WINWING A320 MCDU Review: Unboxing & VATSIM Full Flight Test

[@flightstreamer]

Thank you all for the amazing comments and questions! I really appreciate the support and feedback. 🙏 I’m currently working on a similar video for the Boeing version of the CDU, WINWING PFP-3N, designed for the 737, and I’d love to know if there’s anything specific you’d like me to cover in the next review that I might have missed here. Let me know in the replies - your input helps me make better content!

[@Deadmode]

I am specifically interested to know if the PFP-3N can work for the 777 too. I would like to know if you can map the buttons to work on the 777 or if you will need the PFP 7 itself. Thanks.

[@flightstreamer]

@@Deadmode great question! Will try it out, but I think screen integration might not work, but it could be possible to map the buttons (in theory).

[@Shai_aviation]

Looks Great! Thank you for the video

[@flightstreamer]

Glad you enjoyed it! :) Let me know if there’s any further questions

[@OWLZzFs.]

Great Review!

[@flightstreamer]

Thanks so much! And thanks for your help troubleshooting PFP 3N

[@cozytechtalk]

couldn't describe it better,great video..i love it❤ maybe one day when i will upgrade from the xbox to a pc for sure i will get one🎉

[@flightstreamer]

So glad you liked the video! Thanks for tuning in to that live stream :) it was a fun approach 😂

[@cozytechtalk]

@@flightstreamer ohh boy indeed it was....intense and fun...thank allways for the passion you put into it!!

[@flightstreamer]

@@cozytechtalk haha I did manage to screw up that go around for a bit.. and Eugene did find a lot of 0/10s :))))

[@dlh716]

Great video! Do you have any information on compatibility with the FSLabs A321?

[@flightstreamer]

Haven’t had a chance to test yet! Will get back to you :)

[@paulwain4248]

Great video - cant wait for the 17th... Is the desk mount prodivded by winwing or is that something you brought elsewhere? Would prefer it attatched to desk like yours.

[@flightstreamer]

Desk mount is provided by Winwing, however, that’s an extra accessory, purchased separately. But given how low the pricing is… this is absolutely mindblowing.

[@paulwain4248]

@ thank you appreciate your response. Will look out for it on launch 🚀

[@flightstreamer]

@@paulwain4248 Anytime! It was a huge surprise to see how good it was .. I am impressed and looking forward to 2025

[@tj0cktj0ck]

Nice review. I'm interested in this if there is 0% performance loss. Are you sure you don't loose any fps when you are using this? Thanks

[@flightstreamer]

0% Performance loss! it uses API calls directly, so no GPU stress at all. I am amazed how the did it, as there is zero lag.

[@tj0cktj0ck]

@ wow ok thanks a lot for answering,

[@flightstreamer]

@@tj0cktj0ck anytime! :)

[@VictorOtte]

Great video! And thank you for sharing. Is it possible to test it with Xplane aircraft such as the Toliss a32X series? I can’t find anything about it working out of the box, without applications such as Mobiflight.

[@flightstreamer]

Thanks Viktor!! Unfortunately I don't have X-Plane or Toliss A32X :( Hopefully someone can test this.. only 2020 here :) And it's Fenix that worked for me thus far.

[@VictorOtte]

@@flightstreamer Ahh thank you though! Keep up the good work. Love your content :)

[@flightstreamer]

@@VictorOtte thanks so much! :)

[@JacksonTetley]

Do all of the winwing variants come out on the 17th or is it just the MCDU for the airbus?

[@flightstreamer]

All variants :)

[@Jillaroo79]

Does this work with the Inibuilds airbuses and the FBW airbuses? Some other reviews suggested it only works with the Fenix 320.

[@Xenthera]

It’s not even released yet. It’ll work on everything just like the efis/fcu does. At the very least it’ll get updates to work.

[@flightstreamer]

Hello Jill, I just tested. FBW is not supported yet. As @Xenthera mentioned, the updates will come.

[@captainhawkgaminguk]

How do you get the second officer to select your switches

[@flightstreamer]

This is done via Fs2Crew Animated F/O addon

[@MrVampireBill]

Does it work with the default inibuilds?

[@flightstreamer]

Just tested - it does not :( At least, not yet. I've updated to latest .19 . Winwing team is actively working on ensure the full support.

[@MrVampireBill]

@ thank you so much for checking. Hopefully ready by the time they actually start shipping. If the EFIS are an indication then they’ll be in our hands in 2 months so plenty of time.

[@flightstreamer]

@@MrVampireBill You are very welcome! :) I hope the shipping will be faster. I anticipate that Winwing folks would provide a good supply to satisfy the demands.

[@kamilnvk6575]

Thanks for sharing! Does it work with Boeing somehow? Cause I can't imagine spending 1000€ on 4 of these. Obviously Id love to have 4 different pieces.

[@flightstreamer]

PFP 3N version does. And that review is coming next :) Make sure to tune in to my live stream on Wednesday - I will showcase it live on PMDG 737-800

[@kamilnvk6575]

@@flightstreamer im sure that PFP 3 does since its designed for Boeing. Im asking if you tried MCDU connect with any Boeing :)

[@flightstreamer]

@@kamilnvk6575 it wouldn't work, due to button layout though :)

[@kamilnvk6575]

@@flightstreamer ......so...Mobiflight, Spad next, aaaand then maaaaybe maaayybeee. Fingers crossed everyone! :)

[@antarctix4532]

@@kamilnvk6575hmm, I think it’s a direct API integration. You can map the buttons, but display working - highly unlikely.

[@rezaomar3397]

does it work with the inibuilds a320 and or a330/a321 LR??

[@flightstreamer]

great question! All Fenix aircraft work. I will test inibuilds and and A330 from Headwind. Will let you know!

[@rezaomar3397]

@ thanks!!!

[@flightstreamer]

@@rezaomar3397 Looks like Fenix is the only one that works for me. But Winwing is working hard to update SimAppPro. Since product isn't launched yet, it's expected.

[@Petercrossed]

I'm hoping the first hour it's available that it will ship fast. Can't wait.
