Re: Set axis to use only half its range

In Elite: Dangerous, binding vertical thruster control to an axis results in opposite thruster movements depending on whether the axis is moved up or down from its centre point. For my Gladiator NXT's Z-axis this would mean that 0 position on the axis is full up thruster and 65535 position is full ...

Re: "Omni Throttle"/angled adapter

...While any speculation on timeline is exactly that, speculation , I'd say you can stop checking safely until at least after CNY break. Late spring / early summer 2022 would be the earliest even logistically possible, is my guess. Just like my current speculation for the first TECS (arc, passive d...

Re: VKB TECS: MODULARITY FULL AHEAD

I agree about people having limits, and nowhere did I suggest anyone 'wait' if they need something now. Just surprised people keep demanding news and expecting responses. They've said what they're gonna say, and what the threshold is for them to say something new. Believe them? (Every now and again ...

New home page needs forum link

Just FYI, and my opinion. For the first time in a long while I happened to browse just to 'vkb-sim.pro' on a computer that didn't have a history including 'forum.vkb-sim.pro' on it, and saw a new starting page with (essentially) 4 "tiles" to route toward the US, Euro, Russian, and Aus site...

Re: FSM-GA knob response times

Capecop1, I don't want to hijack this topic too much with panel details - come ping me on Reddit, same nick there. I'll fill you in on how I did mine (quick hint - throw money at the problem, not DIY for the face panel ;-D ).

Re: FSM-GA knob response times

Absolutely, understanding the limit helps you decide on the use! I hope I didn't come across as dismissive, definitely not my intent. I think an Encoder is expected to be rotated "thoughfully" through clicks, making a setting, perhaps even then confirming with a press or something, vs. &qu...

Re: FSM-GA knob response times

I don't have any experience with the software you're using, but I got lots on VKB's native software and technical issues and I can tell you this is the first time when I encounter a delayed action coming from a VKB device. Not saying it's not there, but there are too many layers of software coverin...

Re: FSM-GA knob response times

I have this issue as well, exactly as described by the op. I use the encoder on the fsm in elite dangerous for FSS signal tuning. For those unaware, tuning the FSS requires progressing from very low frequency signals up to very high frequency signals while searching a star system for stellar bodies...

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right x-y axis jitter/twitching

Very glad to help! In the end did you see anything that seemed like debris on the Y magnet? I am glad that the operation worked for you but ultimately (being remote, not there with you) am uncertain if in the end it was just detaching and reattaching cables or whatnot that might have also just provi...

I repeated the steps but the jitter still persists Screenshot of vkb joy tester: https://gifyu.com/image/SSi0K If thosse spikes happen when not touching anything, this might sound weird but bear with me (and goes with what Fallout suggests re: debris on the magnet).

Re: MCG Ultimate

Put a sock on it? Wrap the grip with a resistive heater wire? Wear a glove? Coat your hand with a thick layer of rendered bear fat? Game inside a structure of some sort with walls and a roof and central heating? (In some cultures we call this a "house".) Switch to the MCG-Pro for the winte...

Re: Gladiator not “seen” by Elite Dangerous

Is this Odyssey, or Horizons? When you look at the Controls page with the 4 tiles for general, ship, SRV, on-foot (I'm referring to Odyssey) do they say "Custom" on them? If not, when you dive into one there should be a dropdown list near top toward the right. If that's just on something l...

Re: "Omni Throttle"/angled adapter

Another option is making that axis 'relative'. So you're only 'altering' the throttle when deflecting, watch your in-game HUD or whatnot to see the speed indicator hit where you want, then release back to 'center', and that last value is held. Use a button to zero. This had not occurred to me, and ...
