WinWing Airbus FCU In MSFS

[@liftedcj7on44s]

On the Airbus the push pull I alway's think of it as, Pulling it towards me gives me control, Pushing it away from me gives the plane control.

[@OverkillSimulations]

That's actually a really good tip!! Nice man!

[@JonOstrower]

@@OverkillSimulations That's how Airbus teaches it to real pilots!

[@SimFanatic]

Nicely done @OverKillSimulations. Mine from WINWING arrived today. Appreciate the video brother!

[@micheldaoust8830]

Got my preorder delivered today, this thing is awesome!

[@tubeslats]

I'm looking forward to a mounting solution for this along with 15.6'" touch panels (running air manager for other equipment/displays).

[@m_kuhlmann]

Check out cockpitcrafters

[@imgroot7035]

I have already pre-ordered. I can't wait to use it. I plan to purchase more components as soon as they become available. It would be great if we could buy other elements too, like overhead panel, MCDU, PFD etc. BTW great video 😁

[@brianharris1830]

1st..”Great meeting you and family at FS Expo”. I just received my unit also….hopefully they distribute the other units fmc etc soon. Thanks for all of the help!

[@yams900]

My order is placed ! Excellent review mate, thx ! Watching this tutorial saved both time and heaps of gray hair :)

[@locutusbn]

Hi. I just bought the panel but the 100/1000 altitude selector on the fbw A20N doesn't work for me, although the knob works fine. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[@My320Sim]

Put my preorder in yesterday, very excited to get their full glareshield for my sim setup!

[@daryldavis9744]

I’m a A320/321 Captain for a US Airline. (It’s Auto-Thrust not Throttle you’ll drive the Airbus people crazy 😂) For takeoff you will want to use either Flex/MCT or TOGA (not Climb)and reduce to Climb once you reach Thrust Reduction Altitude. Also you don’t need to manually push the Auto Thrust push button as it will arm automatically oncee take off as you see in your video down on the FMA’s.

[@OverkillSimulations]

Hey thanks for the information! I was aware but unfortunately as you can tell I've been cheating on you guys with team Boeing lately lol! It started coming back to me in the end. I even pushed the throttles to toga half way down the runway lol..ssshhhhh ;)

[@OverkillSimulations]

But I would love to do a full flight with you if that's something you'd be interested in teaching myself and the community on :)

[@daryldavis9744]

@@OverkillSimulations haha anytime. I hope you don’t mind. I don’t want to be “that guy” 😂. If you ever need any info on procedures or whatever, I’m happy to “help” 😂, or at least tell you how we do it at Frontier.

[@OverkillSimulations]

@daryldavis9744 definitely!! Join my Discord and say DM me!! That would be awesome!! And no I don't mind at all. There's this OverKill guy who calls me out in my videos all the time and boy he can be mean!! Guy needs to be knocked down a few pegs 😉

[@daryldavis9744]

@@OverkillSimulations sorry I saw this after I wrote you back. Sure I would be happy to help where ever I can.

[@sandman2495]

Flew the A320 for 8 years, and I enjoy flying the Fenix from time to time to get my Fix. I have the sim wings FCU and I’m pleased with its performance. Wish they would have included the dimming knobs underneath the FCU otherwise very happy.

[@acktu]

I would have liked to have seen more about how I can customize the buttons with the software. For example what does the "Setup" button do? Can I assign Lvars to them? How can I control how each LED is lit up? Can this be customized for other planes that are not Airbus? I don't see a way (from the interface) to customize what the LCD displays. What does the streaming mode do? These are questions I haven't been able to find answers. I can do whatever I want with my MiniFCU with Spad Next. So unless this can be done with WinWing FCU I don't see myself switching over.

[@AndyCYXU]

I ended up setting my winwings unit with fsuipc, I do not use/have spadnext, but their software (winwings) does leave a lot to be desired I have not been able to use it easily as the author here, now I play in VR so I suppose as long as knobs and switches work it's a-ok for me.. the software you see here, there really is nothing to it at this time to make any adjustments. I love the unit but if I played on monitor I would be very disappointed my displays do not work all lighted 100% like on test.. i am pretty confident they get it fixed up in time

[@acktu]

@@AndyCYXU Thanks for your report. I will cancel my order with WinWing as I don't see it replacing my minifcu at this time until I can control the displays and LEDs with SpadNext or Mobiflight.

[@yams900]

Great product ! I have modified it, so same functions work on Aerosoft CRJ ! I will test fly tomorrow...too late now. If all works, and I'm happy...then I'll configure for MD82/83/88 and PMDG 737 series. I have used Axis And Ohs, works great !

[@maguila7777]

HI and thank you for your video, unfortunately it is not working well for me, may I ask you to confirm you are running DX11 and when you go into MSFS controls, what do you see there? Because in my case it is all blank. Thanks

[@brin57]

Awesome and great value for money as well. If this thing can also sidestep into other aircraft, including GA as a generic AP controller and not just for the A320, it will be huge !!

[@JenniferinIllinois]

Options are definitely a good thing for all of us. I've pretty much committed to the MiniCockpit infrastructure (just hoping they do follow through with their plans). I like the smaller size (I have plenty of room, but also plenty of other hardware - hehehe). My only real negative with the MiniFCU is the lack of mounting options. I am going to end up trying to build a 'box' to house the Mini devices. Ooooo, didn't realize the price on the MiniFCU was that much (I got in on the Kickstarter and was one of the first 1000 so got it for $99). Hmm...

[@vickomf1]

has anyone ordered under the Global Shipping store to a Continental US address? Seems like it is in stock and they would ship directly from China. Continental US store says preorder, global shipping store says In Stock.

[@SimPilotRockster]

i cant wait to be able to buy this, I already preordered just waiting for that email to purchase it

[@Hughes2405]

Hi, Is it true, that the unit is only working with DX11? in this case, it would be totally useless to me, cause I need DX12 for DLSSG. 😞

[@OverkillSimulations]

For the moment. DX12 is in development as we speak

[@brianharris1830]

I use dx12 no problems

[@maurigolf.]

Got mine delivered yesterday, just awesome and working so well. Just one question, when not in use, when using the PC for other things, is there a way to switch it off, or is only possibble to unplug it in order not to have it on all the time?

[@seeum2098]

Did you figure it out?

[@erik21]

I want to buy one of this but before. I have one question does it work with the LVFR A330-900 and the with the LVFR A321 with the Horrizon mod ? BTW good videos

[@johnhinckley8213]

Did they give a timeline on when the EFIS will be released?

[@jamestieman]

1 to 1 scale. I didn't see that one coming. I hope I don't regret buying the other one for over twice the price.

[@OverkillSimulations]

It's definitely nice man... I really like it

[@astir0412]

You might The mini is about what I expect to be overcharged for a flight simulator hardware system. Winwing have broken the mould It's brilliant and I've had mine for two weeks

[@astir0412]

We get abused by hardware manufacturers Logitech included Double the price for a multi panel

[@seeum2098]

You done goofed

[@ZockerBudeVR]

ahhh lucky guy :-) im still waiting for the payment mail! this in combination with the flightsimfactory bravo a320 addon, wow... good times!

[@seeum2098]

Why is the total coming out to $209 for me ? I live in California

[@andy70d35]

Thank you, for this video, getting rather annoying that many KZbin channels have videos on this FCU, but we can't buy it yet. Have reordered, but no idea when it will be on sale.

[@markcoyle5508]

There is a usb port and power port on the back of the unit but they only supply the usb cable is the usb cable sufficient if its plugged into a powered hub? Thanks for the vid

[@dannyrawson4066]

Is it Just for pc or for Xbox too?

[@markgr1nyer]

I wish they left out the blank space for the expedite button. Just highlights something is missing

[@tubeslats]

Functions as expedite button.

[@andy70d35]

Not missing, modelled on newer Airbus A320, look at other videos and you will see.

[@Ipb79]

@Overkillsimulation Thank you for this presentation, that was very well presented. Any idea when they will start sending payment emails?

[@ronaldjames]

They already have. I got mine yesterday and my shipment details

[@michaellee9956]

Will this work on the A350 and A380 on MSFS 2020?

[@christopherwalker283]

Nice presentation .......for some reason most of the data on the screen is fuzzy and not sharp enough to see the actual fields you make reference to. Pity as this looks interesting.

[@OverkillSimulations]

Damn I'm sorry.. I promise they're one to one. Should have zoomed in

[@fliqzedgar]

So does it work with the FBW experimental version? Or only the stable?

[@OverkillSimulations]

Mostly with development but the displays wouldn't populate but all the buttons etc worked Stable everything worked

[@alwatt9367]

I have pre ordered a few weeks ago....Can it easily fit on a Alpha or Bravo?

[@AndyCYXU]

did you have to install vJoy, I have nothing but problems it just does not work, anyways great video.. I got it working via FSUIPC to be able to at least use it but yeah.. hoping for some updates to the software, I use it in VR so as long as the knobs and buttons work I am a happy camper.. it would be great if I had it working as intended but yeah

[@JobuRum]

Any idea if it will work for Boeing aircraft?

[@cakesinspace3194]

only thing is the expedite!! why cant they just add that one little button!! great review though! im gonna get this for my birthday!

[@reggiefowler2700]

I don't have a cockpit like you guys, so would this work with desk simmers that enjoy the game?

@@BEAGLEBOSS 100% correct.

Hello! Are you able to map the blank button to anything like FD or LS or is that button not functional?

Yes but the black button is actually the expedite button by default

[@astir0412]

No they are on the next module

[@sixx_xlr2]

doesnt have to be a 1 to 1 ig scale but a throttle and stick with this quality would be great

[@sankar112233]

I got it today but a little confused both type C connect on the back. Which one I should use. Use one single port or both???

[@OverkillSimulations]

Just usb

[@CryREED]

Great video mate! I YES finally answer if I can use my ordered with SPAD or not so that great news! Have the miniFCU now with SPAD, I only fly in VR so in Fenix I have mapped all with the knobs animate etc... much more immersion in VR to see all animated then I turn/ push one the miniFCU so looking forward to do the same for the winwing, they should have added the 2 light dim knobs blow the FCU to control the lights.. would be killer immersion in VR instead use the mouse or key bind other hardware (witch I have) but better have it in the same place as the real deal ;)

[@yams900]

All good mate, shame your hand covers a lot of things I'd like to see. Looking forward to your next video in this series

why exactly do I need to unplug my other hardware, is this written somewhere by Winwing? it's quite unconfortable, because everything is pluged into my PC and there is alot of stuff.

It is for firmware update, not difficult to understand.

[@OverkillSimulations]

I'm sorry!! Lol

[@knightshadow1894]

Good morning, OverKill, thank you for your review of this product. Very Impressive, however I'm a Boeing user and not that great with software. That mean I'm not interested in remapping and learn SPAD. I'd prefer to plug and play. So, if and when the create the same system for 737/777 I'm all in. Once again thank you for taking the time to educate on this product. Keep the vids coming. Have a great day.

[@katerinavrbovcova4532]

What the hell is a hub Edit: Is that just the USB port on the mobo

[@cgtrout]

A USB hub is a device that plugs into one USB port and splits it into many ports. All they are saying is to plug it directly into the MB when doing things such as updating the firmware.

[@astir0412]

A USB hub.. Look it up

[@katerinavrbovcova4532]

@cgtrout Thank you

[@pedrojulio5889]

Your left hand....looks like you smoke alot. PLEASE consider! IT WILL catch up and is NOT WORTH IT.

[@TrueBlade-1889]

Why is nobody doing these for Boeings ? A brown and Grey interchangeable facia would allow one to be used for the 737 and 777. And they're too cheap. At 200 bucks it would sell and be much better quality.

[@SimPilotRockster]

40 seconds ago, first again lol
