This SPAD.neXt profile is designed for Logitech/Saitek panels, including multi, switch, and radio panels, to make them compatible with the Fenix A320. If you come across any bugs, mistakes, or have suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me!
This profile requires a SimConnect connection and LVAR Bridge to be installed.
It is essential to set a multi panel pollrate to 0. You can change it in settings > devices > multipanel (image)
Installation:
Put "Fenix A320 Logitech Panels (current version) by Pollot.xml" into your SPAD.neXt profiles folder.
[Default location: C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\SPAD.neXt\profiles]
Limitations:
- Multi panel displays don't work
- Nav frequency doesn't change in MCDU (can still be used as a DME)
- ADF doesn't work
- Multi panel LEDs are sometimes sketchy
This is version 1.0, let me know if you find any issues.

Navigation frequency doesn't change in the MCDU, you can use it as a DME tho
ADF tab shows ADF1 and ADF2 at the same time (ADF1 on the left and ADF2 on the right), but it doesn't work at the moment
DME shows a distance from NAV1 on the left side and the NAV2 on the right side
In the XPDR tab, you can change your QNH using the outer knob, and squawk using the inner (press the transfer button to change between squawk numbers)
Holding the transfer button in the XPDR tab for longer than one second will set QNH to a standard value
Transponder updates only after scrolling digital mark to the first digit (try it out to understand how it works)

I haven't flown Fenix for at least two months. There were significant updates released in the meantime, so I would need to investigate these issues further.

Good job. For now, when the profile I found was working - it's a pity that there is no value on the screen, at least for me (Multipanel)

Thanks for your work on this. I am just using the radio stack at the moment, but noticed a strange bug whereby when setting the SQUAWK code to 2200 (often used in VATSIM) it defaults to 2020 in the Fenix. Other code combinations seem to update correctly, although not tried every possible combination obviously.

Thanks for this! Been using your profiles for FBW for a while! Doing gods work man! Any chance the displays will work in the future? Also, anyway to make the short press managed mode for altitude, and long press descent mode?
2 years ago
I will make displays work as soon as Fenix will release an update that will make it possible. Also, I'm going to update buttons' functionality, including the ALT one.
