Re: STECS for Rudder

I just went to VKB Russia website to order STECS Standard and it's unavailable at this time. Any idea what is going on?

Re: STECS for Rudder

I've been reading feedback that assigning the triggers on the front of STECS to an axis to serve as rudders gives an imprecise rudder action, plus when using a split throttle it makes the triggers impractical. Are there any other axises available within finger reach while hand is on the throttle tha...

STECS for Rudder

Is it possible to configure any function on a STECS Throttle to operate rudders comfortably? Or any other VKB throttle for that matter. I notice there are two flat switches or something on the front of the STECS in the photos. Can they be used to operate rudders?

Swap the base?

I have a Gladiator NXT Premium stick for about 4 years now. Can I buy the base only from the Gladiator NXT EVO and fit my NXT stick on it? Are they compatible?

I didn't find the page where the base is sold separately.

Wish List

I have the Gladiator stick but I am still using Thrustmaster TWCS throttle. You know why? ... Because it has those paddles on the front which are very good for use as rudders. I don't like twist stick rudders. And I don't do foot pedal rudders (even worse) My wish is that VKB make a low profile thro...

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

Yes that is true. Interesting that I got more suggestions for fixing this than I did from VKB. However, I don't think it was necessary to re-install Windows 11 at this point because it appears so far that I have resolved the issue by replacing the regular USB hub with a powered USB hub. The issue ha...

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

Btw..... there are two other people who use the VKB Gladiator who have told me they had the same sort of problem with the Gladiator. One of them is on DCS forum discussing the issue with me.

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

So, you think it is a motherboard problem? Well...it still could be the stick because I reported this problem months ago that the stick randomly quits... and I never got an SRS popup then. Maybe because I wasn't using it. Not sure. I'm using a gaming laptop. That would mean buying another $3000 lapt...

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

Here's the latest: I just got the word from SRS that the problem is with the VKB Joystick not SRS The Gladiator keeps disconnecting the SRS radio every couple of minutes or so. I've tried different USB ports and different USB hubs. The pc, usb ports & hubs are set to never sleep or turn off. The...

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

Update:
I think the conflict with SRS is an SRS problem - because I realized that it affects my twcs trottle too.
So I'll take that up with SRS. It should be simple.

However yesterday my Gladiator took a leave of absence again and drove my plane into the ground. I have no idea why that would happen

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

Yes I updated the firmware. Like I said, I'll have to try out the stick for some time before I'll know if that worked or not. Maybe it's not the stick but my computer. There is no way to know really. If you remember I reported this problem a few months ago and then recalibrated and the problem of th...

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

Yes all that has been done. So, if that is all I can do to fix these two problems then it is done. I have not been getting the 'notice' lately so it could be that the minor problem is fixed. BUT - About the Gladiator's number 1 main problem, that it randomly become unresponsive. We'll have to wait a...

Re: VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

I don't know how this first screenshot got duplicated so many times and I don't know how to delete them either. ScreenShot_20230601190428.jpeg I changed these just now to unchecked.

VKB Gladiator NXT & SRS

ScreenShot_20230601015043.jpeg While using the Gladiator in game with DCS, I have started getting notifications saying that an error occurred with the Gladiator input and you need to restart the SRS for it to work again. Well, it doesn't seem to affect the Gladiator because it doesn't stop working....
