Anyone know how to fix it when the telem app isn’t picking up the loaded sim? It was working well in xplane yesterday, but when I tried it this morning it just said “waiting for data”.

You need to be siting in the plane, not in DCS menu. If that's not working, you need to check: "My Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua" if it has line added for telemffb

There’s nothing very dynamic about the plug-in for xplane. Either it should work or not. Unless there was an xplane update that broke something, there’s nothing that could change from run to run that would affect it.

You can check the loaded plugins in xplane from the menu after startup. If you see the TelemFFB plugin listed, it should be working.

Wwalmis It's possible you have multiple axis bound in DCS

This check other hats and vr controllers and other peripherals with hats. This happened to me.

Wwalmis Thanks, I'll try to reproduce this tomorrow and come up with a fix

Mistic•4/12/24, 10:24 AM

We’re you able to recreate the issue?

Yeah, I get the same behavior if I disconnect the +5V wire going to the grip. So it's either the mini DIN connector or the inside wire that's not making contact with the 5V power.
Not exactly sure why it worked during testing and not working now. But If you're able to inspect the connector it might be a quick fix. Otherwise I'll need to send you a replacement.

When using the hardware trim option, do we need the same binds set in dcs or does the configurator software override them?

walmis•4/12/24, 12:39 PM

You don't need to enable hardware trim if the sim supports it natively. It might cause interference.

Hello Walmis,
how much do you sell this type of connector, and is it for a thrusmaster stick? because I am interested in finalizing my vpforce rhino

Hello, all. Thinking of jumping in and trying to build my own.
Someone has offered me these motors. I have never seen them before. Does anyone have experience with them. They seem awfully small next to the Odrive board.

Spit400•4/12/24, 6:58 PM

Secondly, where are the step by step instructions for this build? I have been poking around but haven't found a thread for directions. Could someone point me in the right direction for directions? Cheers.

smitty•4/12/24, 7:02 PM

any directions youd find here are for vpforce motors, not those

Spit400•4/12/24, 7:14 PM

The motors aren't agnostic? I read somewhere that electric scooter motors might be used, no?

smitty•4/12/24, 7:16 PM

nope, there is a custom board on the end of the motors that talks to the usb board

I think you may be correct, Fierce Fire. Maybe Lazer Wing? I double check. Thanks all for your feedback.

I am running into a strange issue where the Rhino is connected but the VPforce FFB Configurator is not picking it up. The device shows up on the WebUSB Tool and in Game Controllers but it does not register with the Configurator. Everything runs fine in game but I can't configure anything. It was working previously albeit I haven't used the configurator in a while

WeaselGX•4/13/24, 4:19 AM

I have tried running with Administrator mode and have restarted and unplugged everything but I get the same result

Does anyone happen to have the thrustmaster warthog mini din pin out?

I/JG7_Moto•4/13/24, 1:04 PM

DCS warbirds, aileron resistamce feels a lot more than elevator resistamce, what setting will help make them have equal resistance?

I/JG7_Moto•4/13/24, 1:06 PM

I/JG7_Moto•4/13/24, 1:06 PM

Or increase just elevator resistance

WeaselGX•4/14/24, 12:22 PM

I figured it out after some trial and error. The USB ID is somehow stuck on 2050 even though the default in hardware is 2055. Once I was able to plug to another computer and change the joystick USB device ID to 2050, I was able to connect to the machine in question above. I am not sure why the software is stuck to 2050 on that PC. @walmis

On an unrelated note, It warms my heart that after a decade people are still using this. I created this diagram when I first started modding and here we are, building a FFB stick.

from what I have seen, firstly of course VPforce Rhino is the best as far as software, support & community etc. but if you are going diy with non vpforce motors then I would suggest FFbeast not laserwing, can't say about current laserwing but from what I saw of it last & what I have recently seen of FFBeast I would suggest it over laserwing, it seems to have decent software & support growing. Though a vpforce motor/electronics kit would be my top suggestion.

Fierce_Fire•4/15/24, 2:19 PM

Its just the motors, board and usb connector. You'll need a way to connect the motors to the stick (the gimbal) and some way to attach them to your rig (base). There are DIY kits people have designed where you need a 3d printer and to purchase the listed parts, if you use the discord search function you'll be able to find a few.
