehmann and thinking that the manual could do with some updating in this area- how could...

Toddimus•4/4/24, 4:10 AM

I have been thinking the same about the manual. Having written some technical stuff for work and for our Simstrumentation Air Manager instruments, while I don’t like writing, I was thinking I’d contribute to the manual as well… once I get my motor kits. They passed through Prague earlier today.

plehmann•4/4/24, 4:21 AM

colab

plehmann•4/4/24, 4:23 AM

not too sure if this is my setup again but ...I'm getting

The telem (any version) now giving me an issue with my antivirus (its not defender) - strangely it’s not the main install folder but an associated file!

mac22443506•4/4/24, 7:42 PM

Got the rhino working well in MSFS for the fixed wing aircraft like the Comanche - however seem to have some issues with the helicopters (mainly fly the cowen sim ones) - seem to have it all setup correctly but from the start of the flights getting the sim running for a second then it pauses every few seconds (in the telem software its showing as a green light then pause symbol for a split second) makes the sim unplayable - any idea how to fix it?

Number481OP•4/4/24, 7:57 PM

you can try increasing the telemetry timeout value in the system settings dialog.

If it is flip/flopping in and out of a "paused' state, that almost certainly means that the incoming telemetry interval is exceeding the default 200ms value periodically. The telemetry is recieved and processed after every simulation frame, which is equivalent to your frame rate.

There would be no harm, for example, in setting the value to 400ms

mac22443506•4/4/24, 8:10 PM

Yes definite flip flop but seems to run for 2 seconds then pauses for about 1/2 second - strangely only had the issue with the cowen sim helicopters - everything else seems to work ok (initially thought it was a problem with the in game helicopter assists which I switched off)

Number481OP•4/4/24, 8:13 PM

if your framerate is noticeably lower with the Cowen, then that could explain it. If increasing the telemetry timeout doesn't help (or if you have to increase it an unreasonable amount), but your framerate doesn't reflect any issue... then I would have to point at the helicopter being the problem (I don't have any of the Cowen heli's but I'm sure others do, and I haven't heard of any known issues as of yet).

mac22443506•4/4/24, 8:34 PM

Actually don’t think it’s a frame rate issue as the pauses are (I think) not accompanied by any kind of fps drop (in fact getting a higher fps on some of the Cowan helicopter) my system is based around a 4090….also only seem to get the issue with rhino connected and the telem software running - have the axis being taken care of by telem (box ticked) - but do I actually need to clear the axis binds in game ?- the issue seems also to be accompanied by the FFB effects and spring centre and force trim acting randomly…..

Number481OP•4/4/24, 8:49 PM

If you have axis control enabled in TelemFFB you must unbind them in Msfs.

Number481OP•4/4/24, 8:53 PM

Though that will not cause any sort of timeout issues. It would only cause the control inputs to be fighting eachother.

FFulcrum hey guys does the Rhino work with MechWarrior 5?

Spelljammer1•4/5/24, 1:45 PM

if you are still searching for this option for Mechwarrior, I've found that the open source solution SpaceMonkey offers telemetry data from Mechwarrior 5. So hypothetically you could get more out of the Rhino by combining that with TelemFFB.

Spelljammer1•4/5/24, 1:47 PM

Good question actually: can TelemFFB interface with the telemetry data from SpaceMonkeyTP?
