As you can no doubt tell from the above, I am a complete novice where advanced jopysticks are concerned.

Eight weeks ago I purchase the Gunfighter Pro Mk. III grip/base and the MCG Twist Adapter, to replace a Thrustmaster T.16000M which is wearing out after only a few months use.

Having eventually managed to figure out how to put the Gunfighter joystick and adapter together (thank you video makers!), I have spent the time since then trying to figure out how to configure it.

I have downloaded the latest configuration software (VKB Device Config v0.91.12) and the user manual (controller_2_11_En.pdf). 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 can find is on the store page for the adapter, where 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

Unfortunately it doesn’t tell me which two boxes I should 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.

I submitted a support ticket but I have had no response, so I am hoping someone here can help me. Can someone please tell me which configurator boxes I need to check, or what else I need to do, so that I can configure the twist adapter and actually start to use it?

Thank you.

Here's the guide for flashing and calibrating the MCG Pro grip: https://youtu.be/LBW0P1mlGno
Download the firmware, the configurator and the bootloader, put them all in the same folder, unzip them all, flash the file called _BlackBox_MK2_GF_MCG_PRO_Twist_v1_99_A.vkb following the directions in the video.
