USB lead has enough juice to power the board so its like any other joystick, the electric power is for the motors. So for a total reboot after a firmware upgrade you will need to kill power and disconnect the USB.

Just for information purposes you should hit the E stop. (Leave it down)

Power off both the USB port AND the Rhino power adapter/CPU.

That’s how you shut down a Rhino and now it’s fully disconnected from power.

Turn off the computer and do whatever you want.

Next time before you fire up the sim you turn it all on in the opposite direction.

So we start with the computer.

Next we turn on the USB port (and the rhino will beep as the main board gets power)

Next we turn on the Rhino CPU, which powers the actual motors.

Last we start the sim.

Now use the E stop to activate/release the Rhino.

Good to go every time but for sure make sure to power it down 100% and to cut the power to the board with a USB switch (or just unplug it).

VVRFGiPJP Oh i see

TTheAmazinGreat Not sure what you mean

Reed•2/14/25, 3:37 PM

If you are in game. Let’s say the 58 or oh6. You push stick all the way to the left or right. The physical stick will touch the limiter of the rhino way before the in game stick. Confirmed with controls indicator. However if you hold the trim release or use beep trim the physical stick matches the ingame stick and both go the full deflection.

TheAmazinGreat•2/14/25, 3:45 PM

When you are in configurator, does the blue dot show that it goes to the edge of the box in the input viewer? If not, then that is what is happening most likely.

TheAmazinGreat•2/14/25, 3:48 PM

Position is sensed off the rotation of the motor, not the rotation or position of the stick. Imagine if you had 0 spring (trim released) and put the motor to the left stop and then slowly turned up spring while holding the physical stick against the left stop. Any flex in the system will allow the motor to spin back toward center, but the physical stick stays on the stop. Since the motor is back toward center it tells the game that the virtual stick is back toward center though your physical stick is at the stop.

Reed•2/14/25, 4:10 PM

The blue dot does not make it to the edge when just pushing the stick under force. It only goes to the edge when holding trim release and all the forces are null or beep trim is used.

Reed•2/14/25, 4:10 PM

ok makes sense, so I need to use the force comp ?

Yes, the default profile has some built in, but you may need to adjust depending on your setup.

Hi everyone. Brand new VPForce user here. Installed my Rhino today along with TelemFFB. Everything appears to be working (at least at a basic level), but my Simhaptic appears to have stopped working. It is showing telemetry signals, but no effects are being output to my butthaker or Ushake pad. I presume it has something to do with a LUA entry, but I'm not savvy enough to figure it out.

TonyDarkZero•2/16/25, 9:47 AM

I have a Winwing F16 grip, I understand the wiring orientation is different to Thrustmaster standard (which is not an issue for me) is the Winwing grip compatible with the Rhino FFB base?

Bob Bushman•2/16/25, 10:22 AM

With adapter, you can get that with the base when your numbers up.

DirtySanchez228•2/16/25, 1:00 PM

hello everyone,
since yesterday i have following problem with my rhino: as soon as i push my stick to the left or right the motor disconnects. if i reduce the gain controller to about 60% it won't disconnect. But before it was ok also with 100% master gain. with less than 100% the force is too soft. any solution?

DirtySanchez228•2/16/25, 1:12 PM

DirtySanchez228•2/16/25, 1:12 PM

after update to the latest firmware it always diconnects

DirtySanchez228•2/16/25, 1:23 PM

ok, after factory reset the problem was still present.
after disabling inertia and friction the problem is gone. enabling either one or both the motor disconnects.
so i will stay with both functions off.

would be nice if someone can help with this problem. maybe something is broken/faulty inside?

DirtySanchez228•2/16/25, 3:43 PM

also the power supply connector is very lose (not the usb cable). i have to make sure that it's not slipped out by its own

DoubleD•2/16/25, 4:48 PM

I was flying in DCS when the motors on my Rhino cut out, and position information on the stick was not being passed to the game anymore. I tried to reset the motors under the Configurator debug tab, but there is some rapid beeping accompanied by the attached communication timeout indication. All the buttons on the stick still work.

The e-stop doesn't appear to do anything, up or down. The configurator is reading the potentiometer knob state.
