Gunfighter Black Box Not Detected in CFG

Postby Leng » Sat Apr 29, 2017 23:40

I just received the Gunfighter and hooked it and my MKIII rudders to the Gunfighter's black box controller. The BB is detected by the computer and both devices show up in Window's game controller panel. However, I cannot use the VKB Device Config (v0.79.10). I receive the error in the Joystick Configuration Tool of "Device cannot be opened".

I also cannot use the T-Link software with the pedals attached to the Gunfighter black box?

I am running Windows 7 BTW.

Any thoughts?

I'll upload the configuration software today.
I can make the profile for BB with virtual brakes and upload to our ftp. No need to use T-Link.

Please, download the latest version of configurator http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Programms/VKBDev ... 79_9_9.zip
Profile for virtual brakes http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Profiles/BlackBo ... _79_99.zip
Brake function on the grip assigned to "pinky" button.
No need to use T-Link. Just load this profile to BlackBox.

Thanks for the update.

I tried the most recent version (v0.79.99) and still no luck. I open the config tool and I get the following message: "Device cannot be opened". There are no devices listed in the config window either. I tried attaching to different USB ports with no change.

The lights on the GF BB are on and Windows detects it normally and I can see and use the axises on both devices normally. It is just the config tool that does not seem to recognize the BB.

When I close the config, I also get the following message: "Abnormal program termination"

Try it the way it is here http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2470#p24463. And screenshots from the configurator are desirable.

Do you have gaming mouse or keyboard from Logitech or Razor? Their software can block the joystick.

I do have both Logitech and Razer software on my computer. I uninstalled both and also followed the advice on the thread linked by Ron61. None of it worked.

I did, however, fix it. Instead of running the tool normally, I right-clicked it and selected to run as administrator. With that it was able to detect the BB and all the menus are now functional.

Hopefully I can reinstall at least the Logitech software without any interference.

Thanks for taking the time to help me with this.
