Gladiator MkII gone?
I went to the VKB website to get a link to a G. MkII to recommend on a forum and it's not there. I think the Gladiator K is a great offering but the MkII was a great stick for much less $.

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
My stick WORKS. This is fantastic. I found an easy way to get into safe mode on the laptop via msconfig. Not sure why that didn't come up when looking on the desktop. Desktop is 3 months old Alienware and laptop is 5(?) yr old cheapie. Both on Win 10. Anyway, on laptop deleted all vkb downloads and ...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium

I got lot further than before as far as the bootloader etc but; - actually lost function on the stick itself. used to have roll and pitch and now they are gone. - every method I try to calibrate expecting to see info from the stick there is no movement - not ...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
So I downloaded all the same files to a VKB folder in downloads on my laptop. Started configurator but when I hit bootloader button configurator shut down but bootloader did not open. So I opened it myself and things looked real good. Had detect ok and green button so hit 'flash'. All was well, the ...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
I can't start in safe mode. It asks for a 'bitlocker recovery key'. I have no idea but google says it is a 48 character something and some long process to get it. Not. I looked at the link you sent and it's in Russian? But the pics did show me where the jumper is on my board. So I went to the config...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
Grip is good. Contacts springy and cleaned w/ alcohol and Q-tip, Base contacts cleaned also. Again tried w/ red light off and flashing same results both ways, 'device is not ready'. I noticed the name changed at the top depending on the light. Don't know if there is any significance or not. https://...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
Getting closer now. Configurator now shuts down and opens bootloader as it should. But bootloader says 'device not ready'. Bootloader will close normally now w/o task manager. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49618954537_15b0965804_z.jpg closer by craig stuard , on Flickr And all the data on the ...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
OK, I will try it following this new link. I am a bit worried that the configurator does not work correctly to shut itself down when I hit the bootloader. Seems to me that even if I don't have the files in the correct place that should work. Also seems I shouldn't need to use task manager to shut do...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
Another 3 hours and still not working. As best I can tell the controller isn't being recognized by the software. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49618304976_49b4eac30c_z.jpg Bootloader by craig stuard , on Flickr Checking in control panel it does appear there in 'devices and printers'. In the ma...

Re: Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
Thankyou, that is the video I used to do the install. I will triple check the three wire plug and then move on to the software and flashing etc. In the past w/ lots of other downloads I let the program chose it's own destination. That doesn't seem to work here. Then I came across the idea that they ...

Gladiator MkII w/ upgrade kit and SCG R Premium
I have spent 8+ hours today and am beyond frustrated. I installed it all and then started downloading all the tools. Jeez, do we really need to download all this stuff? It can't be combined? Nothing works. red light on the base flashes fast. Wait, sorry, pitch and roll work. Twist rudder does not. H...

Which SCG for Gladiator MkII
I bought the upgrade kit for my Gladiator MkII a month or so ago so I would be ready to go to order an SCG when available. So now I go to order an SCG and there are two types in the 'Your existing joystick' drop down. 1= Gunfighter MkII or III, and 2= Gunfighter MkI/Gladiator Pro MkII. They must be ...
