Run VKBdevCfg (it is recommended to "Run as administrator")
1. From within VKBdevCfg, click on the VKBsim device name to activate it
2. Click the ‘Start Calibr’ button, and then move your joystick's grip to all extents: full left, full right, full forward, full back. For VKB Rudders, depress the left and the right rudder pedal fully; for VKB Gladiators, include the throttle axis.
3. Click the ‘End Calibr’ button.
4. Done!

Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
Just a quick question: In case automatic calibration doesnt work properly and you do it manually, what does the MPL value actually do in detail? It seems to be used as a multiplier during normalization, thus I am interested whether there are any drawbacks associated in changing it (particualarly increasing it, as this is what I have to do)
Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
MPL really is a multiplier during normalization. "MPL Multiplier. Binary multiplier for sensor response normalization.
Value range is 15...+15. Default value for D_MaRS is 9, for analog
sensors— 8." From here http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Documentations/controller_2_10_En.pdf.
The following actions I do to calibrate an axis manually.
Set MPL to default value.
Set KdHi and KdLo to 100...130. So when I move grip its response is less then extreme values.
Change BIAS to find centerpoint of axis response 32767 or near)))
Sequentially change KdHi and KdLo to reach extreme values of response, 0 and 65535.
In rare cases change MPL, if needed KdHi and KdLo become too small or too high. They must be roughly about 100. 90...170.

Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
Does VKBdevCfg software replace Wizzo, I have got a new Gladiator Mk2.

Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
Think of Wizzo as VKBDevconfig "Lite". You can do some silly things like calibrate and set dead bands with it but for actually programming the stick you need to use VKBDevconfig.
Whatever you do under no circumstances should you use windows to even try to calibrate!

Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
When I go to calibrate my VKB Gladiator Mk II by means of the hardware calibration (Pressing Flaps and Eject at the same time), The green mode LED flashes. I take all the axis through their complete ranges and then press the trigger button, just as the documentation says. When I press the trigger button, Both red and green lights begin flashing rapidly and there is nothing I can do to stop it but to reboot it (unplug it and plug it back in). The stick won't restart itself.
Any idea of what's going on here?

Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
I've tried to do the same operations. Everything was OK(. What firmware version do you use?

Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
The only reason is - NOT all axes were moved through the whole range, from one extreme position to another. X, Y, twist, Throttle. Check please.

Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
Yeah, my bad. I was forgetting about the twist. Once I did that, it worked normally. Thanks for your reply.
Re: How to Calibrate VKB Devices
I just got a Gladiator Pro (Finally)
I plugged in my T Rudder pedals and they don't respond properly, so I tried the Flaps/Eject calibration method. Lights flash, operate pitch, then roll, then yaw right, yaw left then throttle advance, retreat. The red and green buttons continue to flash after trigger pulled, so I must be missing something. I don't know which firmware is in the unit and I don't know how to find out either. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have T Rudders Mk3. Gladiator Mk1 & 2 and Gladiator Pro so I am committed to VKB.
