Virpil WarBRD Base w/TM F/A-18C Hornet Stick: 8W Hat/Trim Input Issues

[ΗΟLΙDΛΥ]

Just got a new Virpil WarBRD Base mounted on Monstertech Seat Mounts w/Stock Gambles & Heavy Springs. I'm using the Thrustmaster F/A-18C Hornet Stick on the base.

 

Installed the Virpil Software (Latest Version), updated the firmware, created profiles, have everything mapped in DCS, et cetera.

 

I'm experiencing an issue with the 8 Way Hat/Trim Switch not responsive on the Hornet Stick. In the Virpil Software Button View, I see when I press the hat up/down/left/right the input reads on, off, on, off and so on. So basically I have to keep pressing the trim hat to get the aircraft to trim as opposed to holding the hat to trim the aircraft which is a LOT quicker and the trim behavior I'm used too with the Warthog Base.

 

Does anyone know the fix for this?

is this hat configured as a POV in the VPC config software

 

 

 

what is the joystick hat showing in the virpil joytester software when you are doing this? is the button when held active all the time (led illuminated red)

Here is what the button screen looks like on my system (T-50/WH or Hornet). The trim/POV buttons stay active while pressed.

Here are some screens of my profile and button mapping. Everything seems to be correct however the 8way Hat/Trim Button's respond as a single click instead of hold.

I've attached a screenshot, Yes POV1 is configured in the VPC Config. In the tester the light will flash red then blue unless I hold it perfectly in the direction position almost like it's conflicting with Up Right, Up Left, Down Right, Down Left.

After a complete uninstall and reinstall of the Virpil Software (Latest Version), I matched my settings to yours. Looks like the only difference was the POV1 mode needed to be set to 4B4W however, I'm still experiencing the same behavior from the 8Way/Trim bindings. I have to keep pressing vs hold to trim? I've got a ticket in with Virpil to see if they have a solution as well.

POV works differently in virpil firmware .... the wee drop down for POV, set it to OFF -> save VPC device

 

 

now try it
