Re: Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist - Button '#12' no longer working after a mere 3 month of use
I must say I am amazed at how tidy the internals are & getting this thing apart and back together must have taken 10 minutes tops, no faffing about trying to line things up or worrying I was about to break anything. What I ended up doing was unpluging & plugging the cable back in & then ...

Re: Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist - Button '#12' no longer working after a mere 3 month of use
Thanks for the thumbs up, I will open the grip up this evening & will report back once I've had a look.
Judging by the pictures I found online of the internals, it does look like the 4-way thumb hat is a separate unit that is fairly to remove and swap out, provided with the replacement part.

Re: Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist - Button '#12' no longer working after a mere 3 month of use
I had another go in the VKB device config & can confirm there is something wrong with the 4-way thumb hat. If I very lightly nudge it towards the FWD/LEFT position, both Buttons #10 & #13 are detected as pressed. If I nudge the 4-way hat around very gently (feather touch, with the weight of ...

Re: Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist - Button '#12' no longer working after a mere 3 month of use
I have pressed the 'Default button' and recalibrated as advised but button #12 is still not being picked up, everything else is working fine.

Re: Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist - Button '#12' no longer working after a mere 3 month of use
Press the Default button and recalibrate. What's the name of that specific hat switch btw? The hat switch is the thumb 4-way hat which I believe maps to buttons #9-#13 : https://flightsimcontrols.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/MCG-captions-3.jpg (in the screenshot it is the 4-way hat that you would...

Re: Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist - Button '#12' no longer working after a mere 3 month of use
I have created a support ticket for VKB to see but in the meantime, if anyone has had the same (or similar issue) and can let me know what the outcome of this was, I would be greatful.
Thanks!
Thanks!

[RESOLVED] Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist - Button '#12' no longer working after a mere 3 month of use
Hello all, I bought a the Gunfighter Mk.III - MCG Pro EN /w twist a few months ago (March to be exact, so I have only had the stick for 3 months) and one of my buttons has spontaneously stopped working, specifically the thumb/trimmer 4-position switch but only for the aft-position; I believe this bu...

Re: VKB Shipping to UK
The pricing can be a bit misleading as bravoleader mentioned above. This is something I raised a few weeks ago in a support ticket which led them to add the 'incl VAT for EU only' but it is still confusing if you view the store when logged out vs. logged in with your country set to 'UK'. At least we...

Re: VKB Shipping to UK
It should do, once you've chosen your payment details & are about to fill in your details ; it did for me (I paid using Paypal, not sure at what point it changes with other payment methods).

Re: VKB Shipping to UK
You will get charged for the product on the VKB website with VAT deducted. Once the package has been received by UPS you will be invited to pay import fees (which includes VAT) when it is underway. I bought the Gunfighter last month & the other day the rudder pedals & both transactions / shi...

Re: VKB Shipping to UK
Ordered my Gunfighter MK.III MCG Pro last Saturday (13/03), arrived half an hour ago (17/03) so I am very pleased :). I realise some people might have had issues with shipping/UPS or else ; on my end it was smooth sailing sorting out the custom/tax payment with UPS and arrived very quickly (in fact ...

Re: VKB Shipping to UK
*Facepalm* - I just checked the price for the Gunfighter MK.III MCG Pro /w twist (VKBSIM-S-GF-MK3-MPR-EN1-TW) using incognito on Chrome and the price shows up as '€449 Incl VAT for EU '; when browsing for the same product with Chrome running normally, it shows up as ' €371 Incl VAT for EU '. Is the ...

Re: VKB Shipping to UK
I vaguely remember the price changing when I put my address through but it is possible I missed something out. In all honesty, the website isn't overly clear when it comes to the VAT. What I know for sure is that when I check my Paypal invoice, It says '€371.07 EUR' for the Subtotal which is, as far...

Re: VKB Shipping to UK
I placed an order for the Gunfighter MK.III MCG Pro yesterday & paid without putting much thought into it. This morning I checked the invoice and my payment (Paypal) only to realise that I have seemingly been charged the full price + EU VAT. The website does state that UK customers should not pa...
