VKB Glatiator NXT Rudder Not Working

[Animl-AW]

1st flight, second pull on trigger, first kill with it. Yup different level for sure

When I got mine, I had a 3 kill sortie first time out. It was all downhill after that with multiple yard sales with P-38 parts hanging from trees.


It'll be an interesting time while I learn to use pedals. Line up for the easy kills, you murderers!

Using the VKB WW2 stick, pedals and throttle...haven't run into any issues, really love this setup. Switched over from Logitech G940

Part of the thing with these sticks is the ability to swap grips on a base, definitely not a bad thing. Because of that, you have to flash it with the correct firmware for whatever combination of grip and base you have connected. For example, I have a Gunfighter MKI base with the MKI black box and an MCG-Pro grip. There's a slew of different firmwares for the Gunfighter MKI including different ones for the MCG-Pro w/twist and non-twist like mine. Gotta make sure you're flashing the right one for everything to work. Then once you've done that and calibrated it's pretty much set it and forget it (tm Ron Popiel). Like I said, I hadn't even opened Devconfig in a while. Looked late last night and I haven't updated it or the firmware in over a year. Filed under if it ain't broke.

As I said, I'm not using all these softwares to map things at all once I found a way to consolidate all my controllers with a combination of vJoy, HIDhide and Joystick Gremlin. One profile for them all now.

I certainly didn’t mean to give the stick a bad rap. It was me being feeble minded.

When I saw how easy the first kill on the first flight second trigger pull I was glad i finally bought.

The rest of the night I was fighting 20k groups so, can’t expect much from that in kills. Dolby ended up saving my butt being ganged in 262.

Once I learned all I had to do was calibrate in Dev Cfg, I didn’t need it anymore. Totally happy with it. Changed the springs to #10, tweaked the damper screws, dumped the nose bounce, I’m in the ball park now. Tiny tweaks to be done after using in it a while.

I couldn’t justify Virpil fir one sim, but I’m good

Killer help AS USUAL, kudos!

Still trying to adapt muscle memory to the new stick. Still used to trying to correct over-steering of the last stick. But its falling in place. Since I’m not fighting the stick so much I went back to manual trim adjustments, using more rudder and flaps.

The VKB NXT Gladiator base saw s the smoothest gimbal I ever felt in a stick. Virpil may be smoother.. For me, its perfect. I changed springs to #10, tweaked the analog damping, $120 was well spent.

Now if I can just work on my skills instead of fighting a stick.

Tip:

Not that I would know ANYTHING about it <innocent smile>, if you flash your firmware wrong, here is the steps to clear the set the firmware back to default.

Disconnect the USB cable from the BB (Base), run the VKBDevCfg, press and hold the button on the BB, re-connect the USB cable to BB; when new device shows up in Device List release the BB button. Try to re-flash this way.
