Gunfigher Mk II MCG Pro Eng X Axis broken

Postby Marc » Thu Feb 20, 2020 20:08

Hello

today I was in DCS and suddenly the plane startet to roll to the right like hell and didn't stop. After a reset, it was flying straight again but I couldn't turn to the left, only very very slightly. Thereafter I looked in to my VKB def and found the following. I already did a new calibration, I pressed the defauld button and then a new calibration and also removed the cable from the x axis and have put it back on. Any idea or help would be much appreciated.

Attached you'll find three pictures of the Vkb Dev. I have also three pictures from the JoyTester but I couldn't upload these ones as the server just allows an upload of three items.

I am using the following:
Gunfighter Mk II MCG Pro Englisch v. 1.986
NJoy32 firmware v.1.98.5
VKBdev v.0.91.10

Thank you for your help in advance

Which axis are you using for roll? Do you have a twist module on your MCG Pro?

according to the TEST page I'm using the Axis X for roll movement and I have not a twist module installed. I'm having the 200mm extension installed and I'm using one 50 and one 20 spring per axis.

The X axis is totally uncalibrated in your screenshot, try to calibrate it again.

done but I can't calibrate it as it should be because I don't get the full travel of the x-axis....see screenshot below which I took during calibration. The upper picture is full left physical detend and the lower one full right physical detend

Have you swapped cams recently?

No sir, I swapped the soft center to the hard center cams immediately upon arrival of the stick and as well as the springs. Thereafter I never touched anything again apart from the grip while flying.

Can you open the base at the bottom and post a picture?

Reconnect the X-axis cable, on both sides, and calibrate again. After, show a screenshot from the Profile-Axes tab.

I've reconnected it but I still can't calibrate it right as everything remains as it is......full right physical movement does not go full right within the vkd dev and full left still gives just a little movement also to the right.

Did the X axis cable inside the base be reconnected?
