My stick's hardware trim in dcs is not working.compare with my pedals,the loaded effect is not the same (without telemffb).My pedals hardware trim work fine.And here is my config setting.

DeadlyMercury•1/18/25, 6:22 AM

Ok, seems fixed.
There is a file 'data\input\joys.ffp' in game folder, this file describes FFB configuration for different devices.

I've copied "default" section, renamed "default" into "VPforce", while in axis map in all three secions (constant, periodic, condition) I changed "0" to "-0" similar to g940 configuration in this file. Not sure if it is correct way to deal with this problem, but now ffb input on X axis is normal and stick follows the trim.

if the game isn't even creating its effects when you start it, something more fundamental is wrong. There are no settings in configurator that would prohibit that. When the game starts, just sitting in the menu, you should see the 3 loaded effects (like you do on your pedals screenshot).

Check the DCS log to see what it says about the joystick. You should see something like this:

INPUT (Main): created [VPforce Rhino FFB Joystick] with full id [VPforce Rhino FFB Joystick {D2609390-E86C-11ed-8001-444553540000}], ForceFeedBack: yes, guidFFDriver: {EEC6993A-B3FD-11d2-A916-00C04FB98638}

Also in the same section, look to see if it is loading 'vJoy Device'. If you see that, disable or uninstall vJoy as it can cause problems with FFB.

If all the above is normal, it could be a USB issue. If your using a hub, try connecting your joystick directly to your PC.

Unless this is a new issue with IL2... you're the first person I've ever seen have this problem, so I think there is something else going on. Is it happening on all aircraft or just some?

To be clear, if your configurator axis inversion settings are set correctly (such that the axis position readout follows your joystick in the correct directions), then the "FFB Direction" and "Axis Direction" will be in sync. In DCS for example, there is only a handful of aircraft that need FFB inverted on an axis ('FFTune', not the axis itself). Almost all will work fine without changing the inversion settings in the game at all.

For IL2, I've never heard of having to invert anything so long as configurator is set correctly.

It works now. two things i had changed.First ,i use the old version rhino loopback software to enable my diy grip button,the new version will make the ffb not work. Second It should be some usb issue that make my Real Simulator stick have some collision with the Rhino FFB。i change another usb slot to connect RS stick。

DeadlyMercury•1/18/25, 2:23 PM

Yes, it was on multiple aircrafts, so I would assume on every one with roll trims.
Maybe it's not exactly device issue but il-2 issue, some people had "weird" stuff with ffb and in one case a person deleted everything from input folder to fix it. Additionally it's interesting that g940 "by default" defined by game developers have similar -0 setting, so it's not "their first rodeo" I would assume. Again, I never had issues with g940 in the past.

I believe in configuration utility it is set correctly, by default I had X axis inverted and Y not inverted, both X and Y directions were correct. When I placed joystick the opposite way for gimbal to be closer to the chair - I inverted Y and removed inversion from X, again in configuration utility / windows tester and so on orientation was / is correct. There is a chance that my device is special and by default both axis should not be inverted, but I think I received same settings when I tried default profile downloaded from the rhino webpage, so I doubt that.

Additionally in both Il-2 and DCS when I assign pitch and roll - orientation is also correct, I don't need to invert anything in game. So the only thing that was inverted is FFB in roll / X axis and only in Il-2, no issues with DCS.
Not sure what is that and still looking for comments on Il-2 forum, but at least config is working and I am happy with that. And would definitely not happy to delete everything from input folder, too late for that.

CaptainNel•1/18/25, 4:20 PM

when im not running ingame, if i move the stick vigorously, i get this fault and have to power it off and on, any ideas? only on the x motor, i can move the y motor as fast and hard as i want and it works fine. Also in the X axis I sometimes feel a "slipping" sensation when the stick is under pressure, like the motor is giving in the direction of the hold but the GUI stick position shows the same. Every effect is turned off except for adaptive recentering and a force trim keybind in telemFFB

50% spring
35% damper

Bug?: VPC V.F.X. DLC up/down buttons. Periodically when I start VPForce FFB the DLC up/down buttons on my V.F.X. are not recognized, e.g. they do not initialize and are not recognized by OS. I have to stop/restart VPForce FFB Configurator (sometimes multiple times) for the buttons to be eventually recognized. Stoping and restarting VPForce FFB Configurator seems to always fix the issue, but anoying that I have to do a pre-flight on the controller in VPForce FFB Configurator before jumping into a SIM.

Screws

C4N4DN•1/18/25, 11:54 PM

C4N4DN•1/18/25, 11:56 PM

I was able to tighten them without disassembling the gimbal. I just went at it with a screwdriver.

slowmover•1/19/25, 9:57 AM

I have build my own FFB rhino with designs i found on web. The design i used had Bolts and Nuts. After a 1.5 year of use every screw was almost loose!!! I disassembled it all and started again from the beginning,Now i will print another design which has threaded inserts and i am going to use LOCTITE glue for threads.

my trim in game is working like it should but my stick is moving back physically when i trim nose down and when i trim nose up my stick is moving foward?

seems to be opposite of what i want i have turn base around and click invert so that works but trim seems backwards for the stick movement?

You must install VPFORCE configurator. For the effects in game, you must install TelemFFB.

To sum up:

You configure your Rhino via the configurator. Calibration first, then basic effects (spring, damper, friction...). Check the manual for details.
Then you can run telemffb for in-game effects. It's all very personal, but a word of advice: don't use too many effects to start with. Then adjust according to your needs and preferences.

Hey guys, my bottom mounting plate in my rhino is broken, and I need to print a new one. I found one online that looked the same and it didn’t fit by some slight dimensions. Can anyone lead me to the correct model?

exil35•1/19/25, 5:08 PM

Hey guys, looking for some help here. I've build my own Rhino pedals. Without the motor, the pedals are moving very lightweight.
With the motor attached but still off, there is a bit of resistance, but still okay.
Once i power on the motor, i need a lot of force to actually move the pedals.
In the VP Configurator everything (springs, dampening, etc.) is turned off. The motor is online, USB is connected and i can calibrate the axis.
But i still have this high force requirement to actually move the pedals. As a sidenote, tuning the spring slider and such doesn't do anything.
What am i doing wrong?

Chris•1/19/25, 5:26 PM

Control board is the one from Walmis? Maybe some break force is misscalibrated?

Play with the natural dampening compensation value. Increase it and it should relieve the dampening you are feeling. If you increase it too far it will act like it is amplifying your inputs. You’ll find a value that makes it feel pretty free floating.

Thanks. I already tried that as well with no effect. It's like all the settings i do in VPForce Configurator are dead somehow. Although, it's recognizing the postion.

smitty•1/19/25, 5:57 PM

i see a little bit of identifier "joystick" in the bottom

smitty•1/19/25, 5:58 PM

have right device selected?

exil35•1/19/25, 5:59 PM

Yeah, it's named joystick. But i didn't connect the Rhino base (stick) for testing purposes.

smitty•1/19/25, 6:01 PM

maybe with master & spring at 0, natural damping can't do its thing. put those sliders to 100 save & store

smitty•1/19/25, 6:03 PM

is this a 57 or 86 motor

exil35•1/19/25, 6:03 PM

Yeah, already tried that. Sadly without any effect.
It's a 86.

smitty•1/19/25, 6:04 PM

and you said with belt removed its mechanically happy?

exil35•1/19/25, 6:04 PM

Stangely it doesn't have a device firmware. Don't know if that's okay...(i changed the name to "pedals" by the way)

smitty•1/19/25, 6:05 PM

hmm that might do it

Ssmitty and you said with belt removed its mechanically happy?

exil35•1/19/25, 6:05 PM

Yeah, without the belt they are moving freely.

smitty•1/19/25, 6:05 PM

i'd try to get that FW set before doing anything else

exil35•1/19/25, 6:06 PM

But i can't update the firmware somehow. But i remeber that i did that previously.

Nevermind...was the browser. With edge, it detects the FW.
