VKB-SIM

Brand new Gladiator registers correctly in every possible way. Version 1.85b and latest NJoy32 firmware of 1.94.9 into a new build of Windows 10 64 running Insider Build 18309 (most recent) on a i7 8700K Asus Strix Z370 Motherboard.

Calibrates correctly, found by both Windows 10 and VKB Device Config. However when I try to bind in War Thunder the program will not pick up the button click/assignment.

Anyone got any pointers? Thanks in advance.

Let's see...
Please answer 3 questions in full detail:
Check your device with VKB Joytester. Does the hat work OK? (Y/N, if N please describe and attach screenshots)
Does the hat work OK in other games' environment? (Y/N, if N please describe)
What other peripheral equipment besides VKB is plugged in your computer's USB ports? (full list with makes/brand names and models wherever possible)

We'll think over it when we have more information.
