Gladiator NXT Rudder Axis behaves like on/off switch

Postby riveter » Sun Dec 27, 2020 2:18

I have received my Gladiator NXT and calibrated it. I have tested the mapping in the VKB Sim Wizzo and found the rudder axis has mapped to L BRK. Also, the rudder axis behaves like a digital input (on/off). The Pitch, Bank, and Throttle have mapped correctly and respond as analog inputs as they should. What can I do to fix it? I did try flashing the firmware but it says device disconnected, but it is connected.

Please use the VKBDevCfg to calibrate: download it from here, open it, navigate to Test/Axes, then to Tools and press the large square Start Calibr button. Move all joystick along all its axes, ministick and throttle included and when done press the End Calibr. button.
Please report back if it still doesn't work.

I calibrated with VKBDevCfg and now the rudder axis is working correctly. I also updated the firmware to '_Gladiator_NXT_v2_00_7'. But the rudder axis still shows as L BRK in Wizzo. But it works fine in Flight Simulator. Is there a way to correct it in Wizzo?

Don't worry about Wizzo as long as it's acting properly in VKBDevCfg. Have fun with it!

Working great in Flight Simulator. I'll just delete Wizzo so I don't think about it.
Thanks!
