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.

Your hand and arm.

Mmaleioch Is there a setting that will "dampen" the stick falling forward when DCS closes?...

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

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!

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.

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 turner•1/13/25, 7:19 AM

Will double check, cheers

mark turner•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 turner•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?

Ourorborus•1/13/25, 11:32 PM

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

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.

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

H145Rotor-Sims•1/14/25, 12:25 PM

If you are planning going to 86 motors you'll need to change the base. It's not that hard.

Rocco Thamanoidis•1/14/25, 1:20 PM

Just give it a bit deadzone and adjust your static force or balance spring until its centered. Also update to the latest build 1.017b12.

Rocco Thamanoidis•1/14/25, 1:22 PM

Thats what I use currently. Note I use the sticky option for Spring, so I can override the ingame ffb, which I have switched off.

f14billy•1/14/25, 2:58 PM

Your pot1 is at 0.8%. If you have it assigned to spring gain then you have no spring force to center it. You can see if it's assigned to something in the settings tab under Pot#1 function.

f14billy•1/14/25, 3:03 PM

Also friction is very high. A screenshot of your settings tab would help.

Yes that's the one.

Ff14billy Yes that's the one.

maleiochOP•1/14/25, 3:44 PM

Can this be set "per aircraft" as well? For example: to bring the A-10 warthog center back.

f14billy•1/14/25, 3:45 PM

You would have to see if telemffb has that setting in the aircraft's profile.

maleiochOP•1/14/25, 3:47 PM

Okay. So this is "global" in the VpForce but may be doable in telemffb. I'll dig into this. Thank you.

There are no endstop settings in TelemFFB, but you can use the Dynamic Configurator Profile Assignement feature to push a profile when a specific aircraft is loaded.

Maybe static force is getting in the way. I would disable it and then make sure you calibrate the balance spring well.
