The hardware developer WINWING has just opened pre-orders on one of its most anticipated products. Being now more accessible than ever for flight simulation enthusiasts, the developer’s MCDU/PFP is set to be a game changer in the flight simulation industry for users who would like to elevate their simulation experience.
Main Specifications
The full-scale MCDU is set to be highly authentic, mirroring precisely the Airbus A320 Family Multipurpose Control And Display Unit. With a panel thickness of 28.5mm and press travel for keys on the keypad of 1.3mm with a crisp sound, this new product provides a realistic surface structure that resists tilting over time.
Lighting Features
The MCDU provides LSK markings, buttons, and annunciators fully backlit. The user can adjust backlighting across multiple panels that support game sync, enhancing the simulation experience. Additionally, the product features realistic light sensors with auto-dimming, automatically adjusting the multi-panel backlighting in response to the cockpit’s lighting environment. The developer advises that this function can be manually turned off, depending on the user’s preference.
It Only Requires a USB Cable
With no need for HDMI or other video signal cables, the MCDU is easy to set up and use. Furthermore, the display renders independently without screen settings, ensuring no GPU performance impact and zero latency, having no negative impact on the simulator’s performance.
Highly Customizable
The MCDU’s customization options include font file replacement, character editing, color adjustments, and display margin settings. WINWING’s app, SimAppPro, will allow users to plug and play easily. Additionally, the product is not only designed for desktop use, as it includes six fully drilled mounting holes reserved for authentic cockpit builds
Closing Notes
In conclusion, this new MCDU/PFP is set to be an affordable option for flight simulation enthusiasts who want to elevate their simulation experience with new hardware, retailing for $129.95 on the developer’s website. If you would like to read more flight simulation news, check out our main page.
