Do people turn off / unplug / estop their stick between uses?
Do people turn off / unplug / estop their stick between uses?
KYes.
Owhich one?
Oor other thing
Odo you tend to estop it or fully unplug or something else
Ojust wondering what people tend to do
KI use a switchable power socket with Rhino joystick and Rhino pedals connected to it.
Ogot it, thanks
BMost 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.

Owas just about to buy one of these lol
Owell not exactly but the same idea
HI use a switched outlet to turn everything off.
BWhish I had them, but those are just not a thing around here.
If I asked an electrician for it they would likely just look at me funny.

Oseems like they're all 15A, alright
BAlso note I wouldn't run more than a few hundred Watt through these.
Even if the packaging suggest things like 3000w space heaters...

Omine will be rhino alone
Ois it bad to just estop it? that seems easiest
Ooh it doesn't stay, right
BI mostly just mention that by habit, you never know with some people. I suspect most here are quite competent around these things though 
BIt doesn't stay pressed, but you will have to twist it to disengage.
So it is a latching button.

WSettings: is there someone who owns a VPforce that does or did fly an F18 and be willing to share their settings?
Owhat should my idle temps be
Othey seem kinda high
FIt depends on your room temperature. Mine is usually around 30c without usage and 40c when in use and then in idle (Y axis). Also if your stick is using a long offset extension the Y motor will be continuously working to keep it centered raising it's temperature.
Swhen i move stick left to right i hear like a spring tension sound and feel through my hand something banged, what could it be?
SUpdate Problem: After update to the latest beta my collective base does not work any more for the HPG helis. Is there the possibility to go back to the latest firmware version? Was totaly OK for me.
Thank´s for any ideas

Nits not the firmware. Something changed in MSFS recently where there is a significant delay getting the telemetry data related to the trim release lvars. I've tried correcting for this in TelemFFB. It works but it still isn't quite right.
Make sure you have the collective trim release button bound in TelemFFB. That was not strictly required with previous versions.

SThe collective trim release button is mapped in TelemFFB. And it totaly does not work in my case. I can not move the collective. Feels like trim release does not work.
NTry a previous build like https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB/releases/tag/20240908 and see if it works as before (just unzip anywhere and run... ignore the update message). You might notice a delay when engaging/releasing collective TR. In fact, I would be very interested if you don't. I still can't determine if the issue I am seeing is only me or something that changed in the sim.
SThank you very much for your efforts. The function is back. It ist the same feeling as befor - with the delay. I finished my collective base only 10 of 15 days ago and I am quite shure I have this delay from the beginning. So I am afraid I cant help with the question if it came up with a change in the sim.
(@walmis Did you do the diode test? It's a bit different as it shows whether the signal reaches the grip electronics. That will confirm whether there's no issues in the connector itself.
Now have done diode check and can confirm that the jst - grip is ok I get a reading of between 599 -660 on GND to each other pin
Im tearing my hair out at this, managed to also break a pi. On my warthog grip during all this diagnostics but my f-18 grip is showing the diode check is good
Where do I go from here

(Do you sell a complete cable and conector
WCan you do a same diode test on the FFB board? (make sure it's unpwered)
(Oh ok later tonight I hope
(@walmis Ok

Does CS look correct?

DDoes anyone else experience some fairly violent shaking when flying the F-4? It's fine while I'm doing startup, but as soon as I get in the air over 200 kts it's jumping back and forth, left to right, fairly hard....it's tough enough that it's preventing me from flying the F-4 in anything other than a traffic pattern...any ideas on which part of TelemFFB to shut off?
TI had to turn Jet Engine Rumble and Afterburner Rumble (or something like that) down quite a lot for the F4 or I got too much shaking. Think I ended up with them on 8 and 12.
NNo, that is not normal at all. There aren't even any TelemFFB effects that would do that.
Look at the TelemFFB monitor tab to see a list of which effects are active.
Also, post your configurator settings including the expert settings section (expand out the Dynamics/low pass/notch sections if you are running the new v1.0.17).

(@walmis does the figures above look ok to you or do I have a faulty FFB board especialy CS figure
WYeah, CS looks busted
(@walmis would the board be coverd by a warranty or do I need to buy a new board and if so how much
(Just seen you list them on order page, new board ordered could you send a grip to board cable too please
MIs there any way to roll back firmware?
MUpgraded to latest beta, and would like to get back to release version.
B@walmis Since I updated to firmware v1.0.17b4, and Configurator v1.0.17b2, I am only getting damping when moving the stick left, or forward. Aft and right, there's no damping, and the stick springs very quickly past center, then centers with the damping from the opposite direction.
WCan you try importing the default configuration?
BThat did it, thanks. Sorry for the ping, I haven't used the configurator much, so I'll remember that for the future.
Rthe app on the website wont update
Rmy configurator is telling me its expecting 181 when 182 is installed
Rwhen i click on the link to take me to the website the update firmware button doesn't work
Rnvm found it
