How to configure multiple devices? - MCG Pro + T-Rudder MkIV

Hello everybody,

I just got a MCG Pro + Twist joystick and a set of the T-Rudder Mk IV pedals.

I have the MCG flashed, configured and calibrated via the VKB Device Config utility- it works great, and I love it!

I have plugged the T-Rudder pedals into the Blackbox via the ethernet cable- but now am unsure what to do next. It doesn't show up on it's own.

If I flash with the T-Rudder firmware will it overwrite the MCG Firmware or add it?

The T-Rudder came with it's own BlackBox- should I be using that instead of running them both from the same unit?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, please see this similar thread (it's about a MCG Pro, but the U is similar when it comes to rudders).

Hello,

I have the same problem.
I saw the thread you linked but i dont understand.
I have a Gunfighter Ultimate without twist and rudder pedals.
When i am flashing the firmware for the pedals, the gunfighter is not connected anymore and i cant use it.
Do i have to use two black box ?

Thank you

Hey Zofar, you could use 2 BBs, but the most straightforward is to plug them both in the same BB, flash it with the MCGU-no-twist firmware, reset it to Default and calibrate it, including the rudders into calibration too. In this case the rudders won't show up anymore in the device list, but they would work as an integrated part into the MCGU and its base.

Ok it is working, i understand now. I was looking for a more complicated solution when in fact, it is very simple.

Thank you again !
