Where did you place the app? I know Windows has some protections feature which "repair" app located in "Program Files" and "Program Files(x86)".
Or is it a folder where some kind of replication is configured like OneDrive, GoogleDrive, DropBox etc.?

Thanks, I will try this

mark turnerOP•1/11/25, 9:54 AM

I also, just now, had the stick cut out....was not a USB disconnect, the motors went offline ( red text in VPconf software) This is the first time I have ever had this happen, they were not overloaded, the fans were not on either.....Is there a log that I can post or look at to see whats happenening? Somewhat worrying, as thats the last thing I need to start happening. Been faultless since I got it as well......

The filters are probably a bit too tight for the high spring gains and loop instability starts occurring, try reducing vel estimator gainvel estimator gain a bit (5 counts), it should help.

walmis•1/11/25, 10:28 AM

can you attach your vpconf profile? I'll try to reproduce

walmis•1/11/25, 10:29 AM

btw, why is your balance spring negative?

mark turnerOP•1/11/25, 1:14 PM

Hi Walmis, here is the profile

mark turnerOP•1/11/25, 1:17 PM

Balance is negative as that was the figure that kept the stick roughly where I placed it, when it was forwards of centre position when I was doing the calibration process as shown in the video that was linked. A positive figure, or less than -20 , the stick would go full forwards if I placed it anywhere forward of centre

mark turnerOP•1/11/25, 1:19 PM

Thanks for the gain suggestion, have implemented and will see what happens

mark turnerOP•1/11/25, 1:22 PM

For context, I have the stick mounted backwards ( pots at front) and am using a virpil Z extension, so the grip is a lot offset from centre.

smitty•1/11/25, 2:34 PM

do you have a startup profile set in telemffb?

mark turnerOP•1/11/25, 3:17 PM

negative

mark turnerOP•1/11/25, 3:17 PM

looks same as your screemgrab

Reed•1/11/25, 4:23 PM

Man I am a dumbass. I’ve been running my max psu Amps at 4.0. I’m not sure when that number got changed. I recently saw the stock psu max is 9.0. So I bumped number in the software up to 7.0. Wow. What a difference. I really forgot how powerful the stock rhino can be.

maleioch•1/11/25, 5:23 PM

Is there a setting that will "dampen" the stick falling forward when DCS closes? Right now, when the spring is released it falls forward with a "thud". I have an extension on mine.

Bob Bushman•1/11/25, 5:32 PM

Your hand and arm.

smitty•1/11/25, 5:42 PM

make a weak spring and stronger dampening in configurator's effects tab. these take over when the game isnt running

smitty•1/11/25, 5:43 PM

Reed•1/11/25, 6:15 PM

I just know mine is going to fall and brace it.

Sharkku•1/11/25, 6:41 PM

Hi! I just tried to update firmware, but it just hung on "updating". The button just kept being greyed out. Now the stick doesn't work and the software says "disconnected" and "Rhino firmware: none". Have I bricked it?

Edit: It worked after a restart and re-update of firmware. Phew!

Ourorborus•1/12/25, 3:57 AM

Is there a keybind for the "reset Motors" function? If not can I make it a feature request? Occasionally (particularly when getting the settings right for a new aircraft) I find the motors overload and require resetting. This requires getting out of VR, leaving the simpit, alt-tabbing from the the sim(possibly mid-flight) to reset. A simple keybind would be fantastic.

TheAmazinGreat•1/12/25, 1:00 PM

Are you clicking apply or are you clicking store? If you click apply it’s temporary and will revert. You should hear two chirps from the board when clicking store. I usually click both apply and store for good measure.

Dracks•1/12/25, 1:35 PM

You're sure you don't load a specific profile at startup ? Settings menu (VP config app)

Dracks•1/12/25, 1:36 PM

Because you're issue is strange ! A file/folder don't modify itself (but because update/writing or thing like that)

Dracks•1/12/25, 1:37 PM

I say this in all benevolence! (I translate my thoughts into English)

Dracks•1/12/25, 1:40 PM

(And check what TheAmazinGreat said)

walmis•1/12/25, 2:01 PM

I wasn't able to reproduce it - so it's probably like @Dracks said - my guess is telemFFB is configured to load a FFB profile on startup?

mark turnerOP•1/13/25, 7:19 AM

Will double check, cheers

mark turnerOP•1/13/25, 3:02 PM

I found that telemFFB is loading a version of a config, so changed that. What was strange was that the version it loads has no effects boxes ticked, in the balance spring section, which is greyed out, I can see the settings are all at 20%. So when it loads that config, it also somehow checks the box to make balance spring section active.

mark turnerOP•1/13/25, 3:03 PM

However, my stick motors did need re setting again today, I have reduced by 5% the suggested setting, but it is obviously not doing the trick......any ideas?

Rocco Thamanoidis•1/13/25, 6:21 PM

I'll try that too.

walmis•1/13/25, 6:24 PM

Hmm, do those faults happen on idle or during spring forces? Which ones are you hitting the red stop button and resetting and which happen randomly? Do you have the latest firmware b12 installed?

RReed Click to see attachment

Ourorborus•1/13/25, 11:32 PM

Yes that one. Is there a way to map a keybind for it?

TTheAmazinGreat Have you tried cycling the e-stop?

Ourorborus•1/13/25, 11:33 PM

I'll give it a go but I think that disconnects the device entirely

Weird issue. My lights on the virpil constellation grip came on, they've been off since swapping to rhino, how do I turn them back off. Also the grip is no longer found the virpil software.

Ourorborus•1/14/25, 2:18 AM

Do you mean the constellation grip attached to the rhino or the constellation plugged in as well as the rhino? If the latter have you tired differnt usb ports. Virpil can sometimes not play well with usb3

Rocco Thamanoidis•1/14/25, 2:59 AM

They most of the time happen on low demand situations. Yes, b12. And to reset I push the stop button and unlock it again. If I unlock it too quickly it acts like it's not ready to start up again. But it always recovers its functions.

Ipsissmus•1/14/25, 3:10 AM

Hey guys. I'm loving my pre-built Rhino except for the fact that I'm using a 200mm virpil extension with tm F/18-18 grip (heavy af and lots of leverage) so I would like more force. If I buy a set of the 86BLF motors how much change to the housing would I need to make? I have a meanwell 12v 50amp psu coming in to try increasing the power a bit to the 57BLF's, but I know there isn't much headroom for them before they start to overheat.

TheAmazinGreat•1/14/25, 11:30 AM

I can’t comment on how much the power supply will make a difference but you would want a 24V and most people for DIY kits are getting the 14.5 amp meanwell LRS-350-24

I/JG7_Moto•1/14/25, 12:12 PM

I have the Rhino, like it very much , but during long dogfights, the stick forces just fade away, how hard would it be to upgrade to the more powerfull motors and install them on my current RHINO?

So every time I start Telem and VP conf, I have to reset the balance spring part.....
