X axis on GF not calibrating fully

Postby marcusstratus » Sat Jan 13, 2018 9:02

*EDIT* did calibration 3 separate times as well as restart computer before posting on forums *End Edit*

Hey folks, I just got my MK1 Gunfighter with MCG Pro mounted and connected today. Everything went well during the install and calibration, lights on the black box blue and green, great. Then when I go to test Axes I can see that Axis X zeros out before I stop moving to the left. It feels like 25% of that axis movement isn't being registered. I'm getting full registration on the right side movement of Axis X and all other Axis. (is the foldable trigger supposed to be an axis? I'm not getting any movement when I depress the foldable trigger either). I haven't modified the profile parameters or anything, this is just installing default configuration before calibration.

1 - Device model and version: Gunfighter MK.1 w/ MCG Pro
2 - Controller Firmware version: VKBsim Gunfighter Modern Combat PRO v1.91E
3 - Number and type of springs used: 1 each of #30
4 - Тype of cams used: #30 on both axes
5 - If VKB original software is used, please always mention its version: VKBDevCfg-C_v0_83_9_6
6 - Vkbjoytester screenshots.

Great job, and special thanks for putting a question in a very correct way.
One problem though, please re-post the pictures uploading them HERE. We do not follow external links for a number of reasons.
Sorry for the delay. I will be on your case as soon as I see the pics.
Best Regards,
AeroGator

Disregard issue. I decided to try the #10 cams and after reassembling the Gunfighter and recalibrating, I got full range of motion detected.

So it was either changing the cams (don't know why) or just unplugging everything and putting it back together again. I did try unplugging the GF from the Black Box, but that didn't do anything before. This time I also unplugged the 4 pin connector in the GF as well as remove the grip, so maybe that did something.

Well, it's unlikely. Only a re-calibration can correct this. A screenshot of logical axes would not hurt.
