Gladiator Pro Mk. II firmware update disables axes

[gen66]

Hi all,

I tried to update the firmware on my Gladiator Pro Mk. II by using the bootloader option in VKBDevCfg v0.91.3.7 and _Gladiator_Pro_v1_99_A.vkb. Afterwards, the three axes (pitch, roll and throttle) stopped working, even after multiple reboots and attempts at calibration. In the tester, the gauge is stuck at the center and doesn't respond at all, just like for inactive axes. The buttons all work.

I then tried 2.00.4 (_Gladiator_KG12_Pro_v2_00_4.vkb) with the same result, and finally had to downgrade to 1.85B (_Gladiator_VKB_v1_85_B.vkb) for the axes to start working again.

Any ideas what might have gone wrong? Thanks!

First of all what device do you have? Gladiator Pro MKII =/= Gladiator MKII.
Do you have metal gimbal and swappable grip? Then you have a Gladiator Pro MKII => flash the file called _Gladiator_Pro_v1_99_A.vkb
Do you have plastic gimbal and fixed grip? Then you have Gladiator MKII => flash the file called _Gladiator_v1_99_A.vkb.
After flashing don't forget to reset to default and recalibrate.

Thanks for your quick reply. I have the pro version and did use _Gladiator_Pro_v1_99_A.vkb first. I just tried it again and it worked this time, everything's fine now. The only difference is that I hadn't reset to default earlier, but I did now.

Thanks for your help!

To piggyback on this, I am experiencing the same issue with a Gunfighter 1 with an MCG Pro. I updated to the _BlackBox_GF_MCG_PRO_v1_99_A.vkb firmware, and while all the buttons work, none of the analog axes are working now.

Reset to default after flashing and still won't work? If yes please post a screenshot with Global/External tabs.

Hi, I missed that part of the previous post. I reset to default after flashing and everything is working fine now, was able to calibrate without issue. Thanks!
