Requirements:
free unregistered Version of SPAD.neXt : FSUIPC (unpaid version) is needed

• SaiFlightSimX: If you have SaiFlightSimX installed it will interfere with the panel communication.
• Linda: Please disable all Panel-Access within Linda, else it will interfere with the panel communication
• SST (Saitek Profiler): If you use SST for any device, disable those in SPAD.neXt

Currently only one gauge per FIP-Device is supported.

Requirements:

• Saitek DirectOutput Driver 64Bit Version 7.0.40.0 or newer. Recommended: 7.0.47.1
• SimConnect must be enabled within SPAD.neXt

By default SPAD.neXt will manage the DirectOutput Services. It will try to start it if it's not running and shut it down when exiting.

If you do not want this behavior, you can change it in Settings→Application “Manage DirectOutput Services”

If you want to have the DirectOutput Service managed by SPAD.neXt, you can safely change the startup mod of the service to “manual”, but make sure SPAD.neXt has the necessary rights to start it.

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 Tom Tsui (FSX Times)

SPAD.neXt implementation add some new possibilities to the gauges. If you are a gauge developer see SPAD.neXt Gauge Extensions for details.

The Pro Flight Yoke and Cessna Yoke are supported. To be able to use the mode shifting, you will need to make a manual change to your system. You will see a warning if this change needs to be made.

Please see LVAR Support for a general overview and requirements for LVAR Support.

Please make sure that the sim is loading the most current version ( 1.0.0.16 ) of the SPAD.neXt Simulator Bridge, else LVAR will not work.
