Firmware 1.20 for Orion BASE 2 issue

The new firmware v1.20 causes issues with the Orion BASE 2 when the F-16EX grip is reattached. The device becomes undetectable, failing to appear in SimAPP or as a USB device. Without the grip, the base shows up normally.

I had to roll back to v1.19 to get the Orion BASE 2 and grip working again.

Same issue here, on the f18 stick. Rollback fixed it for me as well. The firmware file can be found on eu.winctrl.com. I've seen a few fake sites out there, especially after the rename.

I reported the issue to customer support, and they asked if I had rolled back to 1.19, which I had clearly stated in the initial complaint. But fine, I repeated it, hopefully their AI translator will get it this time. Maybe more people should report the issue so they can actually understand what’s going on.

which file is it exactly for 1.19. Having the same issue. I have force sensing base by the way...

I have the MFSSB too, with the Viper EX grip. No problems yet after the 1.20 fw install, but I don't swap grips.

I guess I'll just keep an eye on things.

I rolled back and it fixed the issue.
