NThanks. I am waiting for a new firmware. I already asked Walmis to include my grip support.
HYeah, me too. For the support of custom fan control.
SHey everybody,
Since weeks now, I don't understand why my Rhino self disconnects while I'm holding it about 3/5 seconds during a hard corner while in Dogfight on IL-2 or DCS.

SIt's very disapointing.
KWhat is your amps settings in the configurator?
CThat is not normal. Most likely a setting issue. Also what do you have to do to recover the ffb?
HCheck the telemetry in the VP configurator while holding the G and see if the Amps exceed the set Amps, if so you need to reduce the spring force a bit. When you overpower the max strength of the motor (which is easy with the wrong settings) it will quit and need resetting.
HBasically you want settings, that do not exceed the maximal amps when you pull maximum deflection with a given spring setting.

Smy actual settings
HSpring 100 is too much probably. I drive mine at 75 or something (at most). However the interesting part is the telemetry left of what is depicted in your screenshot.
CWow that is some serious spring gain.
BSpring is usually overriden by pot 1.
Its at 100 for me as well but the pot is at 40%

BBut that part is cropped out from the screenshot
HWithout seeing the actual telemetry it's all guesswork
H@Subtile The math goes master gain x spring gain x poti (if set to spring). The result shouldn't be any higher than 70-80%, otherwise you will reach max amps before you reach max deflection - and this is the cause of the tilt out.
HYou could also increase the max motor current to 30A. Your motors will heat up slightly faster under max load though. -> earlier engagement of the fan.
ASpring gain is most likely not the reason for the disconnects (I assume by disconnects you mean it does that beep and it turns off the motors forcing you to cycle the emergency switch).
The problem is most likely one of the lpf settings in conjunction with other effects

SOk, I'll try some parameters
AWhat are your effect settings? Perhaps a screenshot of those
A(Also do you have an extension?)
S
Sactually it still "tilts"
HEffects gains are only relevant when the sim doesn’t provide own ffb or when made sticky. And they can‘t increase the max strength beyond the master settings.
S
HEverything apart spring isn’t even activated.
I don’t see something suspicious at first glance tbh….

WCan you elaborate "self disconnect" does it give a long beep or there's a USB reconnection event?
WOr short beeps ?
Ssame as the kill switch operation
WSo it gives short beeps and then reverts to normal operation?
WProbably would be helpful to capture the log text in the Debug tab when that happens
SI'm catching some logs right now with a try in IL-2GB
Sto send here
HMaybe a loose connection at the power switch?
SI'll try tomorrow then send you logs here
AYes but depending the game, maybe he cranked friction up which is notoriously unstable and games generally won’t override it

Pusually diagonals are actually two switches combined and require the firmware to note that two switches are depressed e.g N & W for the NW diagonal. Perhaps that routine is missing in the vpforce firmware?
S
SAnyone know why my master gain, periodic effects etc might be repeatedly resetting themselves to 0%?
S
TDo you have a sim running?
SYes, DCS - Hind flight. TelemFFB is on
S
TStick should go limp when DCS starts and come alive when loading a module. If not, try without TelemFFB and see if it still does the same.
SIt does seem to come alive, but strangely there appear to be no spring effects whatsoever unless I tick "Override DCS Spring" on TelemFFB
SFound the issue - I'm an idiot! Didn't realise I didn't have the "Force Trim" setting in DCS settings checked 
sorry for the false alarm folks

G@walmis my reservation ticket has been called, but unfortunately I can't proceed at this time due to other factors, but I have another party interested in taking my slot. Can I just give them the Order Request form and change the contact details?
WYeah, go ahead
Phey guys when running il2 what % should I set the constant & periodic effects too in config app? I have them both at 50% for dcs atm
NFor the TelemFFB effects, its all still based around %50 for periodic and %100 for constant. However, unless its changed recently, the native effects for buffeting, runway rumble and weapons are extremely anemic and lead to very little feedback which is why there are duplicate effects written in TelemFFB.
