Unfortunately no, nothing much to do in this regard with the Gladiator MKII.

Try using rubber bands in place of springs. It will make stick very soft.

OP request was actually towards the GF III base, add I agree, the space S cams don't go the whole mile, we need a Space SS, too.

Hello.
A possible solution would be to eliminate the 2 springs - the horizontal and the vertical - and replace them with 4 springs that go from the corners of a square to the center of the base of the Stick. This eliminates the forceful blow that is felt when going from horizontal to vertical plane.
The old Thrurmaster Hotas cougar had the same system as the gladiator nxt - which is the joystick I have. There are mods of individuals who applied the 4 springs in the corner to improve the fluidity of movement.
You can see it in a forum. cougar.flyfoxy.com

Pretty busy on the production line with all the NXT modules getting ready, but they'll come out eventually. No release date at this time, sorry.

Thank you for input, but this discussion is about the GunFighter base, not the NXT.

.
Thanks for answering.
If the spring system is similar, the possible solution would be the same for the nxt and the gunfighter - 2 birds are killed with one stone!
In a direct mail, I have expressed my desire to return the nxt, considering a wrong design, the double spring system, despite considering the Stick as very good. But I'm going to give it a try.
I don't dare to make these modifications, I have paid a lot for the joystick, but you - VKB- could do it. It is a very cheap thing, a washer, 4 spring springs and 4 screws.
From what I have read in other forums, it is something that works.
Greetings.

Thank you for suggestion, but the GunFighter base is based on cams, as you can see here.

I think you need to do some more research, the gimbals of the NXT and the Gunfighter are very different designs.

You could also look at the price of a Gunfighter + well any of the grips but especially the MCG Pro Ultimate...you didn't pay a lot for your NXT. :lol:

I think I paid enough to have a good joystick. I keep saying that the double spring system is a failed design, and for 185 euros a better product could have been designed.
I sent a direct mail to VKB expressing this sentiment and I have not received a response. At least writing in this thread has helped me!
Well, let me - VKB - suggest you improve the design of the NXT base.
Greetings.

Once again, this is a thread about the cams on the GunFighter base! Your comments are totally off topic; please feel free to open another thread with your issues.

Okay.
But I hope my proposal will be considered.
