If it recognizes the TM and not Virpil/RS is very odd. Since both use the same signalling. The only thing comes to mind is it's not making a proper electrical connection at the 5 pin mini din socket.

Thanks for such a speedy reply.

Make sure it's inserted fully. Try pressing a button on the grip and push/wiggle the connector in the base and see if the button indicator in the VP configurator shows any action.

Boo Berry•5/30/24, 12:58 PM

I have the winwing adapter but need the stick to be just a bit longer. I made my own adapter and extention to go from vp rhino to winwing grip but now I have to make/buy a plug for the wiring. I see that the rhino base uses a 5pin female and the winwing uses a 6pin male plug. What does 6th pin do, do i need it. I have a short 6pin to 6pin, can I pull the 6th pin out and use that cable?

TheAmazinGreat•5/30/24, 1:36 PM

Can you not put the WW adapter on top of your new adapter and go 5 pin to 5 pin?

Rhino (5) to new adapter (5 to 5) to WW adapter (5 to 6).

Boo Berry•5/30/24, 1:50 PM

Unfortunately it would be too long at that point. Plus the adapter doesn't really tighten very well. Always has this loose feel where you can't tighten it enough and twists.

TheAmazinGreat•5/30/24, 2:09 PM

I’ve seen a few people use a rubber oring to help snug it up. But have you tried removing the screws and seeing what’s inside the WW adapter? I don’t think it’s just a straight pass through cable with one pin removed. I think there is more to it. But if you can get it apart you may be able to transfer the guts over to your adapter.

Boo Berry•5/30/24, 2:23 PM

I did take the screws out but that's as far as I went. I was afraid to try and take the wires out in case I broke anything, still have to use it for now. I'm hoping there is a wire diagram showing which pins are being used and where they go.

TheAmazinGreat•5/30/24, 3:51 PM

I want to say there is a PCB in there from what I have seen others discuss on the topic but I am not sure, you may have to ping Walmis.

Number481•5/30/24, 6:26 PM

do you have multiple devices? The auto-launch is to automatically launch instances of TelemFFB for pedals/collectve. Theres no auto-launch checkboxes for the master device since that is the instance that gets created when you actually start the app.

You didn't say anything about the 2nd image, but it is informing you what it is going to modify in the IL-2 config to enable telemetry export towards TelemFFB.

thedicecooler•6/2/24, 3:09 AM

With damper enabled, I keep getting oscillations and shutdown. I've been messing with LPF tuning etc. and have reduced it where I dont get the shutdown for just touching the stick. However, I still get slight vibration/oscillation but only in the x-axis, yaxis is smooth. Any suggestions? Trying to fly DCS Apache. When I get the ETL vibration effect from TelemFFB, it goes bananas and vibrates strongly until I shut it off and back on.

thedicecooler•6/2/24, 6:34 PM

This is where I ended up through randomness. I would like to know how the dynamics interact between Spring force and damper with respect to LPF and the sliders. My objective was a spring centering, damped feel that reflects the slowness observed by the reaction of controls in DCS apache vs. the actual stick. If I deflect the stick and let it go, it lightly bounces like a spring on it's way back to center, but I have the damped feel/look I wanted.

I think someone lifted up the leather boot and tightened the bolts at the TOP of the metal tube connector?

It was long ago but someone fixed this creak by doing that and I think the culprit was the square metal tube and those screws.

Has anyone noticed the force in one of the axis for the motor going bad? I think my Y-axis motor may be going bad

WhereNoLarkFlew•6/4/24, 1:58 AM

The level of force is much less than X axis, all settings have each axis at 100%

WhereNoLarkFlew•6/4/24, 2:12 AM

Also, is there a way to reduce pot_2 to 0%? I don’t have it bound to anything, but it’s been sitting at 1.2% and changes to 0.7% if I scroll the potentiometer to 0.0% for pot_1.

WhereNoLarkFlew•6/4/24, 2:52 AM

walmisOP•6/4/24, 3:54 AM

My guess is that the motor was preheated from earlier and does a bit of thermal throttling, it shouldn't be going 'bad' - it either works or doesn't

In the off chance - it could be a thermal paste issue between the motor and transistors on the driver pcb that impedes heat dissipation into the motor, that causes it to register higher temperatures.

When pot_2 is unconnected it floats a bit due to high electrical impedance, but if it's disabled in software it doesn't do anything regardless
