VKB-SIM

Recently purchased the NXT. I've been able to connect with VKB config software and have calibrated. MSFS will recognize it and let me map inputs. But when I get a plane on the runway, nothing. I had a Thrustmaster that worked as well as could be expected (which is why I got the Gladiator). I'm likely making an obvious mistake but would appreciate a pointer so I can get in the air. Tia.

One more thing: what do you use on the Gladiator to control the throttle?

Make sure you're binding axes to analog and buttons to digital.
