Switching FIP displays on the fly

Post by Vadermike777 » 03 Feb 2016, 03:36

Hello, I recently purchased a registered version of spad.next. I am extremely happy with it so far, great job! one feature that I would like to see implemented, that did exist on the saitek drivers,is the ability to switch between FIP displays, by the pushing up or down buttons on the fip.

For example, for someone that has 7 fip's, they could have 6 of them assigned to the normal 6 pack instruments, and have the 7th, rotate between rpm, vor, adf, and fuel gauge, depending on what they need to see at that particular moment in the flight.

It would be great to be able push the up down buttons to change the fip while flying, instead of having to go back into profile in spad to do so. Especially for a fip that will need to be changed multiple times during a flight. Thanks.

I also would like to see this as I have a small number of FIP's.

I would like to see each FIP's have a list of what gauges it will display.

It's been on the to do list for a while hope it's not dropped off. The issue has been more important updates have taken priority and sure this will get addressed.

Especially as I want to sell more gauges than people own FIPs lol!!

With the current instability of the DirectOutput drivers it makes no sense supporting more than one gauge per fip.
It will put even more load on tehd river and it will crash more often.
As soon I got rid off the DirectOutput drivers, multi-gauge will be implemented.
