How to use VKB Gladiator NXT with T-Rudder MK IV (new black box MK2)

[brostalski]

Hi, i get the new VKB Gladiator NXT (with twist axis) and the T-Rudder pedals. But how to use it together?
The new black box MK2 from the T-Rudders have only one usb cable (connect to the pc) and the Gladiator NXT have one too (no connection port at the joystick itselfs).
I downloaded the VKBDevCfg-C.exe and calibrate both, both are in device list.

In my game (IL2 Sturmovik BOS) i can not use the pedals (no reaction), the joystick works. Then i fixed the twist axis at the joystick (with the screw) and disabled the z-axis with the VKBDevCfg-C tool. Now, how to add the z-axis from pedals to the joystick???

Gladiator NXT and T-Rudders cannot be inter-connected, you'll have to plug them into computer in different USB ports.
Make sure you are binding the pedals to analog axes in game.
Another reason they wouldn't work in game is that you have (or had) too many devices: Il-2 recognizes only 8 devices and it's memorizing them, so if you've changed 8 devices in the past and the rudders are the 9th they won't get recognized, you'll have to delete the Input folder and assign again the existing devices.

Thanks for help, i checked the devices in /input/devices.txt (only 2 was there) and then checked the bindings in game controls. At "gear" there was the twist axis from the joystick and not from the pedals. My mistake. Thanks!

EDIT: the disabeling from the z-axis of the joystick was wrong too - this is the power control for the engines.

Wow, OK, interesting! Good to know, even though I don't play IL2. Do you know of any other games with this or other such interesting quirks?

Not really, Il-2 was the only game I ran into this issue.
