gladiator joystick and MCG Pro joystick linked together

[Styxou]

Hi everybody,

I purchased last Christmas the Gladiator joystick because the MCG pro was not available.
Now I just purchased the MCG Pro and wanted them to work together: MCG for all axis and the Gladiator for throttle and buttons.
I am not able to make my computeur to recognize them both and I don't know how to do.
I use Wizo for calibration.
I found this forum but don't find the way to do.
My VKB rudder pedal is connected to blackbox and MCG Pro also to blackbox, then to computer.
The Gladiator is alone and is my computer usb directly connected. I want to use it as athrottle-buttons device, because VKB don't sell throttle.
Could somebody help me please ?
Thank you for answer.
Best regards.

So let me get this straight - you have 1 Gladiator, 1 GFIII/MCG Pro and 1 set of pedals. They're all plugged in, but your computer doesn't recognize some: which ones of these 3 devices are not getting recognized? Have you also tried to bind them in any game to see if they work?

Hi fallout 9,
I play IL2 1946 , today I linked MCG pro + pedals and an old Saitek AV8R-02 (made for Xbox) and it worked together , throttle and buttons for the Saitek and axis and button + pedals for MCG pro would be recognized. I used one usb port for Saitek and one another usb port for MCG+pedals.
Yesterday I wanted to do the same with the Gladiator instead of the Saitek, but the Gladiator wouln't be recognised as throttle and buttons, the MCG pro + pedals worked fine.
It seemes to me that a simply mouse wheel works as throttel + MCG+ pedals pro (it works) and the Gladiator + MCG + pedals wouldn't do that.
Thanks for your ideas.
Best regards.

I would buy a good throttle with buttons, but VKB does't sell any. What would you recommend to work with MCG pro ?
Thank you.

So you get into Il-2, try to bind the Gladiator's throttle and it doesn't work?

Everything works fine now, I made another try and things are right now !
I made somewhere a mistake...
Thank you for your help, you give me the will to go further and to find out.
What throttle do you use ?
I would like VKB to build one, I would buy it, but I found nothing.
Thanks.

Cheers.

Glad you've fixed it!
As about the throttle, I would suggest to be a bit patient for a while, at some point we'll get this: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2880&hilit=tecs
