VKB-SIM

Understand... And I will see if can/not get used to that flashing-procedure after changing grips. I must say that after flashing my F-14 grip when I got it, I haven't used the VK Device Conf much any more - so I am not really familiar with this software. I have taken a look into the link, you provid...

Thanks for your reply! Too bad! But at least I now know, that I am not missing anything here... Guess I'm not the only one with more than one grip, so something like a common firmware would be great not only for myself but others, too.... If one of the mentioned gurus would give their view, that wou...

Hi there Sorry, maybe it was my bad, but I couldn't find an answer to this: I just got my second stick (MCG Ultimate in addition to the F-14 on Gunfighter Mk III). I can swap the sticks ("cold" - USB disconnected while changing) and then have to flash the "new" one (each time) - ...

Anyhow the information in that thread was great guidance and motivation to take apart and reassamble the electronics in the extension...

Thanks, fallout9 - I'll open it and have a look... From the video (yep, I sure know that one) you suggest that I open up the two halves, instead of having a peek under the "door" held by the 4 philips screws (right under the DLC-wheel), correct?

Thanks a lot, mate!

My F-14 stick's DLC thumbwheel does not return easily from its rear position (return from front position is much faster/more easily). Feels like it's "tighter", "bound" or something... Is it possible to "release"/"untighten" the spring mechanism (or grease/lub...

Okay, seems that I got it sorted: after seeing this thread http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=4776&start=15 , I dismantled my 200mm-extension - made sure all connections on the extension's base-end had good contact and re-assembled everything... "My problem" didn't show ...

Understand - willdo. (Actually now - and after getting to know the DevCfg a bit better - I understand the procedure you are proposing...)

Thanks again - and once more: sorry for hijacking your thread, dangerzone.

Update: I didn't have too much time over the weekend to check and try out things, but I took the grip off the extension to check the contact pads for marks. This is what they look like: IMG_2902 (002).jpg From your experience, do they look "normal"? (In my view, the pad in the top right of...

Sorry, dangerzone for hijacking and this deviation... fallout9 , yes, I enlargened the hole - actually I drilled a second hole a little offset to the original one into the grip's plastic base. Seeing the size of the contact-pads (due to their looks I called them "nuclear") the grip's pins ...

Just out of curiosity, what does that "Comm Error" show/report? It shows if there errors in communication between grip to base and base to bb. Green is fine, high red blocks is not. Thanks, fallout9 . That report shows a few peaks (up to yellow) when moving my grip to its extremes: blips....

Just out of curiosity, what does that "Comm Error" show/report?

From your description, that so VERY MUCH sounds like the trouble, I have been experiencing and reporting in my thread here: http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5374 I will try to repeat your tests/findings for my set-up (VKB F-14 on Gunfighter III and 20mm extension) and add it in here...

I have already been asking this in the "General"-section of the forum - so, sorry for repeating, but I feel it rather belongs here and I may get a better support by asking my question in here. In DCS (in the sim's Controls-Settings) I have assigned trim to the VKB stick's coolie hat. After...

Update: yesterday I had same issue again. Not AS bad as before, though: trim just went to the right - actually it WAS at the right side from one moment to the other, not wandering. I tried resetting the trim by using the coolie hat - but nothing happened! Found out that Alt-Tab works well with the s...
