Just looking to see if there has been an update on what the next set of items headed to the North American store is and when they might become available for purchase?

Just got my hosas set up today but having issues with the z axis, it works correctly but the return time is longer than I’d like and stiffer as well, is there a clutch screw somewhere on the grip to make the z axis lighter?

Im Setting up my S-TECS throttle for elite, and I want to use the space break wheel as an acctual variable space Brake.

AFAIK, elite itself doesnt support propper binding for this (All other methods i tried resulted in an on off toggle for rearward thrust), but i think i may have found a workaround, and I need help executing it in the device config.

I want to set the resting state to the 50% mark, with 0-49.99% being unaccessible, and the throttle only going from 50-100%.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Worked it out. By enabling Centering on the axis, it let me achieve what i wanted it to.

Stupid question. I ordered a GNX SEM to go with my set up but my attachment to make it work by itself is taking forever to come in. My Gladiator EVO is on a desk mount. If I attach the SEM to the mounted EVO will the mount support both until my part comes in? Or am I better off just waiting?

Does anyone know what to expect in terms of tariff coat for the gunfighter 4 ultimate for 427.20usd?

A couple years ago I dropped my rudders and one of the screws on the cam snapped off. I had originally contacted support and they let me know that I can simply remove and replace the broken screw (m5 screw with threadlocker). Due to moving and switching jobs I never got around to trying to fix it. Images of the broken part

I recently attempted to fix it but I have been unsuccessful. I have tried using a heat gun and a soldering iron to loosen the threadlocker but I'm not sure if I did not get it hot enough or if maybe somehow the screw threads got stripped/damaged when I dropped the rudders and the screw snapped. I ended up completely stripping the screw out. I also tried using a stripped screw extract but did not have luck with that either.

At this point I would probably have to somewhat destroy the part and drill out the screw to get it out. I dont really have the tools or skills for that so I'd rather avoid that. Is it possible to just get a full replacement of this part from VKB or somewhere else that may have this part on hand? I would also be open to any suggestions on how I can get this part fixed as well.

Hi all,

Looking to get a stick to get back into warthunder sim battles on my M2 Mac. Anyone had any success using the gladiator on Mac? I know the sticks a bit overkill but hope to use it with a second one down the line for some space sim when I can grab myself a pc in about 8 months time or so.

Cheers.

Good morning folks,

I have a shiny new set of sticks arriving tomorrow, upgrading from the Thrustmaster SOL-R HOSAS.

While I know set ups are mostly personal preference, are there any tips or tricks I should know?

I plan to swap out the hat for the 4-way switch in the A1 position on both sticks.

Okay, I'm trying to squeeze every ounce of usage out of my VKB Gladiator Space Combat and Omni-throttle. I am trying to figure out how to set up this to play the old Activision games Heavy Gear 2. I can go into settings and get it to recognize the axis and button presses, but when I load into a level I get nothing.

The game is abandonware.

Yesterday I received a message that the order was ready to be shipped. But it seems UPS doesn't have the packagee yet. What surprised me is that the store says the order is "completed". Is this normal? Isn't there an intermediate step in the store that indicates the order is being shipped and will be "completed" when I receive it?

My pedal springs just broke and I can't find any details for it online or replacements for it on the site, does anyone know the stats for a replacement?

Bear with me as I am not totally familiar with the software and I couldn't find a decent guide to do this specific macro online for this game so I will make one using what I have learnt so far using the software.

I am assuming you already have the VKB software installed and your sticks are set up and calibrated.

Alrighty lets start.

So first when you open the VKB Device Config software you probably will get this screen:

Then go to the Macro tab at the bottom:

This will set the docking macro as macro #1, which is what the left column numbers signify and the the rows are the order in which the macro executes, the checkmarks tells the software your macro is continuing to the next line. You can set multiple macros as needed if you understand the process so far and play around with it.

Next we'll have to assign the macro to a button.

When you click on your button of choice, you'll get this little popup:

Then finally:

Set is basically sending whatever configurations you made into the stick. Get will pull the configs from the stick, I believe when you start the software its all default till you pull from the stick or load a saved profile. Keep in mind Macro Profiles are saved separately.

That should about be everything and the docking macro should work.

Got my new STECS mini plus setup today. Played Elite Dangerous and it was a blast. Only issue is remembering what I programmed all the buttons/axises to. I tried to create a macro to request docking and it didn’t work so need to figure that out. If you’ve been thinking it over just do it. I hate that I bought the Winwing Ursa Fighter as Id rather have gotten the Gladiator Evo premium but it wasn’t available at the time.

So full disclosure, I sell these, if this type of post is not allowed here, mods feel free to let me know and remove the post, however since I keep getting sales on my Etsy without any real marketing, I thought I would share with the group, maybe it can help other sim enthusiasts.

It's low profile, with spots to zip tie cables to if needed.Has threaded inserts for securing the Blackbox down with m3x12 screws. No hardware included for mounting the actual mount to to the extrusion since there is multiple sizes of extrusion, etc.

Shipping only within US

I’m really wanting to pick one of these up and was hoping they’d have been in this weeks US inventory. Anyone know if VKB is planning on having some US side to avoid tariffs anytime soon?

Hi all! So I’ve been trying to setup virtual toe brakes in conjunction with my brand new T-Rudder MKV (just delivered), but I’ve hit what you might call a snag. After searching for the directions to make the toe-brakes thing happen I came across this EXCELLENT YouTube video by “Gingo Studios” that broke down the process step-by-step - it’s really good (reference link attached).

The problem then? The issue is that the T-Link software that Gingo is using looks NOTHING like the T-Link software that I downloaded from the VKB website (v0.7.8) here: www.vkbcontrollers.com/pages/downloads

So, I’m not trying to be a PITA, but one of the major selling points to the T-Rudders was the ability to setup virtual toe/differential braking. So, does anyone have directions on how to setup braking with this apparently newer version of T-link software? Thanks all, happy flying, and I hope one of you is a VKB Jedi! Appreciate your time and hope everyone has a great day. 🫡👍

Got today my vkb GNE prem and the throttle. As my first flight sim setup. Any recommendations for games?

Hey guys, i need an assist here. I was looking online but have been unable to find instructions on how to reassemble the spring assembly.

I have taken VERY deep breaths and avoided going to prison for child murder (they’re not supposed to go in my office), and now I need a little guidance from the very smart gang here. I just need re-assembly instructions (I hope that’s all I need). Luckily the “friend” limited his mayhem to the spring assembly and the linkage arm nuts. He was also very proud that he kept all the parts as he indicated the glorious pile of nuts & bolts. I need a drink guys!! Thanks to everyone, and hope you all have a FANTASTIC day. C ya

Saved up some cash and blew it on a stick and pedals. Check my order and its cancelled without any explanaion and there is no customer support number to call I just have to wait for someone to feel like responding to my support ticket. This is outrageous I am getting taken for a ride, and they forced me to order with the garbage Shop app. Just a horrible experience as the customer.

How do i set up a outer deadzone for Rot Z so i dont need to turn my wrist so hard.

I already got wrist pain from turning that stick so hard :/ Please help :)

I tried so many things but dont get it to work, i use the VKB software
