    I am curious why VKB chose not to have the exact same style of removable modules like on the MCG Ultimate. Its easier with no cables.
    Regardless still very exciting to have these options. Extends the life of your hardware and I love it. VKB proving why they're the best.

    Excellent. Please also add two or three way buttons as they are more tactile and easier for the muscle memory than just having several 5 way hats. They could be used as a boat switch, china hat, speedbrake and such. A latching option would be a plus but not necessary.

    • @bodifx

      I think the whole point of a 2/3 way would be to it not return to center by itself, otherwise it is just a 5way without one side and the center.

      @@bodifx On many cases yes, but the TM Warthog china hat and the 3-way rocker on the Virpil Mongoost CM2 are much easier to use for a specific function than a 5 way hat that has two or three "unrelated" actions that you might press accidentally.

    I have to give credit, where credit is due. This is a killer feature. I don't even know what I'll do with all those buttons now. 🙂 And it supports so many 5-way hats! (I left the one 3-way for brakes, not to get overwhelmed myself.) BTW: the hat on the 3-way is fixed? I fear to pry it off. I wish in the future we will have additional options like 3-way with one non-momentary position (some air-brakes), or both positions fixed (some weapon selectors). But the way we can swap these is just incredible. This is innovation.

      Whatever is not possible through hardware is definitely possible by software, so you could program any controls the way you like it. If not sure how ask our community on discord discord.gg/UJAdpdHpYm

    Can you install a second version of the lower module from the STECS standard, above with the brackets? Or does it have to be different?

    • @VKBSim

      The STECS could only run a single STEM, but you can add a NXT module - either the THQ, SEM or FSM-GA.

    Hey! I love my STECS! :-) One question though, If I want to replace a module (e.g. a one way button to a 5 way switch) and then run the auto configuration - it will rearrange all virtual buttons so I have to remap my DCS config all over again. Is there a way to prevent that and only use unused virtual buttons instead of replacing existing ones? :-)

    • @VKBSim
      @VKBSim  7 месяцев назад +2

      If you relocated the buttons between the physical and logical layers you'll have to rebuild your configuration after resetting to default. Otherwise there shouldn't be any issue with DCS other than binding the extra controls.
      Save your current profile in any case, so you'll have a backup if it goes wrong.
