VKB-SIM

Xplane 11 fully updated - Win 10

Just Purchased the Gladiator MKII

I first calibrated in Xplane 11 but although the XPlane Y and Z rotation showed it to be working the assignments to the yoke in the aircraft did not move.
I have full and free movement of the stick.

I then used the calibration tool in VKB properties but when I progressed to them with the settings tool I still could not get the Y and Z rotation to operate.
The + sign in the box shows full rotation and Z axis is ok - X rotation is ok - but when I get to Y and Z rotation calibration the band for Y simply stays in the middle and the Z band stays fixed on the left hand side.

As can be seen from the attached of the test box, where the + sign is at the bottom right there is no response from the Y and Z.
They stay fixed wherever the + sign is.

All other buttons etc are ok.
Oh - and I did restart my computer just in case.

Any solution please?

Try this:
- Unplug your joystick from USB;
- Plug back your joystick and within 10 seconds press and hold both Flaps and Eject buttons until the LED will start flashing rapidly;
- At this point move the joystick along its axes on the whole range: X, Y, Z, throttle;
- When done press the trigger and the joystick will reboot. After reboot the joystick is calibrated.
- Try again to use it in game, but like in any other games, you'll have to set up first and assign your controls.

Before doing calibration, you must run the configurator. He will determine that the calibration was done by Windows and will offer to fix it in the registry - you should agree.
And only after that do the calibration by means of the configurator or as described above.
Follow the simple rule - calibrate any VKB device only in the configurator, without using the Windows applet.

Thank you for your speedy replies fallout9 and Ron61

Silly question Ron61 but how do I run the configurator?

Not actually solved but now working

Well, the calibrator as shown above will still not respond on the yoke axes even after a reinstallation but I took a quick look in the simulator and everything is now OK.

Incredible.

Perhaps I have got so long in the tooth that I never thought to reinstall.

Once again you knowledgeable people thank you for taking the time to help.

Cheers
