One driver for almost any simulation hardware

SPAD.neXt is interfacing software for flight simulation panels (e.g. Saitek) and other hardware. While most manufacturers provide drivers for their hardware, these have several shortcomings — notably a lack of configurability and flexibility. SPAD.neXt closes this gap and lets you use your panels not only with flight simulation software, but with literally any program.

Simulations supported by the FSX/Prepar3D edition: FSX, FSX: Steam Edition, P3D v2.5, P3D v3. SimConnect is required for PMDG, A2A, Q400 and FIP support; FSUIPC + FSConnect is required for Wilco support.

Simulations supported by the X-Plane edition: X-Plane 10 / 11.

SPAD.neXt requires a 64-bit OS.

To operate SPAD.neXt you need a license key. Before buying a license you can fully test SPAD.neXt without any limitation for 14 days.

Note: during activation, your license is hardware-locked to the computer you activate it from. If you need to move the license to another computer, or make hardware changes, you must invalidate your license before you can activate it again.
