Having an issue where the buttons on my joystick aren't being registered correctly by the VP configu

Having an issue where the buttons on my joystick aren't being registered correctly by the VP configurator. Some buttons are just not registered and others are registering as two buttons. The button mapping tab doesn't make a lot of sense to me, does anyone know what might be going on?

Grip model and what have you selected here please?

Using a Virpil constellation and I have that selected @Fourgrinder

How many buttons does that grip have? I have Realsimulator grips (F16 and F18), and they only register 32 buttons and not the full 64ish

NikoOP•8/7/24, 4:52 PM

It has 32

NikoOP•8/7/24, 4:54 PM

The issue is only happening with hats and the scroll wheel on the stick. The regular buttons are working fine

Can you activate the "Debug" grip profile and screenshot the info printed in the Debug tab, I'll check whether Virpil has made a new revision or something.

walmis•8/7/24, 5:06 PM

Also a video of the problem would be helpful

NikoOP•8/7/24, 5:12 PM

@walmis The video is me pushing each direction and then depressing one of the hats

walmis•8/7/24, 5:19 PM

Interesting, it looks like another revision

walmis•8/7/24, 5:19 PM

Is it the Prime?

NikoOP•8/7/24, 5:19 PM

Yeah

walmis•8/7/24, 5:19 PM

L/R handed version ?

NikoOP•8/7/24, 5:20 PM

This one's the left

walmis•8/7/24, 5:20 PM

ah, makes sense

NikoOP•8/7/24, 5:21 PM

I unfortunately bent the pins on my normal right handed stick so a new one's in the mail. So the left handed version is the issue then?

walmis•8/7/24, 5:35 PM

Yeah, the Right handed one should work fine. I'll attempt fix the LH for the next firmware release.

NikoOP•8/7/24, 5:36 PM

Oh okay. Thank you for the explanation anyways!

Major_Fault•8/7/24, 10:32 PM

Sorry newbie question prolly.
I connect my Rhino via usb, it gets dicovered I can launch the WebUSB tool.
When I try to launch the FFB configurator, because I want to set up my Constellation Alpha grip and to swap axis, the configurator does not dicover (and shows USB disconnected (tested 4 ports on my puter plus a hub),
SO I guess I am doing something wrong )web usb tool shows me Device FW v.1.0.16. / Running win 10. The webtool detects the axis Input. As does the usb game controller tool of win10.

mattback•8/8/24, 1:19 AM

you might want to try running as administrator

Major_Fault•8/8/24, 10:58 AM

Okay I tried different things and got a strange USBlib Transfer error in between. Admin privileges didn't help.
But a restart after a winupdate did. Now all works as I intended ! ... sometimes all I can do is wonder.

Possibly a WinUsb driver problem - try this: 🧰support

Or did Windows update do it for you already?

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:02 AM

Hey crew, all of a sudden my stick is contantly vibrating. I have read through others mention of this however nothing seems to fix it. Tried loading defaults, changing profiles. The only thing that seems to work is turning either the Master gain to 0 or the Periodic effects to 0. Any suggestions?

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:04 AM

Go to the debug window. There you can see if it is an effect or a bug.

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:05 AM

Not sure what to look for?

walmis•8/9/24, 8:05 AM

Could be a lingering effect, restarting DCS should fix it. Or you can reset all effects via TelemFFB menu

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:06 AM

Hmm ok, I tried a full power cycle of the PC a few times, would this not clear it?

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:06 AM

I was pushing some TFFB in DCS earlier.

You restart the pc and as soon as the rhino starts up, it is constantly vibrating?

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:07 AM

That is exactly whats happening.

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:09 AM

Ill try firing up DCS, starting TFFB and resetting the effects to see if that has any affect.

[

[OR] SerGeant•8/9/24, 8:10 AM

It shouldn’t. If TFFB and DCS are not running there should be no effect on the rhino.

[

[OR] SerGeant•8/9/24, 8:10 AM

Especially after rebooting the system

[

[OR] SerGeant•8/9/24, 8:10 AM

But give it a try

LLimitless VR & Simrigs I was pushing some TFFB in DCS earlier.

LeLv30_Superbus•8/9/24, 8:19 AM

Do this in TelemFFB

[[OR] SerGeant Especially after rebooting the system

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:19 AM

Walmis was bang on, Yep, some how the effects had stuck and committed to the unit. Even after a reboot and zero software running it was vibrating constantly. Firing up DCS, and loading a module fixed it.

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:20 AM

Thanks all for the blazing fast assistance

[OR] SerGeant•8/9/24, 8:21 AM

Oh Crazy, never happened to me ever

Good to know!

Limitless VR & Simrigs•8/9/24, 8:21 AM

Yea I was pulling my hair out, totally strange however, this crew shines once again

Reed•8/9/24, 4:52 PM

What kind of curve in the vpforce software would allow a higher spring force in the center and taper off as you move the stick away from center. Say when trimmed flying helo with force trim enable in dcs or override. Or is this better accomplished with saturation

142nd_Bama•8/9/24, 5:08 PM

You do not have to sticky it for the gain to work, I do this as well but with a steeper curve

Reed•8/9/24, 5:15 PM

Cool. What extension and grip are you using and what aircraft. I’m already using balance spring and adaptive recentering. However there is still some slop I want to tighten up completed how the real aircraft I’ve flown compares. Thanks.
