VKB-SIM

I'm trying to follow the VKB video about regreasing the Gunfighter dry clutch. In the video , the MK3 is shown & the nylon pads are easily lifted off of the barrel to be cleaned & greased. On my Mk2 2 though, it seems impossible to get these nylon pads off. They are stuck below a rim on the ...

The grip & the base both show they have a good connection, but if they didn't have a good connection wouldn't all of the buttons be affected , not just the gray button? That's what makes me think something is faulty with just that button, still not sure though.

I have a Gunfighter Mk2 MCG pro grip that has worked well since 2018. Now though, one of the buttons doesn't work sometimes. It's the gray thumb button that I use continually ( button #s 9-13 in VKBDevcfg.) It will work reliably most of the time & then suddenly fail to be recognized at all. When...

Thanks very much !! It worked.

Hello, I have a Gunfighter 2 ,with an MCG grip. When I was flying in a sim today one of the buttons on the grip suddenly stopped being recognized. It's the gray 4 way button that rests in the thumb position (sorry I don't know its button number). I have been using this button relentlessly to recente...

I recently tried to re-grease the dry clutch on my Gunfighter mk 2.When I tried to pull off the nylon pads under that are the circuit board, the nylon pads seemed to be fused together & stuck on their pin. I was afraid they would break if I pulled them apart. So I tried to put grease on the barr...

OK, I have reconnected everything. Now I'm trying to follow the instructions for re-flashing after downloading the latest blackbox firmware & cfg file, but got a message that my device is running on old firmware. Now , running the bootloader seems to be stuck on the "Device not ready" ...

I have double checked all of the connections , Black box connection , the grip to the base, the circuit board connection. Everything looks good. Is there anything else I can check?

The mcg grip is on an extension that I never actually removed. I only removed the extension with the grip attached from the base. The grip still seems very secure on the extension though. The extension also seems to be seated & secured on the base now. Could it be a faulty cable from the base to...

I just changed the springs & adjusted the dampers on my Gunfighter mk2 with MCG Pro & now I'm having trouble getting the joystick to calibrate. I've done this before & was able to calibrate OK afterward, so I don't know what went wrong this time.The black box has both the red & blue ...

Thanks for these links. I think I'll try re-greasing the dampers. Is Nyogel 767a still the most recommended grease? Anything cheaper that's as good?

Thanks! That brings up something else I don't understand though . What is the function of the springs vs. the dampers. Which will give me more fine control & smoothness?

Sorry if I should have found the answer to this question already on the forums, but I'm still unsure . If I have an extension for my Gunfighter mark 2 , what is the maximum spring strength I should use ? Also, what is the best way to get smoothness of motion around the center of stick movement? Is i...

Thanks for the answers, I really appreciate it. I didn't realize that all I needed to do was a long press on the center button of my POV switch! It works great in DCS. It works OK in IL2 also, but it's hard to have fine control of the trim on an axis in IL2. I'm still a little confused about using t...

OK, I calibrated with the VKB device config. I have the MCG grip. The Gunfighter model is mk 2. I don't know if it's important, but I noticed during calibration that axis x doesn't move, it stays all the way to the left and axis x & y always stay centered. What do I need to do next?
