Gladiator MK II Firmware 1.99.9 issue

[GongZilla]

Hi,

I patched my Gladiator 2 times with the Firmware 1.99.9 on the support page.
After patching, I get red light flashing and after that the stick is dead.
I had to flash the old Firmware 1.99.6 with the jumper on the board to get it to work again.

Is there a known issue with the latest Firmware?

No issues are known. What versions of software do you use?
Try to flash another firmware version. Show screenshots of fw loader and VKBDevCfg.exe.

Try a newer one from here.

Hi,

the new Firmware 1_99_A(2) is now working fine. No issues anymore.
Thx for reply.

This is confusing. Just received my new Gladiator MKII. Nowhere on the box says "Pro", however, VKB Device Config, under the "Info" tab shows:
Product Name: VKBsim Gladiator
PRO version
Firmware version: v1.85B

I am trying to update the firmware. Which version do I choose?? _Gladiator_v1_99_A.vkb OR _Gladiator_Pro_v1_99_A.vkb ??
Do I have a MKII Pro or not and what is the difference between the two?

Would've been nice to post some pictures of the device or the software when asking 'what device do I have'? But considering that you just bought the device I would say you have the Gladiator MKII. Gladiator Pro has been out of production and went out of stock a few years ago. The difference is that the Gladiator Pro has metal cams and interchangeable grips.
So the proper firmware for you to flash is _Gladiator_v1_99_A.vkb.

PS - I've deleted the other identical post, please stick to a single thread.

Hi there!

Same issue here.

Does not mater how many times try, even tough the joystick is recognized by xplane and p3d, nothing happens when move it...

Revert it to the firmware 85, now got it working...]

Even the file in google drive you provided, still not working...

Any help will be appreciatted

[fallout9]

Don't use 1.99.9, use the latest which is 1.99.A.

[rafapiloto195]

I'll give it at try and advise

[rafapiloto195]

well..... tried again and still...as soon I install this firmware, even tought the xplane recognize it and ask to calibrate it...its dead...no input on the commands inside xplane....

[rafapiloto195]

after 4 calibrations...finally..working...thanks!

The moment when you start playing any game you have to be calibrated through VKBDevCfg. Whatever calibration XPlane makes that's not good enough for the joystick.

Unluckily, my Gladiator MK II's axis is not working after I flash _Gladiator_v1_99_A and _Gladiator_v1_99_B. So I reflash the old one, _Gladiator_v1_98_6.vkb, and I can see the axis movement in the vkbdevcfg test tab.

[fallout9]

You have to press the Default button after each firmware upgrade, followed by a calibration.
