WINWING FCU | Firmware & Software Setup | Hardware Setup & Unboxing | MSFS/X-Plane/DCS | Brackets

[@SimFanatic]

I can confirm, the WINWING FCU1 works through a powered USB hub (no need to hook it directly to your motherboard/computer). However, I advise to hook it to your computer directly when doing firmware updates. Cheers and Blue Skies my friends!!

Will the fcu work in msfs 2024?

[@SimFanatic]

@@__.Pavkata.__ Yes, I'm sure WINWING will be sure it is compatible with MSFS 2024. Cheers!

@@SimFanatic thanks :)

Great video. I could see adding one of those to the sim. Does this mean we'll be flying more airbuses in the future? Because I have about 27 different flavors of airbus in the hangar. LOL.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yes, we need more Airbuis in the sim. :)

Hello. I followed your instructions on how to download the drivers to the FCU but it’s still not working. I tested it and I see the codes on the side like in your video but when I jump into the A320 neo and the V2 it doesn’t seem to work still. What am I doing wrong?

[@danielemelis5526]

Thank you for this great video. I just installed it. I was worried about the empty profile on FS2020 (instead it is normal for it to be that way), and nothing worked. Then, in desperation, I rebooted the PC and magically everything works! It's just amazing!!!

[@SimFanatic]

Hi there danielemelis, glad the video helped and that you are liking the WINWING FCU. It's great isn't it? Blue Skies my friend!!

Keep the videos coming, i'm very much looking forward to checking out what else WinWing brings to market. Thanks Sim.

[@SimFanatic]

Will do AFS, thanks! Yes, WINWING has great products at a super affordable price. Got to love it my friend!

[@briancrawley8440]

Preordered one of these. Estimated date was 17 September, heard nothing so far. Looking forward to getting it though. Thanks for the video.

I actually put the stands in just about the center, put the sticky pads u see them (4 of them I used) and I placed it on top of my bravo. Sits nicely just over the top buttons on it and It’s not in the way. Actually works out nice for me. I tried the sides but I also place keyboard on top of my alpha yoke and it just was in the way on the sides. Plus it gives me room for the EFIS when it comes.

ok so 4 knobs and 4 buttons, I dont get it.

[@SimRaceFly80]

So you never mentioned if you tested it and it worked plugged into a usb hub. Mine was delivered today so I will be setting it up tonight when I get home from work.

[@SimFanatic]

Yep, sorry, I still need to test that. I will test and post in the comments. Cheers!

[@SimFanatic]

Hey @SimRaceFly80, confirmed, it does work when hooked up to a powered USB hub. However, when doing any firmware updates, I recommend hooking it up to your PC directly. Cheers!

[@SimFanatic]

Sorry for the delayed reply. Are you running the WINWING app before launching MSFS?

[@Bat24SS]

Awesome video Sim. Thanks for showing this. The blank button should read "EXPED". Not sure why they don't have it. And those are washers, not nuts.

[@SimFanatic]

You bet Bats. You are correct on the EXPED for the blank button. I noticed that after loading in and testing it with the Fenix. Cheers!

[@lolzlolz69]

The EXPED button is blanked off on some real aircraft so I suspect they modeled it after those.

Just unboxed it a few min ago and will follow this how-to video. Thanks!

@@SimFanatic I put the two brackets in a different orientation, bought new 4mm screws and mounted it on top of a Honeycomb Bravo Throttle quadrant. It stays in place when pushing or pulling on the buttons. Love it!

[@SimFanatic]

@@ZL8103 Great idea! I actually thought about mounting it on top of my Bravo Throttle Quadrant as well. Good to know it works. I might try that. Cheers @ZL8103!

[@ZL8103]

@@SimFanatic I used two m4 x 30mm small phillip head screws with washers. The way things lined up, I ended up using the holes from the left-most stock screw and the second from the right-most screw on the quadrant. I know the brackets weren't designed to mount on the quadrant. It so happens the holes line up that way! 🙂

For anyone wondering what computer he has, that's a Corsair desktop. My dad has one, and it works great.

@@buckle_bunny762 A Corsair is a type of ship, and pirates may have used them at some point. I don't know.

[@Pfahli94]

Saying it‘s a corsair desktop doesn‘t say anything about performance. It‘s like saying someone drives a Toyota for offroading instead of saying they are driving a RAV. But a Prius is a Toyota as well.
