A Bug in the Config Wizard has been confirmed. An update will be pushed asap.

As a workaround you can skip that test, and should be fine.
If you are fine can be identified by the bottom statusline in SPAD.neXt
it should say "Simulation: Kittyhawk" (That's the MS Codename for MS Filightsimulator)

DO NOT USE THE NETWORKOPTION UNLESS RUNING ON DIFFRENT COMPUTERS!
It will noticably slow down eventhandling

I get Connection Timeout when I run the wizard. I cannot connect to MSFS2020, installed the SimConnect.xml file as per advice, however no luck on connection.

I am not very technical so apologies first. I cannot seem to connect my multi and switch panels to FS 2020 even though i have run the wizard and it seems to have succeeded (it reads simulation:'kittyhawk". I also have enabled one default profile for each panel. when i go to the sim controls page i can only see keyboard, mouse and my T.master hotas 4 yoke. does anyone have very clear and simple instructions on how to make my panel work? Thanks.

You will NOT see them in MSFS. Panels are solely handled by SPAD.neXt.

Ok. Thanks. So how do I get my panels to work? they are not lighting up or active in FS 2020. They work perfectly in my X-Plane 11.50 that I have on the same drive.

Do all the Sim connects actions such as Toggle Parking brakes, I was not seeing this one work. Everything else seems ok with the SaiTech stuff Just assigning to a joystick or something is having some issues. The section MSFS all work ok but limited

Also, is there a way to set a key on the yoke lets say for push to talk that can be used with Pilot Edge.
