Just recently picked up Spad.. been fun figuring it out but now I've got my mixture and condition levers set up properly with fuel cutoff using the detent for the button push and the proper axis only controlling the low and high modes. top of the axis puts it into high, bottom of the axis up to the detent puts you in low and pushing through the detent cuts fuel.
Once you start programming your hardware with it, there's no turning back. I can't even begin to imagine using in-game controls. Everything (everything!) is programmed through spad and mapped to external devices, secondary keyboards (for MCDUs), MIDI devices, Stream Decks, Honeycombs, Logitech panels of all types and so on and so forth. None of that would have been available without spad. It's the best flight sime investment I ever did.
@Iluv2Fly-kc5mu I'll partly agree with that, because there's an obvious lack of proper documentation. They usually provide limited assistance in their discord channel and there are plenty of tutorial videos around (especially by Les) but it's a fact that the entire project isn't exactly revolving around customer support. Most of the time you just have to figure things on your own, especially when it comes to more complicated stuff. On the other hand when it comes to MSFS, the latter isn't consistent by itself and they keep changing stuff, so spad is only trying to catch up.
I appreciate the work you do on these videos. Would it be possible to do one showing how you used SPAD.Next to set up your Virpil controls, specifically the VPC-MongoosT-50CM3 throttle and the flightstick/grip you have, (I am using the VPC Constellation ALPHA Prime), as well as your rudder pedals? (I'm using the MFG Crosswind rudder pedals). Thanks!
I cant get virpil panel to work with the condition lever axis. Ive programmed the prop pitch etc, but the condition axis isnt moving the red lever in the 208 analog from black square. Any input?
Hello, question. Would you know if there is a way to acknowledge an ATC transmission without using a mouse and clicking on the pop-up window? I would like to assign a button on my quadrant controller or my loupedeck for this purpose.
great video although i don't get why you set the mixture cutoff on the axis instead of putting that on the detent "button" on the axis i managed to work it out though by reverse engineering what you done great video only other thing i would have liked to have seen as a total noob to spad is how to set a parking brake toggle on/off switch to one button im just about to have a mess around trying that thanks very much for the help much appreciated ;)
On theTBM850 with the VS & Alt, I'm having to mouse click on the knob (on screen) before it lets me enter the numbers, just moving the selector switch on the Bravo is not activating or selecting the mode on screen. How do you have that set up? Thanks
Thanks for the video, what about the curves for the yaw, pitch and roll axis? Is there a necessity to adjust these for the controllers when using Spad ? Default MS curves typically make the aircraft very twitchy
Msfs has an old clucky useless garbage interface for setting the controls but here is this solution to complicate your life with that you need to pay and then go to university to use it. Yay!
@@Koalateatimes I am not complaining nor searching for fruits. They are poisonous anyway. I am simply informing others seeing this with hearts pumping of great hopes that spad.next is a solution. Keep your hopes with the money... in your pocket.
@@zaelu again, if you do not like the product, just say that and move on. What may not work for you as a software, does not mean it will be the same for everyone else. I happen to like this software better than MSFS, espcially when using my Honeycomb gear and then maybe my X56 setup. Do not shame and try to prevent another from prospering financially.
@@Koalateatimes rofl. Is the internet. If someone has different opinion is fine. don't sweat for it. If I don't like some product I can say I don't like it or I can just ignore it. But you as a... pier viewer or even producer of the product can't do nothing to stop people having opinions about products. Yours or not. On the contrary... starting to complain over opinion makes it worse not to mention it's resource wasteful.
@@zaelu I agree. However, opinionated or not, you had said to keep your money in your pocket. You didn't say that "you should do this", you simply blanket statement implied, "do not buy this because it's trash" which is an opinion of you because you're too lazy to use it. If you can't see or understand that, I recommend a few English classes on "Context: Why it Matters"
I wonder if spad can also detect the realsimgear stuff because I have the gfc-500 AP that with some planes like the new PC-12, the altitude knob will not control the altitude setting in the plane.
Can‘t imagine to live without it. Ulrich is doing an amazing job and your tutorials are great.
This video is EXTREMELY helpful

Great video, thanks for making this, really helped me dial in the Bravo Throttle.
These Basics are so important. Thank you for this useful tutorial.
Another helpful video..Spad is a good tool.
Yes, excellent program- long time user. I need to setup for Honda Jet. Thanks for the video!!

I have the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo controls so this should be amazing to have

Long time user, Spad is Life !

SPAD is a must for me and now with the B events exposed by Asobo, almost anything can now be mapped in SPAD.

How do I import and use an online profile. I’ve asked on their discords but they are a little impatient
ThxLee
Cant see it as it in the top left corner of your screen. Shame you couldn't Maximise it

I never use curves so my answer would be no
What an amazing vide¡ how ever i couldnt make the CRS to move at alli use vor obs but it did not work
So would you prefer spad or mobi
I really liked this video and found it very useful. I'm wanting to use SPAD,but from looking find it very confusing. What would you suggest?
Can you tell me, does this program automatically over ride settings wihin MSFS
No you would just create empty profiles in msfs
Does this cancel out the default flight control settings in msfs so there is no conflict?
Make a new blank profile call "Spad" in MSFS, so you don't have to clean your other profile
@@rubixkube2555 Can I have a mix off msfs keybinding (for the ones that works) and spadnext keybinding (for the one it doesn't works on msfs) ?
@@syltremb Yes !
It can used with midi controller? Thanks
Yes it can
😅I appreciate the tutorial but could you slow it down , its impossible to follow what you are doing
Msfs has an old clucky useless garbage interface for setting the controls but here is this solution to complicate your life with that you need to pay and then go to university to use it. Yay!
If you don’t like it, don’t use it. Complaining is fruitless.

Yes, SPAD supports the RSG hardware. I have a GFC500, G1000 suite and GNS530 and all work great.
