Started learning Spad.NeXt and how it works with MSFS to automatically load profiles for whichever plane I choose to fly. Create one blank ‘Spad Alpha’ profile in MSFS, load a plane into the hanger, go to Spad and configure the profile for that plane. Load a different plane, configure in Spad. When you go back to the first plane, Spad knows it, and loads the correct controls profile. Voila! No more creating multiple control profiles in MSFS for different planes. Pretty cool. I did map some generic controls in the MSFS profile (aileron, elevator, and cockpit/external views.) But all the swiches, engine management, flaps, gear controls are done in Spad. Same with the Bravo.
I’ve been pretty slow learning Spad, as I encounter a lot of “Why the heck isn’t that working?” moments, and feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface of what it can do. And I’ve been spending WAY more time lately with my plane on the parking ramp, switching back and forth from the cockpit to Spad as I configure buttons.
As I gain more programming ability I’ll fly more, I just know it…
