I have a question about the VP MOD that I installed on the Virpil Ace pedals. Do you know if the brake pedals don't work when using the Mod? It's like the brake signal isn't being read by the VPForce program... or did I do something wrong?

If you are referring to my mod design, there is no electrical connection between the pedals and the VPforce control board. The brakes still need assigned from the virpil pedals, not from the "vp force" pedals.

In order to get the brakes into the VPforce board, you would need to re-wire from the brakes to the analog inputs on the board (and probably would have to replace the hall sensors with ones that provide analog output as I am pretty sure they are digital).

RRogueSqdn for remapping?

firmware prob, not w/ configurator?

RogueSqdn•11/26/24, 3:39 PM

thanks!

Wwalmis I'll make some optimizations

I have seen similar lagging in the settings page on a couple of occasions and never been able to pinpoint what is going on . For me, running in python native, when it happens, it seems to be tied to the virtual environment of whatever branch/pycharm project I am running. When it happens, if I start from a different project, or from an exe build, it is perfectly fine.

Seems like it might be a deep PyQT issue more than a logic issue.

@walmis paddle button on RealSimulator extension flashes on/off. ideas?

Henning Piez•11/26/24, 7:13 PM

Maybe I am to stupid.... For allowing Trim and Autopilot functions in MSFS the manual says, I have to remove any binding in MSFS or SPAD.NXT. But after removing that functions and enabling it in the VP Force Software, Joystick, Collective and Rudder are not connected to the sim. What do I wrong?

smitty•11/26/24, 7:24 PM

turn on axis control switch? telemffb acts like SPAD.

RogueSqdn•11/26/24, 8:36 PM

@walmis regarding the flashing paddle button, I have confirmed it works properly with a RS base and works properly over Bluetooth with my Virpil CM3 base.

RogueSqdn•11/26/24, 8:37 PM

Before you did the Firmware update this morning, it worked as a solid ON button, so something you did may have had an unintended consequence

I would ask @walmis. It works fine in 2020 maybe something is needed, not even sure if there is native ffb telem in 24.

Hi guys I have just finished (almost ) building @Hiob MFG Crosswind Mod and reached the part where i need to connect to the VPForce webpage to update the firmware!. All seemed to go well and the PCB seemed to be recognised and the firmware updated but on resetting itself i got the message in the screenshot about a securty failure and while the PCB seems to beep if i disconnect it the green light that showed up on initial connection no longer lights up. Can anyone help please not sure how to redo the firmware flash or if it is now Bricked!

Hiob•11/27/24, 10:21 PM

Disconnect it from USB and turn off the power, then reload the page and reconnect USB and power. leave the Stick disconnected for the time being and try again.

Nemisis Wolf•11/27/24, 10:26 PM

Thanks Will try that.

The Stick was fully disconnected at the time of firmware flash, Rudders were and have been the only USB device connected all evening.

Nemisis Wolf•11/27/24, 10:27 PM

No joy! That message shows up as soon as the USB cable is connected powered up or powered down!

Nemisis Wolf•11/27/24, 10:31 PM

When this message is showing if i press the connect button it shows as follows but it does not show up in VPForce configurator software!

Hiob•11/27/24, 10:34 PM

Why does it say Joystick?
You should go in the VP config, give it a different ID and name it Pedals. I don’t know if that is a problem here, but I would try. Regardless of the firmware version, do the pedals show in VP config?

Hiob•11/27/24, 10:35 PM

Bit when you click on the entry, can you connect?

Nemisis Wolf•11/27/24, 10:39 PM

Hi @Hiob

No i can highlight the Rhino FFB Joystick- Paired option but it only makes the connect box go away and I'm left with the page with the security error!

I cant rename it as VP config does not recognise anything is plugged in!
I had just connected the Rudders for the first time and build instructions said to update the firmware, this is the result of that. I cannot change anything as it will not let me try to re-flash the firmware and VP config does not recognise anything is plugged in! But the Flash page does seem to recognise it to a degree but can't do anything with it!

Dracks•11/28/24, 2:04 PM

Hello everyone,
I'm having a little problem here and there and I could use some help identifying where it's going wrong.
I'll illustrate with an example: FA18 Challenge in MSFS (or DCS)
During very fast movements (turning left then right) or prolonged movements (holding a full left), I very often have a fault with the motor concerned (left here, for example). I don't know if the problem comes from my configuration (VP configurator) or my TelemFFB settings or something else (my not-so-famous steering)?
Do these screenshots help you to see more clearly?
Note that everything works perfectly if I “play more quietly (or normally)”. The engine reset works very well and everything returns to perfection.
I guess it's a motor protection, but I don't know what I should do to avoid this (master gain? potentiometer? other?).
Thanks for your help

Since like 4 firmware updates I keep getting USB disconnects. Before it was fine for months, now I´m having problems. Works fine for hours. But then I get a disconnect. Usaually when I´m on a server and it´s the wost time. 1hour flying to target - disconnect. on final aftter a sucessful sortie - disconnect. Sometimes turning off and on again helps, sometimes nothing helps. Anything I can do to find the problem?

Hiob•11/29/24, 11:35 AM

Turning on and off (I assume you mean the e-stop button) only cuts the power to the motors. The board is powered by the 5V USB connection. So in order to cycle an USB connection issue, you need to unplug and pluf the USB connector.

Hiob•11/29/24, 11:36 AM

Which of course doesn't solve your original problem, I know.
