maybe pin this answer - It is valuable explanation. I got it completely backwards (which gives probably the same result, but still - this is helpful in understanding the software)! TY
As I undertstand it, the effects-gains and settings-gains are multiplied with each other (and then multiplied by master gain) - so in effect it probably doesn't matter on which side you adjust them, as long as the product isn't too high. @walmis , please correct me if I got it wrong.
It does matter - Settings in the "Effects" tab are overridden by application, and have no effect when the application drives the Spring for example. So in order to tune down the strength of the effects you need to set via the sliders in the settings tab. An example: Let's say an application creates and sets a Friction effect to max : 4096 (100%) and you have no control over the application. In this case you set the Friction slider to an acceptable value, for example 30%.
Ok - understood. Than my conclusion would be, it is better (safer) to put the effects settings to 100% and control the overall strength with the settings page? (And or master-gain)
Unfortunately when I hit reset, as the motors werenβt responding, all the settings were reset to a βconservativeβ setting. I could not find an image of the default settings after that, and anytime I restarted the software the new settings were showing, which were all 0
There is a default Rhino config in the configs/RHINO-defaults.vpconfconfigs/RHINO-defaults.vpconf, click import then store config. Also make sure to to run auto calibration after, since your calibration was reset too probably.
And do you have any solution for the F14 stick problem? If not then Iβll need to get another adapter. In the end I was able to hammer it down but there is no way it will come off now
How can I fix this behavior? This is in dcs with the apache. I hold trim release and move the stick, but the center does not remain where the stick is physically and when I release the trim button the stick moves back to a different "center" than where it should be
The shaft itself. Even on the vkb extension there is a little bit of resistance compared to the gunfighter, but it feels like rubbery resistance and goes down fairly easy. But on the VPFORCE extension grip it takes more force than I can put on it. Only way was with a hammer
Is it normal? I use spring gain 20% with Max current 30A. So when full draw, axis current should show ~6A. But full aft shows 6.6~6.7A whereas full fwd, left and right shows ~6A
Speaking of currents, I have a question about the motors: If I noticed correctly the fan activates when either motor (usually the pitch) reaches 50 C and turns of when under 45 C give or take, but I wonder what would be the critical temperature for the motors before they take damage? I canβt find any specs about it. 60, 70, 80 Cβ¦. when will they take damage? Iβm asking, 1. out of curiosity and 2. because I will use the same motor and pcb in my pedals-mod, but without a cooler. I assume it will work out, but who knowsβ¦.. (btw. when will the current limiter set in?)
I guess the limiting factor would be the motor's magnet curie temperature, at which they start to demagnetize, which is unknown. But anyhow the motors are thermally limited, similarly how GPUs self limit to maintain a stable max temp.
So, soon to get my order thingy. Im in the processing stage, has anyone used the base with a thrustmaster warthog OG grip? I'm worried about the metal thing breaking. What sticks are you guys using? Sorry if its the wrong channel
I think anticogging for y axis is not working perfectly. I could feel minute bump at a center of y axis movement(x axis is perfectly smooth). Can it be caused by a belt is too tight?
FWIW I had a similar situation which was solved by removing 20 cm extension + VKB adapter and installing a 10 cm extension. Never found out which one caused it. The bump/noise was also only in Y axis like in your case. Could be something completely different though and idk whether you are even using an extension or adapter.
Keep in mind if you wanted to mount the Rhino the other way you can also rotate the stop button this way so itβs still facing you and saying βstopβ or whatever.
All you do after that is Invert the Axis in the Vpconfig software (NOT in games!)
I used the Rhino with the TM F-16/Warthog grip for a while but changed to a Virpil Constellation rather quick. It works but the Warthog isn't just my cup of tea. Way to heavy and stiff feeling. That is just personal preference though. It works well and keeps its balance with decent spring settings.
Anyone know if you can use Virpil Alpha thumb stick as buttons in each direction? There was a way to do that in Virpil Software - any ideas on how to mimic that in the VPForce config?
