Updated firmware to allow SPAD.next to control the Audio Panel LEDs?

[Malaromane]

Loving my G1000 suite that I took delivery of last month. Curious to know if there's any chance of a firmware upgrade for the Audio Panel to allow third-party software (e.g. SPAD.next or Mobiflight) to control the LEDs on the panel? I've got my AP working with SPAD but, of course, I can't enable/disable the indicator lights.

I assume that the lack of response is a "No".

We are not sure how SPAD or Mobiflight controls the output, however we reached out to Sebastian from Mobiflight to see what the process should be for this. It's probably similar for SPAD.NEXT

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your efforts on trying to find a solution.

I would love for this to happen. The triangle witness light won't com on even using the FSBuilder WASM either in FS2020. I use spad.next for 99% of my flight controls. I know the witness lights work, they all light up in the test mode or after changing the button brightness. But there is no way to access them as far as I can tell.

Since i have received no response, I guess I might need to purchase the Realsimgear version of the audio panel and sell my FSBuilder audio panel. Why no response????????

I would also love to see this happen. Mostly because the FSB Launcher stopped working with the Audio Panel. There are lots of AP buttons that the launcher is mapping to both AP and PFD functions for some reason. It makes using the AP impossible.

Hi, did you try updating FW for AP? If still issues, please contact support with the details to get it sorted out https://flightsimbuilder.com/pages/flightsimbuilder-firmware-update

The AP designed to work with the Hub. If you experience any issues with the AP with the Hub, simply reach out to support to get it sorted out. You can also try updating FW for AP first https://flightsimbuilder.com/pages/flightsimbuilder-firmware-update . SPAD or any other third party software would need to implement specific protocols to be able to control LED indication lights. Mobiflight does have this in the plans sometimes in the future

FW was good. I responded via email on 11/12 with the problem and solution I worked out.

Thanks for asking.
