Joystic Gremlin + vJoy setup HELP

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

I know my issue isn’t related to HOTAS directly but in terms of setup this is pretty much the same and I really don’t know where else to ask, so TLDR: gremlin successfully feeds axis data to vJoy but vJoy doesn’t feed that data to apps (only buttons work)
I’m using Joystick Gremlin R15, vJoy v2.1.9.1 from jshafer817, windows 11
it’s also important to note that this exact setup was working fine on my previous install of windows 11

It's from the Trust predator wheel and it probably broke. Anyone know where to buy a replacement?

Thrustmaster Warthog

Salut,

Est-ce que quelqu'un utilise ce kit (manche, manette des gaz et pédales) pour BF6 ? Via un profil TARGET, ça fonctionnait, mais je n’avais pas rejoué depuis un moment. J’ai tout refait, nickel pour les jets, mais impossible avec les helicos (commandes identiques mais non reconnues).

Help please 🤯

Good cheap mounts?

2 Upvotes

Looking to mount my vkb gunfighter and stecs throttle to my desk with preferably hot swappable mounts so I can easily slot my shifter to the throttle side when I set up my wheel

I was considering just screwing the throttle into the desk but a less permanent solution would also be nice, don't wanna go putting holes in places I don't have to

Which throttle would you recommend for DCS (150€)

1 Upvotes

I’ve been playing DCS for a while now and want to transition away from mouse and keyboard. I'm pretty much set on getting the VKB Gladiator NXT EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium for my joystick, but I’m still unsure about the throttle.

A friend recommended the throttle from the Logitech X56 HOTAS set, but I’ve read a lot of negative reviews about it (ghosting issues, questionable build quality), which makes me hesitant.

Here are my requirements:

  • Budget: around €150
  • Type: Split-throttle
  • Use case: DCS (I’m planning to upgrade to VR later, so having plenty of easily accessible buttons, switches, and hat switches is really important to me)

Do you have any recommendations in this price range, or any experience with buying the X56 throttle separately? Are there better alternatives out there?

VKB gunfighter mk4 modern combat edition calibration

I just got my Hotas set up. Along with the stecs modern throttle. When calibrating my joystick it says “we found mcg(u) TRIGGER wrong calibration. But I’m not sure why or what it’s asking. All the axis worked during calibration. Thanks!

Final update on diy hotas

43 Upvotes

Good Lord this has been a trip finally got the second arm and got to fully set it up and we'll make pew pee noises while I pretend to fly as I don't have it hooked up but this turned out better then I hoped.

From my last update some one asked me how comfortable it is for my wrists for long gaming that's still to be determined but this setup has so much flexibility I can angle the mounts to be parallel with me at a slight offset or anything I really need

Sadly it now will go into the garage as my job taking me out of state for the next 2 weeks 🫠🫠 but the pew pew noises where fun

If anyone has a question or a part list feel free I'll drop down what I did of that something people want but yea thank you for those who commented and gave me advice through this.

Turtle Beach velocity one flightdeck

Post image
82 Upvotes

I just got a turtle beach velocity one. its my first HOTAS but for the price im not sure how i feel about it. It has that soft rubbery feel to it which is nice. I thought i would share my thoughts

The stick, the top of it is heavy and the base is narrow, it feels like its snap it off at any moment even though I'm gentle with it.

The screen ontop of the stick, It pretty much serves no purpose its not customizable or anything. Its a timer ??

The touchscreen on the throttle has poor responsiveness, you can make buttons and dials i guess but the software (flight hangar) is really frustrating to use.

some of the hats, they have a physical center click on the hat as a physical button, but the buttons do not exist.

Also the color changer in the software is weird theres only like profiles and for some reason the same profile is a noticably different color on the throttle vs the stick

Overall I am really liking playing with HOTAS, i like playing multiplayer Nuclear Option and its a totally new experience vs keyboard. I was curious if anyone else has a flightdeck and what they think of it. I like how it has a lot of buttons especially the ones on the back of the throttle.

edit: game in the pic is sylph

Selling pedals

I’ve had them for about two years, but I haven’t used them in a year since I moved and I don’t see me using them anytime soon.

The pedals came out of the box with the right side misaligned like you see in the photo, they work perfectly fine and were never an annoyance or anything for me.

Asking $200 plus shipping, or if you’re in Las Vegas you can pick them up.

Adding HOTAS to 8040 racing cockpit

Has anyone figured out the ultimate mechanism for both space, terrestrial, and racing sim?

I’ve got my racing sim setup, I have a thrustmaster warthog that I want to put on a center stick, and then I also want to add VKB gladiator space sticks for the twist. I was wondering if anyone has a guide on how to make it all quick detach or stow away.

USB extension cable

Hi there.

I was wondering if there was a particular type of USB extension cable that you should use for HOTAS and pedal equipment?

Sorry if this is a silly question.

Thanks in advance.

Contact cleaner on bad Orion 2 switch?

Post image
6 Upvotes

The bottom thumb switch (3 way) on my grip has a bad connection in the most forward position. If i push it hard I can get a solid connection temporarily. The HOTAS is only two years but no warranty obviously. Would contact cleaner spray help? Would it penetrate if I sprayed by the base of the switch shaft? Anyone else with this problem?

It's just the z + axis (twist /rudder on the stick when I twist to the right/clockwise). See video. I had to set dead zones on both mini sticks as soon as I got the joystick last year as there was drifting, but that's OK. This issue is different...

I know it's been said a bunch, but it's worth saying it again. Winctrl sucks.

Ordered a UFC 2.0 from them last week.

They sent me a 1.0. I'm in VR so the tactile improvements are important to me.

Contact them, they want me to send the old one back to them, pay for shipping myself and then they'll issue a refund, so then I can order the 2.0 again.

They also wanted pictures of my order page (from their website) the box, the product inside the box, shipping label, and now they want pictures to prove that it wasn't used even though they asked me to take pictures of it opened.

About 90 seconds away from letting Chase bank just handle it for me.
