VKB-SIM

Today i decided to "update" the firmware on my Gladiator Mk.II believing that it used an outdated version. The version i installed is 1.81.7 (which is the newest one available on the official website) but little did i know that i had in fact regressed as i had version 1.85 previously installed (this came with the stick when i first received it in mid-autumn this year). The problem is that the HAT switch does not work at all now in X-Plane 10 (it worked perfectly well with previous firmware), and now can only function properly when used with the pinkie button, and the mode switch button does not provide any functionality beyond switching the color of the indicator.

Now i wonder, is it possible to return to the previous version either through rollback or by installing the 1.85 (or whichever is the newest one) firmware, and if the latter is a possibility, where in the world can i find 1.85+ firmware to download?

Had the same issue with the hat switch. I think it has something to do with your selected profile. I just updated my firmware and it got rid of the issue, I'm assuming because of how it changed my profile to default. It broke all my axis, though, so it's extremely frustrating.

Try v. 1.97 firmware for Gladiator from here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1WRiD1czmcHbklBX2hMSEN0bzA
Here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1WRiD1czmcHMVBEcVQ0dndyNG8?usp=sharing take the last VKBDevCfg.exe.
To reset controller to factory defaults:
Edit zconfig.ini file saved in the same folder with VKBDevCfg.exe (arrives automatically after the first launch): add User=Developer in [User] section.
[User]
===========================
User=Developer
Launch VKBDevCfg.exe and press Default button on Tools tab.

Thanks for this, it works quite well now.
