VKB-SIM

More than a year since this problem was reported and a statement made that VKB would look into it. But still no information or resolution. I've had to just learn to live with the problem.

No answer has been given for why the virtual button map has a blank in position 128. I've created a boolean function that sometimes outputs virtual button 128 and it works fine, so I know this is assignable. However I wanted to create a TEMPO function on one physical button that outputs virtual 128 ...

I'm trying to set up a detent to activate WEP mode for WW2 era planes such as the P-51 in DCS. The desired setup is similar to an afterburner setup in jets, except I want the throttle to output 100% before I push past the detent. The actual WEP mode is triggered by a button press when the throttle i...

Yes, exactly.

OK. That helped with the weird axis behavior. See screenshot below.

However if afterwards I restart the device with the trigger in the SAFE position then the axis gets stuck on 65535 and won't move.

OK, I put the trigger in the Armed position, pushed Default, and then loaded the profile and pushed SET. Then ran JoyTester. This time I was seeing the axis but the results were weird. With the trigger in either Safe or Armed the output level was zero. As I moved it from Armed to Safe it would go sm...

I'm afraid that I do not see the trigger axis with this profile. To be clear, I started VKBDevCfg-C.exe and then pushed the Default button. I then loaded this profile and pushed the SET button to load it into the device. I then closed VKBDevCfg-C.exe and started JoyTester.exe. I selected the MCG Ult...

The Global/External/External Devices page has three external device tabs populated so I'm attaching three screenshots, one for each. These were taken right after pushing the default button and then recalibrating. BTW, the trigger axis does not show up on the axis test page. Is that normal? Screensho...

OK. I did all that. Problem still exists. If I push restart with the trigger in "safe" position then I get no response from moving the trigger between safe and armed or from armed to safe. If I put the trigger in "armed" position an then restart all works as expected. So there is...

OK. Here is a screenshot. BTW, this screenshot looks exactly the same whether it is working or not.

OK. I flashed the latest firmware and updated the configuration software. I used firmware file _BlackBox_MK2_GF_MCG_Ultimate_v2_05_5.vkb and software version v0.91.96. The problem is still there. If I restart the joystick with the trigger in "safe" then it won't generate button pushes when...

I'm revisiting this thread with new information since I first created it. I have determined that the problem arises if and only if the trigger is in the "safe" position when I start the computer. If it is in the "armed" position all is well. I speculate that the issue has to do w...

I understand that it is an axis and that I have to calibrate it. I have done that. It doesn't help. Poor calibration would not explain why the grip "forgets" the setting and then works perfectly once I reload the profile.

Attached is a screenshot from the VKB Configuration program that shows the Axes profile page from a profile that I use for DCS. You will see at the top that I have the MCG Ultimate grip running v2.025 firmware. I've only had the grip and base for about two weeks. I have enabled the MCG Pro Trigger &...

I recently purchased the Gunfighter Mark III desktop version with MCG Ultimate grip. Out of the box I got pretty good but not perfect centering on the X axis and terrible inconsistency in centering on the Y axis. I replaced the Y axis cams with the H version and replaced the factory installed #20 sp...
