Effects 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.

Everything apart spring isn’t even activated.
I don’t see something suspicious at first glance tbh….

SSubtile Hey everybody, Since weeks now, I don't understand why my Rhino self disconnects...

walmis•8/29/24, 5:52 PM

Can you elaborate "self disconnect" does it give a long beep or there's a USB reconnection event?

walmis•8/29/24, 5:53 PM

Or short beeps ?

Subtile•8/29/24, 5:53 PM

same as the kill switch operation

walmis•8/29/24, 5:54 PM

So it gives short beeps and then reverts to normal operation?

walmis•8/29/24, 5:54 PM

Probably would be helpful to capture the log text in the Debug tab when that happens

Subtile•8/29/24, 5:57 PM

I'm catching some logs right now with a try in IL-2GB

Subtile•8/29/24, 5:57 PM

to send here

HiobOP•8/29/24, 6:09 PM

Maybe a loose connection at the power switch?

Subtile•8/29/24, 6:12 PM

I'll try tomorrow then send you logs here

Prometheus [Prom]•8/29/24, 8:18 PM

usually 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?

Scavenger•8/29/24, 8:33 PM

Scavenger•8/29/24, 8:33 PM

Anyone know why my master gain, periodic effects etc might be repeatedly resetting themselves to 0%?

Scavenger•8/29/24, 8:34 PM

TheAmazinGreat•8/29/24, 8:38 PM

Do you have a sim running?

Scavenger•8/29/24, 8:39 PM

Yes, DCS - Hind flight. TelemFFB is on

Scavenger•8/29/24, 8:41 PM

TheAmazinGreat•8/29/24, 8:41 PM

Stick 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.

Scavenger•8/29/24, 8:43 PM

It does seem to come alive, but strangely there appear to be no spring effects whatsoever unless I tick "Override DCS Spring" on TelemFFB

Scavenger•8/29/24, 9:17 PM

Found 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

@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?

Yeah, go ahead

PiNKSH!T•8/30/24, 11:42 AM

hey 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

Number481•8/30/24, 11:51 AM

For 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.

Matei•8/30/24, 3:00 PM

yea but in a dogfight you are putting constant force on the stick

Matei•8/30/24, 3:00 PM

and I was wondering about the amperage

MMatei and I was wondering about the amperage

HiobOP•8/30/24, 4:25 PM

Depends on your settings. The motors can pull up to 30 amps (rated 36 amps, but some safety margin is good advise). They heat up rather quickly (1K every other second or so under full load) until the fan kicks in and slows down the heat buildup. (Or stops it depending on the FAN and the amount of amps pulled).

HiobOP•8/30/24, 4:25 PM

Don’t confuse the motor amps with the amps drawn from the PSU though. They are not the same.

peteg•8/31/24, 3:32 AM

Hi my vpforce seems to be loose. I’ve confirmed that this sound is the vpforce and not the stick. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Unscrew the dust cover, tighten all the screws etc that you can see without taking it apart.

HiobOP•8/31/24, 7:00 AM

Annoying micro movements or sounds that I found (and fixed) so far was: Loose screws on the stick extension, wide tolerances at the stick connector which I fixed with some tape and loctide, a crappy shaft connector on my TM grip which I fixed with some 3D printed wedges and last but not least, a loose pulley on the motor side, which needed some loctide for the screw.

HiobOP•8/31/24, 7:03 AM

see if you can stop or produce the sound by moving the belt pulleys by hand (with and without holding tight on the stick). Before you open the Rhino check that the small pulleys sit tight on the motoraxis‘ without play,

amadeus•8/31/24, 7:15 AM

just be careful about overtightening

Henning Piez•8/31/24, 9:14 AM

Mine does the same. I belive it is the 5mm washer that has the wrong Height to compensate the difference. I Ordered 0.1mm washers to adjust perfectly....

Henning Piez•8/31/24, 9:15 AM

that Picture was without washer, my washer was to thick, so after installing the other sides had the level difference

Wwalmis So it gives short beeps and then reverts to normal operation?

it was during a positive G pitch break cornering, on IL-2 GB

Fr4Ged•8/31/24, 1:22 PM

have you tried changing the settings as in getting rid of inertia and friction for example?

HiobOP•8/31/24, 1:47 PM

As I said previously. Spring setting 100%, coupled with those high settings for friction and damping etc. will most likely hit the max amp treshold. Would be interesting what the curr x and curr y values look like just before the cutoff.

walmis•8/31/24, 3:38 PM

Hmm, interesting. Can you cause this problem by just pulling the stick without a sim running?
