Pinions on Rudder and Collective were loose the same time 😟
Pinions on Rudder and Collective were loose the same time 
HWhen Power was of, the cogging was on the complete travel, so I thought the pinions are ok...
NIt happens
Hsee 
that was an educated guess from experience!
that was an educated guess from experience!H20 Years of being a field service engineer teached me to be sceptical when an error is the same on two units.... But it learned me also never trust new spare parts.... even after changing two times , both spare parts can be broken :-9
Ithere's a "force feedback" checkbox in dcs, if that's what you mean. I tried both f-18 and f-16. The strange thing is that sometimes the pitch axis does work, without any changes to anything.
HThe Rhino is first a machine designed to shake itself apart and second a fun input device. 
The loose pinion gear wasn’t the last thing I had to retighten and fixate with loctide.

HOk, Now I understand the name "joystick" 
BI mounted a couple of transducers to a recliner once for movie watching.
It was potent but cheap kit, it could make the 80lbs chair rattle across the floor like an old nokia phone would across a glass table.
With my 200lbs butt sitting in it.
And the chair was just shaken beyond function in a matter of months.

CHey all, I'm new to this joystick and having issues with the AH64. When I force trim it snaps the stick almost all the way to the right. I have the special settings to INSTANT TRIM and the pedals to WITHOUT SPRINGS AND FFB
CAh I figured it out. The "swap axis" box was checked, which inhibited it form working.
NAs a rule, to ensure a proper experience:
- Make sure the axes directions are set correctly in configurator such that the position dot follow the stick inputs correctly. This ensures that “FFB direction” and “axis direction” are in sync.
- don’t use curves in DCS axis settings
- don’t use saturation in DCS axis settings
HG'day @walmis , unfortunately my WinWing adapter snapped at the threaded collar.
Could you let me know how to get another or if there's an stl I can try to print a replacement.
#VPF-0702
Cheers.

P@walmis sorry to ping you, but just about to use my rhino in a dcs op first time since the recalibration you did. Is it ok for me to import & apply old config profiles or will that break the new calibration you did on the x motor?
HI don't know of course what Walmis did with your motor, but in general the auto calibration in the VP config is supposed to be a user level exercise that can (and must) be performed whenever you change something, like installing a throw limiter, change or re-tighten the belts etc.
So I think it is save to say, that you certainly won't break anything if you do a calibration. Just look at the monitor in the config tab and see if everything is properly centered. Otherwise do a calibration.

PNah walmis did some sort of motor recalibration. It all looked like ancient runes & magic to me 
HI think that is saved on a deep firmware level and not affected by user profiles.
Pawesome, thanks for your help m8
ZStupid question. Are the PC fans required for VPForce 5V or 12V.
HBeauty, cheers mate!
H12V
ZThanks
Ai've had this re-calibration done as well. nothing you do with the configurator will have an effect on this, so you're good to go
Pcheers m8, good to know
RWhy are users needing or getting a motor recalibration and how would I know if I need it?
HWhen you don't know if you need it - you don't need it.
HSometimes the motors act up - and Walmis can usually fix that remotely - but if you don't encounter any problems. Don't worry.
OAny idea what the the wait time is going to be like for Virpil FLNKR compatibility?
WI have one on order, so once I get it should be quick
OCool, thanks
OReceived my Rhino today
OHope to find time to DIY the mount and get it going.
FAnyone ever had this issue with the 86 motors with adaptive recentering overshooting and not being able to find the center? Once it starts it won't stop unless it's completely shut down or recalibrated or sometimes I have to put the stick dead center and hold it for a few seconds and this only stops it temporarily. After some use it comes back. Luckily when using a game with TelemFFB on this issue goes away and works as expected. Once the sim is closed and TelemFFB is not in use it comes back. Since I always use TelemFFB this isn't an issue. Just annoying haha.
FHSounds as if you dampening is to low. Try to adjust the adaptive dampening (right side of the settings screen). Spring proportional dampening or smething like that it is called…..
FSpring strength proportional dampening is at 100%. This issue doesn't happen all the time and TelemFFB fixes it when running and in use.
FI've only been able to recreate it semi consistently by bumping the stick lightly a few times to where the position is just to the edge of the centering circle in the screen. Then when it tries to center it it overshoots the center and that behavior starts.
RAre you using hard limiter or software limiters. WHen is the last time you calibrated? THis is very interesting.
FFHere is a video of me recreating it. It works just fine until I do the light jumping then the oscillation grows gradually until it reaches the maximum shown in my first video. No software limiters.
RWhat is your static force or balance spring set at if using?
F
FSettings and you can see the maximum oscillation to the left of the centering circle.
ROne more thing, are you positive you don't have something ingame bound to these axis, like vr hand controller or similar. I have had this happen and I chased this for days.
F
FEffects settings. Nothing is bound to the axis and nothing running in the background. The original rhino I have with the 57 motors does not have the issue with similar settings except balance spring is different due to the lack of extension.
RVery interesting man, above my knowledge
FAnd lastly here is a video of it being fixed temporarily by making a few circles and leaving it centered by hand.
