VKB Gunfighter MK2 and MCG Pro + Warthog Throttle + Saitek Pro Combat Rudders.

I'd like to chime in with my own personal experience: I haven't been able to play multiplayer DCS seriously for a while because of the absolutely incredible server instability. I got so frustrated after the 50th time ACG's server had crashed mid-sortie that I just went and played BMS because somehow P2P servers on a 20 year old game are more stable. I will probably never play DCS singleplayer in any meaningful capacity and my sole interest in this simulator comes from content provided by the multiplayer community. My patience for the constant problems introduced in every update wore off a while ago and I'm left staring at the joystick in my closet. Seriously, ED, I love you guys, but please, the multiplayer side of this game needs a serious overhaul.

Without editing config files, two way switches are by default only recognized as one button. I personally don't like adding lines to config files to get my buttons working. I also assume that most people who play DCS also play other sims, like IL2 or Elite/Star Citizen.

On the contrary, I would suggest more buttons than switches. Many games are incapable of recognizing two position switches without a multitude of scripting and custom software. The switches are my biggest gripe right now with the Warthog Throttle.

Sounds good then, thanks!

Is there a semi-guesstimate-completely-not-promised release date for this, yet? I'm assuming it's going to be within 2018 at least.

Whatever you find yourself using throttle base switches or key commands for, you can bind them to the buttons. My MCG has made it possible to keep my hands on the stick and throttle for 90% of the actions I will make when flying the harrier. You just have to experiment and be creative with your bindings ;)

Wow! My Warthog throttle started dying just in time... Just waiting on some pedals with toe brakes and I will go full VKB.

It turns out the screws holding the connector inside the stick itself weren't tightened. I put it back in place and tightened the screws and the issue is completely solved. I wonder if it is the result of a rushed manufacturing process? It seems a little odd to have loose screws in the internals of a stick.

Something interesting just developed with my grip. The connector collar seems to have come loose and now has a bit of play. This translates into quite a bit of left and right motion when it's connected to the base. This seems to have happened after I had pulled the stick on and off of the base a few times while adjusting the dry clutches. Is this normal?

Looks like that did the trick. I did something wonky during my initial calibration. The language used is kind of confusing, though. What does "forward" and "a center position" mean ?

Hmm, very interesting. So far I have not been able to get the trigger to activate any button other than the pull back. Is there something I missed in calibration?

My immediate thought when I saw how the axis moved was, "this is perfect for trimming!" I do have to say that the VKBDevCfg GUI is absolutely horrendous. It took me a good while of clicking around to figure out what I was even looking at! My final question (for now): what does the Enable MCG PRO Trigger box mean? It seems that you can set different stages of the trigger to activate a different button. Edit: I can confirm that the analog axis is not recognized in DCS

I just received my Gunfighter/MCG Pro, and all I have to say is WOW! One thing I am very confused about is the Master Mode hat. Is there any explanation from VKB about its capabilities?

Everything I've been reading about it seems to be very positive. This only compounds on my excitement!

Excellent, thanks! Time to finally pull the trigger on some Monstertech mounts.

Hi, Will the MCG PRO have the ability to lock at an angle like the VPC T-50? I'm looking into center mounting options and am wondering whether or not they would be viable.

I've had this problem for about a year now, and I can't find anything on it what so ever. Can anybody help me? I've tried to repair DCS about 3 times already, and my DirectX is already up to date. So can anyone help me?
