Hello,
I am a new owner of a couple of GNXT and I discover the VKB Device config tool.
I try manything but I can't figure how to make the "Throttle wheel" have the 0 (no thrust) position on the bottom of the course. Is it possible ?
Can someone give me a hand please ?

If it's 100% at that position right now, just invert that axis in VKB software

Hello Admiki,
Thank for your reply, I gonna try to explain my trouble.
I already invert that axis, so the direction of the wheel is fine for me.
The problem is that if you look the new pic, the full bottom position isn't 0 value.
Full top is 65535, middle 32767, but full bottom should have been (according to me) 0 and it's 65535
For the 0 value I need to be almost full down but not full down. Maybe that the way the stick have to work, I don't know.
That why I asking information, is there a way full bottom position be 0 ?

Open VKBDevCfg, navigate to Test/Axes1, click on the Tools tab, then on the Start Calibr button. Calibrate your joystick by pushing the grip along the whole axis' range on pitch and roll, twist it left and right, push the mini-throttle up and down. If you have the Premium version click on the center button of the A1 ministick and, when the small red LED lights up on the grip, move the ministick in all directions. When all done press the End Calibr button and this will solve your throttle issue and all other axes' issues that you've have not yet found

Hello Fallout9,
Many thank, I have have done the calibration at first setup then I update the bios, maybe parameters have been erased during flash.
To be honest I can't remember if I do the throttle calibration during first calibration.
Either way you solve my problem, thank to your reply.
And for those who still wonders if those stick worth it, simple answer : yes.
Came from T16000 and what a gap, I love the GNXT.

I have the same problem and no matter how many times I calibrate I cannot get it to zero at the bottom. I tried changing the values in the Physical Axes window under profile but was only able to modify the top throttle position.

Do this: press the Default button under Tools tab and calibrate your joystick, then check the box for Axis Z and press Set as below:
