« on: August 28, 2025, 12:54:04 PM »
Ordered and received stick in less than a week
Game recognizes stick
Very smooth but rudders function is backward,right is left, left is right
I cannot get drivers to download keep getting blocked by me media player
Spent several hours with ms support made it to third tier tec,updated drivers game clarity is just great.
Anyone no way to bypass ms media player

While I do suggest downloading the VKB configurator software and calibrating the stock there first, I might suggest reversing the rudders in the AH controls > advanced panel and checking the "reverse inputs" box or whatever its called for the rudders. If all you are playing is AH, that may be all you need rather than wrangling the VKB configurator-which is a pretty powerful and complex piece of software.

Invert axis in AH Advanced scaling section for that rudder axis

Edit:
You also may want to enable scaling for the rudder and set all sliders about 45%, straight across.

  After over a week impressions
Far smoother than X56
Unhappy with one hat switch ordered new grip for $70 dollars but wait DHL shipping $31 dollars after 5 days notified tariffs $44,So my new grip ends up costing more than I Paid for stick.
If it doesn't ship from amazon you will pay extra.
On climb out I like to fly away from target until I am 50% desired attack altitude back over field. In long sweeping turns pretty much peg the vsi.
I am unhappy with quick adjustments while in gun site.
Still playing with dead band and damping.
My hit percentage has dropped off fly strictly attack mode now.
In practice arena rocket hits about 90%
On start up have to plug unplug usb this is intermittent pc doesn't recognize
Changed spring's for lighter feel.
Waiting for new grip before I contact VKB
