VKB T-Rudder Mk IV Pedals, Mk2 Black Box - Suspected Incorrect Configuration

Postby freelancer2011 » Sat Aug 29, 2020 22:44

Hi,

Same story as others. I literally just received them, this week.

I have a suspicion the settings that were shipped were not correct. Being honest, I'm also not sure if me plugging them into a powered USB Hub first has given them the wrong settings, moving forwards.
Please find attached screenshots of the config, axes and buttons.

They are detected in DCS and Flight Simulator. But, I can't find a way to assign the buttons (if needed). As looking at the forum talk, it suggests no configuration is required.
I've pressed Default and ran the Calibration in VKB Config. Still no joy.

Screenshots attached. In the second immediate post, I'll attach the in-game settings of both DCS and MSFS for you to have a look, as well (as it seems posts can only have 3 attachments).

Thanks.

You said 'assign buttons', but the device has only 1 axis. Maybe you're trying to bind it in game to digital input (buttons), instead of analog (axis)? Check this video for clarification.

Here are the other screenshots attached.
Note, I've also uploaded the Device Report, too.

Note, for DCS, there was also a setting in there for 'stick to trimmer control mode'. Value was 'Joy_button X' or 'Joy_X' (i can't recall fully). I've been trying to get it to work.

I'll check the video out, shortly. Need to grab a bite to eat.

...If you're asking me to check this video out, does this mean that there are settings to configure before either flight sim?

Thanks.

Please see the video I've posted. It will explain that you'll have to set the Filter to All to see the unmapped controls. It will also explain the binding axes to buttons and buttons to axes will be accepted by the game, but it won't work well at all when flying. Stick to assigning buttons to digital inputs and axes to analog inputs.
Try to bind the pedals to rudders in DCS. If it works it means that you can;'t bind them to that trimmer control.

Cheers Fallout9!

MS Flight Simulator - FIXED (thanks to that vid!) ;)
DCS - Still to fix.

Any idea what it could be?

Cheers Fallout9 (times 2)! :D :D

DCS - Sorted.

Exactly as you say. I found that Axis command. It might not be obvious to others but you have to click 'Foldable View'.
Then, I found 'Rudder';
I clicked on that cell highlighted.
Obviously, there was no value in there at first.
I pressed left and right (IIRC, it detected one first, Joy_RX).
Then, I Saved.
Then, I went back into that cell and pressed the other rudder for Joy_RZ. Then, Saved.
Screenshot attached for any others who may be experiencing the same issues as me.

Thanks, Fallout9! You're a legend! :D 8)
