New Gladiator MKII - Rudder/Twist Shimmy

[VTX1800F]

I just bought this last week. So after using it for the past week in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, X-Plane 11+ and DCS, I started to observe my rudder flipping back and forth. At this point, this is only being seen on MSFS20 when using the Gladiator MKII. I do not see this behavior with any of my other pedals in MSFS20, X-Plane or DCS.

I did apply the latest Firmware last week when I received the stick.

Based upon the attached configuration images do you have any suggestions regarding how to stop my rudder shimmy.

Hi, looking at your screenshots it seems your device is properly flashed and running the latest software, but it's been only partially calibrated. In order to get it working as designed open VKBDevCfg, press the Default button (under Tools tab) to reset it to default, then go to Test/ Axes1 and hit the Start Calibr button. Move your grip along pitch and roll axes end to end slowly a few times, then twist it end to end slowly, then run the throttle on its whole range back and forth. When done click on the End Calibr button and you're ready to go!

Dumb question what firmware did you use?
I have been trying to flash mine but keep getting errors, love MSF2020 but dang it sucks with a flaky controller

Hi Pez,

Latest stable firmware and software could be found here. For Gladiator MKII please flash this file: _Gladiator_v1_99_6.vkb. For Gladiator K this file: _Gladiator_SCG_v1_99_6.vkb.

Fallout9,
I thought I might have used the wrong file but you confirmed I had the right one, I lost my twist (rudder) but once you confirmed I felt better re-flashing it (was worried about bricking it), and I got my rudder back.


Thanks!!
