Ok, so i decided to install spad.next again to give it another try… and they do seem to have added an option to sync all buttons once the panel is first used… so it does now behave the same add default in that respect…i.e. as soon as i hit any one switch on the panel, the sim syncs up with how ALL the other physical switches are. Spad.next does seem to handle the USB suspend stuff for each device upon startup too, which is great. I’ll have to do some testing obviously, but this does seem like a good solution.
Only down sides now are that the yoke no longer displays the time… but the stopwatch still works.
I’ve found some “online snippets” for the 3 panels (radio, switch, multi), by an author called connexct something or other… and they are labelled as “default” and seem to offer same functions as the default logitech drivers would… except the radio panel is fixed by moving in increments of .25 instead of 0.5 like the default did (i think?).
One other thing I’m not really sure about with this setup… I’ve already set profiles for the yoke, 2 throttles, and rudders, as well as my gear falcon trim wheel and razer tartarus keypad… they seem to still be working in flight sim (even though i thought I’d uninstalled everything related to logitech… the devices are recognised in spad.next but i haven’t set anything up for them in there… is it ok to just use them as is, or do i really need to set them up in spad.next?
What are the real benefits of doing in there instead of the sim? Because setting them all up in spad.next seems very complicated to me, and the same author hasn’t made profiles for these… is there any that are set up the same as defaults?
