Hi guys,
I tried to get all switches work with spad,
deleted original Saitek driver.

Ok, fine, BAT and ALT Switches now working but all the others won't do as expected.
Pitch trim isn't working, flaps do not work as expected.
until this Plane I had absolutely NO Problems with the Panels!
I'm using switchpanel, multipanel and radiopanel.

So what can I do?
thanks...

hmm...
my last post disappears?

So again:
I purchased the C172 Trainer and have very big Problems with my saitek Panels, that I didn't have with any other plane yet.
I'm using the Switch Panel, Multipanel and radiopanel.
I Installed and configured spad for BAT and ALT Switch with success but all other Switches are not working correctly sometimes.
Trim-wheel isn't working at all and flaps are only switched between 10 and 20 degrees. 0 and 30 degrees are not possible.
In the A2A-configurator most Switches and functions could not be set up, so what can I do?

thanks
Tele

No support?? A2A have the best support I've ever experienced when it comes to helping with a problem on their software,

hmm, I agree with you that you didn't have much support for your problem here, but for me it sounds like the panels are the problem, not the A2A product.
Please let me know what platform you are using? I have the saitek panels as well and I don't have any problems with any of my A2A aircraft. I use a mix of registered FSUIPC, Spad v0.5.1 and LINDA on FSX

I'll be more than happy to send some screenshots of my settings

A happy A2A customer
Kind Regards
Tomas

Hello,

sorry I missed your post. If you are experiencing issues please post a new thread with your exact issues. Please remember issues in this area are the fault of the hardware and third party software such as Spad.Next is recommended not just by us but also by Saitek to work correctly with many third party simulations.

thanks,

+1 for this. I also noticed flaps up skips 20degrees but flaps down hits each level correctly

Yes, no problem. Go have a look after the A2A C172 LINDA module, download this, save it in the correct place( can't remember where) open Linda, and get on with it. Of course you'll need a registered FSUIPC for it to working

here is the newest version of the "official" C172R module:

I must admit I still use 102....better look into that...LOL
