So telemFFB should load the vpconf profile in the VPForce config folder which has the file name matc

So telemFFB should load the vpconf profile in the VPForce config folder which has the file name matching the aircraft. So in the settings tab of telemFFB I can specify the vpconf file for the jet that telemFFB is recognizing at the moment. Is there a way to actually know what is loaded into VPForce FFB configurator? Does VPforce configurator show the name of the vpconf file anywhere?

The vpconf file is tied to the aircraft profile. Whatever you choose here will get pushed when that aircraft is loaded.

Number481•11/10/24, 9:37 PM

You can also set a default profile to load when TelemFFB starts and enable the global flag. With the global flag enabled, that profile will get pushed to any aircraft that does not have its own profile set if the previously loaded aircraft had one set.

skyPickleOP•11/10/24, 10:28 PM

thank you. But I was wondering if there is a way to confirm that the profile is indeed loaded in the VP Force configurator application.

Number481•11/10/24, 10:31 PM

The configurator does not show the file name.. But if you gave your profiles a unique "configuration name", you would see that update in configurator

skyPickleOP•11/10/24, 10:43 PM

As you can see, I have an AJS37.vpconf, telemFFB is configured correctly and loads it, but the VP configurator just shows a blank in the field (where yours shows default)

Number481•11/10/24, 10:44 PM

You have to save the text in that field when you save the profile. It’s not related to the file name in any way. Just a custom name you can give it.

skyPickleOP•11/10/24, 10:46 PM

ok, thank you. I just would like a way to confirm the correct profile gets loaded by telemFFB. I guess I can keep a record of the settings to confirm what I see in VP configurator.

Having an issue with the Rhino, I fly DCS warbirds mainly, all works well except for the FW190A8 and FW190D after some minutes of use the fan always comes ON and after a while the motors quit, only happens with this two planes

Hiob•11/11/24, 2:59 PM

Some odd things about your settings. First, with the Fan start temperature at 33 and end at 50 it is not surprising, that the fans turn on. You can easily expect an idle temp in the high 30s in a gaming session. So far so good.
Second. 100% spring is a lot. You are most likely overpowering the motors in the heat of the battle. Try to have the stats on top and see what kind of amps they are pulling when flying those Aircraft (supposedly in a Dogfight). Adjust your spring so you don't exceed maximum amps at maximum deflection.
Also with the telemetry up, see what temps you reach before the motors quit.

Hiob•11/11/24, 3:01 PM

On a side note, I assume you have Damper Inertia and Friction disabled intentionally? Are you using TelemFFB to override any settings?

f14billy•11/11/24, 3:27 PM

His pot1 (spring gain) is set to around 30 percent so he shouldn't be overpowering it right?

What would be a safe max temperature to stop the fans?

II/JG7_Moto What would be a safe max temperature to stop the fans?

Hiob•11/11/24, 4:34 PM

They don't stop at the end temperature (that wouldn't make much sense) - it's just where they reach their maximum (set) speed. Your fan settings are fine. If anything put the maximum speed to 100 if you need more cooling.
But from your description, I don't necessarily think it is a temp problem. Or at least we can't be sure.

Hiob•11/11/24, 4:36 PM

Are your motors really tilting and need to be reset or are they just getting weaker? (That would point to heat throttling)

Yes I use Telem, nothing different than other aircraft

Just a sudden thought that I should’ve figured out how long an extension this can handle before buying, I’ll be somewhere between 250-300mm I think, will the standard motors work well or am I SOL

It depends on what you will be using it for and how much force you are wanting to get from it. For my use (mostly jet fighters and dogfights) I have the standard rhino without extensions as a side stick and @SR-FWinger[73]_David monster rhino kit with the stronger 86 motors for extensions as a center stick.

NiccoSWE•11/12/24, 7:41 AM

Hi! I recently did a update of both the firmware and the software for my VPFORCE base. Ever since I experience random high force jerks (to the left). In some occasions it overpowers the motor and I need to restart the base. Do anyone else experience the same?

Limitless VR & Simrigs•11/12/24, 7:41 AM

*Resolved: I will leave this here in the event any one else has a similar issue. For some strange reason there is a conflict between my Razor Tartarus and the Rhino, but only with FS2020. If they are both plugged in FS2020 will black screen on boot. Got a real strange one, FS2020 black screen on boot, only when the Rhino is plugged in. Tried different cables, its now directly plugged into the IO on the mobo. all drivers, BIOS and firmware across the board all updated to the latest. Only seems to be impacting FS2020.

II/JG7_Moto Is there something wrong with my settings?

Hiob•11/12/24, 7:50 AM

At least not obviously. Sorry, I‘m out of ideas currently. Given how the telemetry and TelemFFB with DCS works, I find it unlikely that only specific aircraft crash the Rhino - unless there are settings that causes it. But I don’t know for sure of course. I would still assume some power instability. But I can’t explain why only those air raft are affected.
@walmis or @Number481 will probably have better ideas…..
sorry

I would check the wiring. I currently have loose contacts on my Rhino joystick. But I am still looking for the location. It is either the cables on the emergency stop switch or the data cables of the motors on the Rhino mainboard.

Questions:
I use fs2020 and have a dedicated H145 sim cockpit.

Can the trim release on the rhino be bound to any joystick button not plugged into the base? I use a max flight control which has its own USB controller box.
4 axis heli. AP moves the cyclic automatically. Can the Rhino follow that?

1 - Yes, via the loopback app you can tie any controller to the base for inputs
2 - Yes, all 4 axes are modeled via TelemFFB.

Thank you, I'm unfamiliar with the loop back app. Is that inside the vp control software or is it a separate download l?

So telemFFB should load the vpconf profile in the VPForce config folder which has the file name matc
