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

PThanks for the help everyone! This was a pretty easy fix. These screws had loosened over time.
Syes, I just tried now, indeed I can.

SI have trouble with the configurator tool. It does not recognize the device. Every other software is kind of working, but not FFB Configurator. I have removed and/or uninstalled the devicee from device manager several times. I tried on all 6 USB ports the Computer has and also with and without usage of a powered USB Hub. Did a couple of cold boots also. Nothing helps. No I'm out of ideas somehow. On my laptop the joystick is working smothely.
SOK - issue found: I'm using a HF8 buttkicker from Next Level Racing. As soon as I disconnected her every thing starts working smothely... Seems like they are using a similar USB controller.

Pjust as an fyi, got my winwing adaptor back and my 8 way hat works fine and is seens as an 8 way hat, without making any changes to the settings…..perhaps I just got lucky 
other hats are buttons but thats fine too, of course

HSimhub too scans com ports and make any other com based parts broken.
HYou need to define which COM ports shouldn’t be scanned
RHello, my Rhino isnt detecting any button presses of the warthog joystick anymore. Ive tried the joystick on the original warthog base and DCS detects all buttons but on the Rhino it goes silent.... The Rhino base is responding when there are axis inputs. FYI it went silent mid flight.
HI would assume, either the cable (to the grip connector) broke, or more likely, the cable detached from the socket-mini pcb that is inside the stick connector. I would dismount the grip (+ extensions). Then you can unscrew the socket inside the grip connector and take it out. On the backside there is a cable plugged in (or isn’t anymore). You can just pull out the cable with a pair of pliers and plug it back in.
Unless somebody else has a better idea that is!

WYeah, good call @Hiob, I'd check the the stick connector, maybe the mini socket has disconnected. I'd also lift the leather holder frame, since it's easier to feed the cable into the tube.
Rindeed good call... the cable from the mini socket was obstructed so the tension slowly made it disconnect. I pulled on the cable thinking there would be a few cm extra for good mesure and applied pressure on the connector.. next thing you know the inputs started getting detected again. Thanks for the support.
Shey there Walmis, did you see my screens from the logs? Maybe some ideas about my problem ? Thanks a lot
GSo I’ve got an issue I can’t figure out. My base seems to be centered in a stick down orientation. I’ve run the auto calibrate a few times and every time it is centering where in shows in this cell pic. Ideas?
XDid you "apply settings" after calibration ?
WIt works as it should. A game has set the trim center to that location as indicated by the blue circle.
GAh ok is there a way to adjust that? I’m in DCS. Feel like I’m flying with a very constant back pressure even when I try and trim it out.
GThis is in the F4 btw
GAlso, DCS was not like this before today. It was perfectly centered. I used a AH-64 profile in here which really seems to fly nicely in the Apache. But after going back to any of my fast jet profiles the trim center is off in the stick forward orientation
WDepends on the aircraft and special settings in DCS... A-10C, F-5 modules have trim displacement forwards for example.

GOk I’ll try and find it thanks. It’s just odd since I never changed any settings in DCS. Just was making adjustments in Configurator and Telemffb
HAre we talking woth this offset trim while DCS is running or not? I'm a bit confused. When you want to calibrate the hardware, neither DCS or TelemFFB should be running. Just the configurator. From there, after calibrating -> applying -> saving, the stick should be perfectly centered.
HThen - inside DCS, it depends very much on the airframe. Most old school jets have the stick trimmed forward for level flight at cruising+ speeds. That's normal. Same for Helicopters of course.
HMaybe you confuse the old "non-FFB" return to center trim in the sim, but that was only a work-around for spring centered, non-FFB-Joysticks.
HBasically, for classic joysticks, the logical (simulated) stick position was detached from the physical stick position. That being no longer necessary is one of the perks of FFB sticks.
Hwhat does "FBB_Remove Effect" Mean in the Debug Screen?
WIt's when a game or telemFFB destroys an FFB effect
Hso no reason to worry of to trobleshoot?
TIt’s modeling real life behavior of jets. There is less forward travel because negative G maneuvers are frowned upon. So there is more positive G travel to “roll and pull”.
KAs I understand it, it's frowned upon by everyone who has ever tried a lot of negative G's.
GI get that but I somehow messed this up. I know that you need to trim forward travel. I did run the calibrate with Telemffb and DCS on so maybe that's how i messed it up. I could always do that with my Virpil base. I'm just trying to figure out how in the heck I can undo this because even with DCS and Telemffb turned off it's still trying to give me that trim center blue circle way forward which is totally wrong. Is there anyway I can just reset everything?
Ndid you inadvertently change the center point using the hardware trim feature? What happens if you press the bound (or bind and press) the reset button?
GThat was it! Thank You!!!

CI think I messed up my rhino. When I was moving it on its mount. I dropped it, not very far but it hit hard. When I fly and the buffeting effect turns on it bucks hard and feels out of balance. I had not changed any settings. Tried turning the buffeting effect way down and as long as it turns on it causes the issue.
CI have taken the top off and the gimble looks fine and I can't see anything obvious. I'm hesitant to tear it down further. Without knowing what I am looking for.
CAlso found this tip broke.

CThe plastic ring on the inside broke. So it looks like I need a new power supply. Any recommendations for the US?
WNo need to replace the whole power supply (e-waste and all), you can replace only the jack: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=5.5+2.5+dc+plug
Amazon.com: 5.5 2.5 dc plug
CI will look into this. Any ideas on the buffeting issues?
HEverything else feels normal? No grinding, no cracking noises etc. ? Can’t think of a reason why only one certain effect could cause issues….. Checked the settings? (in config and telem!)
HTelemffb needs an Config file to use the settings.... In the Settings Page I selected a standard profile that should be loaded at startup.... But.... When starting the sim, the stick is passiv... only acts like a spring / Damper.... If I select / load the same profile in the planes dialog the stick comes alive... why?
NI don't fully understand what you are asking. You don't say the sim, but I'll assume DCS.
Taking TelemFFB out of the equation here (all it's doing is pushing a saved profile to the joystick)....
DCS "takes over" the spring effect during startup, this is why your stick goes limp when the sim is loading. It takes ownership of the spring effect and sets the gain to 0.
When you load into an aircraft, the FFB implementation for that aircraft will set the gain of the effect to whatever it should be based on the phase of flight you load into.
When you exit back out to the main menu, the stick generally goes back to a springless state.
