Configuring Gunfighter Pro Mk. III grip with MCG Twist Adapter

Postby pchester2020 » Wed Jul 08, 2020 13:46

Hi can anyone advise me on setting up the Gunfighter Pro Mk. III grip with the MCG Twist Adapter? I put in a support ticket several weeks weeks ago, but so far there has been no response.

After watching several helpful videos, I managed to install the adapter in the grip. I am now trying to configure it, but unfortunately the videos that I have watched all stop short of actually showing how to do this part.

I have downloaded the latest configuration software (VKB Device Config v0.91.12) and the user manual (controller_2_11_En.pdf), which I think are the correct ones. However, I can't find anywhere in the manual where it explains how to set up the Twist Grip adapter. The only information that I have been able to find is on the store page for the adapter, where, in the Installation section, it says:

· Re-configure the BlackBox (easy – just check two boxes in VKBdevCfg)
· Re-calibrate your Gunfighter w/ MCG including the newly added Z-axis
· Start flying

Unfortunately it doesn’t tell me which two boxes I need to check, and as a novice at setting up advanced joysticks I can’t see any boxes in the Configurator that obviously relate to the adapter.

Can anyone please tell me which configurator boxes I need to check so that I can set up the twist adapter, or point me to a video that actually shows this process?

Thank you.

So, if the twist module is already installed, here's what to do:

1. Download the latest Configurator: https://vkbcontrollers.com/wp-content/u ... 91.30.zip;
2. Download the latest Bootloader: https://vkbcontrollers.com/wp-content/u ... -v1_18.zip
3. Download the latest firmware package: https://vkbcontrollers.com/wp-content/u ... _99_63.zip
4. Take all the 3 files from above and put them in their own, dedicated folder;
5. Unzip the 3 files;
6. Flash the device using this firmware file _BlackBox_MK2_GF_MCG_PRO_Twist_v1_99_6.vkb while following this guide: https://youtu.be/LBW0P1mlGno
7. After flashing run a calibration following the same guide as above.

This should get your joystick up and running.
