How do I install an TM F-18 grip on a Giunfighter III base

[chaos]

I feel like a complete idiot but I can't figure this out....

 

I own a VKB Gunfighter III stick and wanted to marry it to a TM F-18 grip. I've installed the adapter, double-checked all the connections but for the life of me... I can't make it work. Obviously the axis are fine (as they're "external") but all of the the buttons/Castle Switch/Trigger do not register any presses when I check it in VKB Device Config.

 

How does one make it work? I was a bit surprised that VKB doesn't provide any step-by-step instructions. I assumed it was plug and play but clearly there's something I'm not doing correctly.

 

That leaves the possibility that the grip itself is faulty and I don't have any way to test this as I don't own a TM base. This, however, seems unlikely. Is anybody willing to type up a step-by-step on how to get it working?

 

Thanks.

You are going to need to flash with the appropriate VKB firmware to get the stick buttons to work properly.

I would check over at the VKB site and forums to make sure you get the proper firmware for this.

Like I said... I AM an idiot. Yes, I did flash it a few times but with the wrong firmware... do'h!

 

Thanks dburne.. I was about to send it back.
