MCG PRO with GF Mk.1 Profile
Posted: Fri Jan 05, 2018 6:49
1 - GF Mk.1
2 - 1.917
3 - N/A
4 - N/A
5 - VKBDevCfg-C_v0_83_8_5
Screenshots omitted
We were given the firmware, but where are the profiles?
We need some concise instructions for those of us who purchased the standalone grip for our original Gunfighter. I'm not afraid to do some setting up, but I am not going to be able to figure out how to set up each axis and button in VKBDevCfg, it's simply too complicated and time-consuming for me right now. I had to go dig through reddit threads to find the NJoy32 manual, not that I want to read 112 pages just to set up my new grip in the default configuration! I think I've looked in all the official places, and found no evidence of a profile for those of us with Mk.1 bases.
I found the new 1.917 firmware, flashed it as directed, but had no usable buttons or axes. I didn't want to spend hours figuring out how to set up each button, so I called up a friend who bought a GF Mk.2, and walk him through saving a profile that I could use. That's crazy, too much scrambling around just to get the basic configuration of a $160 product. I expect to do some tinkering to get it to work, but not like that.
EDIT: Note that I also tried to follow these directions to reset the device to factory default, as recommended, but they don't work on the latest version of VKBDevCfg; there is no "Default" button. http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2654
Here's the temporary, unofficial, probably not quite correct profile, such as it is, for anyone who finds this topic with the same problem:
