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.

OneillOP•7/10/24, 7:51 PM

I shall try it tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.

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

My preorder is just about ready. Quick question. I'm running Brunner Anti Torque pedals. Is there any issue running the Brunner FFB & the VPForce Software simultaneously?

LeLv30_Superbus•7/11/24, 5:57 PM

Is there 3 screws or just the 2 which are visible without removing the belt? See, the problem not only returned but it spread to X-axis

Too much F-4E lately

I guess?
2 mm is the smallest hex I found, but it's not an L-shape (I think it came with Stecs) and I can't get it inserted properly with the belt on.

Hiob•7/11/24, 6:33 PM

Take the belt off then…

There are multiple holes, but usually you only need one screw, because there is only one flat face on the shaft.

Can I purchase the stoppers separately? I already have the base but now in hindsight I realize I should’ve purchased the stoppers with the base

mark turner•7/11/24, 8:37 PM

Hi, I have a query regarding my newest Rhino ( I have 2) - its only 1 few months old and gets lightly used as a Helo cyclic base only. I have noticed a few times now, it suddenly turns the fans on full blast, when I have not been been using it....like just now, which prompted me. The PC has been sat idle, downloading the Afghanistan map and the update for 3 hours or so and yet suddenly, the fans come on for about 2 minutes full blast...and I have not even used it today! Is this right?

Hiob•7/12/24, 5:09 AM

I would pull up the VP configurator and have a look at the temperatures. The fan should only start if the temp goes above 50 C.
When you have your Rhino powered and for some reason it‘s vibrating (can happen when the gains and low pass filters are mismatched) I could imagine that it will slowly warm up….. but thats very theoretical and probably unlikely

walmis•7/12/24, 5:42 AM

Yeah, I'd check the telemetry output, what are the motor currents at idle? Maybe it's configured to balance a heavy stick/extension, it will def heat up over time.

rockerverb08•7/12/24, 8:01 PM

does anyone else get in-game joystick jittering in DCS when using Periodic Effects? I have to turn the effects down to nearly zero otherwise the in game joystick and subsequent control surfaces (ailerons and elevator) continuously jitter. For reference, I'm using a VKB grib with a small VKB extension (dont think that it matters in this case but I could be dead wrong) and flying the Spitfire.

Stains•7/12/24, 9:40 PM

Mine jitters when I set friction too high. And if I set it way too high, it spazzes out.

walmis•7/13/24, 6:48 AM

No, VPC config software will not work, since the Grips are connected via Rhino firmware

Bob Bushman•7/13/24, 7:13 AM

Big difference between the virpil software and the virpil joystick tester.

The latter works for any joystick even xbx gamepads.
As its just looking for any HID input and display graphs for axes and numbered buttons.

Bob Bushman•7/13/24, 7:15 AM

The former is your actual virpil software which purpose is to flash firmware updstes, calibrate and tweak logical buttons, modifiers etc.

You need to select the grip profile (VPC Alpha?) and calibrate the twist axis in the VP configurator.

bobbyt•7/13/24, 11:43 AM

Just received my notice to place an order. TBH I thought I had another 6 months to ramp up my research on the Rhino, and that is, in part, prompting my question. I am not chatgpt so i have not read and analyzed every post on this discord, so apologies in advance if this can be pieced together with a deeper read (happy to read a couple linked posts if provided in lieu of a response), but I at least know so far that the key differentiator of this product is the software/firmware, so wanted to pose this question here as it has everything to do with ongoing support: In light of the new entrants to the FFB market, what are your plans @walmis and @Number481 regarding providing ongoing support for the rhino and telemffb? if your support stopped today how long could we reasonably expect to be able to use the rhino before a msfs/dcs update destroyed compatability? Are we at a stage where updates/fixes are more QoL than mission critical? Thanks!

walmis•7/13/24, 12:13 PM

Hi, we're not going anywhere - the current firmware is quite mature with more QoL updates are cooking, telemFFB is open source - which in any case community can always make some quick fixes if necessary.

Limitless VR & Simrigs•7/13/24, 1:09 PM

I thought I would chime in also. Mate brilliant questions you asked and actually very relevant. I can perhaps help you get up to speed from just a customers perspective. I am not in anyway affiliated with Walmis or that amazing Rhino. I was however on the waiting list for about 8-9 months and only just received my Rhino about a month ago, I had been following along at every stage of the updates and progression for about 12 month. Researched the heck out of everything I could find on the internet over that period while I waiting. I have nothing but absolute confidence in what they are doing, how far they have come and the stability of the product and the support. My biggest concern honestly now that I have my Rhino, is getting enough time in the rig hahaha.
