got my WW grip/adapter working, it is really finicky & doesn't like being swapped over. The estop still isn't working & I'm really not keen on flying without it

PiNKSH!TOP•6/15/24, 12:09 PM

what sort of estop is it? what specs is it?

Emergency Stop Switch - Langir Electric

The Turn to Release Emergency Stop Switch provides you with a way to stop your ctuator instantly in case of emergency. All you do is press the button down and it will lock in the Off position, stopping the movement of your actuator. To put it back in the On position, just turn the switch clockwise to release it. Please be aware you may require a...

J2_NobiWan•6/15/24, 7:42 PM

Hi, I finally figured out what was causing this weird behaviour... It was a problem with vjoy...

Even though vjoy was configured as a non ffb device, it was still listed in DCS.log as ffb device. And somehow this caused DCS to stop sending ffb commands to more than one VPforce device. Surely some users are using vjoy without problems, but in my case disabling vjoy made my stick/pedals/collective setup work perfectly every time. Could be it was just a screwed up vjoy install, but it annoyed me for sure...

Maybe something to keep in the back of your mind in case others have a similar problem. Cheers, Nobiwan

walmis•6/16/24, 5:46 AM

It's M36x2, the tolerances need to be pretty tight or the nut should be slightly enlarged, since most plastics shrink a bit after printing.

PiNKSH!TOP•6/16/24, 5:57 AM

Ok looking at trying to make this virpil cable fit better to the ww adapter & I've taken the adapter apart & found that the pcb is bent twisted, I take it this happened when twisting the adapter tight? it still works atm. I'll look at gluing it in place maybe, or it might be better now that it can move a bit not & won't have forces on it when twisting the adapter threads tight

yeah I've got the vkb kg-12 v2 & it's ok, feels nice on the Rhino cause it's light but tbh I like the look of this kg-12 & it actually has a push on the hat, I can't believe vkb did a 4 way hat with no push. VKB should do drop in replacements for the side hat on their kg12. 4 way + push, push button, smi flush push button or even just a plain cover.

Panny•6/20/24, 7:11 PM

Have just fitted a VirPil V.F.X grip onto my rhino base. I don't have the axes for the DLC or paddle switch - anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Pickles•6/21/24, 12:02 AM

Do they not show up in game or in the configurator software? If it's just in game than try calibrating in the software. Of it's not showing up in the software than idk.

Pickles•6/21/24, 12:04 AM

My roll axis is grainy/sticky. It feels like there are tiny detents in the motor, or that it feels like a step motor. Either way it's making fine inputs tough. Is there possibly a go to spot to check or possibly lubricate?

Touch_Of_Legend•6/21/24, 9:57 AM

First choose CM2/3 stick. I’m sure the others work like the alpha with its LED’s (but the LED’s don’t work so far as I know)

After that you’ll have the option for the pinky paddle axis.

The axis for the pinky paddle has to be calibrated so click on that and calibrate and done.

Not sure what the DLC is so I’ll allow others to help with that.

Touch_Of_Legend•6/21/24, 10:02 AM

Any creaking or noise or feel from the unit is most likely a loose or loosening screw.

A lot of folks find the screws that hold the grip connector onto the square metal tube can get a bit loose over time because of torsional stresses.

They lift up the leather boot and check the screws.

Also check the pulley screws and remember anything with belt drive will need maintenance eventually as belts either pull the rig in or the belts themselves slack over times.

So don’t forget to every so often check your belt tension.

Outside that those are the fixes for random squeaks, creeks, cricks, and/or wiggles and wobbles.

Good luck and keep up posted!

Not Simhaptic, but openkneeboard. I thought I had uninstalled it (because immediately telemffb stopped working), but as soon as I ctrl+f the log for telemffb, next line under that, was openkneeboard. I found the files in the hook folder. deleted those, and telmffb works again. Thanks for your help.

I'm happy to report that as I suspected, I'm just dumb. I only saw the one set screw on the drive gear, when in fact there was two. Pulling that gear out a few hairs relieved the interference.
