Gladiator NXT Premium Stick Control Bindings

[dmwierz]

Just acquired a new VKB Gladiator NXT Premium stick, and am using it with a modified TWCS throttle. I'm attempting to follow the configuration attached below for the F/A-18C, to use as a starting point, but DCS doesn't allow me to map anything to the mini-joystick at the upper left of the stick. 

This has to be something simple that's just eluding me.

Help?

Plus, on the off chance somebody may already have to file for this schema, can you share it, and same me a bunch of time? Thanks.

Nobody?

Maybe an axis?

I have the Gladiator K limited edition, which is basically the same stick with a different base and I can map that 8-way hat as my trim button no problem. It's what I use it for on all my planes. Have you tried running the VKB test software and checked that all your buttons are registering as inputs? Also make sure that the stick is properly tightened to the base. Sometimes the screw securing mine to the base has worked loose and I've lost all input. I doubt that's your problem though if all the other buttons are working. Sorry I can't be more help than that.

I've thought of that, but if so, then what? The individual who published this configuration (whom I have been unsuccessful in reaching) looks to have solved this issue somehow.

This isn't an 8-way hat, it's a joystick. Maybe that's the issue, as @Laidback mentioned above, it might be seen as an axis within DCS. I believe I can downgrade to a hat switch, and maybe this is what I need to explore? 

Thanks.

I use that button as my sensor select switch.

Ok. watched the video. Barely understand 1/4 of it. It would seem this isn't going to be as simple as I had hoped. Thanks, though.

Just follow what it says at the point I share (Button V) It’s dead simple!

Hey man, Save your Profile first then use this one i uploaded(load it), it converts the Analog Ministick to a 4 Directional Hat Switch with Center Push(depress). If that's what you mean.
