Haha, at one point I had switch tank reminders programmed into the message functionality of the TDS GTN750.

SPAD can also control the Saitek gauges, and you even have more functionality that way. There are some really good gauges available at fipgauges.com which I use to populate my 9 gauges depending on the aircraft I fly. Otherwise all is already said here, one thing that I would add is the possibility to change axis scaling depending on flight phase or other conditions (I have set up my throttle when flying the Caravan that I only reach beta when the condition lever is set to low idle, when it is set to high idle the lowest throttle is flight idle).

Thank you for all tips here.
I will probably take a night (if my wife do not kill me bcs I am not sleeping)
and set up my Saitec panels and gauges. Just to see that it works. Probably
I will learn a lot of that. Then maybe will take one of my yoke / throttle and convert it to SPAD.neXt,
I have three one
1: Logitec.
2: VelocityOne
3: Honeycomb Yoke and Throttle
But I have no streamdeck. Maybe I will bought some peripherals that have just buttons and then use it with SPAD.neXt.
About applying the controls between MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 it was not so hard for me because I have all mappings dokumented on paper.
OK it took a while but not so long bcs the buttons is not to many on those peripherals I have.
Wow - That reminds me that I also have an Logitec X56 in my locker.
I do have not converted it to MSFS2024 yet so maybe I will test that.
I understand fully that conditions and the capabillity to handle 3 level switches is a great expansion of possibilities but I have not seen any cases where this should be mandatory.
One I read of here - is the message system - I have ran out of fuel in Bonanza but happily on good attitude so it was possible to restart after switching tanks. But is the messaging system a part of the cheaper package of SPAD.neXt ?
Thx all of you for tips and I will go back to this topic when I try to make use of SPAD.

Also be aware that you can use other - non flightsim specific (and usually cheaper) - hardware and map them using Spad.Next. One example is the Behringer X-Touch Mini (if you are a muso of any description). It has 18 buttons, 8 dials (rotary) and a slider which can all be controlled by Spad.Next (incl the whether the lights are on or off)
