NI cut up some command strips. Never moved until I took them off.
LHey all, I got 1h40m into a DCS campaign mission yesterday when my Rhino suddenly disconnected in the middle of a Case III approach. The stick went limp and there were no inputs reaching the game. I pressed and reset the emergency stop and unplugged and reconnected the USB cable on the base and it reconnected, but there was no longer any FFB. I restarted TelemFFB and got the periodic effects back, but there were no spring forces. I managed to trap, but wondering if there's anything else I can do to recover from a disconnect and restore all forces in the future. I'm worried about this happening during a multiplayer squadron mission as those often run over 2 hours. Thanks!
TI have never had an issue but someone the other day said that they experienced “random FFB disconnects” similar to what you’re describing.
The issue and fix for this person was Vjoy or joystick gremlin virtual joystick? (One of those) was causing a dual input.
To fix the issue they just disabled “ FFB” check box in the virtual joystick or the Vjoy.
Maybe it was under the support channel so see if you can find it AND double check yourself (if your running any virtual joystick) that the “FFB” is unchecked.
That’s the only thing recently I’ve seen so maybe that’s a start for troubleshooting

LThanks, I appreciate the response. I am using vJoy and Joystick Gremlin, but I just double checked and "Enable Effects" is already disabled in vJoy. I don't see any FFB related options in Joystick Gremlin. I will search the channel for the history though. Thanks again.
RI use vjoy for my pedals, but ffb effects are all disabled there. Two weeks ago I thought I found the solution, in disabling MSFS support in TelemFFB ... then one full week no ffb loss/disconnect. But this week it returned. What a nasty "bug".
OHello a question: if I set the spring to 100% in the ffb configurator, then the maximum stroke distance in y is only half as long. What am I doing wrong or how can I adjust this?
When I send spring off, it's 100% of the total length again

TCheck description of force comp settings. Down by the calibration values. It is shorter due to flex in the system.
JFor me it's a hid disconnect that gets DCS to stop sending FFB effects (spring). Only a DCS restart fixes that. In my case it is PointCTRL, which I painstakingly have to make sure not to reset while dcs is running.
OHardware trim in ffb or the trim in the applications? What is better?
FApplications. Only use the hardware trim as last resort imo.
E.g. the DCS Apache hates being used without its trim. Lol

DHi. My Rhino was working fine yesterday. Today when I turn on the Y axis does not work. I get the error code Faulty Encoder 12C
DPlease someone help
*PointCTRL can take down even my VR sometimes if it's USB connection goes in and out... 
*
*my USB port holder casing just broke... where could I get STL file to re-print it?
W@NOBAries here you go 
usb-flange.zip22.35KB
JGreat, I killed mine as well, glued it together for the time being. Price too pay for a removable setup, I guess.
*it's the cables... I have to rotate base for 180 and flip pitch axis... cause this way me or my son always nudge the cables acidentally...
KYou can also buy 90° angled adapters/cables.
JCould I request views for and against mounting the Rhino on a LONG Monstertech mount on an IKEA desk, with vibration settings turned down very low to avoid it shaking the desk to bits - thanks.
(NB: My personal interest is in the Rhinos realistic trimming and aerofoil pressure NOT sensations of gear or airbrake travelling etc.)

BYou can turn all effects down or even select which ones you want and customise each one, lets face it you can always buy a stronger desk

Fhello, is this compatible with the VPC virpil sticks or do I have to order something more?
ANo, that’s all that’s necessary for a VPC grip
ANo adapters or such required
PEverthing was working fine.
I've open the case to tighten main gimbal screw and remount.
The stick center wasn't correct any longer. So tried a calibration.
But now I'm unable to have motor provide force any longer.
TM warthog buttons works.
I can see stick moves in windows game controller window.
I have try
Reset Firmware defaults.
Auto calibrate.
Master Gain Main 100%
Effects Springs 100%
Everything works, except there is no force, stick can move freely.
Motors have a green light. There is 24V on all pins with screws.
Firware update button cannot be activated even if connected,
may be because FW version is latest one.
I'm lost.
Except return the DIY kit 57BLF03x2 for check I have no idea what to do.

WCan you post a screenshot of your configuration?
PGot your answer per email " your global spring gain is currently at 0% - hence no centering spring force will be available",will try this. Thanks
WDon't forget to "Store Config" so your configuration doesn't reset after device restart
PSolved. Thanks.
PI don't understand how to have a correct center.
1) I turn the pulley to have rawX,rawY belt not installed near to 2048 in Auto calibration
Than apply/store.
2) Mount centering tool. Mount the pulley.
Autocalibration. Apply/store.
And sitck is not center.
Do I have to unscrew the pulley to have stick center (which is impossible for my case,
I need to unmount the motors to have access to pulley tiny screws) at some time ?
With centering tool set as in picture 2, how store 'this is my center' ?

WYou don't have to change anything more physically - your calibration is within 0-4096 bounds, which is good.
Do the auto calibration routine and save the settings.

POk, thanks.
There is no 'store center'.
Center is computed from Xmin/max Ymin/max calibrated.
Correct ?

AYes, correct. You should be able to just press "auto calibrate", read what it says in the box and press OK, move the stick forward, back, left, right, and press the auto calibration button again to exit calibration mode. Then press "store settings" for it to take effect.
Btw, personally I don't see the need of the centering tool but maybe it's me not thinking it through (as long as you are within the one rotation of the motors, at least when connecting/powering on). I didn't use the centering tool when I assembled mine but maybe I'm lucky

Nyour stick is sagging from center, most likely due to grip weight and extension offset (can't see what you've got attached in your photos). Also, your pot is assigned to master gain and set to %50, so you're only getting %50 of whatever spring effect strength you have started in the effects tab.
Spring is weakest at center. You should use the Balancing Procedure to counteract the sag caused by the grip. Once you have that satisfactorily configured, I recommend using the "adaptive recentering" feature in the effects tab spring settings.

BHi guys, does anyone has the 3D print model of the threaded insert to attach the grip when I take it out from the Rhino? I need to be taking it out frequently as I have a flight/racing sim setup and would like to have a nice place to keep the grip near the rig once I take it out instead of the floor
BThank you!
SI’m having issues with telemFFB connecting to DCS. Worked with no issues a few days ago, haven’t changed anything. Any ideas?
DI'm a little stress this morning but you'll find this 3d file in this discord (sub DIY normally). Walmis had linked theses files here
KDo you search this? I'm not sure if I understand you question.

BThis is exactly what I need, thanks @kaltokri !!
BNice solution, already "printed" as well, thanks @Blackrat !
FThere also is a metal variant of that adapter which I would get if I would take the thing off a lot
BI did ordered that one with my Rhino, seems like it came mounted in the Rhino already
MQuick support question regards the VPF shift register…….connected to VPF control board as per schematic provided on this Discord…..and checked with DIMM that connections are sound and correct.
Will it work, that is button presses register in the VP Configurator app if board is only powered by USB……..motors not yet connected with power…….i thought the board itself is powered by USB 5v and so therefore the shift register should work…..right?

BI got the metal one anyway for longevity. plus I may swap between VKB and TM warthog.
TYes, USB connection should be all you need to see button presses.
