So I just fired up my PC and have an odd issue - my Rhino appears to work and is "seen" by TelemFFB and WebUSB tool, but not within VPForce Configurator. Thoughts?

DAPAOP•5/5/24, 5:38 PM

That is all I get.

DAPAOP•5/5/24, 5:39 PM

Still works fine in game. I've moved it from different USB ports and get the same thing.

Just a random thought.
Anything like HidHide running and you forgot the let the stick visible to the configurator ?

DAPAOP•5/5/24, 5:54 PM

False alarm. I am running HidHide, but that wasn't it. On a hunch I powered down the PC completely and unplugged my USB cables and hubs and left them off for a minute, then powered it all back up. I noticed I was having odd issues with my HS70 wireless headset as well and figured that might be it....and it was.

DAPAOP•5/5/24, 5:55 PM

I need to engage brain before panic and asking questions.

Bob Bushman•5/5/24, 5:56 PM

Hardly hurts, and sometimes not asking can be much more expensive

DAPAOP•5/5/24, 5:57 PM

True!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Bob Bushman•5/5/24, 5:58 PM

Just only thing I could think of where it would work in some applications and not another, banged my head against that one myself once or twice

Bob Bushman•5/5/24, 6:01 PM

and thats one more for the block list

AndyHill•5/5/24, 6:02 PM

wow looks like a pretty sweet deal

Number481•5/5/24, 6:03 PM

Does it have FFB?

How to set up the Damper force in Heli trim mode? I wanted to have some strong damper force when holding the trim button in Apache. Now the problem is when holding the trim button, there is no force to hold the stick.

Hi....I completed the Google Forms Preorder sheet back in Dec 2023 but am concerned that I can't find a confirmation email indicating being on the preorder list. Is there a way I can verify this? Thanks... Terry Swindle

Bob Bushman•5/7/24, 1:28 PM

You can pm the @VPforceBot with !info your@email.etc

Touch_Of_Legend•5/7/24, 1:45 PM

When you filled out the pre order form did you get an email reply?

(basically a copy of the form you filled out should have been emailed to you at that exact moment)

That email doesn’t confirm you’re on the list but that’s how the google docs work so I’d check for that first to be sure you didn’t make a mistake and forget to “submit” the form.

If you can indeed find the form.

I’d ping Walmis and ask him about it.

Good luck!

Touch_Of_Legend•5/7/24, 1:46 PM

Or yep use the bot!

That’s who sends the updates like “invoice sent” or “paid”

FlatSpin•5/7/24, 1:58 PM

@BSS_Shadow_73 or you can DM the bot and type !info youremailaddress

FLOW | 303•5/7/24, 7:40 PM

Touch_Of_Legend•5/7/24, 8:20 PM

If you order the DIY kit the bot will invoice you as soon as they have your order assembled and your shipping calculated.

My order took a total… of 4 freaking days. TOTAL.

I got lucky and probably ordered right when new stock arrived before it was earmarked for the next order.

It can take some time depending on what you order and if it’s in stock or not.

IF you are on the Official Rhino pre order the bot will message you when your unit is being build and see if you want to Pay or drop out of line.

A lot of folks must drop out of the line because I see it move pretty quick.

So it matters if you are DIY or if you are official pre order that determines how long the wait is.

Touch_Of_Legend•5/7/24, 8:20 PM

You can always ping Walmis and ask if you feel like you missed or lost your place but there’s also a bot for that

FLOW | 303•5/7/24, 8:28 PM

thanks

Thank you! I've tried this and set Damper Instensity to 100%, but still felt so weak.

nz aviator•5/9/24, 6:31 AM

@walmis my stick is doing this. Seems to be proportional to the periodic effects slider. Currently at 50% but even at 5% it's noticeable

Can you post debug and effects tabs also?

nz aviator•5/9/24, 6:34 AM

walmis•5/9/24, 6:36 AM

looks like there's a bunch of left over effects, probably from telemFFB ?
You can click reset all effects in telemFFB or restart DCS it will reset the FFB automatically

nz aviator•5/9/24, 6:39 AM

that seems to have got it. had done a pc reset and closed telem ffb. must have had some weird artifact happen. thank you for your help

Let your stick have some fun for once and dance a bit :HelenaSmile:

Fr4Ged•5/9/24, 10:14 AM

yeah, looked cute with the music playing in the background

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:16 AM

No. 0072 says hi! How do I pull the top part off the shaft? Only two of the four screws were in their threads and I was advised to insert a nut in the shaft to fix it. But my hands are too weak to pull the part out.

walmis•5/9/24, 11:19 AM

You don't need to pull it out to add the nuts, just unscrew the connector and you will get full access

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:20 AM

I shined a light in the holes and neither is aligned. So that's why the screws don't connect. I guess a nut cannot fix this?

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:21 AM

I'll take a picture, hold on

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:25 AM

walmis•5/9/24, 11:27 AM

Yeah, It's still within tolerance. Btw, what's the problem?

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:29 AM

Noise and very small amount of play when spring force is > 50% and I move it forward-back in large movement. I fly helos now

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:29 AM

so it's not bothering me right now

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:30 AM

because I never need such movement, but I guess with warbirds and dogfighting this could occur

walmis•5/9/24, 11:43 AM

Are you sure it's the grip mount that's causing this? The play is only on the Y axis?

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:48 AM

No I'm not positive. Yes it's only in Y axis. What else causes these symptoms, usually?

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:48 AM

I think I can cut the plastic a little with a dremel and if the thread is ok, I might be able to fix it.

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 11:49 AM

I would like the new aluminium mount though. I wish I knew which one is misaligned the holes in the plastic or the holes in the shaft.

Reed•5/9/24, 12:11 PM

This works surprisingly well

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 12:32 PM

I removed some plastic with a dremel. I can now get the pilot-facing screw in, but the forward facing doesn't want to connect. I think it's the screw thread. I tried swapping screws but that didn't help.

LeLv30_Superbus•5/9/24, 1:55 PM

I put it back together with just 3 screws. I realised the fourth screw could drop into the Rhino at any time. The noise is unchanged. It's like a thud and I feel it in my hand too. But I don't feel any play in Y-axis. Maybe I imagined the play and it was just the thump I felt?

Number481•5/9/24, 2:33 PM

I fought with mine for some time trying to source some creaking/popping. I focused on the connector for a while too, but it ultimately turned out to be the pulley screws. They had loosened themselves up a bit which was allowing the Y pulley to shift ever so slightly under heavy loads. Giving them a good cinching down resolved the issue for me.

So I just fired up my PC and have an odd issue - my Rhino appears to work and is "seen" by TelemFFB
