How to program VKB controller

Postby shiner421 » Sun Sep 20, 2020 20:21

This has to be the worst and most confusing, nonsensical software I have ever seen. It is so badly designed taht i cant make heads or tails of it (and Oracle fusion is easy to me).

Is it possible to setup the 2nd stag trigger to be a combination of my primary fire and seconadry fire in Elite dangerous?

I am trying to figure out how to set that up but again VKB knows nothing about software or user interfaces, and I am having less then zero luck. Quite frustrating for something that should be a piece of cake.

Maybe you're just overcomplicating things?

Actually that sets your secondary fire as your primary and secondary trigger. When i do that my secondary fire doesnt work. So I want to set my primary trigger to be fire, button 3 to be secondary fire and the 2nd stage Triger to be both button 1 and 3, and to have them fire continuously while pressed.

I think you should try again, it just works.

Hi folks, sorry for necroing this thread, but I'm having issues with my Gladiator NXT and trying to set it up along with my Virpil throttle... with my previous HOTAS setup (Thrustmaster TWCS throttle and CH Fighterstick joystick) I had no issues since every time in ED when I tried to configure a button, it just worked... now, it seems there's a conflict between both inputs, and only the main axis of the joystick is recognized, whereas the throttle has no issues being fully recognized... Any ideas on how to solve this?

Many thanks in advance!

What do you mean by 'main axis'? Are the buttons recognized in game? Have you tried joystick's buttons and axes in a tester?

By main axis I mean the main grip axis...

And I haven't found a tester where the buttons would show up, I don't know if there's an inherent conflict with both controllers being connected at the same time but no button or hat or trigger from the Gladiator NXT is being recognized...

Run VKBDevCfg, navigate to Test/Buttons and see if the buttons on your joystick works. You could test the axes in Test/Axes1.

Hmm, apparently only Axis X and Y are registering, nothing else...
