Saitek Pro-Flight panels support for the 737NGX

[mdenadal 0]

Hi Captains,

for those of you still interested about using the Multipanel, Radiopanel and Switchpanel with the NGX......

give SPAD a try ( http://fstools.weebly.com ).

I've recently added NGX MCP support to the Multipanel.

Regards,

 

Massimo.

Well, I hope so.... It should work just out of the box.

You only have to edit your 737NGX_Options.ini to enable the data broadcast (this is related to the NGX) and activate the NGX Special Mode within SPAD.

Just had a brief go and all seems to work well.

 

For those that have any Saitek Panels then go get it :Party:

Hi Kevin,

please consider that this release is focused on reproducing the MCP functions on the Multipanel.

Some work is done on the Radiopanel to fix barometric pressure regulation, in-hpa selection and ADF active-standby (it will be included soon in the next release).

 

Actually there's no much specific support for the Switchpanel, basically because I've still no idea on function mapping, especially:

- how to use the rotary knob.

- how to map the landing gear lever to the 737 three states lever.

 

Any suggestion on what to map on what button-knob-lever of the Switchpanel will be really appreciated !! And, if possible, implemented.

 

Regards,

Massimo

Just released a new SPAD version.

The main new feature is support for the Saitek BIP panel.

More Switch panel support for the NGX added as well.

Hi Massimo, using SPAD, I remapped all of the Saitek Pro Switch Panel to a Virtual Joystick so I could set up custom functions using LUA scripts. It works absolutely gr8.

 

couple of things:

The L button (or the R equivalent) doesn't seem to send a virtual button press to FSUIPC, all others work

 

The COWL open/close doesn't seem to have any way to assign keys to it.

 

Truly, I have enough place available on GF modules to take care of the required functions, I just thot I will mention it.

 

Thanks for sPAD, first time I flew the NGX without touching the mouse, from C&D, it's an awesome experience.

 

Cheers!!

Hi Charan,

thank you very much for your report !

After some debug I discovered that the problem is not related to L, R and COWL. But indeed there's a problem with Virtual Buttons on the Switchpanel.

I'll fix it in next release.

 

Please, if possible, post your further reports/requests in Spad forum, simply because I receive notification for every post in that forum letting me fix any bug more quickly.

Thanks.

Ciao,

Massimo
