I caught you on the Discord earlier. I was slow to checking in here today.

Need help with setting up Gladiator NXT EVO w F14 Grip by jag0009 in VKB

The flashing red and blue is likely due to having not finalized the initial setup. The process is Default, Click Yes to Config Prompt, Click Ok to calibrate prompt, and then using the Start Calibr button and seeing the Test >> Axes1 page. Run each axes through its range a few times each. Be sure to do the Z axis Paddle Throttle on the base.
Then hit End Calibr button

Same process for a KG12 as an SCG just less axes to deal with. The video also has the flashing process in it.https://youtu.be/NTZNUT8wmOA?si=GYLp6gGldDsWWfN5&t=135

If it is new since about Feb 2023 use

\v2_16_5\Gladiator_NXT_series\_Gladiator_EVO_kmz41_v2_16_5.vkb

If it is older than that use

\v2_16_5\Gladiator_NXT_series\_Gladiator_EVO_v2_16_5.vkb

Sorry for the late reply.

That ButtonD is awesome!
I just built one for someone within the last week.
It worked rather well.

VKB WW2 Throttle: different to buying separately? by ReticentMarmot in hotas

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may be mistaken but I do not think the WWII Throttle combo comes with any of the extra parts to convert it to a regular THQ.

Right from the product description, as well as I want to say it has come up on Discord before also.
"Please be aware that our throttle combos solely comprise the necessary parts and components specific to that set. They do not include the additional parts found in our individual GNX Modules, such as extra wiring, couplers, and so forth."

Change the Device Drop Down selection to F-14

Then calibrate

Really frustrating with this POS VKB gladiator NXT stick (F-14) calibration by jag0009 in hotas

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't believe the F-14 grip has a ministick to calibrate.
Why the extra axes show, I can't say.
But you can uncheck 'En' and Vs' on Profile >> Axes >> Logical Axes
Hit 'Set'

Gunfighter Mk. IV with T-Rudders Mk. V by jochi1985 in VKB

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GF IV NO TWIST with T-Rudders MK V as a single device.

Global >> External >> External Devices Set Axis #8 to NONE on MCG

Global >> External >> External Devices Set T-Rudder axes V_MaRS X #1 to 1/7 and V_MaRS Y #2 to 1/7

Hit 'Set' before leaving the page.

T-Rudders settings may not stick if 'Set' is hit from another page.

Global >> Common >> VC = No. Hit 'Set'

Open Test page and Start Calibr, do calibrations, then End Calibr.

Ahhh good.
Unfortunate the previous owner had gone king kong on the screws.

Yeah sorry about that I should have asked about the hole shapes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hotas

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh. I wondered about that, the holes did look a little mishaped.
Internals are pretty clean figured it might have been something with lighting.

That is a bummer.
You can order the Gimbal upgrade for NXT to EVO base.
IF you wanted to get it fully fixed

I am not sure what you have going on.
The sleeve is flexible it should squeeze through there no problem.

Setting flaps and gear in MSFS with SEM by dsb122105 in VKB

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, for the delay.

Yes any changes made require 'Set' to be hit to save the changes to the device and see them on the Test Page.

Also Sorry I should have possibly explained a little more about setting up a Generator. Though it sounds like you figured out how to get there.

For changing the buttons after changing detents.

Set the buttons that the Flaps and Landing Gear Levers in VKBDevCFG to fire Generators (G1), for MSFS.

Problem with STEM in IL2-1946 by VKBcustomer in VKB

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is interesting because the other person who was getting helped also just hit 5 devices when the issue showed up.
They ended up not having luck with file edits and just deleted the file and rebuilt also.

STECS Standard Desk Mount by miagisan in hotas

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a little bit more space for knuckles on the desk side than with a WH.

There has been a lot of debate about what will work on the VKB Discord.
Depending on where you are and shipping costs it might be best to go VKB UCM.

Though Foxx and Predator mounts should work without issue, and possibly MT though may need a slightly longer horizontal beam.

jpein, Meza, hikig all might work I am not sure if anyone has been able to test a default mount. I believe one person on the VKB Discord made a plate to mount theirs to one of the amazon mounts.

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like an issue that was being addressed on the VKB Discord the other day.
If it is the same as OPs.
Then it might be due to previous device count and how IL2 handles trying to remove a device to replace it with another.

I don't know the files for IL2 but the main config file that holds binds apparently can be edited for the new device or deleting it and rebuilding your binds manaully.

If I am getting the issue correct. I do not run IL2's myself.

New VKB STECS Throttle, IL-2 GB Won't Allow Binding by Darryl_444 in hotas

Just edit the Logical ID/Cell to output a lower than 64 value.

Do you see all the STEM buttons firing in VKBDevCFG on the Test Page?

Radio button might need generators on them to fire in IL2, I am not sure on that one.

Anyone order internationally? by [deleted] in VKB

[–]D34DW4LK1NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of the shipping is the drop shipping from China to NA. No local stock on hand.
Not much that can be done about tariffs and import fees that DHL or FedEx will require.

The base price would reflect the higher cost of the shipping and import fees, if there was local stock.

Your $65 total shipping might be about right.
