If you are having problems with your controller profiles not being loaded, create a duplicate profile for each device and profile and give each a unique name, then delete your old profile and restart the sim. If it keeps happening repeat the process or submit a help desk/bug report to Microsoft/Asobo about this issue
Thank you for this great initiative. I received my gladiator EVO a few weeks ago and it's a real pleasure coupled with the WWII combo. This video contains a lot of extra informations, thank you very much. 🙂
@@untoldforce .Very good news, I encourage you to continue these videos on the other modules. It's a good way of approaching your VKB Device software, which is not easily affordable but full of resources. If it takes a while, I'll probably have my second combo waiting for me...🤔
Excellent, thorough video! I just bought a Gladiator for Elite Dangerous but I gotta say the MSFS bindings menu is much nicer. It's made me want to download the game and try it out.
Waiting on getting my own, probably too late for this year but looking forwards to it so much... Experienced in flight sims but not 2024, and it'd be my first VKB product and this makes me so excited to get my hands on one! Amazing vid, very informative but not boring - brilliant!
Bought a whole vkb system a few weeks ago. (Gunfighter, Pedals and Stecs) The customization is absolutely amazing, but it takes a few days to fully understand whats possible.
My issue right now is I have the SEM and THQ all connected together to my Gladiator and my mixture axis refuses to stay saved. I have to set it for each flight even if it's the same plane. I'm even setting for default. Microsoft refuses to address it.
VKB devices create additional virtual controllers because the standard limitation is 8 axes/128 buttons. Once you exceed 8 axes, the VKB device will create a virtual controller with the same name as the original one. MSFS 2020 handled this with no problems, but MSFS 2024 does not. I have the same issue and can only hope that they will fix it soon. If you happen to be a MS/Asobo developer reading this comment I am happy to work with you to resolve this problem and others so we can all enjoy the sim! It seems that the only fix for this at the moment is to disconnect the cable between your Gladiator base from your module and install an additional GNX USB controller. It's unfortunate that it requires extra hardware (and another USB port) but that's the situation we're in until changes are made to MSFS 2024.
The same website that has the PDF for the Gladiator NXT/EVO has a PDF for the STECS. A video is being worked on but there are so many possible STECS combinations that it's difficult.
The THQ has 3 axes by itself so if you pair it with a Gladiator NXT premium it will have 9 axes. Windows can't detect more than 8 logical axes on a single device so the VKB software will put the 9th axis on a virtual controller, but there's a known issue with MSFS 2024 where virtual controller bindings need to be reselected after every flight. This is annoying but I hope that Asobo will fix it soon.
Is it possible to bind the primary axes to conventional movement controls in other games? Effectively using a stick as WASD and/or a mouse for some less-than-simulator games
Don't know if it's just me but I don't get a preview like I did adjusting the joystick sensitivity like I did in 2020 for some reason, was expecting the center point to move when I move the axis but it just stays still
Hi, would you have any solution for MSFS 2024 seeing my Gladiator EVO Joystick and my THQ module as having the same name? This causes a conflict in 2024 (was not a problem in 2020). End result is that the THQ unit always loses it's profile assignment when moving to another aircraft. By the way, the THQ is really only used for mixture, as the throttle and propeller axis are bound to the joystick. I suppose I could just use the EN1 encoder for mixture like you do, and not use the red mixture control on the THQ..... Is there a way to change the name/identifier of a VKB unit in VKBDevConfig.exe? Thanks, Bill
If you watch the second video in the series you can see that I exit the binding screen a few times to make sure that the configs are saved. You can also create a duplicate profile as a "backup" in case your main one gets messed up.
I assume the configs are saved to a file somewhere so they're not lost if the game crashes. Crashing in the bindings screen hints at some serious issues with the game.
I just ordered my premium version. Wondering what game to get first. MS FS2024 or DCS? I'm leaning towards MSFS2024 cause I can jump right in a little easier. I'll probably just play the DSC free version to learn it. What's your thoughts????

Excellent video, perfect for a sim noob like me who just received his NXT as a Xmas gift 😊
Enjoy!

I'm working on additional videos for extra modules! It'll take some time but I hope they will be valuable to you

Got the gladiator base with the F-14 grip today, its going to be well used in DCS flying the tomcat. You guys are the best thank you 😊

The VKB Gladiator NXT with SCG was my first VKB product and, as you can see the the video, I've grown rather fond of them!
LOL this vid dropped just in time. I received my nxt evo few days ago and was trying out configuration on msfs2024 yesterday
🎉❤ just on spot! Already start liking this brand😅
That full setup @0:56 looks sick af!
I wonder if they're hiring..
Thank you very much for this video, which finally allows me to enjoy this great joystick
Very Nicely Done Untold!
my z rot does not work i did everything in the starter guide and nothing happens in the dev config
+vkbsim *Thanks for the brief.* The Gladiatorᵀᴹ NXTᵀᴹ Series is versatile, and all controls are accessible.
Bought a whole vkb system a few weeks ago. (Gunfighter, Pedals and Stecs) The customization is absolutely amazing, but it takes a few days to fully understand whats possible.
I'm looking forward to the Gunfighter/Stecs videos. This will help. Thanks for this video! It helps.
Can’t wait for the stecs video was trying to bind the collective axis for a helicopter and was getting weird interactions

A video suggesting which MSFS functions to bind to all those STECS inputs would be awesome.
The same website that has the PDF for the Gladiator NXT/EVO has a PDF for the STECS. A video is being worked on but there are so many possible STECS combinations that it's difficult.
Would be nice to see similar template for a dual joystick config (for those that got the omni throttle/tilted stick as well as suggested by folks)
Thanks Fantastic video just got the Gladiator NXT premium with the THQ connected to start with then maybe get the SEM next?
The THQ has 3 axes by itself so if you pair it with a Gladiator NXT premium it will have 9 axes. Windows can't detect more than 8 logical axes on a single device so the VKB software will put the 9th axis on a virtual controller, but there's a known issue with MSFS 2024 where virtual controller bindings need to be reselected after every flight.

We need one for helicopters too!
brah, I was two sec away from dusting off my x56 for this stupid game. Thx u!!

2024 doesn't show input previews (yet)
That's unfortunately a bug in the current release of MSFS 2024. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
I know wrong place for tech help, but what if I don’t see my vkb stick or stecs in msgs 2024? Shows up in msfs 2020, dcs, il2, etc. frustrating.
Come on our Discord server, there will be more eyes on the issue and hopefully some good advice discord.gg/UJAdpdHpYm

Can you jump into the Discord and ask there? It's easier to do tech support in that space
Is MFS a standalone copy on your PC or are you using Steam? I have had a lot of trouble getting Steam to recognize my NXT EVO.
I'm using MSFS 2024 purchased through Steam for this video.
You can walk around now in FS2024. It would be great if you could do a help video on using the VKB Gladiator Premium Ministick to walk around.
That's a great thing to bind to a Gladiator Omni-throttle!
I gave up playing SIMs, so painful to keybind everything all the time. And if the game crashes, i lose all my configs...
If you watch the second video in the series you can see that I exit the binding screen a few times to make sure that the configs are saved. You can also create a duplicate profile as a "backup" in case your main one gets messed up.
@@untoldforce I dont get why they make it so complicated

well, I have a headache now

I'm a little biased because I enjoy flying general aviation aircraft :)
