What is the standard procedure for when the Rhino is not being used? Do I need to unplug the power cord or can I just simply hit the "E" red button and the motors go to standby mode? What is best for the system?

That is basically the same. The E-button cuts the V+, pulling the cord cuts V+ and V-(aka ground). Either way there isn't a closed electric circuit anymore. However - gun to my head - pulling the plug entirely is always the most safe option.

Hiob•9/17/24, 12:41 PM

Personally I use a switched outlet/extension.

kaltokri•9/17/24, 1:44 PM

I use also a switchable socket outlet and switch off the power of all my devices in the simrig.
It will save energy and I have a better feeling.

I wish to cancel the orders, how can it be done?

There are two JST-XH 3pin headers for analog pots and a 5pin JST-XH for the grip connection. All button inputs come through the grip. If you have a supported grip that has analog axes it will come through on the 5pin grip connector.

Arew•9/19/24, 2:30 AM

Update on this, it's happening pretty regularly now, at least every other flight. Tonight it just went full back stick for no reason. I've reset Configurator midflight hoping that would fix it and it doesn't. Trim will work until I let go and it just goes back to full direction it's leaning.

Arew•9/19/24, 2:32 AM

Pretty frustrating because I don't fly very often anymore and over 50% of my flights are getting interupted by the motors just pulling left and now apparently back for seemingly no reason.

Arew•9/19/24, 2:42 AM

Pretty much every flight is on multiplayer server if that helps, but its almost always with someone else who has a Rhino and it's not happening to them.

Arew•9/19/24, 2:42 AM

Not really sure how to record data for this

Arew•9/19/24, 2:45 AM

In the joystick indicator, the blue circle will be full whatever direction it's leaning. Debug doesn't show anything.

Number481•9/19/24, 3:10 AM

- Shouldn't be anything in TelemFFB that would do this, but verify it occurs without it running just to be sure
- Verify there's only one Spring effect in the Debug tab "Loaded effects" tab. I've never seen the DCS generated one be anything other than ID:5ID:5.

The only 2 things that can make the center offset change for the spring effect that DCS starts:
- The sim itself (trim for example)
- The "override trim" feature in the configurator effects tab

I’d also try to verify it is/isn’t the in game trim. Does the 14 have trim position indicators in the cockpit? Have you verified they are neutral (or where they should be) when this happens?

Arew•9/19/24, 3:29 AM

I'm actually not sure I guess, another thing to check out

Arew•9/19/24, 3:29 AM

Glad to have some troubleshooting direction

Hiob•9/19/24, 8:05 AM

How do you guys set up your Rhino for MSFS? I'm not talking about TelemFFB-Effects, but the Rhino-VP-Config and MSFS itself. I'm trying to figure out if it is actually better to just setup Spring/Friction/Inertia to feel "good" and then make it sticky. The MSFS-FFB seem to be really lackluster. Or am I missing an important setting inside the Sim? And how do you keep it with the special settings for the controls like "reactivity'" for example. I'm really a total noob when it comes to MSFS......

walmis•9/19/24, 8:14 AM

TelemFFB fully simulates the missing dynamic spring forces in MSFS

Wwalmis TelemFFB fully simulates the missing dynamic spring forces in MSFS

Hiob•9/19/24, 8:16 AM

So what is the suggested settings for VP config then? Just leave it on my DCS-"defaults"?

walmis•9/19/24, 8:26 AM

Yeah, defaults should be fine. Since telemFFB takes control of the spring forces.

kaltokri•9/19/24, 8:34 AM

Did someone use already the software "Axis and Ohs" for MSFS together with a Rhino? Does it work together? It looks really good to me.

is this normal for pedals? (spring effect is greyed out, it repeats ID:1 and ID:5) and constant is greyed out. No game is running just the configurator.
