**I'm putting this in the GPS/AP+ thread because it addresses how to get these panels working with FSW**
Well, the long anticipated DTG FSW is out. First impressions are good, the aircraft are beautiful, and the flight model is well improved. Scenery is improved as well, but frame rate in full screen leaves something to be desired Weather effects are great.
The downside, NO FSUIPC SUPPORT.
FSW uses SimConnect to interface. So even the Saitek Switch/Radio panels don't currently (this is early access release) work out of the box.
Enter, SPAD.Next
Now, I haven't had a ton of time to test it out, but SPAD.Next seems to be a good substitute for FSUIPC and LINDA. (Still have to find out if I can assign shift functions to the rotary encoders, but at least I am able to assign them a function.)
It is something like $25 USD, but seems to solve the problem a lack of FSUIPC poses. I'm still on the free trial, so I will update with any new info I find out.
