Release notes for firmware 2.11.5 and tool v0.92.33

You got me curious so I flashed back to 2.11.5 - and checked that, yes Ultimate was selected there. Still though DCS reports it as MCG Pro.
Flashed back to 2.11.1 and all is well again , showing as Ultimate with my settings intact.
Maybe a bug in 2.11.5?
I should also add the first one I tried was 2.11.0 and it too showed up as MCG Pro in DCS, but then tried 2.11.1 and it worked properly.

Somehow I know I’d tingle your curiosity Thanks for the update, will inform Alex about it.

Lol yeah no problem, I had to at least check it out. Thanks for letting them know, hopefully they can get to the bottom of this before it maybe affects more users.

A little additional information - I tested each firmware revision I had access to:
2.11.0 - DCS recognized incorrectly as MCG Pro Grip
2.11.1 - DCS recognized correctly as Ultimate Grip.
2.11.2 - DCS recognized incorrectly as MCG Pro Grip.
2.11.5 Release - DCS recognized incorrectly as MCG Pro Grip.

Hope this helps, let me know if 2.11.5 get corrected to where DCS will recognize appropriately as Ultimate Grip, otherwise I will stick with 2.11.1.

I usually download the updated configs and firmwares as they come out. Pay no attentionto my sig, I haven't updated it in a while! Not sure which version of config I'm on but want to say it's 92.33 or whatever the newest one is. IIRC when I looked at the top it was only compatible up to FW v2.11.0 so while I have the newer FWs, I didn't bother flashing them. I don't think I"ve seen a config compatible with .5 yet but I haven't looked in a couple of days. I've found the best practice is to always update the config first specifically so I can see up to what version FW it's supposed to work with that's listed at the top of config. While you can flash newer FW's than that, it may or may not work properly. Once I see a config with a newer FW at the top I'll flash to that FW version and see what happens.

edit: I just stole a screenie from the other FW post and yes, 92.33 does list the FW version of 2.11.0 as the highest compatible. I do see your list still does show your stick as misidentified under that version tho. Really weird!

Yeah that is really odd especially as on mine only firmware 2.11.1 will show my Ultimate Grip correctly in DCS. Not too fond of it being reported as a MCG Pro Grip in DCS and especially would have to assign all my buttons again. Maybe the next configurator update will fix this, although seems to me that would be more in the firmware side of things but who knows.
