Requirements: 
  * SimConnect must be **enabled** within SPAD.neXt


The FIP Support is 100% compatible with Saitek implementation, even the bugs haven been implemented.
For your reference the Saitek gauges come with the SPAD.neXt installation. (Directory ''Gauges\Saitek'' , File ''Saitekgauges.snz'' , if desired you can unzip that file )

Also 3 commercial gauges are provided as demos (working for 15 minutes). 

  * Altimeter gauge by www.fipgauges.com
  * Airspeed Gauge by www.fipgauges.com
  * A C172 Airspeed + Clock gauge by [[https://fsxtimes.wordpress.com/hardware-index/gauge-collection-paid/|Tom Tsui (FSX Times)]]
