New to Spad

I have just joined looking for a solution to a problem I have. I am new to MSFS and using Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo as c controllers. I don't line using autopilot with the Bravo and have just installed a Saitek multichannel Which does not appear in my list of connected devices in the Options section of MSFS. I would like to use this in place of the Bravo.

Does SPAD provide a solution for me?

Thanks in advance,

Otrman

Hi Otrman,

I don't have the bravo controller but I do use the Alpha Yoke. It works fantastic with Spad.Next.
Go to the main site using the 'Home' link above, download it and try it.
There is a time limited demo allowing you to try before you buy.

Hope that helps,
Pete.

Hello Pete,

My Alpha is doing fine. The Bravo only works with MSFS and the AP works but I just don't like it. I also use XP-11 and could not get the Bravo AP working with XP-11 so I bought the Logi Flight Panel which is basically used for AP. Saitek acquired Logitech and the I can use AP with XP-11. If I am using MSFS I just turn off the Saitek.

I would like to use the Saitek autopilot with both XP-11 and MSFS and was hoping that SPAD might have a solution.

Hi Otrman,

If I understood your last post correctly, you have to turn off the multi panel device when using MSFS?
You don't need to do that.

If you have the Saitek/Logitec drivers installed, they remain in control over the devices rather than Spad.Next.
These drivers need to be uninstalled for Spad.Next to control the device.
I have the Switch panel, Multipanel, 2x radio panels. from Saitek/Logitec and they all play nice with Spad.Next after removing the native drivers.

If I misunderstood your post, then forget everything I've written above. :D
Pete.
