VKB-SIM

I have run the VKB calibration program - multiple times -including removing the Windows calibration (by letting VKB create the reg file and running it). Every time I use VKB, it truncates the Z axis range of movement. The only way I get the full use of the mini lever, without replacing parts, is to ...

fallout9 - thanks...but at the moment, I don't think it's a parts issue (and after opening up the joystick, it's unlikely that I'd figure out what to replace). Instead of removing the resistor, I ran the Windows calibration program instead of the VKB calibration program. I now have full Z-axis funct...

Ron61 - Thanks for the instruction. However, this project is now on indefinite back-burner. Santa's elf told me that a stand-alone throttle will be under the Christmas tree this year. This, then changes the upgrade timeline from the NXT to Gunfigher extended. Woohoo! Thanks again for your assistance.

How's 2 out of 3? I've got the desire & equipment, but likely not the skill. What the heck...what's the worst that can happen? Might have to buy a stand-alone throttle assembly after I mess up.

I'm game to try if you don't mind walking me through the steps.

Hey Ron61 - thanks for all the suggestions. The last suggestion took me from 0-25887 to 0-32116 (almost half way). In IL-2 my throttle now goes from 0 to 47% (before i could only get up to 37%). Screenshot 2021-11-10 172434.png I still can't seem to get the joystick to register the full throw. The r...

No joy. I turned on Partial Calibration, set to AxisZ calibration only. Followed following steps: 1. Default, move lever to other side (tried both sides - ran multiple scenarios), recalibrated - KdHi remains 255 and no change to Axis Z range (0 - 25887+/-) 2. Default, set MPL = 10 (was already at 9)...

Ron61 - here's the profile axes tab after calibrating.

Finally got around to hooking up my NXT again and started up a couple flight sims. Noticed that I wasn't getting full range of throttle in any program. Opened the VKB calibration program and found that only 1/2 of the Z-Axis (the mini-throttle at the base of the joystick, not the twisting Z-axis) wa...
