VKB Gunfighter MkII pro and the Mi-8

[Razorback]

Hi,

I just bought the Gunfighter MKII pro.

I directly connected the stick on my PC and started DCS.

The stick was immediately recognized and the assigned the buttons for the Mi-8 module.

Most of the switches and buttons are working fine via the "control Menu" except for the :

- Metal Brake lever

- Contactless ministick

 

Why are these buttons not recognized ?

Do I have the first run the VKB software IOT and configure some buttons before connecting my stick on DCS ?

Are these two buttons/ministick normally usable with the Mi-8 module ?

 

 

Thx a lot,

Chris

You definitely should at least calibrate the stick in the VKB software.

Is this the MCG Grip?

The Metal Brake Lever by default is an axis IIRC. You can assign a button to it also in the software.

You can also check your other buttons from within the software as well.

As dburne mentioned, prior calibration of your Gunfighter w/ MCG grip is required for the MaRS sensor to identify the correct range of motion of all axes.
