ScarletOP•5/19/24, 9:07 AM

Oh I have no doubt, I'm just not sure I want to hang onto the Libra until I get it. I'm looking into the Orion 2 now. It would be nice to remain in the WW ecosystem so I can keep using their amazing FA-18 grip. But there are also tempting offers from Verpil and VPC that more closely reflect helicopter cyclics in both grip and stem.
Lots to ponder

Due to the wait times on a Rhino (unless you DIY)

I recommend sticking to all current gear until you grab the Rhino.

After that rebuild the rig around the new much larger base.

I was originally thinking extension but due to the height of the unit and the length of the shaft on the Rhino it’s like having an extension already so you may need to adjust things to get them back into proper flight positions.

So I say… keep the WW base and you’ll really have something to look forward to when the Rhino comes.

The actual wait list is like 7months and the bot can tell you the average wait per unit is like.. 200ish days.

So get on that list now!

Happy flying

Also you’ll be able to see the live updates and they ship them every single day (usually a few)

Hmm, yeah. I did JUST do a full new PC build and pit mounting upgrade so I'll sit on this one for a while

Touch_Of_Legend•5/19/24, 9:28 AM

Usually you can figure something out and some of the makers are beginning to sell Rhino mounts for sim rigs (I think the one I saw was from simfab?)

Touch_Of_Legend•5/19/24, 9:29 AM

Build issue resolved. Updating to latest build b407d4d0 should work well now

TelemFFB Release

There is a big refactoring of the code by walmis in this update in an effort to better organize the code. As such, there are some important NOTE's below. So be sure to at least read the first few lines

Several other goodies below that folk's have been waiting for as well.

As always, you can download the latest from: https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/TelemFFB/?C=M;O=D or let your current install update itself.

General/System:

- Major code refactoring and re-organization of code
- NOTE: Users running from python natively will need to re-run the requirements.txt pip install or manually install the "stransi" python library
- NOTE: The format of the system settings in the registry has changed, thus you will need to re-configure your TelemFFB system settings.
- Distribution structure has been changed. You will again notice some subfolders that contain the compiled python libraries and other supporting files. This was done to aid in reducing false positive malware detection.
- New Global "vpconf" profile option
- Can set the "startup profile" in system settings to use as a default configurator profile. If the profile was changed by an aircraft and there is no profile defined for the newly loaded aircraft, TelemFFB will re-push the global default
- See manual section 4.2.10
- New option to prune log archive zips after a configurable time threshold

IL-2

- Fixed issue where sim constantly sends stale telemetry after crash or in MP map, causing effects to play forever

DCS

- Added basic support and default profile for the F-4E
- New "Spring Override" feature to better support popular community mods or other aircraft that do not support FFB
- Implements identical functionality to what is traditionally accomplished with "Sticky Spring" and "Hardware Trim" in configurator
- Supports force trim and hat/button based trim.
- See manual section 4.2.6.2.5
- Add damage effect support for OH-6 and A-4 community mods
- Add basic support for F-4E module

DCS/MSFS

- New acceleration vector based "touch down" effect. Creates a sharp forward force on the stick when touching down. The harder you hit, the more force is applied (with configurable limits)

MSFS

- Nosewheel Shimmy effect enhancements:
- Fixed effect playing while applying brakes while airborn
- Fixed effect playing while stationary on the ground with a headwind
- Enhanced nosewheel shimmy so the shake frequency is higher at higher speeds and reduces as speed decreases
- Enhanced dynamic simconnect subscription capabilities
- A2A Comanche now uses acceleration vector data directly from the AccuSim flight model. This should fix the long-standing "shifting stick position" issue.
- Requires latest update from A2A (v1.5.0 or later)

Touch_Of_Legend•5/20/24, 5:56 PM

Yes you need to be careful with the threads but honestly the thread size is deeeeep so it should be difficult to break.

I’ve only ever seen 1 break and 1 that got badly cross threaded by its owner.

Most folks it’s pretty much set it and forget it.

Like anything with moving parts it’s a good idea to check belt tension and pulley bolts every so often.

That’s life for anything under tension and especially under drive force.

Outside that I don’t see many issues with the Rhino it’s honestly been bullet proof the whole time I’ve been on the discord

Touch_Of_Legend•5/20/24, 5:58 PM

And I’ve seen the software update over and over and over so it’s honestly a great feeling to be a user because you just sit back and it gets better and better while you sleep.

Touch_Of_Legend•5/20/24, 6:02 PM

Oh and I guess it also goes without saying if you can avoid “hot swapping” sticks that’s a great way to keep the threads working great!

I also suggested to someone previously to use a rubber O ring to take up the gap.

If your stick is scrwed all the way down but not locked.

For me the T50 locked down so no O ring needed and I just made sure it’s tight but not over tight.
