A320 fcu

I am thinking of getting a A320 fcu panel so I don’t have to use the mouse for AP anymore! Anyone has any suggestions?

I’ve seen that hispapanels does have panels for the FCU, mainly self installation. Anyone tried it on msfs2020 yet?

Hi
looks nice but you should look in the forum, I think there is a custom cockpit topic where people can help you

Hi, you can alternatively use a tablet with software like touch portal or matric to control autopilot and other customisable cockpit buttons. Imo it s a cheaper alternative. I have recently came to know about it and i am loving it.
If you have the option to buy hardware, then nothing beats a physical device.

Cool mate, went to check out the softwares, I’m sure it’ll work great with Boeing, but as the Airbus has pull push knobs for the managed and selected AP functions, I’m not sure if it’ll be able to control the push pull, as there isn’t a shortcut key in msfs2020 for that function

Maybe check out for self installation:

Mobiflight: https://www.mobiflight.com/en/index.html for switch integration
FSUIPC: http://www.fsuipc.com/ for simconnect

Also for later on:
Jeehell: https://soarbywire.com/fmgs/ although still not out for MSFS yet

Nice! What materials you have used for the panel. And the electronics?

Cool build

The panel is made by Cockpitsonic.
Korry switches and annunciator made by homecockpits.fr
The electronic board is an Arduino Mega 2560 with Mobiflight 7.0.10 firmware.

CockpitMaster has an Airbus FCU in the works. Fully plug & play, also for MSFS: CockpitMaster - Master Your Own Cockpit

Hi, have you already decided for an FCU? So far I came accross:

The CPFlight has to be built-in, other 2 can be stand-alone on your desktop. Very steep pricing though with approx. €1.800… The VRInsight costs approx. €500 but is not looking like the real deal…

Have a look at “Javasimulator.com”, they are still the cheapest. I will also order there.
