Why You Should Use SPAD.next with MSFS

[@vaccaro1966]

It loads you on the runway because those geniuses at Asobo have decided that you first have to select the aircraft and then you select airport and parking spot.

This video may not be sponsored but is greatly appreciated! Even though I have multiple friends who have shared it with me you might as well slap my name on it! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ArieGBoom]

A well-structured explanation and very helpful, regarding the various options. It seems very complex at first, but with your explanation, it gradually becomes clearer. Thank you!

I'm finishing assembly of my Class Echo, so this video is very timely for me.

[@ironknobair]

Great help man. Thanks

[@richardsuttill54]

A great tutorial, thank you. I am convinced now that I need it. I am also sold on Class Echo. Now to save up some money...

[@traderoracle]

Skip to 07:30 . Great video!

[@DesignEagles]

Another stellar tutorial! I have been wrestling a tad with the setup flow…thanks!

[@jay-rus4437]

I cant get the mixture set in the c208 analog. Spad sees the axis that Im using, and Ive setup prop pitch etc, but the only axis assignment for mixture is exactly that. So is there something special I need to do for the low idle and high etc with the mixture lever in the caravan analog?

[@DeltaTristar500]

Thank you for this video. Helped out alot

[@SavageGunFighter21]

I might give this a shot with the whole mixture not saving bug in MSFS2024.

[@miri-hw6gf]

Good tutorial ! Can you explain the difference of Pressed & Held for making trim assignment?

[@OverkillSimulations]

Sure! Pressed = the moment you touch the control the input is sent to the simulator Held = you must hold the button for more than half a second before anything happens

[@miri-hw6gf]

@@OverkillSimulations thanks for prompt advice.

[@airbluex79]

Just noticed that your spadnext about 8 months ago. Love it. Any plans to due on setup it with a helicopter.

[@OverkillSimulations]

I can definitely do that for you yes!

[@airbluex79]

@@OverkillSimulations thank you

[@MICHELVIANDIER]

We are in France. We have MSFS class echo and spadnext. We can’t connect class echo and spadnext. Regarding spadnext, we can’t make the configuration as we do not have the tab ‘online snippets’. If somebody can help us it would be grateful. Thanks

[@ArtG-49]

Absolutely agree with you wrt SPAD. I have absolutely no idea how I would configure all my various hardware addons to work with the various aircraft I fly in the sim without SPAD!?

[@robertungemach8352]

I currently do not have either spad or mobiflight but I wonder if anyone knows if both will play nicely together if I were to run both spad and mobiflight at the same time?

[@jonasfogelberg9300]

Can you map the buttons and rotaries on the Garmin GPS units? What I’m struggling with is trying to operate the GPS buttons and their rotaries with the mouse. The mouse is so insensitive you always rotate the wrong one.

[@jay-rus4437]

So would you still use this over some of the other options? Axis and Ohs, for example. From what I came across, even mobiflight.

[@philchimbolo]

No… you loaded up the sim (on video) without selecting a parking spot initially. So, it will always put you in a runway by default. The screen showed you what runway you were going to spawn on.

[@imc2cavu]

correct. he has to select it and RMB and set it as departure.

[@BillCClinton]

Great info! How do you assign the flaps to the flap axis on the CM3. In MSFS I simply assign it to flap axis and it works with up, middle and down for the 3 flap positions.

[@magicnorm2036]

Can’t find which event to use for the collective in helicopters. Can you help me with this. Thanks in advance. Great work by the way.

[@OverkillSimulations]

I usually just use throttle. Which aircraft

[@michaelprobasco6496]

when you get to the video before it has gotten to 1080p quality...

[@brianflyer1]

A great video and very helpful,do you know if it will configure the Fenix A320 with the Saitek panels

[@Bladez1964]

Question a bit off topic. I noticed you are running MSFS in windowed mode. Is that better than full screen? I run 4 monitors if that makes a difference.

[@mikecoffee100]

Where can I find the G36 Mod for SU 12 please and thank you and as usual you have Awesome Content

[@lowrivera]

Just started simming approx 6 weeks ago and I find that even though I select a parking spot it will load me on the running, cold and dark. No double check that the ramp is selected before I start a flight. double checking is the only thing that has prevented this. Extra step. Currently using FSUIPC, should I switch up? I have such a hard time setting up the controls with FSUIPC, especially with the FBW a320. Would appreciate some input from anyone who has experience with any of these pieces of software.

[@vega4k849]

unfortunately there is a bug with the multipanel that doesn't make it work

[@AlpineWarren]

Do you have to clear all MSFS bindings first?

[@OverkillSimulations]

Yes or they will conflict. MSFS will also still recognize a button was clicked

[@airbluex79]

Have not use SPAD next since pad. My question is do you still need remove in game controllers.

[@OverkillSimulations]

You would create an empty profile in msfs

[@marcw.5492]

I am assuming Honeycomb with all its features is a good fit with SPAD NEXT and MSFS ? (thinking of the trim wheel) Im a bit surprised you did the demo with Virpil and not Honeycomb... Good all round however. thx I do wonder how MSFS got the button assigning so quirky... must have been the non programmers that were in charge. I have never seen the word TRANSLATE to identify movement, and so many vocabulary inconsistencies as well. This is the answer I am sure !

[@atcmiker]

I already use Spad, but never used it for my HOTAS, if I program spad to use my stick do I need to delete my profile from within MSFS or does Spad take priority over it.

[@BillCClinton]

I saw this mentioned on another youtubers video. You create a new profile called "spad Virpil Throttle profile" and clear it out. Do that for each device you want to use spad for. That way you can always go back and use the MSFS profile you originally used in case thing go sideways.

[@louismassicotte6372]

How do you program spad. with go flight

[@michaelsipah]

Does SPAD override the MSFS/XP configured buttons or do I have to set those specific buttons to “do nothing” in the Sims?

[@miethiel811]

You have to clear al assignation in MSFS

[@JenniferinIllinois]

I can't imagine flying in the sim without SPAD.

[@ClevaTreva]

Why can't you just set keybinds etc in MSFS itself?

[@OverkillSimulations]

Many of the features and options that can be bound in SPAD aren't visible in MSFS.

[@imellor711]

SPAD is far expensive for me, for what it does.......thank you. My bug bear is anything 3rd party titled Flight sim are far too excessively expensive. When you can buy the simular things to be for other applications or industry, at 3rd of a price. Like TV over monitors, raspberry pi touch screens over specific flightsim cockpit dials and MDF equipment. Flightsim isn't cheap keeping a number of other people away from it.

[@metalnwood]

It's clearly not needed for a number of people, but for those that will get some benefit the price is not over the top at all. You quickly find msfs to be frustrating with what you can map with its built in options that don't reflect more exhaustive list that is there. The price of this product doesn't keep people away from msfs, its not required but its handy for those that find the benefits and the benefits are worth the $25

[@dannycnoble]

i guess in the intro overlay "where you say this video is not sponsored or requested". you can move the requested part. i have been watching all of your virpil set up videos. now i am ready to start using them on msfs. in the last video of yours i watched you said spad.next a lot. i was like "he needs to make a video on how to set up spad.next". so searched youtube and you have already made one. so this video has now been requested even though you have had this video out a year. LOL

[@pito2531]

what about do i have to remove all hardware from msfs profile setting first and then start setting spadnext . what im really asking is will the setting in msfs will mess with spadnext or can i keep both . I have pro flight yoke system and every panels from saitel plus all winwing hardware also

[@JCCTNOWCA]

You are going so fast as a novice you have lost me completely

[@paulthurston2883]

I bought a copy of Spaz Next to run my 6 Logitech Instrument Panels. I could never get the thing to work. It kept giving me all kinds of error messages and basically stuffed my already working setup. I wanted to purchase & run some of those FIP Gauges you can get. They need this program to run & install them. I gave up and deleted Spad (Spaz) ? Shame as some of those add on panels look fantastic.
