Port marked SYS on Gladiator MK2 base

Postby rgallo90@846pi » Fri Jan 11, 2019 0:43

Hello VKB forum

I have the Gladiator MK2 non pro joystick.
What does the connector port on the back side of base marked SYS do.
My Question: Is this for the TECS throttle HOTAS cable port.
Cant find no info about this anywhere.

This is a port connector for connecting other VKB devices with the same connector. You can merge, but at the same time we have a Windows restriction in only 8 axes. We have to combine, disconnect something for each model of the aircraft. This is easily done by profiles.

Hmm... that means we won't be able to use all the axes of the MCG Pro as a single device if it gets its twist adapter, I guess. Does the firmware support separating the axes among several logical devices or something?

Hello Ron 61

The only other VKB device you have right now are the VKB pedals that plug into the Pedals port on the back of base.
What do you mean : This is a port connector for connecting other VKB devices with the same connector. Confused.
What other devices are you talking about?
What is going to connect to the SYS port?
My question: Do you plan on releasing a Hotas throttle to work with the Gladiator Mk2 non pro stick.
I have seen pictures of the TECS Hotas throttle on the forum.
I don't use Windows only MacOS.
Thanks Lombra for the extra info.

RG

You can connect to the Gladiator Gunfighter and use the buttons on the base together. Or to this bundle another controller Njoy32.
And in profiles to vary the number of axes, hat, microstick. It is better to have such a possibility than not to have it.
TECS will be a separate device with its panels and there will be no connection to the Gladiator. It will complement each other.
