I knew there was a reason, thats why i never follow that, i use what suits me best, and that is Spad.Next and it works perfect. :)Martyson wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 4:30 pmI see here you had a SPAD problem when you went from P3Dv3 to P3Dv4.Geir Haukland wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 3:50 pmNope, and i dont have v5 and i dont have the computer power to run it either.

The problem is, as I see it, an unapproved product has to be purchased (not by me!) :
With a ton of user configurations PC, software, hardware, usb hubs etc out there who does the purchaser contact if he/she has problems?
Have you contacted SPAD and verified if they are working on an approved product for P3Dv5?
I use it for my v4.x and works fine, and i am happy with that, if you are trying to tip me off, you wont make it, not this time. Have a nice day. E.O.D.

When you go to P3Dv5 it is best to only use products approved and tested for P3Dv5.

Re: Saitek Pro flight panels & P3Dv5
Thank you Geir for your tip
I will wait when spad.next will be confirmed, that it is working with v5. Anyway I'm more dissapointed with P3Dv5, beside this panels problems I'm having more others (with aircraft add-on, crashing app) . I see similar problems as other people here, I understand that this is initial release and desperately waiting for patch.

Re: Saitek Pro flight panels & P3Dv5
Use SPADnext. No issue here with any kind of Panel for P3Dv4 and v5.

Re: Saitek Pro flight panels & P3Dv5
I do not use SPAD Next. So I have a few questions.
Is Spad Next a payware Add-on for P3Dv5?
Does it come with an updated manual for installation in P3Dv5?
Does SPAD Next get updated by the developer for new versions of P3D?
Does SPAD Next have a user Support forum ?
Does Saitek recommend SPAD Next to be used with their products?

Re: Saitek Pro flight panels & P3Dv5
Saitek/Logitech has old drivers. Its not LM issue but Logitech.
See this topic: https://www.spadnext.com/forum/viewtopi ... =5&t=50767
and this https://www.spadnext.com/home.html .
Its a free software but in basic option only. For more options and working FiPs - payware only but I recommend it a lot.
You can use all functions, even on A2A or PMDG models. Till now manuall install to P3Dv5 but it works without issue.

if were able to use the same aircraft we use now it should work with pd3 v5 i dont think Pd3 will change muc h on that aspect
This was a question about the sim being supported in SPAD not v4 aircraft working in v5 :-)
I’m not planning on going v5 till SPAD confirms compatibility......
Daz"
"I’m not planning on going v5 till SPAD confirms compatibility......"
So, as I read it , SPAD has not supported P3Dv5 yet or still being tested.
That is the forum where SPAD questions should be directed to.
Actually I had several questions, originally:
Is Spad Next a payware Add-on for P3Dv5? Yes
Does it come with an updated manual for installation in P3Dv5?
Does SPAD Next get updated by the developer for new versions of P3D? Yes, per forum question , reply
Does SPAD Next have a user Support forum ? Yes, per the link
Does Saitek recommend SPAD Next to be used with their products?

Re: Saitek Pro flight panels & P3Dv5
I dont need to purchase v5 yet due to low power in my setup. When i upgrade, i will get v5, then you will have your report. As for now, it works perfect in anyway for me and for others, that alone should be enough for you...Martyson wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 7:04 amHave you purchase P3Dv5 and tested SPAD in your setup?Geir Haukland wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 12:41 amDont say i told ya so, it would work just fine, but thats okay.

Developers give the final ok when to use their product(s) with a new version of the sim. Not forum pilots.
For example, Orbx has listed which of it product can be used. If you have a product that is not on the approved list you cannot install it and get support. Other developers like e.g. PMDG and VRS (F18) have the same policy to wait for approval before installing their products.
I wait for developers to approve the Add-ons I have before installing them.

Re: Saitek Pro flight panels & P3Dv5
So...Here is a detailed description of how I made them work.
First you must download and run the Prepar3d V4, 64 bit drivers for Saitek/Logitech panels from their web
site. it will create the file "LogiPrepar3D.exe" in the folder:
C:\Program Files\Logitech\Prepar3D V4 Plugin\LogiPrepar3D.exe
Verify that the file is there before proceeding.
If you already have Panels working in Prepar3d V4:
You will need to get Prepar3d V5 to launch the above LogiPrepar3D.exe file during startup the way Prepar3d v4 does. To do this you need to copy the exe.xml file that Prepar3d V4 uses to launch the Logitech panels from its current location to the analogous Prepar3d V5 directory. You can then delete out any extraneous commands present (other addons, etc. that do not apply to Prepqaar3d v5, and safe the file. Then simply run Prepar3d V5 and the panels will now be recognized. The locations for the relevant Prepar3d V4 and Prepar3d V5 exe.xml files are :
**** WARNING: CREATE A BACKUP of the exe.xml file before editing it (exe.xml.bak is a good name). ****
C:\users\{your Name}\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v4 (prepar3d v4exe.xml file is located here)
C:\users\{your Name}\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v5 (copy the prepar3d v4 exe.xml file to here)
You need to make sure that the following commands remain after deleting the unwanted stuff.:
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Logitech Plugin for Prepar3D</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Path>C:\Program Files\Logitech\Prepar3D V4 Plugin\LogiPrepar3D.exe</Path>
<CommandLine>-run</CommandLine>
</Launch.Addon>
On fresh install where you have no previous version of exe.xml to work from, you will need to just create one yourself from scratch and place it into the C:\users\{your Name}\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v5 folder. Create a text file using Windows Notepad consisting of the following text and save it as exe.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

Re: Saitek Pro flight panels & P3Dv5
I have such a problem. When flying P3D V4, I use Saitek Instrument panel. Everything is normal, but after upgrading to p3dv5, the panel can't be used. How can I solve this problem?
