From experience USB3 is usually somewhat better, I've encountered less problems with them. Cheap USB2 hubs often use knockoff chinese chips and are somewhat quirky. YMMV

Quality is a different concern. It is true (unfortunately) that some hubs work and others don't. I was just talking in principle. It is good advise to go with somewhat reliable brands and don't buy the cheapest one you can get.

Hiob•11/14/24, 12:06 PM

I'm using both, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 hubs. None is connected to its powersupply though.

Hiob•11/14/24, 12:08 PM

A simple USB 2.0 hub that hasn't let me down so far is the D-Link DUB H4, and a reliable USB 3.0 Hub is this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07KFG8PPR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm using it without the Power-Brick for two Rhino devices and two other input devices.

The USB 2.0 Hub runs my TrackIR cam, Keyboard and mouse.

Thanks Hiob and Walmis! Duh - I meant D-link not TP link. I'll look at that RSHtech hub.

Wanted to try the new beta software, but I cant update my firmware, "no compatible devices found". The stick works fine, and connects to vpforce configurator, its running firmware 1.0.16. Tried various browsers, tried USB2 and 3 ports on my motherboard and a USB3 PCIe card. Not sure what else I can do?

amadeus•11/14/24, 9:33 PM

what browser is this?

Vertigo (VIV)•11/14/24, 9:34 PM

thats brave, used to work. I tried edge and chrome too, same result

amadeus•11/14/24, 9:34 PM

kk, yeah, was gonna say, try chrome if you haven't already, unfortunately not sure what's going on, will probably require walmis n co to answer

Vertigo (VIV)•11/14/24, 9:36 PM

never mind, reboot solved it somehow!

Vertigo (VIV)•11/14/24, 9:39 PM

Or it didnt. Not entirely. Now it connects but wont upgrade the firmware or detect the current one:

One more question. Max PSU current is for some reason set to 4A. I have the "stock" PSU that came with my rhino, it says 19.5A @19V. Can I just set that PSU current to 19.5A or am I misunderstanding something?

Hiob•11/14/24, 10:51 PM

You could drive more than one device of certain PSUs, then you need to limit the per device draw. In your case, you can safely put that to 10 Amps. That is more than you will ever need probably.

Hiob•11/14/24, 10:52 PM

I wouldn’t go to the advertised amps though. leave some wiggle room for safety.

Vertigo (VIV)•11/14/24, 10:56 PM

sounds like a plan. Honestly, even 4A is enough, but I was just curious how far I can drive it.

Hiob•11/14/24, 10:58 PM

4A may(!) become a bottleneck if you pull diagonally and both motors draw maximum power at the same time, Kind of an edge case, but the only scenario I can think of.

Hiob•11/14/24, 10:59 PM

I‘m driving three motors from a 15A PSU and set the Rhino Stick (2 Motors) to 10A and the pedals (1 Motor) to 6A. Pretty unlikely that all three will pull max A at the same time.

Hiob•11/16/24, 8:32 AM

@walmis regarding the current beta of the VP configurator. Don’t know if bug or feature. When you enable the hardware trim and offset the center, it stays offset when you disable the hardware trim again. And another thing I encounter. When opening the VP config, it doesn’t always read and display the current config from the stick without forcing it. With the last release version, that worked reliably as far as I can tell.

Vertigo (VIV)•11/16/24, 1:41 PM

Im having some issues with oscillations when using software endstops. I think this issue is new in 1.0.17b, but Im not positive. If I move the stick towards the software endstop (with no other forces being active, or master gain to zero) it can induce oscillations, with or without holding the stick. I tried a few things, like low pass and notch filters, but nothing seems to cure it.

SOB Simulations•11/16/24, 5:29 PM

I lost trim in the A1 0 in DCS. I have the trim button properly mapped. I can see the trim button move forward in the cockpit, but my physical stick does not move in the cockpit and trim is no longer working in the A-10. Any ideas what I messed up? It was working, but I tried downloading a different profile. I have since restored my original profile, but trim has not returned. I have confirmed that “sticky” is not selected in any of my spring damper, inertia or friction effects. I also have no trim effects in the F 14 if I go into special options for the F-14 in DCS and uncheck trim, then I can make the trim cockpit indicator move with the trim hat, but with force feedback trim enabled trim does not function in the F-14 either. (For anyone who runs across this issue the solution was to go into the effects tab and check hardware for trim and relaunch DCS and trim effects returned I have since gone back to the effect tab and disabled hardware trim and it is still working in DCS so this may be a possible bug after loading a different profile)

kronk•11/16/24, 8:45 PM

Does trim on the A10c move the stick to does it adjusted a trim tab?

SOB Simulations•11/16/24, 8:50 PM

Yes, I got it working and now when you press the trim hat, the stick moves forward and back with the trim hat. (Both the virtual stick in the cockpit and the rhino stick.)

FFB Stick following the trim doesn’t work anymore (for me)

Hey, usually when I trim the F-4 the FFB Stick would follow. So if trim nose down for fast cruise, the sticks center position (or force free position) would move forward (quite a bit). However, that doesn’t work anymore. I can see that the trim hat inputs are registered and the bob weight indicat...

Hiob•11/17/24, 10:43 AM

Unless I‘m blind (not impossible

) there is no such option in the F-4 special options. And I didn’t change anything there either from when it worked.
Does the trim following still work for you in the Tomcat?

walmisOP•11/17/24, 11:05 AM

Just tried free flight on F-4 - trim seems to work fine
