doing the good old IT tip first of have you tried turning it (PC) off and on again

Does the Adaptive Recentering feature respect an off-center helo force trim location? I think so, but I want to double check?

Number481•4/23/24, 6:32 PM

yes, since the "center" moves with the trimmed position

Stryker990•4/23/24, 8:32 PM

can report after a pc restart and reseting the effects it worked again tho in hindsight i should have done them seperately now i dont know what fixed it

Just sayin’ I love me some VA so I’m watching and looking at all these cool features as you guys figure them out (or implement new ones).

If this isn’t possible maybe you can go suggest it!?

Number481•4/24/24, 11:35 AM

AFAIK there is no command line ability in configurator to perform the reset function.

You could possibly restart TelemFFB (if you are using it) and pass the

-r

-r

flag though, which will force a reset via the hidapi.

Do keep in mind though that if you are using DCS, doing a reset while it is running will likely end up in requiring a restart of the sim.

Bob Bushman•4/24/24, 1:26 PM

Silly question time perhaps, but I got the virpil Z-extension, but as soon as I apply any measure of lateral force, say towards the edge of throw and barely 40-45% on spring it twists (well there is a lot of leverage and this point), it feels almost to me it's not twisting in the attachment but that the extension itself is being rotated.

Question though is this for anyone with this extension, is this how the extension is built or am I wrong and should just add a rubber gasket inbetween the rhino and extension ?

Bob Bushman•4/24/24, 1:29 PM

Took it off again, and from the other angle see its got grub screws or whatnot to prevent just that twist, off to buy rubber

Hii. Please excuse me, I received my invoice to pay but I'd like one more item to be added, an adapter for winwing sticks. Who to contact?

Swoop•4/25/24, 7:34 AM

Does anyone have any good profiles preconfigured for the VPRhino with 57BLF03 motors? curious about the max amps collumn down the right hand side but would also love to know how other people configure the damper, spring, intertia etc

Bob Bushman•4/25/24, 10:11 AM

And now I notice another feature of the z-extension and realise all my shenanigans from yesterday was all for nothing :facepalm:
It has locking screws for crying out loud..
In my defense there was no manual in the box.

Major_Fault•4/25/24, 3:06 PM

Hi guys, looking for a bit of guidance. If I mount the Thrustmaster grip, do I have to remove the silver screws before attaching or can I just screw the grip on like is?

walmis•4/25/24, 3:19 PM

It should just fit

Wwalmis It should just fit

Hi guys, is there a way to turn on the fans permanently?

Bob Bushman•4/25/24, 7:17 PM

There is a "test fan" button or something in the debug section of the configurator.

Bob Bushman•4/25/24, 7:18 PM

But shouldn't really be any need to do it.
It will activate long before an actual issue.

[OR] SerGeant•4/25/24, 7:29 PM

I want to build a custom cooling solution to reduce the noise of the build in fans. So I am looking for a 12v permanent output on the PCB. An option to always on would be nice.

Touch_Of_Legend•4/25/24, 7:38 PM

You should put it in the wishlist

Sudeebare•4/26/24, 1:15 AM

On VKB adapter the locating screw diameter is too large to fit into the receiving chamber in the VKB MCG Pro grip for offset. I guess that isn't necessary since the grip can be oriented as desired then tightened down on the base with the adapter's cap. It's hard to believe that the adapter won't loosen under any unintended twisting of the grip though.

Major_Fault•4/26/24, 7:10 PM

Speaking of VKB adaptors ... is there a way to connect that old KG12 grip to the Rhino (black box owned)?

Vitalii Muravytskyi•4/26/24, 9:06 PM

Sure thing, VKB adaptor needs to be connected to a BlackBox, Rhino is not handling the grip. I’m using the same KG12, no issues.

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 9:41 PM

I was rotating the orientation of the base connector, something I see many have done. Any tips on reconnecting this cable again?

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 9:42 PM

I was convinced it would have more slack

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 10:03 PM

Major_Fault•4/26/24, 10:31 PM

grateful for you taking the time to answer, but maybe I am stoopid or blind. But how do you fix the grip to the adaptor. I understand the need for the blackbox, but physically fixing the stick on top of the extension, how DO I Do that? Because just putting it on top does not hold ... ?

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 10:33 PM

you need the locking nut + bolt from VKB

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 10:33 PM

it goes in the round hole in the VKB connector

Spelljammer1•4/26/24, 10:34 PM

you can watch their YouTube video on how to connect a grip to Gunfighter for example

SSpelljammer1 you need the locking nut + bolt from VKB

Heyhey, i guess the 57blf03 motor wiring from the vpf kit is modified, right? The ones in the kit have 4 cables in total as far as i can see. Vendor Datasheets i found online and in old forum posts show motors with 7 cables.

TheAmazinGreat•4/27/24, 12:43 AM

The motors have a custom (as far as I know) pcb on the back.

Asger•4/27/24, 12:43 AM

Hi, how do you change the orientation of the stick? I don’t think it works either way unless you do something in the Rhino, right? I am using the TM stick

Asger•4/27/24, 7:34 AM

Thanks, although I am not sure I understand. Do I have to unscrew the top part (2 little screws), then just rotate it and screw them again?

AAsger Thanks, although I am not sure I understand. Do I have to unscrew the top part (...

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:35 AM

Yes. And in between fiddle with the cable length if you do not have enough slack to do that. You'll figure it out, a little fiddly but entirely user-doable.

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:36 AM

Careful not to pull much on the connector wires

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:36 AM

Alternatively, many extensions for TMs have just a plain cable in them, which allows you to rotate the grip freely.

Spelljammer1•4/27/24, 10:37 AM

That way there is no risk in changing out the orientation.

you might need to reset the effects because them being stuck. happened to me once before when I cras
