Which formware for my old VKB-Sim Gladiator Mk.II

Postby Flygirl » Sun Feb 08, 2026 2:28

I have a bad feeling its using software for the newer WW2 stick because there are 3 other sliders not usable in calibration and its screwing a lot of my flight sims up because its assigning controls to axis that do not exist.

I need to get firmware for my VKB-Sim Gladiator Mk.II WWII stick, not the new one. I do not see it in the firmware package, please help because I really think the firmware on my stick is wrong

Appreciate any help.

The correct firmware file for Gladiator MKII is _Gladiator-MK2_KG12_vx_xx.vkb. You can't flash the wrong firmware on our joysticks, so if your joystick works 100% you're on the correct firmware. Even if you see more axes listed in VKBDevCfg they're not active, so nothing wrong with that.

Thanks,

Now I just need to sort out some games seeing Slider as throttle and get them to use Zaxis. Its weird. I will have to look in the VKB config software.

You definitely don't have to worry about it. It really doesn't matter how the games or the native software are labeling an axis as long as it works when properly bound.
