Hi guys, I know a number of you are waiting for the new vid with the latest version of Spad Next. Apologies for the delay, but real life and streaming has been taking priority. I am going to do my very best to get the video done within the week! :)
Amazed! You hv connected FSX, FSUIPC, SPAD and the hardware controllers! As a sys programmer in a past life, I understand drivers and IPC. It all fits together. your explanations were great but your demonstrations brought things to life. thank you, tony
Tj ohara Many thanks indeed, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've since upgraded SPAD and also now have the Saitek radio panel, so I need to make another video soon! :)
I cannot find the words to THANK YOU for those tutorials, I cannot find the way to thank u. You have explained all the aspects I was looking for and I hope it will work for me, Today I am going to buy, install, configure, and enjoy the flying.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It really helped me because I am building a home simulator cockpit. The videos that show how I did it are going on my channel soon. Cheers, Ryan.
RattyAviation thanks Ryan, much appreciated, and so glad the video helped you. I've subscribed to your channel, so will check out your vids when time allows 😀
Totally understand priority are first i was checking in i have others asking me if i was able to get to work yet but i just told them to hit you up on your page everybody has to be patient well thank you again see you soon
In practice, can you delete the simulator configurations (xp11, p3dv4, fsx and c) and have all of them be managed by Spad? If yes, fsuipc for xplane and p3dv4, should it be installed anyway? When opening the panel settings, I am asked if I want to set default, xplane or simconnet, but which one should be set? I use all three simulators? Last question: if for example I 747 pmdg with 10 liveries, how can I tell spad to stop the same settings for all? Thanks for the assistance and info N.B: I bought the full version
@NordicSaint - you mean the knob which controls magnetos ? If so, set each position individually, e.g magneto left, magneto right, magneto both, and magneto start. Let me know if that's what you're looking for, or if you mean something else :)
I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the only tabs I have on the top of SPAD are "home", "profiles", "addons", "settings" and "support". With only these settings, I can't bind any of my controls. Do I have to get the registered version SPAD, or do I have other options?
Hello Steelerboiy you made my life so easy i have the pay one you just safe alot of us i have one question you won't happen to have the FIP setting if you do please i need help with the Fip but thank you so much for the best video ever and if you ever get another type of panel please make a video on it thank you again
hello their ive been on the web site for spad next 8. but I cant find it ,the only one I can see is spad 9.0 can you help please.ive got Saitek multi panel and switch panel and as you say the normal drivers send the panels into space.... thank you.......
good morning and compliments, could you tell me how to speed up the rotation of hdg? currently to make a full turn, I have to rotate knob 60 a lot of times, there is a command to configure the knob rotation speed? thank you
hi Steelerboiy, hope you are still looking at this page. do I need to disable all the commands with in FSX before I use spad.neXt? also how do I set up the throttle quads.? hope you can help.
So I’m having difficulty getting the switch panel to actively turn the multi panel on and off I’m talking about the actual physical panel not in the airplane on the simulator but the actual physical saitek multi panel itself won’t go on and off when I turn the avionics switch off on the switch panel. Also now the radio panels are acting freaky I can’t go from standby the active so I don’t know what’s going on since I installed spad
Hi Collin, yep they're still up. All the FSX vids can be found grouped together in a playlist at th-cam.com/play/PLy59kXQye4E8rDZLBX-m6PXqzf1J3YLj_.html
great video and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I have a couple of questions. First, are these drivers compatible with every MS Flight sims?. Second, If I have all mad catz drivers installed, should I have to Uninstall them to install the SPAD drivers?
Hey Dario, thank you for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I can only speak to confirm things from my own personal experience, but yes I have had the original SPAD working way back with FS2004, and then the new SPAD NeXt with both FSX and now P3D v4. As for drivers, again speaking personally, I uninstalled the Saitek / MadCatz drivers and just have SPAD. Hope that helps :)
Steelerboiy I installed spad but it won't run. I'm desperate since the switch panel and the BIP won't work. the switch panel works erratically and the BIP won't even turn on. Brakes are always active! I'm about to cry hahaha any thoughts?
Sadly I cant get it to start. It always says, after double-start-click, "failed to get a registration key/ internal error occoured" And I can't access the site as it seems. At the moment. I try again tomorrow
hello good morning, i do the procedure as you explain in the video but the simulator does not identify the panels, I ask you to help me as soon as possible. I have the basic flight simulator X
Hey Steelerboiy Here is a list of planes i have hope you have then also ( A2A , PMDG , Q400 , A318 to A321 , ) hope you can use one of this special A2A cherokee 180 or the comanche 250 the button are not easy to set up i try but it just dont work thank you
Amazing Sir! Best Spad Tutorial online. Thank you for the clarity and simplicity. Just one question though; I have a number of panels and a registered version of SPAD. The SAITEK drivers for all the panels have ofcourse installed by default. Would you be in a position to explain how to disable them and install through SPAD? God bless
I've just installed Spadnext, and I've got called mine took to FSUIPC, but not to SimConnect. (Some of the buttons only have an option to connect to FSUIPC which works okay, but others only give me an option to use SimConnect, so they don't work) I've gone through the config wizard, and did the 'test connection' and it shows a test result successful with sim connect, but (at the bottom of the screen) still shows not connected. Any ideas what I need to do?? Thanks again (Ps; with the free version the saitek BIP works, but no instrument panel option unless you go for the paid version)
There is an option to connect via a free 5 day trial... I'm thinking the Spad software interface is maybe blocking certain FSUIPC functions on the switch panel to get users to buy the paid version to access sim connect. I guess you can't get anything for free nowadays
Hi, I managed to successfully download SPAD and it is connected to SimConnect but for some reason my display screen on my Saitek multi panel does not seem to work. It lights up but nothing displays on it.
Hi there, many apologies for the delay on getting the new vid out! Real life just been taking priority. I haven't forgotten though, and will do my best to get it out within the next week! :)
Thank you i am having so much problem and please do it a step by step i have all every single panel you name i got it can wait please let me know when is done thank you
Instructions say...Due to Windows security restrictions, do not install SPAD.neXt to the Root-Folder of your system drive (e.g. C:\SPAD.neXt)! ?????!!!!

Thank you!!!! Very helpful videos. I am curious as to how to configure the start switch for a twin engine aircraft?
Great video, it really helped me. But how do you make the buttons light up on the multipanel?
bloody good video Thank you
Thank you!!!! It worked

Hi guys, just to let you know I'll be doing a vid on using SPAD 0.9 within the next week or two! :)
hello their ive been on the web site for spad next 8. but I cant find it ,the only one I can see is spad 9.0 can you help please.ive got Saitek multi panel and switch panel and as you say the normal drivers send the panels into space.... thank you.......
Hi, I'm going to do my best to record a vid using the latest version, hopefully within the next week :)
good morning and compliments, could you tell me how to speed up the rotation of hdg? currently to make a full turn, I have to rotate knob 60 a lot of times, there is a command to configure the knob rotation speed? thank you
hi Steelerboiy, hope you are still looking at this page.
do I need to disable all the commands with in FSX before I use spad.neXt? also how do I set up the throttle quads.? hope you can help.
Very useful.
The left knob on the switch panel how do i set that up? I can only figure out the start and off.
So I’m having difficulty getting the switch panel to actively turn the multi panel on and off I’m talking about the actual physical panel not in the airplane on the simulator but the actual physical saitek multi panel itself won’t go on and off when I turn the avionics switch off on the switch panel. Also now the radio panels are acting freaky I can’t go from standby the active so I don’t know what’s going on since I installed spad
I can’t find the previous two videos you mention at the beginning of this video. Are they still up?
Hi Collin, yep they're still up. All the FSX vids can be found grouped together in a playlist at th-cam.com/play/PLy59kXQye4E8rDZLBX-m6PXqzf1J3YLj_.html
great video, A quick question, How come the sitek panel display lights on the buttons don't light along with the buttons on the sim?
Hiya, stay tuned, as I'll be doing a vid on using the latest version of SPAD very soon, and the panel lights work this time :)
Can i use Spad to use the ignition as autobrake? would i need the pay fsuipc?
great video and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I have a couple of questions. First, are these drivers compatible with every MS Flight sims?. Second, If I have all mad catz drivers installed, should I have to Uninstall them to install the SPAD drivers?

Steelerboiy I installed spad but it won't run. I'm desperate since the switch panel and the BIP won't work. the switch panel works erratically and the BIP won't even turn on. Brakes are always active! I'm about to cry hahaha any thoughts?
Hi Dario, do you also have FSUIPC installed ? Are you running FSX or P3D ? Does SPAD start to run and then crash with an error ?
Oh, and which version of SPAD are you using ? I believe the latest is 0.9.6.4
I tried installing both FSUIPC and SPAD, and both wont work. Im running FSX. Thanks for your time!
Sadly I cant get it to start. It always says, after double-start-click, "failed to get a registration key/ internal error occoured" And I can't access the site as it seems. At the moment. I try again tomorrow

Do you have to have fsuipc installed to do this?
Hahaha, no Dan, this SPAD means Saitek Panel Advanced Drivers :)
I've just installed Spadnext, and I've got called mine took to FSUIPC, but not to SimConnect.
