I haven’t had time to take apart the pit. I’m off next week and will take out the rhino and tightened everything up and see if it helps.
ZI have it partially disassembled right now without going too deep, so if the stuff I tightened down fixes it I’ll let you know, otherwise we may have to go deeper haha.
*This little biatches got loose... front and rear one almost fell out totally... and that caused the sharp vibrations when passing through pitch axis center... THX!!!
RNice, Ill be able to check next week.
KI had the same problem when I used it with the standard Virpil base.
So this issue is not related to any vibrations done by the Rhino.
Virpil should insert these screws with LocTide.

CVPforce Shift-Register Board for my DIY collective/pedals arrived.
Can't find a wiring on the vp force homepage. Anyone here can help?
Wiring to the rhino board found, but no wiring for switches

ZMight still be with the vibrations a bit, I’ve definitely torqued down those screws before when I had my CM3 base, but just had to again with the rhino. Definitely considering the loctite now
WWire each button to common GND and InputX pin on the shift register
CSo no resistors, thanx very much!
SHi guys, is it possible to get the Ste file for the power supply jack plug housing and a new power supply, had a family accident and need to replace both items.

THello, I'm loving my VPForce Rhino that I recently received. I did have a question though. I see the configuration provides a way to change "Axis Scaling" in the "Effects" tab. Is there also a way to introduce an "Axis Offset" so that I can have a non-standard "center" to the joystick? Even better if I can control via TelemFFB. This would be very useful for helicopters where you really want the "center" position to be where the stick is about 50% the way back. Helicopters spend a lot of time with the stick a long way forward and almost never with it all the way back, and reaching forward can get tiring with a long extension. Even better would be being able to supply complete custom curves.
HEasiest way to mess with the center position is messing with the calibration values. I wouldn’t recommend though, but rather bring the base closer to the seat if possible. Also in most helicopters the cyclic position in cruise is slightly forward. Perhaps an inch or two. If you are „a long way forward“, you‘re going way to fast probably. But maybe that is a matter of different perception or definition.
BWith helicopters and the rhino, center is simply where you trim it to be.
But without any of the axis tom-foolery that the return-to-center trimming dcs has for spring sticks.
Axis scaling etc is more for when you have more physically limiting situations. For example, if you pull back on the stick as far as you can, but you hit your chair and you only reach 80% output, you can scale down that part of the axis by 20-25% and get full range without also grinding down your nuts.

TYou are quite right that the stick position should only be slightly forward in cruise .. however, (sadly) some helicopters in MSFS 2024 aren't modelled that way and require holding a lot of forward stick to go at normal cruise speed. My arm gets tired reaching so far on long cruises, hence wanting to change the center point. I can somewhat reduce the effect by putting a ridiculous curve in the MSFS axis configuration .. but only somewhat as MSFS doesn't have as much control here as DCS, sadly.
Changing the stick mounting would work for helicopters .. but it would be bad planes (I fly both) where you pull back a lot more. The stick would then be hitting the seat all the time. I guess I could move it back and add a front end-stop in software to just reduce the overall throw of the stick ...

RHi QQ question. I keep getting the Rhino cutting out...checking the log I get a FAULT_UNDERVOLTAGE, and then the stick resets. Any idea what the cause of the UNDERVOLTAGE is - I was having no issues prior to the latest firmware update. Do I need a more power USB hub?
WHi,
first make sure the DC plug is firmly in place

ROK thanks I will check
DI have found the end stops oscillate as you bounce off them when you hit them .
I f they have a slight delay in milliseconds or ramp in the effect then that might improve the feel substantially.
Instant application of the end stop effect is the likely culprit.

Mhello i have some hard time recognizing the rhino base after dcs is started. yesterday evening it worked, didnt know how i do that because its first time installing. seems that he cant find the file but it is there in the dcs folder. Dont know why he is searching in dcs open beta because it should be the official dcs directory?
Mi was reinstalling the next level platform manager because i had it installed before. now its working again. i dont think thats as it should be?
FPSA:
if you are starting to go mad because of the Rhino not throwing any effects and refusing to take trim input move the TelemFFB line in the Export.lua file to the first line. It suddenly starts working again then. lol

KDepends on the other tools in your export lua. If one of the tools is not cleanly programmed and does return on the right way, it will kill tools later in the file.
Sometimes you have to play arond with the order of the entries. If you have a working version make a backup or take a note about the order. So if a tool cleans the export lua (I had this case before) you don't need to start from scratch.

JI just updated my firmware after a noification telling me its needed. Now it claims i need to update the configurator, not seeing any ways of directly updating it so i assume i need to replace the entire folder with the fresh install but what file holds all my settings? I want to be able to copy those over to save me some headache
BSearch in the folder for files ending in .vpconf.
Jno results apart from the release notes
SHello :)) Getting very close to my queue number (registered in July!). Can I ask roughly how long does it take from payment to shipping the unit out? Also do you think it’s okay for the unit to remain in the box for 5-6months before I unbox it? Reason being I have to temporarily move to a diff country for work for about 6-7 months. Thank you 
Fyou have to export your current profile first. the settings probably are just saved to your device currently.
BIt might depend. But I got unit availability notice. Payment, and shipping notification in like five hours. shouldn't be much more than a few days at most.
JThanks, since i havent exported properly before i had to import what was saved on the devide and set the rest manually this time but will make sure to keep the exports updated 
Fso I just came out of a flight sim hiatus and fired up DCS (after updating firmware of the Rhino, FFB configurator and TelemFFB) and have issues getting the effects that I got beforehand.
like engine rumble etc. I can see it getting read and displayed in TelemFFB but the Rhino isn't doing anything.
regular magnetic trimming etc. does work though.
can seem to find out what the issue is.
has this been an issue recently or did I mess up something?

Fshowing but stick is stiff
Ndo you see the corresponding effects in the configurator debug tab? And, what are your configurator settings?
FI guess they are all being displayed, yes.
NYou have Pot #2 assigned to Periodic effects... whether or not you actually have a pot#2 (base Rhino does not).. the value is at %0.8
Foh, wow. how do I reset the value? just disabling pot no. 2?
Fyeah, disabling the pot no. 2 helped. wonder how it got set to 0.8% 
Fthank you very much
SI have started using VPforce-TelemFFB; was flying F-14 with AB on, suddenly my Rhino just disarmed
PCan anyone tell me why this behavior happens?
TPost screenshots of your effects and settings tab from the VPF configurator
Fcurves set in your game?
PPI’m trying this profile, I calibrated and once saved the calibration it starts to oscillate…
GI've had two issues on longer flights in DCS where my stick went completely dead. Going from full FFB to nothing and no buttons working. I was able to solve it by hitting the killswitch and then turning it back on and the stick came right back to life both times and functioned just fine until the end of the flihgt...but, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on a potential cause I could investigate a fix?
KWhich version of the firmware are you using?
KI mainly fly A-10CIIs in DCS. The Rhino used to jump forwards a bit as soon as I entered the cockpit of the A-10. I've read here that this is normal. But recently (maybe since one of the last DCS updates) the stick stays in the centre. However, DCS now thinks I have already pulled the stick back a bit. As a result, the aircraft always pulls upwards. As long as I fly slowly, the trim is sufficient, but when I fly fast, maximum trim down is no longer sufficient. I then always have to hold against it. If I switch off FFB in the DCS misc settings, the effect does not occur. And I don't have this problem with the Hornet either. Has anyone else noticed this? Or does anyone know a solution?
