Bless you, and the couple of people that asked you to make a video about VKB software. I've been changing settings for two days trying to get the toggle setting to work for a button. I've watched videos and read reddit pages. Nobody's solution made a difference. At 5:53 in your video, you talked about two button that we would be using the most, which was odd, since no one else mentioned them. Amazing how saving your work when finished would make such a difference. I'm too use to sliding the mouse speed slider over and closing the window, that I figured it did the same. I appreciate the time you spent making the videos. I subscribed and watched the rest. Take care.
I mean, button mapping really isn't that complicated, what makes this software look so complicated is that there are options to allow you to do just about anything you can imagine. Also remember though that the average computer user isn't all that smart about customizing detailed options in general, so that's not too shocking.
Thanks for the video. Although it is a bit sad that I can't (easily) find all this information on their site. Some kind of quick start would have been nice of them. Love the joystick though :)
thanks! i do know that they have a few quick start videos on their youtube channel, but i'm not sure how much they cover regarding the configuration app.
Hey I'm having an issue where the software window is too large and I'm unable to see that bottom row of options even if I scroll all the way down. Any idea how to change the window size of the the config program?
@@dcstutorial Weird they don't do anything in the program when I tried to calibrate them. They don't show any motion, but they worked yesterday when I was messing around in DCS.
@@nomar5spaulding There's a red light at the top. If it's not off, it's set to 8 way hat. Press the stick in, the red light comes on and it is set to axis
26min: I changed A2B in Axes tab to: 1. Zones 0 1% (hystersis) Vbutt: 8. But I can't figure out the next part. I'm trying to get elite dangerous to boost whenever I'm at the edge of my stick movement.
The manual is as horrendous as the cfg plaform. I dont understand any of it. I have the ww2 KG12 and i dont know what to do with the HAT at all. It cant be used as POV and its really impossible to control the movement with it. Anyone got any suggestions?
One thing that would help with you video is if you can stop moving your mouse around, I know we all do it but when you are following someone instructions you are looking where they are pointing with their mouse and when it is going all over the place it is hard to understand just what part you are talking about, just my two cents worth.
How do I program the omni throttle twist axis to trigger a keyboard button press when I twist forward and another button when I slowing bring it back to the center? Since the twist comes back to center(default resting place), I want center to be no keyboard button press. Also, no key presses if i twist it back past the default center point.
im not sure if what ur asking is possible in the software. the closest i can get is by going to the profile tab on the bottom, then the axes tab, then go to the axes2buttons section and set the type to "zone" and number to 2. then set the virtual button that you want. this will actiavte virtual buttons, though, i dont think theres a way to activate keyboard buttons. however, im not 100% sure, you may want to look if there are other ways to do it in the manual
I own a Gladiator NXT, flashing the NXT software tells me my device signature is incorrect. Upon flashing the EVO firmware it goes straight through? Have VKB put an incorrect signature on my device?
good grief.. lol... was here to see how to use the button wizard... game is not recognizing the massive number of buttons with all this connected, so need to remap the buttons to keystrokes... where do I see how to do this??

thank you so much! it makes me happy to know that my videos are helping people out!
This is what happens when you let coders design UI
Yep; this ui is 70ies Russian Engineering type of stuff...
Oh yes, I'm one of those, but even my UI's are better :D
@ LOL
What we sim players go through...
Most people wouldn't even go through all this for a game, but it's worth it.

Thank you for your time and effort to make this video ! 👍
This is great, I'd have been lost without it. Thanks so much for putting this together... I'd like to see your Elite Dangerous setup 🙂
thanks for the kind words. i dont play elite dangerous, but it looks fun
Thanks for making this, super helpful.
thanks for watching!

Do they have classes in Universities for this? And these are just the basics?
😂

Thanks, you did your best I'm sure. Was hoping to find out how to reprogram one of the hat buttons into a 4 way strafe button.
Do you know what the Rot X and Rot Y axes are? I know Rot Z is the "twist rudder" function
the mini stick

maybe try changing the type to "Edges1"?
How would I set the saturation for the axes movement? I would like to set it at 70% so I don't have to move all the way to the edge.
I'm tryna mess with the led lights, but that test tab no longer comes up, so I dont know how to.
I found it under global tab (bottom) then left side tab under "external devices" you have "LEDs" on VKB device config v0.92.51
hmm. maybe unistall and reinstall to latest version? im not sure why the test tab wouldn't appear.
The manual is as horrendous as the cfg plaform.

Thank you very much , THANK YOU
An SSD fried, had to reset Windows and started to pull my hair out when my SCG Gunfighter II only blinks. Thanks for your work.
I’m trying to use the x & y axis of the joystick to control the mouse instead of the mini joystick, is this possible???
thank god for this video
You said, you got this from the manual. Where did you find the manual? I can't find it on the website.
hmm it looks like they took it off their website for some reason. here: forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5559
Can you pass that manual along because I do not see it on their site any more.
