Just now I attempted to loadfirst Mobiflight and then SPAD - when I did, SPAD notified me that X-Touch Mini was in use by MF. When I reversed the order of loading, SPAD first and then MF, MF notified me that X-Touch was not available because it was being used by SPAD! I have used them together for a while but after an update to MF, it seems that the two programs do not play nicely in the sandbox anymore!
Please, I need your help!
#Mobiflight Conflict with SPAD.neXt

Mobiflight supports MIDI devices now. MIDI devices can only be controlled by one thing at a time. You need to decide if you'll be using SPAD or MobiFlight for your x-touch mini.
We have a change in the works to disable MIDI in MobiFlight if you want to keep using SPAD.next, but that's not released yet.
Your options until then:
- Migrate the x-touch mini settings over to MobiFlight and stop using SPAD.next
- Continue using version 9.7.1 of mobiflight until we release the midi disable feature

Hello: Does it matter that I am only using the MF Connect?
warm fjord
I don't understand the question
zealous osprey
OK. I am using MF Connect with the Octavi G1000 cockpit - not with the X-Touch. I control the aircraft with SPAD and the X-Touch. Does that mean they won't conflict?
warm fjord
.if you don't care about MobiFlight using the x touch then make sure to run spad first and you can ignore the warning from MobiFlight
Your Octavi should still be fine

THANK YOU - I had visions of my entire cockpit arrangement going down the tube!
warm fjord
Should be fine if you run spad first. Let me know if it isn't
zealous osprey
Thank you again - I'll be sure and order my execution!
I guess on reading that doesn't sound very good - I am not facing execution!!

@warm fjord I see there is a new version - Does this one fix the problem we were discussing?

Yes

Great. I didn't want to install it only to have to uninstall and reinstall 9.7. Thanks so much for your help!
@warm fjord Unfortunately it didn't work! I loaded MF first, then SPAD and SPAD indicated it couldn't connect to the X-Touch. So, it's back to 9.7!

Did you go into settings and disable access to the xtouch in the new UI?
zealous osprey
No - I didn't know I had to. Do I unclick "Enable MIDI support" or just X-Touch Mini or both
warm fjord
depends on what you want to do. do you want to disable midi entirely in mobiflight? or just not use the xtouch mini?
zealous osprey
Oh - no I am using the IFR-1 so I guess I just uncheck the X-Touch Mini?
warm fjord
Yes, that's what I would do
zealous osprey
Yes - now SPAD, X-Touch Mini, and the IFR-1 work. Thank you again!
