What is this solara thing here on all channels?

Red Magic•12/31/24, 3:20 PM

Don't think I've ever seen a bot do spam though. I usually see hacked ppl accounts do it

Alighierian•12/31/24, 3:27 PM

Eh, different kind of bot:
General support thingy/Discord plugin vs program that uses new and/or hacked accounts to post stuff as quickly as possible.

Without wishing to praise the creators, the kit and instructions are really well done and assembly is simple! You can take a look in the dedicated sub!

I'm having issues getting the brake axis to show up on the constellation alpha - any ideas?

I know alot of you are in other time zones etc, wishing you all a Happy & Healthy New Year!

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:15 PM

Which grip do you have selected in VPForce config?

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:16 PM

Constellation Alpha(Prime)

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:16 PM

It won't allow you to calibrate? The whole axis is not there?

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:17 PM

Have you tried loading a default profile?

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:17 PM

I can 'calibrate' them. But when I twist or squeeze the lever, the Raw Value doesn't change

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:17 PM

The buttons exist, It' s just not picking up any input when I move those axes

JJIGGAwest Have you tried loading a default profile?

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:17 PM

In the configurator?

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:18 PM

Yes in the configurator. Did you close the calibration?

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:18 PM

Yes, it's all closed

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:19 PM

The thumbstick inputs are being read. I can callibrate those just fine.

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:19 PM

I can calibrate the stick just fine.

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:26 PM

Also, if I plug in the stick, it seems like its random whether the light on the stick turns on or not

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:36 PM

I think it's my stick unfortunately - VPC's software couldn't see those axes either :/

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:36 PM

SO, any suggestions on a stick that will survive the FFB abuse?

WWhereNoLarkFlew SO, any suggestions on a stick that will survive the FFB abuse?

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:37 PM

is there a firmware update for the stick?

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:37 PM

I don't think for the stick, but there was for my virpil base

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:37 PM

you have avirpil base to test it with?

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:38 PM

Yes, didn't see the twist or brake axis in that software either.

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:39 PM

let me look at mine

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:41 PM

When I say didn't see twist or brake axis, I mean any input on those axes wasn't picked up. I can see the thumbstick though. And the actual base's inputs.

WWhereNoLarkFlew When I say didn't see twist or brake axis, I mean any input on those axes wasn't...

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:46 PM

did you try the firmware update with the stick connected to the base?

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:46 PM

Yes

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:47 PM

you may want to put in a ticket with virpil

JJIGGAwest you may want to put in a ticket with virpil

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:47 PM

Just did that, we'll see what they come back with

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:47 PM

if neither the VPForce configurator or the VPC configuration tool show any input to the axis, it could be a hardware issue.

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:48 PM

Hopefully I can just replace that connector. I have a feeling one of the pins has gone bad. Nothing is crooked.

JJIGGAwest if neither the VPForce configurator or the VPC configuration tool show any input...

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:48 PM

Yeah, that's what I think is going on

ReapDaddy•12/31/24, 10:48 PM

What is the best WWI simulator out there that plays well with the Rhino and FFB? I saw the IL-2 Flying Circus one but I don't think I want the Base game unless people recommend it as worthy.

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:48 PM

Thank you very much for helping me with a sanity check though

WWhereNoLarkFlew Yeah, that's what I think is going on

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:48 PM

i had an extension with had the DIN5 connector break off into the Rhino base. could be your issue considering the lights

RReapDaddy What is the best WWI simulator out there that plays well with the Rhino and FFB?...

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:49 PM

I don't know if Rise of Flight works with FFB, I doubt it does, but that's the only alternative

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:49 PM

I don't think anything has broken off into the base fortunately.

RReapDaddy What is the best WWI simulator out there that plays well with the Rhino and FFB?...

JIGGAwest•12/31/24, 10:50 PM

DCS and IL-2 is all I'm aware...

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 10:55 PM

Also.. Flying Circus is awesome man, I think it's very much worth it.

JJIGGAwest DCS and IL-2 is all I'm aware...

ReapDaddy•12/31/24, 10:57 PM

Got DCS covered, was feeling that I wanted to use the Rhino with an old biplane and see how they feel in FFB. One of the first videos I saw of a Rhino review the guy was using it with a WWI plane sim and the stick was limp until the airwash straightened out the ailerons. VERY COOL. Hoping there are others that have WWI planes and are using them with the Rhino.

WWhereNoLarkFlew Also.. Flying Circus is awesome man, I think it's very much worth it.

ReapDaddy•12/31/24, 10:58 PM

Awesome. Was getting the Rhino to work with it hard or as seamless as with DCS? Its on sale right now in Steam.

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 11:09 PM

I’ve only flown DCS FFB, but I can’t imagine it’d be difficult to set up

RReapDaddy Got DCS covered, was feeling that I wanted to use the Rhino with an old biplane ...

WhereNoLarkFlew•12/31/24, 11:11 PM

Flying Circus is no different than IL-2 GB, plenty of folks use the rhino there. I suspect you won’t have much if a problem.
