sorry for changing orders but I found that shipping method is changed to lp express from fedex prior
sorry for changing orders but I found that shipping method is changed to lp express from fedex priority. is it fast enough?
WIt's a bit slower than FedEx, ~7 days, if you wish I can quote FedEx, but its price is about twice.
Pgot it, paid already.
Psince another parts will be arrived 7-10days after, might be okay.
KI love my Rhino, but in DCS when flying A-10CII it reacts weird. In normal flight it pulls upwards all the time.
At full speed I have to trim down at maximum. I don't have this in F/A-18C & F-16C.
With the Virpil Base it is working fine.
I know it is intended to have this forward offset. But this trim issue makes the combination of Rhino + A-10CII unuseable.
Can I change the behaviour somehow?

KA friend of mine has the same problem in the A-10C.
KThere seems to be a strange interaction between the axis curve setting in DCS and force feedback.
If I set the curve setting of the axes on the A-10C in DCS to 0, it will no longer pull upwards.
I usually fly with a curvature of 20 - 25, which helps a lot for Air to Air refueling.
I had a very similar effect in the KA50 when trimming. It always seems to occur when the axis is shifted in the neutral position.

N@Hiob i've intentionally set my Y axis belt tension almost as low as it can go (motor closer to pulley) without losing grip. It does help make the grinding less noticeable at the grip, but at the belt it is about the same and belt tension cannot solve the issue completely.
NUnfortunately I did not read, and Amazon said next thursday for the belts, not this thursday 
so back into downtime the rhino goes

NThanks a lot for your clear explanation. Now I can setup my own configuration.
SI think you want to have all your Rhinos axis curves at zero in DCS. Adjustments should be made in the Rhino software. Any adjustments in DCS will mess with the FFB.
KSure. But the FFB Software does not have curves atm. I hope it will be implemented: https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/1098318539426889799
HI doubt that different belts or pulleys will solve the problem if I‘m honest.
Hsure it does…..?? you can set custom gain and strength curves in the configurator!
Nmaybe i'm just being optimistic here. But if it's not the belts or the pulley sizing on either end then that leaves me with 0 alternative explanations
Nunless it's to say that vpforce motors are not capable of running up to even 60% of max spring force. Which I somehow feel isn't the case, judging from what others are running here
Nand pulley sizing also doesn't make much sense, unless every single person following protomaker/gadroc just never uses spring force past 50% ever
Noptimism is pretty much all I have at this point. I can't keep sinking time and money into this thing if there aren't even potential solutions I can pursue
WHave you tried spraying some silicone lube where the belt meshes with the pulley?
WMost likely the WarBrd grip plug pin(s) doesn't reach and make contact in the Rhino socket, have you pushed all the way in? Let me know if this persists, I can send you a replacement socket.
AYes - really extended out of the grip and pushed fully home. Same with a RealSimulator grip
AIts the second WarBrd grip too
Wso the TM grip works, but others not?
Ni don't have spray, but I have some superlube. Should I try putting a little on? But I thought the belt was not supposed to slip on the pulley, would that not exacerbate it
Wif it's silicone based then ok. Don't worry, with the correct tension lube wouldn't cause any issues.
Nwhat I have is just a tube of superlube 92003. It's advertised as silicone lubricating grease. Sounds like it would work?
HYou can also move the center point by altering the calibration values. I don't know what exactly you want to achieve, but I'm confident that it can somehow be achieved with the configurator.
HYou have new belts and pulley incoming anyway - so I would give it a try if I was you.
NI put some on the pulley and spread it around a bit. Didn't make any difference.
HJust a thought - how much current draw does the motor show when the grinding occurs?
WFrom the video, it definitely sounds like a belt/pulley meshing
Ncurr_x and curr_y?
Nthat is the idea, but I'm not sure where I would go from there. To a different tooth # motor pulley? I'm just following what @Subsonic (Protomaker) 's guide prescribes. afaik no one else following that guide has dealt with this before. The other gimbal creaking type issues I can find plenty of troubleshooting solutions for, but not this belt issue
WAs a last ditch effort I can supply you an original Rhino pulley
Ncould you just send me a spec page/size spec for it? just to double check
Ncurr_y goes up to about 17A at max deflection, + and - in either direction, no weird behaviour
Hthen you are certainly not overstressing the Rhino.
Nyes, on walmis' recommendation earlier I tried turning the motor+pulley by itself and everything was smooth
Nmight be gimbal related as well since I know this one is particularly bad and it's going to be rebuilt with some new parts next week. Might not be out of the question that vibrations are starting inside and traveling out to the belt via 74t pulley
HSorry, if this is a dumb question, or was answered earlier - are you 100% positive that you have the right belt and pulley specs? regarding tooth profile and so on?
Nit is most significant at the belt but that makes sense
Nyes, I've double checked with the guide, other people who built, and david's own rhino
N74t pulley, motor pulley and belt spec are correct, I now have 4 motor pulleys i've mix n matched at will
HHTD5 on both sides?
Nyes
Hok! sorry - better safe than sorry
WWe machine those pulleys in-house, it's based on the HTD5M spec
N15mm width, 12 tooth, 8mm bore? well, width depending on the belt of course
Wofficial Rhino belts are 10mm, 12T pulleys
