FPA knob control using SPAD

[elcapitan]

Is there a way to use SPAD and my Saitek panel to control the FPA knob? maybe using LVARS?

Did you happen to resolve this?  I am also struggling with the VS speed function.  Assigning it to FSUIPC seems not to work all too well.

VS can be done with both LVAR and Setup application via keyborad, however FPA was on none of them, that's quite incovnent

If the controls you wish to use are recognised by FSUIPC, then it is very easy. Just create mouse macros for the FPA and Vertical Speed functions and assign them to the controls. All the instructions are in the FSUIPC documentation.

+1 for this - it's what I ended up doing. I have a fairly unholy mixture of key binds via the FeelThere config app, mouse macros, and a few LVARS to get the jet working with my MCP, switch panel etc. There's a huge set of LVARS for the E-Jets - I could probably switch a lot of my key bindings to LVAR control, and I might well do so in future. Setting an LVAR from Spad.NeXt is easy - but it's easy from FSUIPC too. This is actually one of the more cockpit-builder friendly aircraft I have in my hangar.
