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] SerGeantOP•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] SerGeantOP•8/9/24, 8:10 AM

Especially after rebooting the system

[

[OR] SerGeantOP•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

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.

I have the thrustmaster metal grip on a 200mm ext so about as heavy as you can get, lol

142nd_Bama•8/9/24, 5:25 PM

Took some tweaking and more so adapting, for helos though I’ve been overriding the trim and using a beeper trim also

I'm new here
I am about to get vpforce rhino ffb so I want to ask the community if vkb gunfighter mk iv grip works well with vpforce rhino. I read somewhere that vkp grip cannot attached very well to rhino axle and it won't fasten strongly enough and it will suffer from some play during heavy stick forces.
Is that true? I will not use any extensions.
Thank you!

AndyHill•8/10/24, 11:16 AM

I have the older vkb connector, but I don't notice play or any difference between the adapter and the original vkb connector

dgiatr•8/10/24, 12:41 PM

I will not..

dgiatr•8/10/24, 12:42 PM

Mk iv is it heavier than mk iii?

AndyHill•8/10/24, 12:50 PM

no extensions

AndyHill•8/10/24, 12:50 PM

well the adapter is kind of an extension by necessity

Ddgiatr Mk iv is it heavier than mk iii?

Col. Sanders•8/10/24, 2:38 PM

No you will be good with Mk IV. The Revision C connection is really nice. The Rhino adapter Walmis makes is high quality. Just make sure that you don't pinch the cable when installing.

JIGGAwest•8/10/24, 5:00 PM

Ok, I am trying to set the gain map for spring force, but everytime I do, the stick goes wild and the motors shut down. requiring a power cycle to bring them back online. any ideas here?

LeLv30_Superbus•8/10/24, 10:00 PM

Not sure why it is unexpected. Your inertia slider is @ 100% that's kind of extreme

LeLv30_Superbus•8/10/24, 10:00 PM

and friction as well

Number481•8/10/24, 10:01 PM

Your gain curve (in the video) is too extreme. That steep of a rise from center will lead to instability every time. BTW, you can hit the “reset motors” on the debug tab to recover from a motor fault without having to power cycle the Rhino.

Number481•8/10/24, 10:33 PM

The sliders dont really matter unless:
- you enable the corresponding effect in the effects tab (which you don’t)
- a game starts one of those effects (DCS does not use any of those effects)
- you enable the friction/damper/inertia overrides in TelemFFB.

JIGGAwest•8/11/24, 2:34 AM

I can't put any amount of gain in this spring mapping. it goes bonkers regardless of the increase.

Hello , the Joystick VPforce app says "Force Trim Enabled but buttons not configured , using the hp160 helicopter and the hardware trim and msfs trim seem ok ? but that ! mark on msfs symbol and the error message What buttons arn't configured? Cheers. SOLVED : The buttons config in telemffb , not showing up when VP was also opened. closed VP software then was able to see and configure Trim reset and trim release buttons.

Another question guys..
I am left handed ,will I have any problem using vkb gunfighter mk iv MCG?
Is there any modification for left handed people?
Does MCG pro is enough with
Rhino ffb base or it will bent with heavy loads- joystick pulls, should I buy MCG ultimate? I see the last one is much more heavy and I am concerned if I will suffer from
Heavy weight pendulum issues- oscillations while ffb functions in Rhino?
What do you think?
Thanks!

LeLv30_Superbus•8/11/24, 9:36 AM

* Well I'm right handed but if I even glance a picture of MCG it's clear to me that it can't be used with the left hand.

* None that I've seen (or that I can imagine)
* Yes
* No it won't
* No. MCG Ultimate has basically the same parts where the maximum stress is; so it probably breaks at the same load MCG would. I have owned both versions and opened them up. In any case the plastic VKB adapter will always break long before the grip would - which is a good thing because it is easy to replace
* You are right about the significance of grip weight! However, Ultimate is not that heavy; I'm using one with a 10 cm extension right now. With say 20 cm you'd want to use balance spring and ARC and you will notice its higher inertia. RL grips are made light for a reason.

Spelljammer1•8/11/24, 3:23 PM

I will just chime in re: left-handed MCG grip, other replies are already excellent. There is no official way of using the MCG in the left, but if you are really asking about modifications, then sure DIY this is quite plausible. It requires removing the right thumb's thumbstick area, which is electronically possible because of the separate PCB and JST plug. So doable, but not a beginner mod.

Spelljammer1•8/11/24, 3:31 PM

Re: VKB adapter: anybody have issues with it getting stuck?

For me this happened on a Virpil adapter which is metal. Any tips and tricks about unwinding these are welcome

Spelljammer1•8/11/24, 3:32 PM

At first it had some rotation issues, but they were gone after tightening it up. However, so is the ability to detach it

ameister•8/11/24, 4:09 PM

Hi - Newbie here. Yesterday, I plugged in my new Rhino and tried to launch DCS (latest update 2.9.7.58923). Never had any trouble until yesterday. DCS just sits at the "15-Year" screen and won't go any further. When I unplug the Rhino, it launches perfectly fine. So, my hunch is that it has something to do with the way the Rhino is interfacing with DCS. Has anyone seen this and found a solution? I would be very grateful for any guidance. Thanks!
UPDATE: just got a message from DCS support team telling me that it probably has something to do with my Rhino and to make sure that my joystick drivers (Rhino firmware??? - I am already running 1.0.16) are updated and to disable the FFB in the driver settings (shouldn't FFB be ENABLED in DCS Misc menu?)

How many HID devices do you have running?

walmis•8/11/24, 5:28 PM

Probably there's some resource conflict within the OS, hard to tell. I would go unplugging them one by one and see when DCS is able to enumerate the Rhino properly. How about replugging the Rhino USB with DCS running? DCS has hotplug support, it should detect the event and re-enumerate the Rhino.

I did connect it directly to the back of my computer and it now appears to work. Thanks for your quick help.
