tnx Thomas for taking the time

I did downloaded and installed the new Linda C172 Version.
But did not see any changes in switches, still, flipping up the Battery Switch trigger the #1 assignment but flipping down to Off position does nothing.
About the scrip you posted, well, it is like Chines -Mandarin to me .... I guess I was looking on my Linda TXT file and there is nothing there, I guess I'll have to bear to the mouse to get it On and off

Hi..i am a new user here. In my case only the Gyro sound would switch off when I turn the battery and master off.This has been happening from I installed the software. Even if I click the switch with my mouse, bypassing my hardware; the Gyro sound keeps going.I have also observed that the fuel gauges and oil temperature gauge, and landing lights remain powered also.

Hi - welcome to the forums!

Do you have FSUIPC installed? If so the "extended battery life" feature could be the culprit. This should be unticked for the A2A aircraft. Also, as a new poster just a check that you've installed the Accu-Sim update from here?

If the problem persists, I'd recommend starting a new thread for troubleshooting.

Cheers,
Nick

The old SPAD is long gone, there is a new SPAD.neXt, is there away for someone to set and post the Battery/Gen using the new SPAD

Tnx

Hello to All

new user of the A2A C172 on P3D version 3, I encountered the very problem of the Saitek switches panel not working as expected.
I'm a cockpit builder so I plan on using the saitek panels only with the cockpit external view (no switches visibles)

I went to this thread on Saitek panels only to discover that the images of the first post had disapeared, which is odd, beacause all the settings needed for the configurator and SPAD are on these images....
I'm still using SPAD (not SPAD .Next!), would you mind in uploading the proper "HOWTO" images again?

Thanks

jacques

Hello,

as yair1956 mentioned the old spad is long gone now, replaced by Spad Next. You will want to update for compatibility

thanks,

Hi

SPAD is still alive and kicking, but the development stopped a while ago. As mentioned SPAD.next is the new version, but it is pay ware. I’m on FSX, but I may still be able to help you, I’ll have a look later when I get home to my PC.

Set up the C172 Input Configurator like this:

Set up SPAD buttons like this:

It's also a good idea to create separate profile in SPAD just for our C172.

Could someone pls repost these disabled images?

If you'd like to attach images to your post akmatov, please follow the advice here of using a third-party file hosting service. As is commonplace, hosting of images/videos on A2A's own server via the forum is disabled.

Thanks,

Hi, I'm also a new user and have been looking for this answer to getting SPAD set up correctly - any pointers to this solution would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

best bet would be to start a new thread with your exact situation so the community can help you out.

thanks,
Lewis

I already had the saitek plugin installed for V4.5 so I just copied over the exe.dll file from roaming V4.5 into roaming V5. All of my switches, FIPs, radio, autopilot, etc work perfectly now.

I am unable to see these very important images to help set up saitek panels,
can someone help with the requirement?

Did you install SPAD? I believe that SPAD is no longer being developed, so SPAD-next may be a better option: https://www.spadnext.com/home.html
Do you use FSX or P3D?
