@Spelljammer1 yes, dropped yesterday and seems to work fine.

Shear hear, works well.
JOK, dumb question - New firmware allows LED on VPC stuff to change. How do we do this..?
JAm I missing the area on VPConf?
NNew firmware + new configurator. Need both.
JBoth done.
JFound it. lol, oops
JI've noticed my base is getting a lot of "interference" it seems. it will randomly throw button presses in and I'm not sure if it's the base/cable or what is going on. pedals arent doing it.
RCalibrate all the axis of the grip itself and apply/store settings. @Jehly
WWhich grip?
RI had the problem with the FLANKR Grip. Button presses of the mini stick end positions would randomly be activated. Calibrating the axis of the mini stick solved the problem.
THello, maybe a dumb question and I hope this is allowed, I noticed on the VPforce website that components are available separately. Do hobbyists buy for example the FFB Motherboard and then source their own parts ?
WYes, you can buy motor kits to implement your own mechanics. The motherboard by itself is not very useful - it needs to be coupled with 1 or 2 motors (for pedals, joystick respectively)
FFYI, the kit is board + motors, you cannot source your own motors
T@walmis @Fierce_Fire thanks for prompt reply, one last question please, I see there are STL. files available on Printables and GitHub (protomaker964 / Rhino-FFB-Clone-3D_Printed), are these useable or is there another source? Thanks
JI’ll try it out!
TMost of the DIY Rhino’s you see come from the GitHub (protomaker but also gadroc has one)
RI did both and can’t see it
F
JI also had a hard time seeing it. Only after I said something it popped out and I felt dumb
TThanks I have a look, do you know if 57BLF03 motors are off the shelf or custom?
TJust got this thing set up with configurator and TelemFFB for the first time. Dumb question: does the stick not behave like a conventional spring base and want to go fully back to center if you stop pushing? I feel like I'm holding it in place in a large dead zone until there are g-forces to push me away.
KI apologize if this isn't the right place for this sort of question, but is the Rhino's base heavy enough that I wouldn't need to bolt it in place with a 200mm stick extension? or must I plan to have some way to fasten it to the floor?
FYou'd at least need to weigh it down a lot more else it would tipple especially with the leverage of the extension
RYup I don’t remember seeing that last night I’ll take another look.
FWoo just put my DIY kit request in 
JAnyone know if it's possible to downgrade firmware?
RI found it. the led. nice
TThe motors have a special anti cogging code so you have to use the motors from VPforce with the kit.
WCan someone tell me this is correct for the VPforce configuration part, because I'm having a little trouble, and it's to use the Vpforce rhino for dcs?
W
FWhat is your issue with using it for DCS?
WI have two indications in red at the bottom right, is this serious?
FCan you screenshot it?
Wok I'll capture it right away

TYou might have to slip your belts off so the centre value is more correct. Read the note about centre value.
TThe red number is your centre value.
Wso I remove the belts and I continue the adjustments, is that it?
WCould someone tell me the procedure to follow to re-center my motors with respect to the belts, to have a better centering value?
N- remove belt
- manually set min/max to 0/4096, Apply
- enable spring, motor will center
- put belt back on with stick centered on axis
- Run auto calibration, apply, store
Center doesn't need to be exactly 2048... just need to be sure that the range of motion is within 0->4096
- manually set min/max to 0/4096, Apply

RWould it be good to design or 3-D print a jig that keeps the stick dead center for this process is probably not needed but could be helpful almost like 2/2 squares like a coupling that slides into the plate or someone has a degree limiter installed.
RIt would almost be like printing, a 0° limiter so the stick doesn’t move at all if those are in place why you’re doing thiscenter reset
TSome of the DIY files have one included.
ROh really. Did not know this.

Mdesigned a plate to fit me rhino's QR base on my rig
Mfirst time ever touching cad, this was fun
Wit's good I managed to correct the centering values, tell me if this is good now for the first configuration step
