Mango Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I've been locked out of my VKB account so hoping someone here can help. Has the issue with X axis spiking on the Gunfighter Mk II base ever been permanently resolved? It's very frustrating to have to go through this procedure every 4-6 weeks. http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3235 Any new info would be greatly appreciated!

fallout9 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Axis spiking is usually coming from a bad connection inside the base - just unplug the white connectors and plug them back firmly. While in there, check if there are no broken wires and if the wires are not getting caught by moving parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I'm referring to; it's how I temporarily resolve it. Why should the connector keep coming loose every month or so? Is there a replacement subcomponent I could buy from VKB to correct this? I don't see that anything is pulling on the wires. Thanks.

fallout9 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Check if the wires are plugged firmly into the white connectors. If they move too much inside the connector they might lose contact temporarily, resulting in those spikes. A fix for this would be the latest electronics kit, which replaces all the electronic boards inside the base and the wires (except of those 3 coming from the base connector); it's out on stock as I can see, but it should get resupplied soon.

Mango Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) OK, that's the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks! I see this is actually an upgrade kit from the Mk2 to the Mk3. What are the benefits of the upgrade? I'm curious but couldn't find anything on the website. Edited June 23, 2021 by Mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallout9 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 There's also a GFI to GFIII upgrade too. But this is only the electronics upgrade; there's also the top cover and boot upgrade, also the GFIII 4 sets of cams. The advantages of the electronics kit are higher speed transfer, silicone wires, improved connectors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
