new user need help setting up dual joysticks

Postby Wustinhurf » Wed Mar 05, 2025 5:59

Hi,

I recently purchased 2 gunfighter MKIV SCG L + R and am having difficulties setting them up. For starters, the VKBDevCfg-c doesn't seem to recognize 2 joysticks. I've tried looking up videos and guides but I just can't seem to figure it out. I'm currently trying to connect 2 joysticks into 1 black box. I thought of connecting the S-bus first and running config then disconnecting and loading L-bus but it did not seem to work. This VKBDevCfig isn't very user-friendly and I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Do I need to run 2 black boxes for 2 joysticks?

Thank you in advance

Hi,
First of all it's strongly recommended to use each joystick with its own BB; combining joysticks on a single BB is rather complicated and recommended to more experienced users. Then, I suggest to add up to the springs on both bases, as the default springs, the 20s, are more of a holder rather than a recommended setup. Here's a guide on adjusting the base (you can install 2 x 20s springs on each cam for beginning and run with it for a while to see how you like it).

After adding the springs as indicated in the guide adjust the springs tensioners and the dampeners.
Plug the bases one by one to USB and follow these steps:
- run VKBDevCfg as Admin and select the device at the top;
- click the Default button under the Tools tab, then click Yes when asked to configure;
- click Yes to the calibration popup and calibrate following this guide.

Unplug when done and repeat the whole procedure for the second one. Afterwards you can plug them both to USB and start binding in game.
