This Channel is all about my passions....which is mostly Flying and Flight Simulation. I love to mix the two as Flight Simulation helps to keep many of the skills proficient. When the weather is bad or reviewing the plan for the next flight -- Use the sim!!
Want to know what is in my Real Flight Bag -- well minus Cameras and mounts :) . Or What Sim Hardware I like to use! check out my Affiliate Link.. at some point I will try to figure out a way to link it all via other platforms since not everything is available on Amazon.. but they made it the easiest to find and click to add :)

Please DON'T put music on the video, could not listen to it because of the music.
Thanks for yelling at me like a 7 year old.
The minicockpit units are rubbish, mine has so many light leaks it is now under the bed in its box, had the same issue as you the USB did not line up with the slot. Switched to winwing better quality unit and cheaper price. I will never buy another minicockpit product again, total rip-off money wise for badly made product.
It did not stand up very well to the entrance from WinWing... especially considering the follow up with their efis and other products is behind and now not even more than a future announcement. Price wise .. it was still much better (early bird only.. the later regular price is way out of reason) than anything announced before it. So it could live with a few early blemishes.. but once those Winwing products shipped it for sure exposed the blemishes.
Hi Les. Would you consider doing a video like this for the ifly 737 Max8?
Not yet -- two reasons - 1 Plane is still in early access and some changes have already taken place regarding the SDK ... 2 - it's not in a released version of SPAD still in Beta ... so same issue is that things may or will change. So we will wait it out a little.
Thanks for this frank video. I'm new to the 480 (yes, I know I'm a decade late to the game) and might have used that product to explore the 480. Glad I saw this...I'll not even download it.
Yup love the 480 ... but this is not one to use for reference. best to just use the old garmin trainer.
I fly the 172 with the G1000 and the TBM with the G3000. Is there a single panel that will allow the Logitech radio to work with both of those systems?
No. You need to make profiles for different planes and then load devices targeted to those avionics.
They had the white one on a flash sale in the 8-9 but my desk beside my pc is alk black pc is white but my ocd wouldnt allow me to buy the white so waiting till black frfday fingers crossed
Could just take it apart and spry paint the cover :)
no..... im forced to use spadnext trial beacuse logitech program dosent work so yay my 130$ equipment need paid software😓
No one is forcing you to do anything. I started using this software in 2015 because I wanted to control all kinds of add ons and remap per plane. Never looked back and was never sad. If Spad did not exist I would probably not be simming much.
@@LesOReilly well I finally got it to work and noticed how limited it is so I'm now intested in mabye buying it so I can re-map things
i downloaded the FSX version to see if it will work with FS2004. I got brand new Virpil controls but i love FS 2004 so much and the mods i have makes it look much better than MSFS and i can run it on max settings with now fps hit like MSFS. SPAD next 14 day trial is awesome. and i love how spad next in big letters enforces there is no refund because they give you 14 days to try the full version for free.
I have no clue if this will work with FS2004 can’t imagine it will.
@LesOReilly it does not. But i had to give it a shot. LOL. Now i have to teach myself how to use fsuipc to set things up on fs9. I will use sapdnext if i ever get 2020.
Hi, I am checking out this program for the first time, and it looks great. But when I add a button for AP it toggles from off to on then back to off again if I press the button for more then a few millisec, if I am quick on the button it goes from off to on and stays on. In your video at 6:18 I could hear you press the button once and see the AP light flicker from on to off then back to on again. My question is; am I doing something wrong or do you actually need to be that quick pressing the physical button?
sounds like you might still have the Logitech software still installed and running .. thus probably both software are sending events
@@LesOReilly Thanks for the reply, but I dont use logitech, I use vkb gladiator. On my msfs computer I only have installed air manager, popout manager and spad.next (and ofc msfs). So you do not have the same issue as me, could you check again what happends if you press your AP button and hold it for like 300-600 millisec?
@@LesOReilly Thanks for the reply, though I figured it out, I had to (in spadnext) turn on "Gamepad mode" for my joysticks (using vkb gladiator's)
Well you are commenting about issues press an AP button on a video about the Logitech Multipanel. But until now never mentioned you were talking about buttons on a joystick device.
@@LesOReilly Yes, thats my bad, should have mentioned I used a stick, sry
Could I still use spad.next to create a cutoff to idle throttle detent in the detent that's supposed to be thrust reverse?
sure .. remap the ranges how you like. The TCA even has a way to remove the detenets
Magnificent tutorial - love it You are a pro
Wow, thanks!
Thank you. What am I doing wrong. over 90fps in NYC with 4090. massive fps drop when right alt + left click. No improve when dragging to screen connected to motherboard hdmi (high end PC) . So 97fps -> 60FPS when same GPU ---> a bit lower on second screen on motherboard hdmi.... just bought realsimgearstuff having seen your video without trying this thinking it would work...Darn me
With a 4090 you’re probably using Frame GEN and that probably won’t work with that any longer. I don’t have an onboard GPU with my 7800x3D and 4090 so can’t comment.
@LesOReilly thank you for swift reply . I believe rivatuner was the issue.... when disabling fps on screen .... it went back up .
can u make for inibuild a32n?
I don’t use or have ever flown that plane. You will need to search the snippets for others that have shared.
Very interesting instructions, would you mind in provide a video on how to add a display or a 7 digit display module MAX7219 like, to a arduino IDE, to show in SPAD Next?
See the examples that are in the PINED messages in the spad discord. Considering this exact conversation is going on there regarding that model of part I assume you’re one of those people.
A great set of tutorials. Just a quick one before I get Spad. Does using it fix the issues with the Bravo and the Fenix A320 Autopilot and the reversers? Currently for me the Bravo autopilot does nothing and the reversers won’t go into reverse idle. I can’t get on the discord as mentioned in another comment as I don’t have a serial number yet. I also have the Stream deck plus which you need the full version for and I’m reluctant to spend over $100 unless it works with everything. Thanks.
Fenix is all LVAR based. Yes it has access to everything.
@@LesOReilly Brilliant. I’ve no idea what that means, yet, but thanks for the feedback. I’ll investigate this weekend.
The link to the firmware updater is no longer valid. The only one I can find is Firmware Uploader 20220426. This version does not allow you to choose a hex file.
Look into finding XLoader then or reach out to MiniCockpit and ask them to make the file available since it is their site and their article that is still pointing to a file.
How to add the TOGA button to the Boeing Quadrant in the App? The button is not recognized in the App
all of the buttons and reversers on the TCA Boeing will show up as events on the axis control - so click on the axis the button is attached to add event and you will find buttons.
I did it exact the way you mentioned with the snippet on my yoke but its not working :/
Then you did not do it correctly or you have not yet setup the 777 SDK INI file correctly.
Awesome video. Great work 3 years old and still very useful. I see you have a lot more videos. Can't wait watch them, you made me buy some logitech panels and i'm happy. Following this video was also useful to have a nice radio stand. ua-cam.com/video/fLu7ruh7HTs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AlmedinFilms The issue i have is that when setting 2x left knob to COM1 for isntance and then long press, the switch between 2 and 3 digits to the left of the dot occurs not only on the device i want to but the 2 others as well. Is there any way to make the change for only one radio panel? the thing is the one in the middle is out of sync.
When you change the between 25 and 8.33 it is the same variable. so they are tracking that standard variable. If you want them different then you need to use local variables or remove the tracking of the variable that is defining how many digits to show.
Man, you made me purchase 4 of these panels and SPAD. I also followed the recommendation from this video ua-cam.com/video/fLu7ruh7HTs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AlmedinFilms and i have a great looking radio panel (3 radio on one unit) and (switch multi radio for the other stand); Thank you for making the profile and putting up this video. I see you have made a lot more of these and i can't wait to watch them all. I have a question at this time. when long pressing and having the 2 radio from one radio panel on com1. i can indeed switch from 2 digits to 3 on the left side of the dot to show the 1 or not wether 3 digits are needed or not behind the dot. The issue i have is that once i have 3 or 4 radio panels connected, the sequence seems inverted on some panel. Plus i have to set all 6 or 8 com1 right rotary knobs to com1 to make the switch. Isn't there a way to keep the changes to one panel and not all of them? Have i missed something?
you need to program them independently then .. if you use the same snippet on all they will behave the same -- they are looking to a standard A Var to decide what to display based on using 25 or 8.33 spacing.
very much appreciated!
Glad it was useful.
Downloaded the Snippet. When I came to setting up the APU I can implement the condition LVAR but cannot find it to implement it as an Action. Has this changed?
Check the fly by wire documentation on which to use now.
Ok so if we have a button which rebounds in sim, and we want to press and hold, what's the process for that? Everything I've tried makes it press and hold but it flutters on the hold execution.
Depends on which button in which plane - if they are LVARs usually use Button Press and set to 1 then use button release and set it to zero.
is there an aircraft assignment for the Hjet? I cant seem to find it in the list
No idea what you’re asking. What assignment? Which control? What are you trying to control?
How do you accelerate the heading bug increment and decrement?
(MSFS) SPAD.neXt | Conditional Event and Acceleration ua-cam.com/video/7U9YPcLAg7Y/v-deo.html That video shows how to make it work for events.
Thank you very much for the explanation, a few months ago I bought the TDS GTN Xi Pro, I fly frequently in South America and the Caribbean and I do not see details of the taxiways, not the terminals, it only works in the United States
Think you need to open a chart then and see the geo reference. Use you navigraph charts.
I was trying to get the RADALT to detect my set DH in the Lear 35A and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Then I realized that I needed to round the number to a whole number to match the DH (DH is in whole numbers, 200, 300, etc.). Had I not remembered seeing you *round* in this video, awhile ago, I would have never figured it out on my own. 😵💫 Les, you're a genius! 😅 Sooo incredible to have Boeing GPWS audio callouts in the Lear! "plus 100"/"approaching minimums", "decision height"/"minimums", etc. Once I actually start taking some real flights in this thing (instead of just test flights), I'll go ahead and setup a TOD pause, lol. Spad is one of the most useful programs I've ever used, in my flight simulator experience! (over four decades)
Glad you are having great success with your build outs!! Spad is amazing - I can’t be bothered to sim without it.
@@LesOReilly Absolutely! Your work over the years, with these videos, is what really shines light on how incredible Spad is! Thanks a million 😊
@@LesOReilly Quick question (not tech support). Do you know of a way to pause the audio playback in spad? I'm attempting to setup various checklist that I can pause and resume via a button. I have a few checklist audio files ready, just haven't figured out a good way to pause/resume. Thanks
Nope. Best to chop them up into separate files.
@@LesOReilly I found a post by a guy who said he uses Winamp player (I haven't heard that name in years), which allows you to assign hotkeys for Play, Pause, Next/Prev track, etc. It runs in the background. I'll give that a try and have Spad trigger the hotkey combo. That should work for what I'm doing. Thanks!

For a Switch that has ON and OFF positions but we don't have an ability to Send an On or OFF Event we can use conditions to guard the toggle event. Basically the switch needs to be kept from getting out of sync. So you only let it send the toggle event if the Sim Variable allows it to do that.
Is it possible to change the mode's label on the screen? like HDG, IAS etc.
No those are hard coded in the Logitech firmware. Only numbers can be updated on the screen.
@@LesOReilly ok, could it be programmed so that you can change values without virtual power. Also another question that came to my mind is are you able to change the brightness
you can disable the need for Virtual Power all together .. look in the spad settings tab for that. No ther is no brightness with this device.
thank you so much , finally I got it work thanks to you bro , you are the best
Cool!! Onwards down the rabbit hole of sim building you go!
@LesOReilly do you have the efis from virtual aviones as well ? Because a few things work on my
VA would not share information with developer .. so no way to implement the device fully.

What are you going on about?
Is VJoy still required for the condition lever in the caravan. Im having issues with this right now. Can get my low and high idle to engage via spad
Nope should be able to use the B Event for this now.
@@LesOReilly …okay. I will do some research on what a B event is
@jay-rus4437 use the discord for spad. I am sure it’s been posted.
I posted an example for you in the MSFS-FREE channel of the spad discord
@@LesOReilly ….There isnt a “MSFS-FREE” section in Spad Discord. Am I missing something
I'm currently in Trial Mode and will, in the next couple of days, upgrade to a Full Licence. However, at the moment I'm wrestling with having the Yoke Throttle sliders converted to a switch in the 777 move the Start Switch on the OH, apply a pause of 1000ms and then move the Fuel Control lever to Run. I have added the event and applied the same range for ON but it doesn't work. Have you tried to do this in the 777? I should mention that I can make this work with a normal button using the Short and Long Press types to start and shutdown the engines.
Have you resolved this? You have two separate comment threads going.. One you say you have it sorted and this one says you don't?
@@LesOReilly I have the fact the levers didn't move sorted. The action that is not OK is making the slider execute the two functions - Move start switch followed by move the fuel lever after a delay pause.
@@andybrockbank3027 you are going to need to make a Local Variable that you set instead of the Fuel Lever... Set it to a 0 or a 1. Then you will attach two Scripts and inside the scripts you will build it like you did on the Button. The Scripts will run based on that Local Variable being a 0 or a 1. Just like a "switch" would operate.
@@LesOReilly Thanks but well beyond my skill set. I'll just go back to using the mouse.
if you made it work on a Button it is the same skill set... Script is just another item that runs on something "changing" as opposed to human pressing button.
Extremely well done video. Learned a bunch of new things that I can incorporate into my own flights. Also made me want the PC-12 :P
PC12 just got a new update. Bunch of fixes and improvements. One of my preferred planes for sure
Any way to change the text depending on conditions?
BIP panels the text are plates not an LCD screen.
Thanks for the video on this . Learning sopmething new each day. However, just tried to do it for the PMDG 777 and the fuel levers don't work. Is this a known problem or am I missing something?
Make sure the SDK is enabled for the 777 - fuel levers work I have done videos for other throttles and controlling it.
Thanks for that,. SDK was enabled but I erred on the range setting. Now works OK.
And what about the other question related to basically the same thing? are you good now?
Good afternoon sir. First I want to thank you for your videos. They are saving me huge amounts of time with Spad. I have a question for you if I may... I have purchased a Prodesksim fuel cut off switch for my PMDG 737. Is it possible to adopt your profile and still map out my cut off switch to buttons 9 and 12? The issue that I see is where you use the bottom detent of the P/L for fuel cut off how would I disable THAT feature. Dont want to drop into the detent on landing and shut off my engines. Thanking you in advance for any help you may offer.
Just delete the events assigned to the button on the detents. Video has chapters will show you which. Buttons they are.
@@LesOReilly Thank you sir, Ill give it a shot.
@@LesOReilly Good morning sir, may I ask another? My version of Spad is the latest. I cant find your profile there. Is there any way to change my version to 9.12.37 as its the Bravo lights that I really want? I appreciate your time sir. Thank you.
@@tombrady5867 that is an old version from the video .. I am on a much newer version now. I don't make Profiles -- I make and publish Device Snippets for each device as my profile would contain other devices that you don't have. There is a chapter in the video on how to download my Snippet.
@@LesOReilly Oh ok. Really wanted to fix my lights. And my bad, I meant snippets. Not profiles. I followed your video and couldnt find your snippet so I thought that going back to a former version would help. Thank you again for your videos. Hope you have a great weekend.
What profiles are already online to get inspiration for spad next?
Don’t look for profiles. Profiles are a collection of one users hardware - these age going away soon anyway. Make a profile for the plane. Then download device snippets for the devices you own into your profile. If you have similar planes you “make new profile from” the profile you want to base it on. In the future it will have inheritance where you can have a top level profile and then make child profiles for things that need to be different per plane.
Is there a way to control the tds via an ipad? Ive downloaded Spacedesk, per recommendation from somewhere else, and while it allows me to see the display, I cant control the sim.
You need to put TDS in standalone mode (no longer will see it in the sim) and then you can run it outside of the sim in its on app and put that on the spacedesk screen.
@@LesOReilly ….okay. Thanks you. Where do you put it in standalone mode?
Make a blanket text file called Standalone.txt and put that in the C:\ProgramData\TDS\GTNXi\ folder.
@@LesOReilly …..sorry, this only created more questions for me. Lol. How do you make a blanket text file? Ive never heard of it.
@@jay-rus4437 blank file auto correct. I am trying to do all this while making dinner. Just search stand alone mode in the discord.
nice video... how do i activate this setup to spadnext?
There is a chapter that shows you how to download the online snippet for it.
thank you
Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment.
Will i be abke to use it for pmdg 777
MSFS | SPAD.neXt | v0.9.17.4 + | TCA Captain Pack PMDG 777 Setup ua-cam.com/video/fdPZXpWN_zk/v-deo.html see that video.
@@LesOReilly is there a way to do it without spad
I only use spad so I have no idea what features do or do not work with standard bindings.
@@LesOReilly ok
Now I know why there's purchasable premium profiles available...this is a ton of work for programming functions for complex aircraft like the 737
Well many people are nice enough to publish their devices as snippets For other to build from.
Going to try this tonight... you might have single handedly solved every issue I have with this mix of a/c and hardware.
I still like this plane .. it has gotten better with updates
Man, it's great watching your tutorials and learning so much, even when you are working with completely different hardware, because you provide ideas that can be applied across multiple devices. I've learned so much and found different and better ways to achieve things than how I initially set them up. Things like the yaw damper tip, trim using Buttonmode: repeat (instead of button held), etc. I'm currently configuring the awesome FSW Lear 35A with all of my gear, which includes the TQ6+ throttle quadrant. Using your videos, I have the TRs working perfectly! Going from idle into reverse (REV) without using a separate button, is such a treat. Thank you so much! 😊
Glad to see you are learning to Fish from it!!!
@@LesOReilly Absolutely! I haven't flown anything in a few years, but thank God we have the simulators and some incredible paywarre aircraft to fill the void 😀
BTW, I just realized that "button held" is the same as buttonmode repeat in an older version, lol. Love Spad :)
Excellent video Les, Thank you! where would i be able to find your uploaded profiles. I'm having a nightmare trying to create a AP Panel for the CJ Simulations Typhoon?
I don't have that plane .. maybe search the online snippets for any device that has AP control for the Typhoon and then look at what is programmed for it
Better yet just upload SB before starting FS it’s there.
Because people asked for doing it while already in the sim.
Ahhh Gotcha. Do you know how to create a Beta Prop zone on Honeycomb? I usually do it by Mouse in game.
@@scootermason2746 I use spad next for all my controls.
Hi, just wanted to say thanks a ton for the videos on SPAD, it works perfectly with my PMDG/Airbus TCA combo with the exception of the reverse thrust. I cannot get it to engage at all. I'm using your snippet and the numbers look identical to what you have here, but they just will not engage. Any suggestions?
Are you doing it with the plane running? Needs to be powered up does not really work while power is off.
@@LesOReilly Yes, I've tested it siting at a runway fully powered up. Everything looks correct in all the settings in Spad and I calibrated the throttles per the Thrustmaster instructions. EDIT: I figured it out, I needed to enable Virtual buttons within the Thrustmaster settings. It wasn't recognizing the Reverser detents as buttons. A little fine tuning on the calibration and it works great now!
@@TheBeardedGentleman cool I just jumped in and tried it again and it works for me :)
Hi @LesOReilly - I just purchased SPAD and used your snippets, but one thing bothers me. I was provided the very latest v0.9.17 and this does not have this nice UI. Any ideas why this could be?
Make sure the switch is in PC mode not XBOX and check again. Seems like there was a new revision of hardware recently and the dev pushed new configuration data (not a new version of Spad just data that loads on startup.
