How to use MCG-Pro POV 2?

Hello! Just recently got my MCG-Pro and I'm trying to figure out how to activate POV 2. I assume this is controlled by the GATE CONT/УПРДВ СТРОБ ministick, but I can't seem to get it to work in VKBDevCfg-C (v0.83.85). I'm running the Gunfighter Mk.I (Firmware v1.917), so I can't use the Wizzo software if that has the option. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I've got the same problem. I set POV2 to use axes 5 & 6 and Virtual Controller 2, but it doesn't matter if I set the hat to On/Off or Always On, I can't get it to show responses on the Test tab.

Me too not understanding what to do with this slider/hat.(I mean the one under the red button)
I am trying to assign it for the Mixture or Propeller in flight simulator, but it will not carry out the function.
Have the MK.II MCG Pro.

If I remember correctly when I was trying to get mine to work axis 5 and 6 are the relative mode axis for the master mode stick. Top center one.
I set mine by accident to relative mode then looked in the test tab and saw them move.
POV 2 would be nice but the game I play can use an axis as a button directly so no need for me to have POV 2 working.

I'm interested in this question as well. My POV 2 I assume is the Gate Cont hat. I see responses for it in the axis test page, but when I change to the button test page the POV2 has no response as a POV hat. I can get the Master Mode stick to switch between POV1 and relative stick(trimmer) mode with the short and long presses, but no such luck with POV2 / Gate Cont.

How do I get the POV2 / Gate Cont stick to function as a normal POV for POV2 and not function as a axis. This is necessary because some sims will not let you assign buttons to axis like IL2 BOS.

I use the pov2 for zoom and the button pressed for engine start.
The pov2 will not act as pov1.VKB need to make changes to this button asap. :idea:

I figured out how to make the Gate Cont hat perform as a regular 4 button hat. I had to just tinker with it and read the new manual that just released yesterday. Now It performs great in IL2 and DCS.

For anyone looking for how to do this, here's how.

You must set POV2 to LoRes 8w, then set the X axis to 6 and the Y axis to 5, and set Active to Always. Additionally, depending on your preference, you can set Active to On/Off so that the POV can be enabled/disabled by a button set as a uStick Switch pointing to POV2. I have included a picture showing the basic POV2 setup using Gate Cont.

Followed your instructions and can see the pov2 in the test screen, but in the flight sim(P3D V4) it appears as button numbers not hat2
