Hardware and Software / Re: VKB Rotary encoder on NXT joystick?

« Last post by Bizman on Today at 01:02:30 AM »

I got a windows Warning when I tried to install the config software so I backed off installing it but will try again.

The small blue screen telling that Windows can't authenticate the program that's being installed? If that happens when you've just clicked the "install" button of a software and if you believe said software comes from a legit source (downloaded from the manufacturer's website instead of "Harry Hacker's fool proof apps for <apply name of your device>", you can most often continue "at your own risk".

FWIW I've got those warnings even when trying to install Microsoft's very own software! That may be due to a hiccup in their evaluation server or simply a poorly hidden attempt to try to force people using their Store only.

What's this?

It takes more to drop an ammo bunker now. It was too easy to use a single fighter to drop all the ammo.

I've noticed recently that many never hit the city before hitting strats and usually don't hit anything and fail over and over when things come up to fast during a base take.

Friday Squad Operations / Re: No more inferences in objectives please

I find it odd to have to explicitly say certain aircraft may not take ordnance. "Ordnance is enabled on X and Y" is clear enough, I feel. But, if you lawyer it to death, perhaps it is not.

Either way, the CM Team is surely apologetic for the confusion and will be thoughtful of it in the future.

For a time I used it for zooming maps. I upgraded to the Gunfighter and the STECS and thus, using a different encoder-in fact I found a couple of spare buttons in a better spot to use instead. A matter of taste. Don't let the complexity of the VKB software scare you off as it does amazing stuff. Plenty of YouTube vids out there to guide you. Their Discord channel will also help you immensely if you need it..... You won't. I've tried it all and they along with Virpil are tops.
