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

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

You swap around the connector, I just posted a pic from the process

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.

AsgerOP•4/27/24, 11:45 AM

Thanks a lot

MaxVonDayGlow•4/27/24, 1:13 PM

As an FYI Virpil sells extensions that use the same M36x2 mounting system as TM and Rhino. The 20cm “S” curve and Z-extension have the cable built in.

Hi! Just finished my Rhino build. I can't seem to be able to get the auto calibration to stick. I recalibrate but once that is done, it reverts to my previous calibration settings. Anyone got an idea on what I'm doing wrong?

Magpie•4/28/24, 12:35 PM

Hey can someone take a look at this wiring for me? I’m well out of my depth

Asdforce•4/28/24, 6:04 PM

Just to confirm, are you doing exactly as follows?
1. Click "Auto calibrate"
2. Click "Ok" on the pop-up screen
3. Move the stick to full deflection on both axes
4. Click "Auto calibrate" again
5. Click "Store settings"

NiccoSWE•4/30/24, 7:39 AM

Yes, I did. It's reverting back to the full movement and not the restricted I have with the throw limiter.

@Niklas [NiccoSWE] can you post a screenshot of the values after calibration?

Magpie•4/30/24, 12:39 PM

I turned it on and didn’t die so that was nice

Magpie•4/30/24, 12:39 PM

Idk why but it didn’t come up with a raw value for the motor so I guess I have some reading to do tomorrow but it’s too late now

Magpie•4/30/24, 12:47 PM

Ah don’t worry, I had to turn the y axis off

Magpie•4/30/24, 12:50 PM

Now I can go to sleep easy

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 5:27 PM

I have had my Rhino for a few weeks. It has always felt very weak , so today I have fiddled with every setting that I can tweak and still no joy.....I did open the debug page and there is all of these line items which state: FFB_RemoveEffect (9) and (15) and (16).....So I have probably screwed something up. Can anyone help get me on the right track again?

TheAmazinGreat•4/30/24, 6:20 PM

There should be a default profile to load in the configs directory of the configurator. Also you can take a look at the profile sharing thread in the knowledge base to see how others have set theirs up.

walmis•4/30/24, 7:00 PM

If by weak you mean you want it more stiff at the center, you can tune the spring mapping:
🧰support

Also I recommend importing the default Rhino settings profile from

configs/RHINO-defaults.vpconf

configs/RHINO-defaults.vpconf

file, since all sliders and effects at max will cause instability and motor shutoff.

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:47 PM

@Chuff nope the knob is fully clockwise

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:49 PM

@walmis no, it feels no more stronger than my virpil at present. There is definitely something wrong or mis configured on my part

Chuff•4/30/24, 7:50 PM

what module are you flying?

Chuff•4/30/24, 7:50 PM

and are you running telemffb while in game?

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:50 PM

P51 and Huey mostly

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:50 PM

Telemffb is running

Chuff•4/30/24, 7:51 PM

not sure what the state of huey ffb support is, but the p51 has great ffb support and can get very heavy at times on the controls

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:52 PM

If I could get a P51 profile to download, maybe it would fix what ever is out of whack.

Chuff•4/30/24, 7:52 PM

does telemffb appear to working? in other words, when you load into the module in dcs you can see what module you're in in telemffb, and it's reporting what effects it's triggering?

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:53 PM

Yes. Look at the pics I uploaded and see if you can spot something if you would,please

Chuff•4/30/24, 7:53 PM

those are from the configurator. I'm talking about telemffb. different application

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:54 PM

The lower left pic is from the teleffb app

Chuff•4/30/24, 7:55 PM

what does telem show if you open the settings tab?

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:57 PM

You know, I just noticed something else, if you click on the upper right pic and look at the lower right hand corner, there seems to be motor errors….that can’t be good

Chuff•4/30/24, 7:58 PM

Yeah, I'm out of ideas for you. sorry, man. Hopefully @walmis sees your last message about the motor errors.

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 7:59 PM

I am rebooting my computer now to see if that resets anything. Do you have a P51 profile that you would share?

Chuff•4/30/24, 8:01 PM

I pretty much run it at default. just tweaked the settings to my liking in telemffb. So I turn things like runway rumble way down. Other than that I didn't do a lot of tweaking. found it to be pretty good for me out of the box

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 8:02 PM

Thanks for,your help!

Chuff•4/30/24, 8:11 PM

sorry my help wasn't more helpful. lol

DDennis Johnson Thanks for,your help!

Number481•4/30/24, 9:40 PM

FWIW, TelemFFB has naught to do with stick forces in DCS. That’s all the native FFB from the sim.

WRT the motor error, did you try the reset motor button on the debug tab?

Booker•4/30/24, 11:16 PM

I’m not getting special effects on DCS P-51. The stick itself is working great, flight control wise, the issue is that I’m not getting anything else - stall buffeting, firing guns, etc. Thanks in advance!

Booker•4/30/24, 11:17 PM

What do we do with the Rhino at the end of the day when we’re done using it? Turn off the motors with the red button? Unplug the power supply?

Dennis Johnson•4/30/24, 11:54 PM

@Number481 I rebooted computer, cycled the power on the rhino, imported the default config. Stick seems to work better now.
