Re: FSM-GA knob response times

LOL! You my friend are an overdone, puffed up piece of spoiled pastry.

Go the heck away. You know NOTHING of me, my four months of work or anything else. Yet here you are catching flies with your mouth open.

Go find someone who gives a crap.

Re: FSM-GA knob response times

Lol - thanks but it’s immediately clear you have ZERO knowledge of anything I posted. I am probably the number 1 poster asking questions on the FSM. I have lived in the Discord where knowledge is woefully laking (as is caring about it). And I was affirmed at both my knowledge of the issue, my attemp...

Re: FSM-GA knob response times - NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME

So after 4 months of screwing with this FSM-GA and SEM modules ($250), extensive questioning on the VKB discord I found that the modules are literally at the lowest common denominator for Windows USB. There was literally ZERO thought on how these should work in real life - all the effort was spent o...

Re: Programming FSM LEDs

moewillie found the SOLUTION in this Video. Just go into VKB Config, LED section on the FSM/SEM and change the physical buttons to "P-Alternate", click the invert box and 'SeET" to device. Now I have all LEDS RED until they are pressed where they switch to green and stay in their stat...

Re: Programming FSM LEDs

Amazing to me this is so frigging complicated. Love VKB but sometimes I feel their software support is glued to the 1990s....

A simple led function takes python scripting to hack. Amazing.

Re: FSM-GA Programming LED's color toggle ?

Tryingh to change LED colors myself - is there an ENGLISH version of the pages you posted to? Have been fooling with this for 2 weeks without luck. Thanks!

Re: Using FSM / SEM with Spad.next - LED access?

Spad has been around from the Saitek days, is device agnostic and can provide complex functions, calculations and actions to anything that has an open API. My controls have lights, sound, beeps, different led responses, etc - all just with Spad. Except for VKB who doesn’t offer a way to communicate ...

VKB FSM-GA Module Configuration Solution / Information

I got the VKB FSM-GA and SEM last week and was surprised there is literally nothing on the web, at VKB or in videos that explain to a buyer how to set this up. Like a lot of flight sim products there is no real documentation on what to do with this thing once you have it. So here’s what I found out ...

Using FSM / SEM with Spad.next - LED access?

Hi all - I have a varied setup all using Spad.next for profiles and device control and trying to incorporate a FSM and SEM into the mix. However I just learned that there is no way for Spad.next to communicate or even see the button LEDs? So how - for example - would I have an LED go off when I hit ...

Gladiator NXT / Rudder Problems with MSFS Helicopters

Hi All - Just getting into helicopters with MSFS (Airbus H135) and trying to set up my stick and rudders. Yaw is **not** working though rudders show fine in VKBConfig, the game mapping and Windows 11. I get like 10 degrees of turn when I push rudder. Checked screws, alignment etc on rudder and all l...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Ministick Not Funtioning as POV in IL-2

Thanks fallout - that was the problem. Did not realize I needed to push in the ministick before calibration - saw every axes move correctly and all functions (including throttle axes) work correctly in the game. Spent some more time in the manual as well - than you very much for your help! Enjoying ...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Ministick Not Funtioning as POV in IL-2

Picture of Axes attached. Yes I have calibrated multiple times thinking that is the issue.

Thanks for your continued guidance - I'll get there!

Re: Gladiator NXT - Ministick Not Funtioning as POV in IL-2

Went back in and made sure to set everything to default, stripped out all joystick references and started over. Now the ministick will give me correct left/right panning all the way to the back seat and front again, but the up/down head view only goes down (even though showing axis of 0-180) gets st...

Re: Gladiator NXT - Ministick Not Funtioning as POV in IL-2

Thanks Fallout. Something is still not right - I set everything to default, went back in and ONLY changed pitch, roll and yaw then the view axes - bow head down and then head horizontally as you said. Going back into game the ministick only moves the left side a quarter view, then when I move the st...

Gladiator NXT and IL-2 POV - No Love

Hi All, Sorry if this turns out to be a silly question but I am new to the NXT and IL-2. For the life of me I cannot get the left side ministick/hat to act as a POV stick to let me see around me. I have put it in as buttons, put it on axes and nothing I do makes it respond in IL-2. I can get zoom in...
