Yep, go to the VP configurator/ effects tab and you can try: adaptative centering and/or static force and/or balance spring. Cf my capture below

Dracks•12/19/24, 10:48 PM

Here's my effects tab (10cm extension and virpil Alpha stick)

Dracks•12/19/24, 10:49 PM

From memory it's balance spring the most useful. But try the others settings. For me it's the best settings for my joystick

Thanks buddy!

BOO•12/20/24, 9:53 AM

It appears that my experience of having no FFB in Cliff of Dover is not universal and others are reporting that it works as expected even without the configuarator or telem running. Can anyone else confirm or perhaps point to something obvious that I'm missing. I should add that the rhino seems to work fine in other titles. Thanks

I am still having issues with my stick. The DC plug is in place. It was sitting there, nothing happening (but on of course) and suddenly the stick powered down so I don't believe that it is the DC power. The USB port is a little wobbly, but a different error occurs when the USB plug is pulled out, so I don't believe that it is a USB fault or hub fault. Log below attached. Any ideas?

Try the following things one by one:

Disable Power Management for USB connected Devices
Connect Rhino directly to a USB on the mainboard
Try another psu. I suggest Meanwell 350/24. Best psu for Rhino imho.

Dracks•12/20/24, 4:55 PM

Hello pilots! A few questions for those who have the Rhino on rudder pedals.

I'm having trouble finding an optimal setting on the Fenix A3xx series. I have the impression that everything is empty as if 0 resistance didn't apply...everything else about planes and helicopters seems "realistic" (at least in my vision) but for the Fenix, I seem to have 0 sensation.
Would you have any recommendations for settings or effects to prioritize for the rudders of Airliners?

Dracks•12/20/24, 4:55 PM

(maybe a Fenix problem ?)

walmis•12/20/24, 5:43 PM

Yeah, this is indeed strange. I see both motors throw an undervoltage fault and restart after 1 second. Seems like it could be a power supply issue. If you have a spare laptop supply 12-20V with a 5.5/2.5 DC jack you could give it a try to isolate the issue. But the 1 second delay after motor timeout strongly suggests a PSU restart after some sort of internal fault.

RRed Magic is there a way to get rid of this

Number481•12/20/24, 7:48 PM

Try this. I used to think IL-2 (GB) had a bad/wonky FFB implementation... CLoD said "hold my beer".

I invested $2.49 to buy the game this morning out of an abundance of curiosity to see if I could figure out CLoD FFB. The above link is what I have added to the Rhino manual that should get it working. At least, its what I had to do to get it working.

Number481•12/21/24, 12:54 AM

The "answer" is already documented... sort of... just poorly and out of date. In the games manual/troubleshooting guide (pg54 in my copy) there is a section about using the devreorder tool. In there it mentions force feedback... but it's not really obvious that this part of the troubleshooting section is talking about fixing the enumeration issue. It also says to use the 32 bit DLL. I spent a good hour or two trying different things and could not get it to recognize the new device ordering. Then I noticed the exe is Launcher64Launcher64 so I thought to try the 64 bit DLL.. it worked.

My "test" mostly consisted of starting up the "first solo" training mission and making sure the game started a spring with 0 gain on the right device. I did briefly do an air start and saw I had spring force and felt some stall buffeting.

I don't know what other FFB gremlins may exist in the title.

NNumber481 🤘 The "answer" is already documented... sort of... just poorly and out of date...

BOO•12/21/24, 8:27 AM

Oh there are many, many gremlins

like firing cannon, droppig bombs and your AI gunners firing all cut the spring FFB until you drop below 320 km/h where it renegages. or no FFB at all on spawn in. All for the devs to look at again now FFB is back in fashion. Removing VJoy from my PC and only having the Rhino connected worked (as predicted). I will suggest TFS look at the Rhino manual and edit their troubleshooting. Thank you again for jumoing on this. I realise Clod is not a popular title.

BOO•12/21/24, 1:24 PM

All of the above, by the way, is fixable with a little 30 second, pre session flight and a small "voodoo" routine. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/33014-adjusting-force-feedback-in-cliffs-of-dover-blitz/page/2/

I've have got ffb working in BMS with another base but haven't tried the rhino yet (only got it a few days ago). You have to add a [ to the first line of the feedback.ini file so it looks like this [EffectData].

Boo Berry•12/21/24, 7:17 PM

Hello all, i did an update for the first time since I received my rhino mid March 2024 and Im not really happy with the update v1.0.17b. The things that changed in feeling are the spring force and some little control bump that happens while flying. The spring force used to get so tight at 100% that I would never adjust the red knob that high but now I can and it feels less stiff. The second issue is as Im flying and turning there will be this little bump in the stick at which the force/push back drops back in resistance and then returns to normal. I didn't have any problems prior to doing an update. is there a way to go back to my original software that was in the stick when i got it or what can i change to make it back to the original feeling?

But if you loose the power (motor fault in the debug page) it's a power issue (not just your psu but other sources too) or a settings (Considering what you're describing, probably not that)
