I bought a motor for pedals and I've connected the usb and communications line from the motor to the controller card and plugged in power and usb. I'm connected based on the message at the bottom of the screen, but I dont see any position information coming from the motor. I must be missing something...any ideas?

I think most people use some kind of extension, which in most cases can be rotated freely. Also with a center stick you usually want the grip in an angle towards your right hand to have an ergonomic wrist position. Of course I can’t tell how it works out for your needs, The only solution I can suggest is some kind of extension.

PokePoke•7/10/24, 9:34 AM

Okay. is it normal? or mis printed?

PokePoke•7/10/24, 9:37 AM

i think is too much off centered

PokePoke•7/10/24, 9:38 AM

if all guys have like this, I am okay.

PPokePoke if all guys have like this, I am okay.

Kowalsky•7/10/24, 9:58 AM

Yes, this is correct angle for a center mount.

On my Rhino, it's the same as yours. But you can turn your stick to suit your needs. In any case, validated with my Virpil Alpha.

is it right?

The gimbal arm sides with the nuts in them must be on the faces with the motors and the cable outlet should face towards where the PCB is mounted.

PokePoke•7/10/24, 12:08 PM

got it.

PokePoke•7/10/24, 12:28 PM

PokePoke•7/10/24, 12:28 PM

it is so hard, is it correct side?

PokePoke•7/10/24, 12:47 PM

ok I will fix them all again

PokePoke•7/10/24, 12:47 PM

because it is actually 180 turn

PPokePoke ok I will fix them all again

Touch_Of_Legend•7/10/24, 4:52 PM

Yep I have some pics that show but you must be careful with the orientation of the slot in the gimbal

You’ll get it the best part of DIY is that it doesn’t matter if it goes wrong you just take it apart and fix it.

DIY is forever basically because when you build it… you can rebuild it!

Touch_Of_Legend•7/10/24, 4:55 PM

Yep this is correct you can see in the pic above the correct orientation and yep this is correct how you said it.

Oneill•7/10/24, 7:13 PM

Any idea how to sort this. I’ve deleted all of my button settings. I’ve just downloaded some profile for it, but it’s not got anything other than the stick being central.

Oneill•7/10/24, 7:33 PM

It’s the flight design , I’ve got my FFB rudder pedals , keyboard, V3 motion rig, warthog throttle and the PICO.
It doesn’t do it if I remove the stick and plug the stick base in.

smitty•7/10/24, 7:35 PM

you mean the grip itself?

It worked fine before I had the Rhino.

Oneill•7/10/24, 7:45 PM

I’m out now, to be honest I don’t even know what telemffb is, I was hoping that it was just plug and play for the money.
Thanks for trying to help but I’m going to have to pay someone to do it for me.

smitty•7/10/24, 7:48 PM

telemffb is required for it to do anything in msfs. download this and install. https://vpforcecontrols.com/downloads/TelemFFB/VPforce-TelemFFB-20240705.zip
run it when running msfs. remove ANY axis (pitch roll rudder) binding in msfs.

I shall try it tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.

Touch_Of_Legend•7/10/24, 9:38 PM

The VP Force configurator is a “set up, calibrate, and Keybinds” software.

It does control the main effects but they are generalized.

Telemffb is the software you set the various effects “per game” and “per module”.

So you tell Telemffb you’re playing DCS and it pulls info from DCS while it’s running and using that data it produces “effects” that you can set the strength and intensity of.

Telem saves the profile and now everytime you fire up DCS and jump in the Jug (p-47) the screen on Telem says “DCS” and says what module your flying “p47” and it will play the effects, at the intensity, you previously set OR that are just streaming in from DCS.

I assume it’s somewhat similar for MSFS but I haven’t tried the Rhino with MSFS.

Others for sure have so it works I’m just trying to explain what and why you want to use both the configurator AND Telem and keep them both open while you play.

(Minimize them or whatever)

smitty•7/10/24, 10:02 PM

no need to keep configurator open.

amadeus•7/10/24, 11:31 PM

+1 to what smitty said (and also -- the configurator is only the calibration/firmware settings app, it does NOT provide any effects, only allows you to set limits/calibrations/gain maps/firmware level button configurations. It does not need to be running as its settings gets stored into the device, assuming you press Store Settings, a 2nd step after using Apply Settings). Also MSFS is very different than DCS because MSFS does NOT have native FFB support. It only works through TelemFFB, but also has some setup/requirements steps (definitely refer to the TelemFFB manual for setting this up, if you're not very savvy with computers and hardware, MSFS is the hard mode relative to DCS and IL2 for force feedback)

Touch_Of_Legend•7/11/24, 12:05 AM

Nope it doesn’t provide the effects but it controls them.

If you turn them off in the config they don’t exist for Telem

Same as the pots will override whatever other settings you use.

For me I always run it all but I’m also ALWAYS messing with something… like I’m never ever set up I feel like lol

Touch_Of_Legend•7/11/24, 12:15 AM

If MSFS is hard mode for FFB I don’t know if I could even handle it hahaha

DCS and all the various gear and programs is already A LOT to handle for this old guy

smitty•7/11/24, 1:24 AM

eh, i dont know if its "hard mode", but telemffb is certainly doing a lot more work behind the scenes with msfs
