I just bought WOTR and am eager to play, but every time I run WOTRKey (2.1, from 1.24 patch) I see a pop up that says "New controllers found and initialised: VKBsim gladiator NXT R". I know this is related to the space being added to the name since I get two entries in WOTRKeys.xca:

Code
   <Device Type="VKBsim Gladiator NXT R">
        <GameMode Name="Player">
            <Axis ID="X" Action="Set_Bank" Scale="64" Nullzone="36" FriendlyDesc="Bank Control (Ailerons)" Category="AircraftControl" P4Use="y"/>
            <Axis ID="Y" Action="Set_Pitch" Scale="64" Nullzone="36" FriendlyDesc="Pitch Control (Elevator)" Category="AirCraftControl" P4Use="y"/>
            <Axis ID="Throttle" Action="AXIS_THROTTLE_SET" Scale="127" Nullzone="1" FriendlyDesc="Throttle" Category="AircraftControl" P4Use="y"/>
            <Axis ID="Rudder" Action="Set_Yaw" Scale="64" Nullzone="36" FriendlyDesc="Yaw Control (Rudder)" Category="AircraftControl" P4Use="y"/>


and then a second entry with

Code
    <Device Type="VKBsim Gladiator NXT R ">
        <GameMode Name="Player">
            <Axis ID="X" Action="Set_Bank" Scale="64" Nullzone="36" FriendlyDesc="Bank Control (Ailerons)" Category="AircraftControl" P4Use="y"/>
            <Axis ID="Y" Action="Set_Pitch" Scale="64" Nullzone="36" FriendlyDesc="Pitch Control (Elevator)" Category="AirCraftControl" P4Use="y"/>
            <Axis ID="Throttle" Action="AXIS_THROTTLE_SET" Scale="127" Nullzone="1" FriendlyDesc="Throttle" Category="AircraftControl" P4Use="y"/>
            <Axis ID="Rudder" Action="Set_Yaw" Scale="64" Nullzone="36" FriendlyDesc="Yaw Control (Rudder)" Category="AircraftControl" P4Use="y"/>


Any ideas how I can get around this please

Thanks

Configure, save, and then check the WOTRKeys.xca and see which has all your updated button assignments. If it's the one with a space, remove the space with notepad etc, and then delete the other entry <Device Type="VKBsim Gladiator NXT R">
and save the file again. Should work in the sim- try it please.

One other thing I thought - the one with the space is probably an old one from a previous version. Ignore it or delete it. The one without the space should be the new entry anyway. You can use "reset all to default" to nuke all entries and start all a fresh too if you really want to.

Along the same train of issues. I have been playing with a Thrustmaster T16000 HOTAS and decided to upgrade to an Vkb Gladiator flightstick. After having to calibtrate it on windows, I then went into the game and wanted to set up the controls. It gave me a number of presets. When I tried activating the brake with a switch it let me change it but will not save the change. I did make all the changes and did bind each one and it said it saved them. When I went into the game, the buttons don’t work. So I went back to where I changed then and it was still at the original configuration. Is there something I am missing?

Oh the thrust master worked ok and changes were saved.

What is the button number ? any button over #32 has to be programmed within the VKB software.

How to set up your VKB as a 32 button device.
* Make sure your device is highlighted in blue, in the game controller window.
* Make sure you are on the Action/Global/Common tab

1- set button number to 32 (128 is default)
2- save 32 button profile as WOTR (for example) a window will open up.
3- While WOTR file is highlighted, click set. This will set the profile on your device.

The profile will stay on your device even after unplugging USB. Setting the device to default for calibration purposes will return the device to a 128 button device.

If you set your device to default in the future, and you want your WOTR 32 button profile. Click on Load (window will pop up, select your WOTR profile) then click set. Go to test screen to be sure.

Now to test if the profile took.
Click on your device in the game controller window at the top. Make sure it is highlighted blue.
Make sure you are on the Action/Test/Buttons POV tab
If the profile took, you will see 32 buttons as above. (as opposed to default 128)

I made the change to 32, thanks Wango! Went back into the game but am still getting the error message. I am wondering if I didn’t screw something up in the game software by trying multiple times to get the changes to save when the settings on the stick were wrong.

Error message resolved. Resolution included a new WOTRKeys file that was developed by OBD Support for VKB NXT controllers and Reset the Controller within the Game. OH and reseting the key count from 128 to 32. Also a critical step.

Thanks for your Help Wango Tango!

For anyone reading the thread in future: please Update to the latest version of WOTR to use the latest WOTRKeys (access via Workshop, Re Map Keys Controllers)
Click downloads in the top menu on website and choose WOTR or WOTR Expansion depending on what you have installed.
