Hi John, nice to see you back flying.
I did indeed use Spad and Spad Next but with MSFS you don’t really need it.
MSFS seems to run all my hardware quite smoothly. So try it without Spad first.
You may have to remap some, if not all your controls but that’s no big deal.
Good luck in getting MSFS running for you, you won’t regret it. ATB
