Re: MCG Grip keeps coming loose from Gunfighter 3 base

Thanks Tim for adding your experience. I've since upgraded to the MCG Ultimate, and have less disconnections although sometimes it still needed re-tightening. I only do a flight about once per week, so it was 3 flights or 3 weeks then I needed to re-tighten. I'll probably have to try what you mentio...

Re: MCG Ultimate doesnt recognise hat switch replacement

In Australia, so I've messaged the AliExpress seller.
Hope they can fix it by firmware... prefer not to send the whole grip back.

Re: MCG Ultimate doesnt recognise hat switch replacement

Actually stable versions were already tried too.

I only updated to beta hoping it would fix the issue..

Unfortunately all versions of firmware I've tested have the same issue so far.

MCG Ultimate doesnt recognise hat switch replacement

Hi Guys, I've replaced both of my mini-sticks with hats (see photo). The top hat works fine for all 5 buttons. The left hat (Gate Cont) only triggers the centre push button. Left/right/up/down triggers no buttons. When I look at the axis test screen, the grip is sending axis signals even though its ...

Re: MCG Grip keeps coming loose from Gunfighter 3 base

If the grip comes loose there's an issue either with its tail or with the locking unit. Please fill up a service ticket. This was purchased through AliExpress, it looks like I can't raise a ticket with VKB since it needs to be raised against an order. I've sent a message to the VKB AliExpress store...

Re: MCG Grip keeps coming loose from Gunfighter 3 base

Mine also happened during calibration. I've got #50 springs, 10cm extension and Avia cams that are harder on the edge of the axis. I'm soon upgrading to 20cm extension which has me worried... Yes agree would rather see a more secure locking mechanism than just something that provides friction/force ...

Re: MCG Grip keeps coming loose from Gunfighter 3 base

Yeah it grips at the front where the screw/bolt thingy is, but there's nothing to stop the back from tilting up when you move the stick to the hard end of the axis. Within about 20 minutes it's moved up enough and lost contact. Did you get any result back yet? I've been busy but will raise a ticket ...

MCG Grip keeps coming loose from Gunfighter 3 base

Since I received my MCG grip not long ago, after about an hour of use the buttons stop registering and it's clear the connection to the base has come loose again. It happpens almost every session. Also it happened a few times during calibration as well. It seems when the stick gets pulled to the ver...

Re: Unveiling the VKB TECS Throttle Control System (In Development)

It might not be ready for pre-order yet.. That's usually only when it's got 1 month or so to go.
