@@My320Sim Okay thanks

@@ToxinuousTT currently it is the cheapest cockpit hardware around I think, at least as far as FCUs go. It’s very good. The preorder price was great but it’s gone up now it’s officially released here. I recommend it though

Winwing pricing is VERY good compared to competition (if there even is competition lol) Any cheaper and you would only get something like the logitech trash where every button wiggles like crazy. and thats just money thrown in the garbage.

@dinonuggies2276 oh ye totally agree buy for that money they could also fit in the barometer section too

@@ToxinuousTT the EFIS is coming out on the 8th October which has the Baro setting on it. The feel of WinWing doesn’t match the real Airbus but for cost and for the job it’s designed for, it is spot on. No other Airbus hardware can be bought that cheap. Even the full CP Flight unit I have doesn’t feel like the real thing, so higher pricing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better. I cannot comment for Skalarki but I imagine it will be much the same. I think WinWing are doing a great service to the flight sim community and I’m excited to see what they do next

@@Aviationdreams1 hi, thanks for the comment! I used 2x 13.3” displays. They are smaller than the real screens though but suit my needs well. I think for realistic display sizes you need a 17” & 19” - I think the 17 is PFD/ND and the 19 would do the ECAMs. I hope this helps :)

@@PikalinkFN I have seen the Samsung Odyssey range but price point is insanely high. I was thinking perhaps a projector would suit the sim a bit better. That said, in a bright room a monitor would work 100x better. For now the current monitor is enough for me :)

​@@My320Simok just saying that when they come down it would be a nice upgrade

@@PikalinkFN STD refers to the Barometric pressure setting. Almost all aircraft all fly based off pressure altitude which means when they set different pressures (based off the atmospheric pressure) their height above ground may read different to another aircraft which is flying the same indicated altitude but on a different pressure. To avoid this discrepancy, aircraft will be given flight levels which is all based off the same pressure setting; 1013 hPa or 29.92 inHg - otherwise known as standard. This allows aircraft to fly safer in congested airspace, reducing risk of conflict - I hope this helps! :)

@@mrb13676 Thank you! The overhead has just been mounted on a 3 legged frame. I have two legs on the captain side and one on the FO side. The forward legs have a crossbeam between which overhangs the MIP and these uprights are screwed into the MIP shell. Then the 3rd leg is attached with a crossbeam to the captain side upright MIP beam. The overhead is then suspended between the 3 via some frame work. The 3 legs means that although less sturdy, I am able to move around better without another upright getting in the way. A little confusing of an explanation, sorry. But I hope it helps. It’s all just woodwork. Nothing too fancy :)

@@VonycBln if the ATC isn’t online though it is just uncontrolled airspace which would just be class G. I get they might get funny but they weren’t there to control you. So as long as you are monitoring something like a VatSim map I see no issue. IRL I can count on probably 1 hand how many times I have fully followed a SID from LGW

@@My320Sim But it happens on vatsim when they come online that they advise you to maintain the constraints :)

@@VonycBln I guess it can be a risk. Personally I rarely continue the SID on MSFS if there are no controllers online because to me it’s uncontrolled airspace, once handed from tower to Unicom I will do my own thing, ie climb to cruise unrestricted and take a shortcut if possible, being aware of other passing traffic to not cause issues. If ATC then choose to come online I will just advise them what I am doing. I find VatSim takes itself way too seriously. More seriously than real life, which sadly ruins the experience at times. Don’t let the flight simulator ATC bully you out of flying the aircraft when you’re perfectly right to fly where and how you like in uncontrolled airspace! Remember that you are the pilot flying the aircraft and ATC is there to help you. Ultimately it is up to you what and where you fly ;) if they want something different when they log on, they should advise you after you tell them your current intentions. In the case of the LAM6M SID shortcut I would advise ATC when they log on, on initial contact “XYZ climbing FL120 direct BPK” and let them issue you a different clearance if needed. I hope this helps, wishing you blue skies and happy landings! Cheers, Sam

@@CarlosGarcia-be4td Hi, thanks for your comment. There are plenty of tutorials online about how to create simple mobiflight/flight sim circuitry and hardware, I used these tutorials to build this sim, so feel no need explain in depth what others have already covered. That said, I do have a video on my channel about wiring in pushbuttons and switches like the ones used in this overhead. Please also bare in mind this is an old video. I also have plenty of comments who have asked about how I make these things, to which I have given detailed replies. I’d recommend to check them out!

@@mr.airspace hi! Thanks for the comment. For the LGW speeds etc, it varies I guess with what aircraft you are flying but director will generally get you back to 220 knots and then 180 until established on final, at which point it’s 160 to 4. I see in the Airfield AOI that it says speed between 180-160 knots. There was a NOTAM enforced late last year though requiring 160 knots by 7DME and maintained til 4. I can’t vouch if this is still current - not yet at least. Gatwick does vary a bit from other places. The AOIs for some airports demand speed management and the ATC will just expect it, places like Barcelona or Amsterdam for example, but other airports like Pisa or other smaller places, they don’t tend to have published speed management so it comes down to pilot preference. You may find going into these places that one crew may wish to do an ILS at 160 to 4 or they may wish to do 180 to 6, or just fly it fully speed managed on the Airbus and decelerate with it. I personally prefer 160 to 4 but it’s not something you can always do. For Gatwick though and especially in the Airbus 319/320 you would be looking to fly clean at the 220, then decelerate to 180 taking flaps 1, if your S speed is just above 180 then you can select 180 and fly just under S speed but if managed in terms of speed it won’t go below S speed. Anyway, I digress. Then they keep you 180 to turn final, so to plan ahead you take flap 2 when the Glideslope indicator is 1 dot above, then take 160 when told. For straight in, I have only had it once or twice but they say to keep high speed, so we ended up doing 250 knots down to an established base leg to like 3000’, speed brakes out and it still wasn’t enough, so we dropped the speed off and got to flaps 2, took the gear and it was all good all before even turning localiser, sometimes they will push it when they try to give you a quicker arrival, but it’s key to remember that if it isn’t something you feel is going well then fly the plane first and relay it to ATC. After all we are the ones flying it and not them! That said it’s always been a well run and efficient experience into LGW and the same can be said on VatSim, they do a great job of controlling it and it’s very close to reality!

@@My320Sim Super thanks a lot! Love your comprehensive answer ☺

@@Xein42 Thanks Zein, 6 axis would be pretty sweet. Not sure my woodworking skills would hold up to motion though and all the joints would come crumbling down 😂

@@buzzzudemd hello, thanks for the comment. My hardware works with the FBW A32NX and the Fenix Airbuses. The only thing that has issues is the CPFlight FCU. It doesn’t work with the Fenix airbuses. They might be releasing an update soon though I hope. It works with the FlyByWire but with limitations. I plan to change to the WinWing FCU and glareshield. Otherwise all works with the FBW, though the RMP was a nightmare to set up

@@ustyboy_11 hello, I use under cabinet led lighting. They come as small round light disks which plug into the mains, I then cut a circle of cardboard out and in that I cut out a small triangle to allow the light through. The cardboard was then stuck over the light fixture to create the effect. It works fairly well but doesn’t dim - at least yet - I might fit a dimmer one day

@@Mkvy hi thank you for the comment. I also wish to say thank you for such an amazing Gatwick airport addon! It really captures the feel of Gatwick, I love your work! I cannot comment on the air bridges as I haven’t been at work for the past 6 months but I did notice when heading on holiday a couple of months ago that south terminal had all been blanked out and freshly painted grey. I guess the HSBC era is coming to an end. Either way, it’s great seeing all the updates you provide. From someone who flies out of LGW for work, I can whole heartedly say it is very very accurate, a perfect rendition! I wasn’t aware of the Uber branding coming but look forward to your future updates :)

@@marvinbrooks2601 I might make a captains side one day but it’s on the back burner for now - space for it is the main limitation

@@sgiuello just MSFS pop outs with Pop Out Panel Manager

@@DenverCenterSim hi thank you for the comment. I use Pop Out Panel Manager to get the screens in the right place and like you I also get a big FPS hit. I have set basically minimal settings and use an AutoFPS tool that affects the LOD based on Altitude, on top of that I have DX12 running which helps a bit and then have tweaked the Nvidia control panel settings, but also run Lossless Scaling. Lossless Scaling makes the biggest difference. I go from between 15 to 20fps on the ground to as high as 60 to 80 with it. It makes a huge difference. I hope this helps. I run off an old i7-6700k and GTX1080 8GB

@@My320Sim I also used lossless scaling, but it was quite unreliable, and caused many CTDs! I am now using the insim frame gen, with AutoFPS 🙂

Awesome, sounds good! Should be a lot easier if it isn’t needing any lights to work!

Hi Alex. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, nothing like wood, switches and arduinos! Making it yourself is a lot more satisfying than buying I think, cheaper too. But at the same time it’s a long long process. Anyway, I think we are all on our quest for more realism and any kind of physical switch and button helps with that! :) cheers!

@@ToxinuousTT it’s all scratch built with wood. The wood was cut into the individual panels using real dimensions and then holes drilled for buttons and switches. Then painted and all wired in, then mounted to a frame. After that it was just a case of building a framework to hold it over the pedestal area

​@My320Sim how much did it cost you on average and I could be asking to much but could you also link all the ovhd parts u bought ❤

@@mr.airspace hi, thank you! The FCU was one I bought a while ago, it’s a second hand CP Flight unit which I got back in 2019. I used to have a 737 MCP and EFIS which I traded in against the FCU and glareshield. In all honesty I cannot recommend the unit from CP Flight, the push-pull functions aren’t like the real thing and the unit itself relies on the CP Flight driver. The driver works for the FBW A32NX but with a lot of limitations, eg the chrono button will crash FSUIPC, the Master Warning lights have the issues mentioned in the video. The company said a few months ago that they now support the Fenix Airbus with it too. It doesn’t work at all with that aircraft, I uploaded a video with the issues on my channel for them to address and a month ago they said they would look into it after their holidays. Nothing has happened yet though so their support isn’t good either. I saw on Facebook other people with the same issues. I’m looking forward to the WinWing units. I plan to replace the whole glareshield with them as they work out of the box. Plus, the WinWing stuff has mobiflight support, which (for me) means that it will work with the panels I have built, not requiring another software to run. Sorry it’s a long answer but no I didn’t build the FCU, although I’m sure if I had it would work much better than this one! 🤣 The WingFlex unit does look incredible though but sadly it is very expensive!

@@My320Sim Thanks for the detailed reply ☺In fact I ordered the WinWing FCU beginning of May and still waiting. So not sure what is going on there either, but at least their product reviews are indeed great :)
