Issues after installing latest firmware

Hello, I recently installed the latest firmware to my Gunfighter and have been having a few issues since.

The primary issue is that my rudder pedals are no longer working.

The light is showing on the black box, however for some reason I can not get any rudder activity to appear in joytester or in games.

Troubleshooting steps tried:
  • Replacing Ethernet cable
  • Re-installing firmware
  • Reverting all settings to default
  • Multiple calibrations

I have also seen "err-state active" appear as the state in VKBDevCfg. It only appears occasionally and doesn't seem to effect any functions. The lights on the gunfighter and blackbox look normal.
Troubleshooting steps tried:
  • Removed & re-connected the flight stick to the base.

Devices:
  • Gunfighter Mk.III ‘Modern Combat Edition’ w/ MCG PRO Grip (3-pin Rev.B) with Twist Adapter
  • Blackbox Mk2 (Connected to Gunfighter and T-Rudder. Connects to PC via powered USB hub)
  • T-Rudders Mk IV

Firmware:
  • _BlackBox_MK2_GF_MCG_PRO_Twist_v1_99_6

Number and type of springs used:
  • 1 30# on each axis

Тype of cams used
  • flight s

Software info:
  • VKBDevCfg-C v0.91.30
  • VKB_JoyTester latest version
  • Windows 10 2004

Twist and Rudders. Choose one :)
Basically your MCG Pro has all the 8 axes slots filled up and there's no more room for the rudders. You have 1/pitch, 2/roll, 3/twist, 4 and 5/Gate Cont ministick, 6 and 7/Master Mode and 8/hand brake. If you want to use your rudders you could either plug them into your system with their own black box or flash the no twist firmware for your device.

That fixed it, thanks!

I'm not sure why I didn't have that issue before.

I was previously using twist, then the t-rudder arrived i just plugged it in and it worked

Oh well, it's working great now. I appreciate your help.
