SPAD.neXt

Just got SPAD installed for X-Plane 11.50b9. So far the Three SAITEK panels Switch, MF, and Radio are recognized and appear to respond with no other OEM driver installed but I do use the XPUIPC plugin for many other tools I use in X-Plane.

My questions:
1. Will XPUIPC cause me any issues or help (required) for the SPAD to function correctly?
2. I see a lot of Profiles using Simconnect. I am also flying MSFS2020 but have not tried it since installing SPAD. I've read that currently, at least, MSFS2020 is working with Simconnect so if I install Simconnect will it be independent of my setups (Profiles) in SPAD for X-Plane and not interfere with X-Plane when not using MSFS2020?

Thank you all for your input and advice.

1) No Issues to be exepcted
2) No need to "install" simconnect. It's coming with MSFS2020

Sir,
I'm sorry I missed your msg about MSFS2020. I have been on the Alpha Team since the 2nd round. If you find you need another set of eyes to test SPAD.Next let me know. I have 1.4.2 running on both my 8700K 32GB GTX 1080 8GB Laptop and my 9900K 32GB RTX2080Ti 11GB Desktop PC's.

Thanks.

I'll post the rest in the public for
