1 - Device model and version
2 - Controller Firmware version
3 - Number and type of springs used
4 - Тype of cams used
5 - If VKB original software is used, please always mention its version
If the question is in regards to joystick/pedals axes, please additionally post:
6 - Vkbjoytester screenshots. Download it here: http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Programms/VKB_JoyTester.zip
7 - Vkbdevcfg-c screenshots. Download it here: http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Programms/; make sure you're downloading the newest version.

VKB Gladiator NXT (GNX Standard Left)
v2.055
2 #10 springs
default cams
VKB Device Config v0.91.96 (NJoy32 firmware v2.05.3)

I am trying to calibrate but the "Rot Z" does not respond.
Axis X, Y, Z respond fine.

I tried using "Default" in the VKB Device Config and then "Start Calibr", but when I view the "Test" section and twist the stick, the "Rot Z" does not move at all.

I was able to calibrate my VKB Gladiator NXT (GNX Premium Right) stick successfully on the first try. However, the left stick isn't working correctly.

Besides assembling the joystick, the only modification I have made was that I swapped out the default springs for the X and Y axis with some #10 springs.

I'm not sure what to do next to fix.

Also, it's strange that it appears as "VKBsim Gladiator NXT R XT v2.055", even thought it is a left handed stick. As I troubleshoot, that is the only stick I have plugged into my PC at the moment.
