Ive seen a few comments about USB hubs and Rhino issues. Is this a general "dont use" rule? I was hoping to use a hub connected to the chair due to my situation (wont have a permanent pit). Itll be a bit of a bugger if I cant do this.

Just my personal experience, but I was able to make the Rhino work on 3 different powered USB 3.0 hubs. HOWEVER, on 2 of the 3 hubs (including an "industrial" one) if I came close to maxing out the ports (even though I wasn't maxing out the available endpoints as far as I could tell with USB Device Tree Viewer) I would get disconnects from TelemFFB and the device would stop being seen as a game controller even though USB Device Tree Viewer still saw it.

tanr•11/5/24, 8:58 PM

I still have the Rhino on a powered hub (Startech Industrial 10 port USB 3.0 w/ 65 watt PS) but I am only using 8 of the 10 ports. Adding any additional device causes issues. Note that I've got a Stream Deck XL on that same hub and it's a resource hog, so could be part of the issue.

I‘m running both, Rhino Stick and „Rhino“ Pedals from a USB 3.0 hub (unpowered). So far no issues.

Hiob•11/5/24, 9:14 PM

Seem to be the same apart from the port count

kaltokri•11/5/24, 9:18 PM

I had a rule of thumb since some years with DCS and USB hubs: "Connect everything that has an axis directly to the motherboard usb ports or a good pcie USB card." I had really strange behaviors by using some USB hubs. But I want to slim down my cable management. So I will try it again.

BOOOP•11/5/24, 9:23 PM

Ive used my Crosswinds, Warthog Throttle and Virpi Stick without any issues in DCS for many years using a powered 7 port TP-link hub. Worst I get on boot up is a funky stick but unplgging the usb sorts it instantly. Im hoping this continues with the Rhino though I will likely upgrade the hub (hence the asks) for those non VR moments when I have to drag out the TIR and headphones.

Hiob•11/5/24, 9:23 PM

Sometimes I think, it is not the Hubs that are problematic but other devices on the same line.

Hiob•11/5/24, 9:24 PM

Then again there are cockpit builders, that daisy chain a dozend usb hubs without issue (seemingly)….. I don’t know. Astrology

BOOOP•11/5/24, 9:29 PM

Thank you for the quick answers. My Rhino is imminent though I wont be able to use for a few more months. My next mission is seeing if Monsterstck can accomodate a wider cutaway in their MFC-1. Dont ask dont get.

CCaptainNel So could I build my own stick on my own hc165s and it would work?

TheAmazinGreat•11/5/24, 10:03 PM

You need to add an inverter on the CS for HC165 (inverter goes between pin1 of HC165 and VPF main board) the VPF shift register boards I bought had the HC165 with the inverter.

The alternate option is to build with CD4021B shift registers.

CaptainNel•11/5/24, 10:19 PM

Yeah I’ll likely rebuild mines with the VPforce board, just to simplify things

CaptainNel•11/5/24, 10:19 PM

It’s been ordered at any rate so

CaptainNel•11/5/24, 10:20 PM

In terms of connectors, can I wire up a ps2 type connector straight to the board? R or do I have to make up a jst type plug for the run

walmis•11/6/24, 10:38 AM

It probably doesn't have FFB implementation. You'd have to make a sticky spring or use telemFFB spring override

DeltaVJ•11/6/24, 10:49 AM

Wouldn't it be possible to add a file in the mod folder or change one just so that it has basic implementation from the game ?

DeltaVJ•11/6/24, 10:49 AM

like copying another plane ffb implementation?

walmis•11/6/24, 11:04 AM

Not sure how open-source the ov-10 is, but FFB stuff requires dealing with FM code in C++

You could manually reduce the (raise the lower and reduce the higher values) values of your calibration and save that profile specifically for the Hornet. That would give you more reaction per movement. Also for FBW-Aircraft, you might try to make the spring sticky and

Trooper 311•11/6/24, 5:50 PM

sorry, where do i find the calibration values

TTrooper 311 sorry, where do i find the calibration values

Hiob•11/6/24, 6:27 PM

In the VP config where you made the main settings and the calibration. In the lower part of the screen you see the min and max axis values. You can manually change them, for example bring every value 200-500 points closer to the middle. That way you need less real stick movement for more virtual stick.

Great Thank you

TTrooper 311 Great Thank you

Hiob•11/6/24, 6:31 PM

Don’t forget to apply and save and I would suggest that you export your config before experimenting and then save a dedicated version for the Hornet.

Old Prospector•11/6/24, 8:55 PM

Do people turn off / unplug / estop their stick between uses?

do you tend to estop it or fully unplug or something else

Old Prospector•11/6/24, 9:04 PM

just wondering what people tend to do

kaltokri•11/6/24, 9:06 PM

I use a switchable power socket with Rhino joystick and Rhino pedals connected to it.

Old Prospector•11/6/24, 9:06 PM

got it, thanks

Bob Bushman•11/6/24, 9:10 PM

Most consumer electronics stores sell these $25 kits with about three remote sockets and a small remote.
Use them between my hub and power supplies etc and stick the remote to my pit with velcro tape. Or whatever works for you.

Old Prospector•11/6/24, 9:10 PM

was just about to buy one of these lol

Old Prospector•11/6/24, 9:10 PM
