Hey guys. I'm loving my pre-built Rhino except for the fact that I'm using a 200mm virpil extension

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.

The constellation grip attached to the rhino. Very weird. I haven’t changed anything

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?

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.

f14billy•1/14/25, 3:43 PM

Yes that's the one.

Ff14billy Yes that's the one.

maleioch•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.

maleioch•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.

f14billy•1/14/25, 4:54 PM

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

grip type in configurator must be set for loopback.
loopback app must be running and set to tie your black-box to your Rhino

CaiJ•1/14/25, 7:15 PM

where is the loopback app located

Fr4Ged•1/14/25, 7:29 PM

In the Rhino configuration app in the drop down list where to chose the type of grip

CaiJ•1/14/25, 7:36 PM

oh ok i thought there was a seperate app you needed

CCaiJ oh ok i thought there was a seperate app you needed

It is a separate app, the exe is in the same folder with the configurator exe.

Hey,
Since the last update of TelemFFB, the VP configurator behaves very strange.
It takes several seconds till I got the device selection window. And then switching between the devices inside the configuration takes also very long. Sometimes they are not initialized correctly in the configurator.
Can anyone else confirm this problem or can someone help?

Sounds like USB driver/hardware related issues - try rebooting

It’s since several sessions. So many reboots have been inbetween.
Maybe isolating the USBs of the VP force devices leads to a solution.

walmis•1/15/25, 8:27 AM

Is it via USB hub?

Wwalmis Is it via USB hub?

[OR] SerGeant•1/15/25, 8:47 AM

Yes.I have a simpit with 11 USB devices.
But I have not changed a thing. It has been running without issues since I first plugged the rhino in. 2 years ago.

walmis•1/15/25, 8:48 AM

It could be various reasons - for example Windows update updated something

For the Rhino base. Yeah for sure there is. All the stl etc are on github.

Blackrat•1/16/25, 1:55 PM

Already rotated, but I literally pulled it up just enough to rotate 180 degrees without fouling the seating area so never saw a wire or what was underneath. If I have an issue I will strip it down, but tested with my TM grip and all buttons work.
