Lenux Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hello everyone, I'd like to ask you for an advice, about modifying the VKB MCG Pro, trigger button I find it a bit too loud, and I'd like to open it and modify it What do you think about this? Should I try? Did anyone here opened the grip ( for some reason)?

Sokol1_br Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Assuming that the loud sound is in two stage trigger, the click sound is created in micro-switches used under trigger lever, (probable a OMROM B3F series), the only thing that you can do is replace then with a "soft" model, that need have the same physical dimensions to avoid more modifications. This kind of "mod" generally is against products warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenux Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'll try to contact the VKB FSC Europe, maybe they could help me with this.

Lenux Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 I emailed the VKB FSC Europe, and they replied " We didn't start selling MCG in Europe yet, so we do not have any support parts etc for MCG. I would recommend to contact your seller to investigate what could be done " Do they need some parts, for modifying this trigger button ?

I would recommend to contact your seller to investigate what could be done " Do they need some parts, for modifying this trigger button ? I don't think they will modify the trigger for you, maybe replace it with the same "trigger group". They are just telling you that they don't sell them yet, they don't have them yet and they can't support you(yet?) and you should ask for support where you bought your stick, my guess you ordered in China? Good luck asking for support there or you can try to ask your question in the vkb forum: http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/index.php Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Offtopic : i tried with the strongest springs, but i'd like to have it a bit stronger Do I have a chance to find / buy / somewhere, same springs, but a bit stronger ??

ram0506 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Did you try mounting 2 springs per axis? I use a 40 and a 30 spring for each axis. That`s pretty strong, if you don`t use an extension.

Lenux Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 No, I didn't try this. How is the difference, actually? I have no extensions Thank you very much for your advice I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrohde Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Little video that might help you on your spring swapping quest: Even though the video pertains to the Gladiator Pro, the gimbal design (including cams and springs), is pretty much the same for the Gunfighter.

Lenux Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) ram0506, I'd like to thank you for your advice, much better now, i added 30 springs, for each axis I'm to lazy now, to open the joystick again, but so on I'll try with 2 x 10 springs, instead 30 springs, just testing LE : when i try to calibrate, and press Apply, it says " NO NEW DATA " Is that okay ? What does it mean, actually ?

AeroGator Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 when i try to calibrate, and press Apply You should not press APPLY after calibration. Press APPLY only after editing settings. > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
