First congrats! I’m really excited to see another baby Rhino in the wild.

For questions like that to get a quicker response I would go ahead and tag @walmis

Bob Bushman•6/4/24, 5:27 PM

The normal mount is simply 2d printed, and if you have an accident and get a grip or extension even a slightly bit crooked on, you will quickly shear off the thread as you basically just attacked it with a dull burr tool.

TheAmazinGreat•6/4/24, 5:27 PM

It’s an upgrade to the grip attachment threads from 3D printed to Aluminum.

Bob Bushman•6/4/24, 5:29 PM

I managed to do just that, do have an aluminium piece now, but i also managed to 3d print a replacement two days before it arrived so haven't actually fitted it yet.

I honestly think it would be a decent upgrade for the most often worn/broken part on the whole rhino.

AndyHill•6/4/24, 5:40 PM

depends a lot on how often you intend to switch grips

MonkOP•6/4/24, 5:43 PM

Ah Ok, thx everybody. I have two grips at the moment, probably more to come… a sturdy thread seems to be a good idea

Andre•6/5/24, 9:15 AM

I've got a problem with my Collective. Everything worked fine until next week, suddenly i get a FAULT_ENCODER_MAGNET Error as soon as i power up the Collective. When i set Master Gain to 0% and restart, everything is fine. As soon as i increase the Gain to around 30-50 % the Motor times out again with the same error. I'm using the swap function to get an X mtoro to run as an Y. But, the Collective has been working like that for at least 2 months now without any problems. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

walmis•6/5/24, 9:21 AM

Your damper force LPF is 0Hz for some reason, set it to 6Hz and it should be fine

Andre•6/5/24, 9:25 AM

That was quick! And it worked!

Thank you! No idea what changed it to 0 though.

Touch_Of_Legend•6/5/24, 10:04 AM

Just for myself the standard setting for Rhino is 4Hz?

But yeah never 0 right? I need to re watch your set up video again

PiNKSH!T•6/5/24, 12:33 PM

Hey guys if I've got a Virpil Warbrd grip & getting all FFFFF in the grip debug does that mean I might not have the grip plugged in properly?

PiNKSH!T•6/5/24, 12:33 PM

also I have no virpil base just the Rhino

PiNKSH!T•6/5/24, 1:42 PM

got that working, need to really seat the plug in on the virpil

ddrake1984•6/5/24, 11:39 PM

noticed this option doesn't work in latest update

ddrake1984•6/5/24, 11:40 PM

I had to download the configurator separately to run it

Dddrake1984 noticed this option doesn't work in latest update

Number481•6/5/24, 11:49 PM

seems to work fine? The configurator isn't bundled with TelemFFB or anything. It needs to be installed on your system and you need to have run it at least once (so that it sets its own path in the registry which is how TelemFFB finds it).

ddrake1984•6/5/24, 11:49 PM

it always ran before, latest update changed broke something with it

ddrake1984•6/5/24, 11:50 PM

I just ran the configurator again, and then just tried to run it from telemFFB and still nothing.

ddrake1984•6/5/24, 11:51 PM

ok, found the problem

ddrake1984•6/5/24, 11:52 PM

if my joystick is plugged in and turned on, then it will run but if my pedals are plugged in and my joystick is not, it will not

ddrake1984•6/5/24, 11:52 PM

essentially seems to only work for joystick and not pedals

Number481•6/5/24, 11:58 PM

that's because it tries to send the PID/SN of the device when opening configurator (even though it doesn't work which reminds me I need to make a FR to walmis to allow passing the device details via args to configurator). Since you are trying from the master instance, and there is no device, it is (silently) throwing an exception because there is no SN. If you showed the child instance window (pedals) and opened it from there, it would work.

No point in having the device information passed unless/until its supported by configurator so I'll fix that.

walmis•6/6/24, 3:56 AM

Touch_Of_Legend•6/6/24, 8:08 AM

Not gonna lie but most of them come with extension purchases.

I’d be interested to see a link as well as for different sizes since here a lot of folks 3d print stuff (including extensions).

So great question!

PiNKSH!T•6/6/24, 8:32 AM

Hey guys what grip should I select in vpforce config app when using the VKB adapter? is it disable?

plehmann•6/6/24, 9:44 AM

hmmm been haviong this issue more recently- noticed directly with phantom whereby the stick is offset centre forwards...

plehmann•6/6/24, 9:44 AM

but now - given that I've reset the config, the circle ( virtual centre is up at the top ????!?!?

plehmann•6/6/24, 9:53 AM

if I click Sticky for spring then the circle moves back to the centre

plehmann•6/6/24, 9:54 AM

having said that either way- the joystick tends to 'vibrate/quiver'

plehmann•6/6/24, 10:31 AM

any thoughts ?

plehmann•6/6/24, 10:32 AM

If I run msfs or dcs thibngs seem to stabilise

plehmann•6/6/24, 10:32 AM

and I'm now exited and closed down telem and joystick returns to normal centered circel

plehmann•6/6/24, 10:34 AM

walmis•6/6/24, 10:49 AM

Center point is controlled by application, so it's best to look at telemFFB here. #

Koozie•6/6/24, 1:15 PM

Configurator update when™?

D0RMICUM•6/7/24, 12:17 PM

Hi all
Seems I'm too stupid to set up my Rhino correct - I've followed the manual, connected the Rhino, did Auto Calibrate and use following settings but there is no FF at all - red knob is released not pressed. What am I doing wrong?

DD0RMICUM Hi all Seems I'm too stupid to set up my Rhino correct - I've followed the manua...

Touch_Of_Legend•6/7/24, 12:36 PM

As a test of the device connection.

Turn/twist the potentiometer completely to the OFF.

With your settings (above) that says the Pot is set to Sping gain.

That should remove all spring tension from the Rhino.

Now move the stick side to side.

Does it stay?

Now turn the potentiometer to full and the Rhino should spring to center.

That shows the Rhino is connected and speaking to the software.

After that you need to start the telem app (update as needed) and start a game!

LeLv30_Superbus•6/7/24, 12:36 PM

Did you hear a beeping sound when you connected power and USB ? Is the stick not centering when you turn the knob? What simulator are you testing?

LeLv30_Superbus•6/7/24, 12:41 PM

also it may feel be a bit strange with 100% friction (check the slider)

D0RMICUM•6/7/24, 12:44 PM

Thank you both! Have to apologize, the issue was sitting right in friont of the display!! When I did the Auto calibration something went wrong, everything (forces, etc.) were set to 0 and all forces were gone. When I reaplied my settings I forgot to send it to the device! Shame on me!

D0RMICUM•6/7/24, 12:45 PM

So forces are back and I'll retry my config in DCS

DD0RMICUM Hi all Seems I'm too stupid to set up my Rhino correct - I've followed the manua...

walmis•6/7/24, 12:50 PM

I suggest reducing max Damper and Friction sliders to 30-40% so It won't become unstable if some app tries to create a damper at 100%

peteg•6/7/24, 2:09 PM

Are there instructions somewhere to swap out the standard grip mount for the aluminum grip mount?

Oneill•6/7/24, 4:57 PM

Hi guys, just had my delivery of the rhino, it’s bloody beautiful.
I have absolutely no idea how to really use a pc, I’ve got the rhino plugged in and downloaded whatever it was, I have found the file vp force config, clicked on it.
I’ve got a big red cross plus Qt5Charts.d11 not found.
Wtf is that and how do I proceed?
Guys I’m willing to pay for the time you spend helping me out.
I did have one guy helping but he’s not around anymore.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Number481•6/7/24, 5:42 PM

if you are getting an error like that with the configurator software, you probably copied or moved the exe out if its folder or you are trying to run it from inside the zip file without extracting it first. You must unzip the whole package downloaded from https://vpforcecontrols.com/usb/rhino/ and unzip it to your PC (location is not important). Then run the VPforce_FFB_Configuratyor.exe file that is in the resulting directory.

Bob Bushman•6/7/24, 5:45 PM

I also recommend setting both the configurator and especially your folder for telemffb as folder exclusions in windows defender.
Howto:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26

Add an exclusion to Windows Security - Microsoft Support

Find out how to stop Windows Security from alerting you about or blocking a trusted file, file type, or process, by adding it to the exclusions list.

Bob Bushman•6/7/24, 5:46 PM

Or defender loves to go in panic mode over telemffb and delete the executable when you try to launch it.

I'm about to confirm my order at last (YAY!) - but now I'm wondering: what is "13. Machined Aluminum
