The problem is known and will be addressed asap. (Low priority right now).
Expect it to behave as expected in 0.8 release.

hmm. first report of such a problem.
I always have SPAD.neXt already running before i start the sim.

There has been a lot of internal changes in upcoming release.
I would appreciate if you would test with current beta if the problem still persists. (Contact me via PM to get access to the beta)

SPAd.neXt will give you ll devices it supports. If a device if found more than once, you will get multiple instances of it accordingly. If you have 2 Radios you will have 2 Radio Panels in the UI acting independently from each other. All Videos are done by myself, and I do not have multiple panels. ...

The mode switch will be supported of course.

Errm ....
Are the Panels connected to the Computer where SPAD.neXt is running on?
Logfile says there are no devices connected to it

I would love to get or even pay for instructions to get all the AP buttons and the trim when working for my 182. thank you! thank you! Maybe ask in the general forum. There are quite some A2A-C182-Users out there. As soon the next update is ready for release i'll have a look if i can find time to c...

Just load the "default - FSUIPC base" or "default - SimConnect Base" Profile.
They have the Radio Panel configured. You can copy/paste configuration from there.

Would have been a bit easier if you followed the QuickStart Guide. Now You have a lot of copy and paste action
Maybe start over
