# Virtual Devices

SPAD.neXt offers some virtual devices, which can be opened in a web browser.\
Those devices behave exactly like the physical devices, just that you have to "press" buttons using the mouse or touchpad.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Virtual Devices is an extended feature and separately licensed. Either the complete edition of SPAD.neXt or the vFIP Addon is needed.
{% endhint %}

[vFIP - virtual FIP](/features/virtual-devices/vfip.md)

The vFIP is a virtual Flight Instrument Panel, which behaves exactly as the hardware device. You can detach it from SPAD.neXt and move it freely around.

[vDeck - virtual Streamdeck](/features/virtual-devices/vdeck.md)

The vDeck is a virtual image button device, just like e.g. an Elgate STreamdeck or Loupedeck.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.spadnext.com/features/virtual-devices.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
