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:

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.

i found the M.2 heatsinks fit very well

RoboGeoffOP•11/1/24, 4:44 PM

THe F-14 in dogfights heats the motors up very quickly I found. I I'll have to see if I can find heatsinks that are the right size for the motors. I have one that I thermal taped to the back of a GPU backplate a few years ago that might be too big.

Where do you think of attaching the M.2 heatsinks, outside on the case? or internally?

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 5:54 PM

If we put one of these outside, pushing air or extracting air from the case ,will it help?

Directly on the motors. Otherwise they would have no effect. You need five heatsinks per Motor 4 on the sides and one on the bottom. (Well, you don’t NEED, but that would have the greatest effect)

And then you should submerge it all in a tank of mineral oil that is cooled to sub ambient through a radiator you stick in a freezer.

RoboGeoffOP•11/1/24, 7:12 PM

This one is probably too big

That honestly looks as if its meant to be cut to fit whatever you need.

Dracks•11/1/24, 8:47 PM

Hello everyone!
I've been experiencing a problem for 1 week and everything leads me to believe that there is a bug between the Hype-H145 liveries and TelemFFB.
Let me explain my problem:
15 days ago, no (0) problems with my H145 liveries. Everything worked perfectly with TelemFFB. All settings were done and no problems. Pure joy.
BUT since updating the VPForce software (config + telemFFB), I've had 1 very strange problem.
My livery n°1 works perfectly (MSFS settings, H145 tablet, telemFFB, etc...).
I go back to the MSFS main menu, change the livery (livery n°2) and launch the game.
Now I've got a problem that's been bugging me ever since... I keep getting “Hands ON” on the H145 (whether with the AP or just by moving the collective). What's worse is that the VMS/CTRL doesn't show any (0) game (sim input) or joystick movement (user input)... The only way to cancel it is to do a trim release and after 5-10 sec, the HANDS ON reappears even though I'm doing nothing!
I just don't get it!
I restart the game with my livery n°1 and 0 problems.
I'm familiar with the whole process with the H145 (TR, AP, MSFS keyboard bindings, H145 tablet,...) but I can't see where it's bugging! All my bindings are OK, the H145 tablet is OK, TelemFFB seems OK (I don't see any difference between my 2 deliveries...except the profile name => same settings).
I've recalibrated everything in VPForce config, saved my settings, checked the links everywhere... I just don't get it.
HELP

Number481•11/1/24, 9:10 PM

Is TelemFFB loading a different profile for the 2nd livery or is it using the same default one that matches the Airbus H145.*Airbus H145.* string?

Dracks•11/1/24, 9:13 PM

It loads a 2nd profile.

Livery 1 = profile 1 (full name of the livery)
Livery 2 = profile 2 (H145.*).

However, I have the impression that I've set them up the same way.

Number481•11/1/24, 9:21 PM

It’s super important that you clone the profile for the 2nd livery from the built-in default as opposed to just creating a new profile and assigning the “HPG” type to it.

It’s one of the limitation how we’re doing dynamic simvar subscriptions for special cases like the Hype helis that I haven’t gotten around to addressing yet.

Alternatively, if you change the “name” in your 2nd livery aircraft.cfg file to start with “Airbus H145”, it should pick up and use the built in profile.

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 10:16 PM

Updated firmware and latest Telem,, all good but now my spring settings are controlled by application (DCS) and again in the WWII warbirds the aileron forces are a lot stronger than elevator forces, I modified spring to make it equal, but now its being overridden by DCS, is there a way to make the elevator pitch forces stronger

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 10:16 PM

I/JG7_Moto•11/1/24, 10:17 PM

The way it is with stiff ailerons and soft elevator is pretty unrealistic.

amadeus•11/1/24, 10:21 PM

Spring forces were always controlled by the game unless you have sticky checked, but doing so would also end up disabling things like trim following. Perhaps some telemffb settings changed in the update you did?

Dracks•11/1/24, 11:17 PM

Well, I've done the suggested manipulations but still nothing... Still HANDS ON on some deliveries and not on others.

In fact, the liveries I assigned in TelemFFB a few months ago seem to work fine BUT as soon as TelemFFB loads them under the names “Airbus H145.*” or “Airbus H160.x” then it makes HANDS ON.
I unplugged everything (no USB other than Rhino) and same problem.

I try with the new FW (b3)

RimanDk•11/1/24, 11:53 PM

Hello, just updated to latest firmware, configurator and TelemFFB and ran into a problem in DCS. I've been flying the A-10C II on a longer mp mission, when I got soem error beeps and the stick went dead in my hand. This happened to me twice, about an hour apart. It happened in fairly low-stress situations, too, which makes it all the more weird! Turning off the unit with the red button and turning it on again a second later worked (and I was able to stay in the air and keep flying), but this is obviously quite the hiccup!

Oddly, I tried provoking it after by doing a couple of instant-action dogfights in the F-14 and got nothing, It just worked.

The debug tab on the Configurator did mention FAULT_UNDERVOLTAGE. Screenshots for reference. I haven't touched any config options since I updated and I never had this issue before the latest update. Could be a coincidence, but I thought I would mention.

Does anyone have any ideas?

RimanDk•11/1/24, 11:57 PM

I have also had a different, fairly consistent issue, while I'm at it, that I have been meaning to ask about. Fairly often - most often when switching to the F-14 - I will find myself in a situation, where I have FFB coming from the game, but trimming doesn't work! I have no idea why. It's a bit of a dice toss every time I enter a plane, whether it will have trim or not. Most of the time, it will, but every... I wanna say 20%-25% of the times, it doesn't. The only solution appears to be to restart DCS.

I don't know where the fault lies here, and it's not something that is consistent enough that it is easily reproducible. There isn't a specific set of plane and mission that just triggers it every time. Honestly feels like it's just DCS randomly fucking up...

Any ideas on this one?

Dracks•11/2/24, 12:08 AM

@Number481 Okay, I've tried it and here are my findings:
I tried with the HPG livery (the one from the action pack).

A) If I launch the livery WITHOUT changing the title = TelemFFB matches the title with the default profile (Airbus H145.) and it crashes (HANDS ON)
B) If I run the same livery but change the name (I remove the Airbus H145) then TelemFFB asks me to create or clone a profile. And then, when I clone my working profile (i.e. a personal profile), I no longer have HANDS ON.

Do the profiles “Airbus H145.” and 160 have a specificity that an old profile (made with a TelemFFB 1-2 months ago) would not have???

Dracks•11/2/24, 12:09 AM

Dracks•11/2/24, 12:21 AM

No that's why it's very strange. I compared line by line and it's 100% the same. The only difference I saw is:

Dracks•11/2/24, 12:22 AM

H145 NAME_1 matched with (defaut) profile called "Airbus H145.*

Dracks•11/2/24, 12:24 AM

H145 NAME_2 dont match with any profile then I (can) clone my old profile (called "HEMS Team Blue")

Dracks•11/2/24, 12:25 AM

Then my Helicopter named "TEAM BLUE" (aircraft.cfg) is match with my (old) profile called "HEMS TEAM BLUE" (in telemFFB)

Number481•11/2/24, 12:37 AM

I guess I don't understand anything?

When the helicopter tablet is set up properly, "Hands ON" gets triggered by TelemFFB when the joystick exceeds the configured hands-on deadzone range. Conversely, "Hands Off" gets triggered once the stick is back inside the configured hands-off deadzone setting range.

That is the only setting which affects when and why Hands on/off gets triggered.

I am not at home currently so I can't test anything, but if you send me your userconfig.xml I can look at it in a couple of days when I get back.

This is a cool new option. I was wondering, is there enough room currently in the Rhino design to in
