In what game you tested the stick? X-Plane?

[Jon1018]

Warbirds, Extreme Landings, Gunship etc.

Thanks, Jon

Also, is there WIZZO S/W for IOS?

[Jon1018]

Hello?????

[UIV]

No, WIZZO only for Windows.
You need to upload to joystick this profile - http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Profiles/Gladiat ... HAT0_0.zip
But you can only do this by Wizzo or vkbDevCfg-C software (((

Does that mean I'm out of luck using iOS?

[Jon1018]

Hello, can you please confirm the following:

1. The Gladiator is NOT fully iOS compatible
2. There is NO WIZZO s/w or support for iOS

Is there a plan to address these issues? Am I the only Mac user?

Thanks, Jon

We do not plan Wizzo for iOS.
A laptop with iOS will come to me on Monday. I'll check these issue.
If you find an opportunity to connect the joystick to a PC, we will try to fix the problem by loading another buttons profile.

[Jon1018]

That would be great!!!! I have an older windows Laptop that I can get fired up...

Ty! Jon

[Jon1018]

I have a Win laptop that I can use. Please send me the link to download S/W and instructions.

Thank you again, Jon

Hello, I tried the sw and no luck. Any chance I could get step by step instructions for loading the SW?

[UIV]

I'm sorry for late answer.
1) Dowload and unzip WIZZO http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Programms/wizzo_v0_83.zip
2) Download and unzip the profile http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Profiles/Gladiat ... HAT0_0.zip
3) Run Wizzo
4) Click on the "Load" button and choose the profile
5) Click "APPLY" button. WIZZO will close.
Check joystick buttons under iOS.

Did ^^^this^^^ and now my hat switch works, but only in the 4 cardinal directions, no 45º left/right or 135º left/right. And now the Mode button does nothing. It's red all the time. Why does everyone hate Macs so much? I guess some people just get frustrated with stuff that works and doesn't require fiddling. *sigh*

That said, it is a real nice joystick. I just wish it could be fully functional for the rest of us.

It's normal the mode button does nothing as the profile you've installed only has a single mode.
The hat is also not configured as a regular PoV hat with that profile (4 buttons instead).

My guess is that the PoV function is not compatible with the iOS (DirectInput/Windows).

I modified a profile if you want to test it. I can't assure you it will work as intended on iOS as I don't have immediate access to a Mac.
I programmed the hat to send the same (4) buttons inputs in both modes (buttons 30, 31, 32 and 33).
Two modes only modifying the grip buttons.
Pinky button used as a modifier only for the grip buttons.

If it doesn't function as expected, you can still revert to the previous configuration by loading the previous profile.
Use the same steps using Wizzo.
