*FIRST LOOK* - New WinWing EFIS Unit | Capt & FO Pack A320 Harware

Winwing are now taking orders for their highly anticipated EFIS unit to go alongside their A320 FCU which was released a few months ago. In this video we take a look at the setup and see how well it works and feels, as well as some areas which I feel could be done a lot better.

I also really like their business approach where they don't take your money until shipping is ready to commence. A lot of the other companies would take your money soon as you place a pre-order...

congratulations to WinWing! I own the miniFCU but really glad to the other great products hitting the market. We all benefit from the competition!

[stevecole]

I'm envious that you've got yours already!!! Nice one mate. Just ordered mine !!!

[MrVampireBill]

preordered mine within minutes of them going live for pre-order

[REALSIMPILOT]

This is amazing I just got mine, retailers like those who sell that mini FCU and others should be kicked out of business for those crazy prices. Thanks, WinWing.

all instructions and documentation is on there website, in pdf form. which i like, because it stays up to date.

I love my FCU and I ordered the EFIS as soon as I could, the website seemed log jammed last night (EST) when it went live for ordering. I too like the payment due at shipping time. Can't wait, I didn't have any issues with the firmware or getting it to work. I do think I will save some money by just getting the left side, plus I'm limited on desk space.

Thanks for doing a good review of the new efis panels. Good camerawork so I could see the panels well. I’ve preordered like a lot of people will..and why not at that price. You can mount the brackets on the very outside edges of the efis panels rather than the back. That’s how my FFU is set up and it doesn’t lean forward. Thanks again.

As you have a first look of a product that is not officially released yet I don't think it is strange that the product did not have documentation yet. Which is released right now as you stated on WinWing's website and quite comprehensive.


As for the other documentation of the FCU at release it was already quite comprehensive and very clear on how to mount everything including the bracket. Pro tip, mount the brackets to on the side of the unit and it will no longer be top heavy and tip forward.

The software has come quite a way since original release and WinWing, to their credit, are constantly updating both the software and the Firmware improving an already good product. Especially at this amazing price range.

Just my 2 pennies.

The wedges need mounting on the ends for a desk mounted solution. You’ve got them on the back which is better suited to the table clamp. Never had an issue with the software, it’s pretty much plug and play for me. I never bother unplugging all of my USB devices either. It just works. Mobiflight adds lots of options for other aircraft too. Best bang for buck controllers imo. Thanks for the review.

you can mount the stands at the side of the efis. same as they were mounted on the fcu before. so config would be efis left mounted left, fcu 2 stands mounted on the back, efis right mounted right side.

I got my FCU unit later, and with a later version of the software than yours. For me it was straight forward. And I got instructions.
Yes, to unplug all USB devices to update firmware is very annoying
I can’t wait to put my hands on the EFIS I purchased today

Docs are all available on their website, including for the EFIS :)

I didn't find setting up the WinWIng FCU hard at all. All manuals on website if you need them and the SimApp software is working out of the box with Fenix now. I do have to make sure SimApp is running before starting a flight in MSFS but I just start it up and run through the controls including a 3 second LCD check on test tab and its always been ready. Compared to the TM Airbus Quadrant it was a piece of cake. A small inconvenience for the price.

[hpharold]

I have double sided 3M automobile adhesive on the feet of the unit and its securely and firmly.

[Jodydoc]

Gavin, I think they mean only winwing devices need to be disconnected first. I removed no USB devices for my FCU and it worked off the bat, no settings to change at all. Plug and play

[andyholmes]

There are two brackets that fix the FCU and the EFIS together.

I dealt with the website issues last night for 2 hours but got my order for each panel in with the global shipping site. Had to do 2 orders because of the site issues... Looking forward to mine arriving, I will have to say winwing is great value for the money, Ive practically built a a glareshield for about 300 dollars when just the miniFCU would have cost the same...

EFIS ordered 2 days ago .. being delivered from HKK on 21 Oct. So 2 weeks lead time. A little cheaper from HK than from UK.

[MrVampireBill]

FYI A couple of bits that may help with this, there is some documentation with the new FCUs but it's in PDF format on the winwing website but it hasn't incorporated the EFIS modules yet. The brackets should go on the back if you plan to mount them on a frame and at the side (you only need two) if you will be sitting it on a desk. Also it seems that the removal of USB devices are only other winwing products or devices that simapp pro can see (at least that was mu experience
