Yes the files are available for the housing and a couple of gimbal options. Hope someone can link them to you. I just had my parts made by @SR-FWinger[73]_David since I didn't want to go through the hassle of it

f14billy•1/6/25, 2:14 AM

Also if tightening the screws that connect the pulley to the ball bearings doesn't fix it you will have to take the bottom wall out and maybe even remove the motors to see if you can tighten the screws that put the gimbal together.

It you decide to do it yourself make sure the front 80mm fan is 5v and not 12V or it won't be able to cool those big motors well. Big difference in cooling them.

elijahautisticOP•1/6/25, 2:23 AM

5v instead of 12v ? Wouldn't the 5v be less powerful ?

f14billy•1/6/25, 2:29 AM

The board provides 12v so the 5v would spin way faster. Just have a spare in case it dies faster lol. I have no issues at all.

f14billy•1/6/25, 2:30 AM

In the configuration it's set to only send 70% max so it works great.

elijahautisticOP•1/6/25, 2:39 AM

Ooooh, that's useful to know, thanks for telling it to me !

C4N4DN•1/6/25, 3:42 AM

Solved. I had to remove the top plate and really get at the main screws that run through the main roll bearing

C4N4DN•1/6/25, 3:43 AM

You cant get to them unless you remove the top plate and get that extra angle out of the stick.

Hey, bumping this after holiday/weekend. Anyone have any ideas? https://discordapp.com/channels/965234441511383080/968208779084701716/1324801644399165590 @walmis maybe this is more of a you question since at this point it looks like the problem might be in the Rhino itself and mine was a bit of a one-off?

walmis•1/6/25, 3:41 PM

Hey, the Rhino only supplies 5V to the grip connector other wires are pass-through. A few things to check:
1. Is your Grip set to Disabled or Loopback?
2. Is the USB voltage more than ~4.8V?

IIRC last time there was the issue with a bad USB voltage

Wwalmis Hey, the Rhino only supplies 5V to the grip connector other wires are pass-throu...

Stal2k•1/6/25, 3:45 PM

Yes, this was awhile ago and it was an issue with an unpowered USB hub. Nothing has changed in terms of the connectivity chain, so it's still hooked up with a powered USB hub that previously worked. The grip is set to disabled, which iirc was the only option that worked with the passthrough you put in.

for the terminals on the GX connector, this is the correct order - 1. Ground 2. Data 3. Clock 4. Latch? I did make a new cable, I could have gotten something mixed up there, but the connections are all solid. I wasn't sure if it was at the point I should start testing through the device via multimeter like you had me do previouly or if there was another type of test I could do that is more helpful.

walmis•1/6/25, 3:49 PM

Yeah probably something is mixed up, if all buttons are solid it most likely could be Data is swapped with GND

Llama_Thumper•1/6/25, 3:49 PM

Guys, apologies for the NOOB question. I am finally setting up my Rhino FFB for first tries with IL2. Whilst configuring the keys I noticed that my axis are being recognised as buttons. Do you know of which way to fix this/what setting this may be?

walmis•1/6/25, 3:50 PM

Which axis?

Stal2k•1/6/25, 3:51 PM

Can you verify that terminal numbers I posted above is correct from the Rhino side (1. Ground 2. Data 3. Clock 4. Latch)?

Wwalmis Which axis?

Llama_Thumper•1/6/25, 3:52 PM

thanks - both - please take into account I'm a complete NOOB as to the Rhino, ie have connected it via USB, updated firwmare, opened the configuration software to calibrate axis but literally nothing else so I'm probably missing some basic step (for which apologies)

Stal2k•1/6/25, 3:52 PM

I suppose I could just test it through the device, but where I have it mounted now it's not super easy to get into the back of it without undoing a lot of fasteners lol. I hope it's just a switched wire.

Llama_Thumper•1/6/25, 3:56 PM

(may be something IL2 related - don't spend too much time on this, will just restart / mess around a bit and then come back here if I don't solve this - thought this may be an obvious setting/issue so wanted to ask)

LLlama_Thumper thanks - both - please take into account I'm a complete NOOB as to the Rhino, ie...

walmis•1/6/25, 3:57 PM

You'll need to provide a little bit more context, as it's hard to understand what's actually wrong here. X and Y axis have no axis-to-button functionality, so it may be something not done correctly in IL2 ( I don't have much IL2 experience myself, someone might be more helpful)

Llama_Thumper•1/6/25, 3:57 PM

no worries, will check it out. thanks!

Grumpy•1/6/25, 4:01 PM

I have had a recurring issue (3 times) over the last three days that one of my motors stopped working in flight. I reset it and it seemed to fix it, until it happened twice more. I have had the Rhino for almost a year and it has never occurred prior. Any ideas on what may be going on?

Good morning everyone!! Have any of you had the same problem as me, that the DCS F4 once in the flight tends to violently To go up high, and your Rhino apparently responds consistently?

TheAmazinGreat•1/7/25, 2:39 PM

A slightly forward trim is pretty normal for F4 in level flight. I do find that depending on the mission with an air start the trim isn’t perfect on load and the commanded position at the “Fly” screen is different than when it comes off of pause.

TheAmazinGreat•1/7/25, 2:40 PM

I tend to hold the stick when it loads in, then active pause and click fly. Trim to where I think it should be and then unpause. Seems to help. It does do a jolt no matter what once the briefing page loads.

Hi all, im having trouble doing a firmware update to the unit I just purchased of my mate, he said it would need one.

When I connect it to my PC the PC detects it and it show's under game controllers, when I go to the following web https://vpforcecontrols.com/usb/rhino/site and click connect it comes up with a msg saying No compatible devices found, so I cant update the firmware

How do I get the web page to detect it ??

Hi im getting some where now, I have connected a Thrustmaster stick to the base, I have it connected via the https://vpforcecontrols.com/usb/rhino/

But it doesn't show what firmware it has and wont let me update it.

The VPForce v1.0.16 connects and shows Firmware 1.0.15

Do I need to update the firmware ??
