aaron886 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 What? That's exactly how the trigger works.
PabstBleuRibbon Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Seems that randomly there will be a tons of buttons marked as pressed in the VKB software (all most recent versions) until it is reset through the software. Not sure if this is a known bug with the firmware? I've had this issue as well, see this thread: http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2959&sid=c457c7fcc187a137e62241ffe7333ad9 I ended up installing a beta firmware (found on the above thread) and that fixed the issue. Hopefully VKB should release updated firmware/software soon? This bug, as well as full functionality for the MCG trigger have been in limbo for a while now.

I will hold off until it releases... since it is only unused buttons it doesn't really bother me. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo

AeroGator Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Things settling down over there at VKB or still madness? :joystick: Some madness is good for bizzznis :) We're having big plans for the year of the Dog, so there are many things we're trying to handle. Of course giving people stable and reliable firmware is near the top of the list. But there are other things, too - also on the top... The craze of the first weeks after MCG hit the market is over, thanks Dog! More coming... > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator

rrohde Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I did notice if the trigger is multi contact or just a simple push to activate model it would be nice to have a dual contact trigger half way for one action then completely depressed for another action. The MCG PRO's metal trigger has a MaRS sensor and acts like an axis that can have multiple virtual buttons assigned along its way of travel. There's also a physical button at the end of travel.

Santus Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Does this product have a twist axis for rudder assignment? Are there any retailers for Greece? thank you - Livery Catalog - Youtube channel
Seb71 Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 As it is there, it does not have twist. The MCG grip is supposed to get a twist adapter. The only place to buy VKB products in EU is from here. Gladiator Pro Mk. II + MCG is not in stock there, either. I'll advise you to go for the Gunfighter base instead of Gladiator Pro Mk. II base. It uses the new connector (3-pin Rev. B) for the grips.
M0ltar Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I just updated firmware, but I must be missing something. Can anyone point me to where I can change to reg to increase the number of buttons that I can use? I dont see it anymore in the VKB Device Config. I used to have access to reg 11, but I cant see where to change that now and all of those buttons are grayed out. Im sure its something simple, but can't find it.

You might have to choose Generic Device (rather than MCG) for the grip; that should open up a lot more buttons.

Mel Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I have the Gunfighter Mk.I (regular, not pro) and considering getting the MCG PRO when it's released in europe if i can get hold of the stick extension for it, but they don't list the extension in the european store :(. I understand that the 3-pin connector used in the Gunfighter Mk.I has been replaced with a Rev.B in the new new Mk.II Gunfighter and that VKB are focusing on the new connector from now on. My worries are that by the time the next grip or accessory comes out down the road the old revision 3-pin will be unsupported. Has there been any statement on this? I'm very happy with the Gunfighter base. It's the best gimbal i've tried, and i use it with the Warthog and KG-12 (i would love a metal KG-12!) grips, so i was hoping it would get upgrade support for a few years atleast.
BlacleyCole Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I know they have grips listed on the na site for the old pin setup maybe they will either build an adapter from the old 3 pin to the new rev b setup or even build an extension that mates to the old base but accepts the new grips since the connectors are they only divaition between the two setups.

microvax Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 They stated that they will continue support for the gunfighter I as long as for the gunfighter 2. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ? What is happening ?
M0ltar Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I also seem to be having issues where when the my PC is on for awhile buttons on my Gunfighter get stuck on for some reason. Unplugging it and plugging it back in fixes it. Any idea why this is happening? Tried a couple different USB ports. When the buttons are stuck on they are unresponsive in game and in the vkbdevfg software until its replugged in.

Slims Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Any word on the stock for VKB - EU ? We received no news on the "upcoming" stock, no pre-order has started and no new site has been launched. Is there any chance to have MGC gunfighter, and rudder pedals in stock near the end of march/beginning of april ? Thanks. Edited March 15, 2018 by Slims
