Hi, I have a problem after updating the firmware as prompted. Seemed to go fine but when I started DCS up, there was an error message about the firmware . In FFB config, it says I am at N/A version. When I try and update again, I can pair and connect, but pressing the "update firmware" button does nothing. And I have and error saying wrong firmware configuration version 182, expected 181........can someone help?

on the update tool it says device firmware is v1.0.17b3

mark turnerOP•11/1/24, 9:44 AM

But I only see v1.0.17b2 available on the list

Latest firmware is b3
Latest app is b2

Get the latest app and it should be good. You're probably opening the old v16 app with the new firmware installed.

Question about the limiter adapter, have a 20cm extension with the Rhino base, many times the fans start and the FFB resistance goes away after a prolonged dogfight with WWII planes in DCS, by adding a limiter adapter, will that reduce motor stress somehow and allows for longer dogfights before the fans kick in and the force goes away?

It all boils down to how much amps are applied at maximum deflection/spring. You can check that with the telemetry provided by the VP config. If you want to extend the time of unlimited force, you either need to increase cooling (pretty hard because the hardware doesn’t exactly excel at heat dissipation) or limit the power. (e.g. reducing the spring force gain)

Hiob•11/1/24, 12:33 PM

To directly answer your question - no, limiting the throw on its own doesn’t help.

Hiob•11/1/24, 12:35 PM

With the new fan control option, I would recommend to have always a small airflow around the motors. In other words, start earlier with the cooling.

Hiob•11/1/24, 12:36 PM

Reducing Master Gain would also slow down heat buildup.

How do I get the new fan control option?

Get an error

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 12:54 PM

Fix does not work for me

Copy the full line, I see you pasted a truncated string

This is good?

walmis•11/1/24, 1:06 PM

Yep, worked

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:10 PM

Thanks

Wwalmis Yep, worked

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:26 PM

when trying to install latest configurator I got this message

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:27 PM

walmis•11/1/24, 1:28 PM

You need to get back and update the firmware now, see if the Web page now allows to update after the powershell fix

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:28 PM

It does not allow the update

walmis•11/1/24, 1:29 PM

Did you replug USB and/or reboot ?

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:29 PM

Yes

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:29 PM

even rebooted

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:31 PM

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:33 PM

Updated to latest firmware and software, so in fan control you recommend I setup the fans to start earlier at lower temps?

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:33 PM

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:34 PM

what settings would you recommend here?

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:48 PM

Are there instructions on how this works? I assume its about controls getting stiffer at higher speeds?

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 1:49 PM

walmis•11/1/24, 2:02 PM

If you raise the upper end, you'll get twice the stiffness. The purple columns show the current state of spring gain/stiffness.

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 2:40 PM

Got it, thanks

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 2:58 PM

I use this brake lever or the Spitfire and Mosquito, in DCS the hand brake is super sensitive, is there a recommended setting that will make this lever operated brake less sensitive?

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 2:58 PM

Reduce max value reduces travel or brake strenght?

TonyZ2525•11/1/24, 3:00 PM

@I/JG7_Moto may need to set a curve in dcs control in game

TonyZ2525•11/1/24, 3:01 PM

for brake lever

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 3:17 PM

Brake lever is not recognized as an Axis in DCS, which is the problem, its like an ON OFF button, no option to tune it as far as I know

This is a cool new option. I was wondering, is there enough room currently in the Rhino design to install a better fan that might improve cooling even more?

There are ways to design your own panels for 3D printing. I actually installed a Phanteks T30. But don’t expect to much. The Motor-Housing is a good heatsink due to its thermal mass - until it is saturated, then it gets difficult to cool, because it has very little surface area compared to its thermal mass. More airflow is always better, but not by much when the heat transfer is poor.
I‘m actually thinking about adding some of those to the motors:

Hiob•11/1/24, 4:39 PM

If cooling becomes a factor though strongly depends on your kind of flying. Mainly an issue in dogfighting with aircraft that can hold a lot of G for a prolonged time…. No factor in basic flying, Air to ground or helicopters.
