I have a problem with my UI... somehow my button settings dialog is in a position that I can't click the title bar to move it or close it... So it just stays there until I close the application. How could I reset its position?
basically just the title.. it uses a usb-c to c which they claim is non standard but how much truth is there to that, or can i just buy a longer cable from them?
Just purchased the GNX THQ module plus the installed HID upgrade that you need to use as a standalone unit plugged directly into your computer.
I downloaded the required configuration software from VKB and went through a list of steps I could find.
During calibration, I cannot get any of the axises or buttons to show up at all. They don’t register or do anything. I’ve tried everything but no luck.
Am I missing something here?
I just bought a VKB gladiator as my first Hotas and I was just wondering how long shipping usually takes. It’s kind of important at I’m shipping it to CT where I am rn for an internship but will only be here till the end of July when I will move back home. Thanks!
I bought the VKB Gladiator EVOs for Star Citizen a while back but had problems setting up the controls from the start and since I didn´t want to tackle that at the time I let them just rest on my desk.
Now I found the motivation but its quickly turning in to furious frustration...
The Game Client doesn´t recognice the direct input (buttom presses) when I want to manually set controlls and when I try to preload profiles that the game offers it mixes up the sticks as in right stick should be pitch, roll, yaw etc. but is thrust and strafe for example.
I tried following the guides online and reset and recalibrated both sticks which didn´t help. I also tried to switch both sticks using the star citizen console but it doesn´t seem to recognize the right stick at all.
I even tried third party software to bind makros etc. but it all just doen´t want to work right
Other games (War Thunder and Nuclear Option) have no issues at all which makes it even harder for me to understand.
Idk if what I´m doing wrong but I don´t think it should be this hard to get the forsaken things to work.
Maybe some of you guys know something that will help... :/
I am running Ubuntu Linux 26.04 (with KDE) and Elite Dangerous installed via Steam. (So, Proton Experimental)
I have two VKB sticks for a HOSAS setup - a VKB omnithrottle and a VKB NXT Evo + SEM module. It's the latter that is giving me fits.
The X-Axis on the VKB NXT Evo + SEM seems to be permanently stuck 3/4 of the way to the right.
- I have successfully gotten both sticks to properly be detected within Linux as joysticks. (Using protontricks to disable the gamepad detection)
- I do not have the mouse mapped to the "flight rotation" axis I am trying to configure the stick to. (And I have tried multiple bindings to other controls)
- They are both updated using the latest firmware from VKB's website (as of about a week ago?)
- Both sticks were re-calibrated on a Windows machine (since there is no Linux VKBDevCfg on Windows - that calibration was saved to both sticks, and has been verified to be good even a couple days after the fact.
- Running jstest-gtk right after plugging the device in shows a good calibration - until you move the X axis. Then, it is slammed to the right and can only be corrected by a large motion to the left.
- You *can* recalibrate using jstest-gtk or jscal, however this does not change the behavior.
- Running jscal-store /dev/input/js0 after a calibration does not seem to make any changes.
- I can take the same joystick that is showing this behavior, connect it to a Windows machine, run VKBDevCfg, and the calibration is fine. I cannot get the issue to re-occur.
I am running out of ideas here, and I *really* do not want to dual boot my desktop just yet. (Not opposed to the idea, but I would rather figure this out) I have to assume that proton is not updating its calibration, which appears to be bugged in the first place. I'm 99% certain this is not something specific to the sticks, but rather how Linux is reading them.
Any help in pinpointing something I might have overlooked?
