The brake lever isn't working.

Am I missing something ? Could anyone help me, please ?

 

Did you calibrate everything, including the brake lever axis?

Here's a howto (refer to pg. 4-5) - see attached.

NJoy32 Family Controllers Configuration Utility User guide - V. 2.9

The updated guide doesn't match what's available in the VKB software, is there a new release of VKBDevCfg that we can get? Would really like to be able to assign a pulse button to the mcg trigger.

After FW update, is it necessary to default before calibration and press the Set button?

 

Steps: 1) Flash, 2) Reset to default, 3) Calibrate.

 

(The Set button is only used if you make changes to button assignments, etc; for these button changes to take effect, you need to click Set to apply them. Also, whenever you do that, you should save everything as a new profile as well)

VictorUs just confirmed that this is for a newer version of VKBdevCfg (v.0.84.90 - see screenshot attached), which is not out yet. The manual (v.2.9) hasn't been officially released yet, either. The current one on the FTP is the 2.8 release.

Rrohde when will the tecs throttle be released?

 

Please use correct thread for that question (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=199002). That question should be directed at VKB HQ (AeroGator or UIV).

This is the only thing really I do not care about with VKB, information seems vague at times and figuring out where to get what software and information wise for the sticks is quite daunting.

In my Gunfighter MCG Pro package two cam profiles were included, the profile 10 was already mounted and there is profile 30 with a more pronounced centering. Shouldn`t there be three profiles included in the purchase or is it normal to have only two included?

I´m asking, because I prefer having centering for the stick, but the profile 30 is too much for my taste. When moving the stick in circles there is too much resistance in certain positions (hard to explain, the stick snaps into the center positions of x and y-axis in circular motion), which reduces the precision.

I think an intermediate profile 20 would be the right choice for me.

Is my package missing the profile 20 or is it possible to order it?

Looking at my black box that came with the Gunfighter I can see four connectors. One is the USB connector, one is for the stick (Gunfighter), one is labeled for pedals and there is a third one labeled as "BUS". This should be the connector for the Throttle unit. So, you should be good to go with the existing black box, if it is the same as mine.

Relevant update:

 

https://vkbcontrollers.com/?p=9860

 

GFP and MCG bumped back to March now.

 

Hi Guys,

 

VKB HQ shared their road map with me in terms of the current product lineup availability:

 

All stand-alone MCG/MCG PRO grips for the Gunfighter Mk.I and Mk.II series have been pushed back to the end of March 2018.

The Gunfighter Mk.II Base Only product has been canceled and got replaced with a new combo called Gunfighter Mk. Base w/ TMW Adapter Kit.

All Gunfighter (Pro) Mk.II combos w/ MCG/MCG PRO or KG12 grip have been pushed back to the end of March 2018.

All Gunfighter Mk.II Extension Kits and TMW Adapter Kits have been pushed back to the end of March 2018.

All Gladiator Pro Mk.II combos w/ MCG/MCG PRO or KG12 grip have been pushed back to May 2018.

The release date for stand-alone MCG/MCG PRO grips for the Black/Fat/Vintage Mamba and Gladiator Pro Mk.I series is currently unavailable (waiting on updates from VKB HQ).

The release date for the stand-alone MCG-TM grip is currently unavailable (waiting on updates from VKB HQ).

Those of you with pending pre-orders affected by these delays should have gotten emails to that effect.

 

Again, sorry about any inconvenience this may cause.

 

The new bundle with TMW adapter sounds relevant to me...plus the “W” cam, designed to compensate for the added weight of the TM Warthog grip for the pitch axis.

This is getting ridiculous!

 

All I need is the dang MCG Pro grip for my VKB setup to be complete.

First was going to be January. ( course that is not even counting initially was going to be summer last year).

Then got pushed to Feb.

Now end of March.

I guess middle of March we will likely see yet another delay announcement.

 

My dang Gunfighter will be a year old and still never used.

Also already invested in an extended Monster Tech Mount for it as well.

I am definitely having regrets now, I probably should have known better...

I just switched to the #30 cams and agree with you. I like the the definite centre, but something in between would probably be perfect.

 

Perhaps VKB could make some #20 cams a future optional purchase? It should be easy enough for them to make up.

Add me to the list I would like to purchase a #20 cam (if made available). I think the current #10 is a little to light the #30 center detente is to aggressive.

Same. I've recommended it in the past, and was told it's unlikely.
That's a shame. I'd like a set of 20's too. Was going to inquire but guess I don't have to now.

I was ready to order the gunfighter pro after having issues with my warthog stick. Yesterday I found out about this delay which really sucks. All I need is the stick and base as I'll still use the warthog throttle. It's too bad, now I'm stuck with a half broken flight stick until thrustmaster sends me parts and I have to repair it myself..and the funny thing is I'm still under warranty and didn't even give me an option to send it in or do an advanced replacement like most other places.
