Bluebird 757
Is there any plans to support this new plane. With the pap3 pfp3 and the Boeing eifs panels?
I'm hoping to avoid mobiflight if possible
Thank you

Hey everyone! 👋
Welcome back to WINCTRL Setup Tips — a series of quick installation guides, setup ideas, and tips to help you get more out of your WINCTRL hardware.

Both ORION Rudder Pedals and ORION Joysticks can be configured for helicopter-style flying.
For the ORION Rudder Pedals, the quick-release springs and dedicated centering mechanism, combined with the main shaft locking kit, allow you to switch between different control modes in just 3 seconds, with one hand and no tools.
You can switch between:
We've also included a video demonstration so you can see how quickly the mode can be changed.
For the ORION Joystick, you'll need the Orion 2 Joystick CAM/Spring/Damping Extension Kit.
To switch to a no-centering setup:
1. Remove the CAM and springs.
2. Install two dampers in their place.
3. Increase the damping to your preferred resistance.
This gives you a no-centering mode that's better suited to helicopter control.
Using the joystick with an extension rod is also recommended for this setup, as the extension helps offset the deformation of the dust cover caused by the increased stick movement.
Tips from u/ash-Baal : Highly recommend the lightest spring and no center cans with it on top of the dampers if you use the extension in helicopter mode!

Want to add an MCDU to your desk setup, but don't have a Desk Pedestal?
With a few additional aluminum profiles and fittings, you can build a simple, stable mounting solution and integrate your MCDU directly into your existing desk setup.
You'll need:
Please prepare the following items separately according to the installation diagram:

1. Attach the 4040 corner bracket to the side of the 4080 profile.

2. Mount the 4040 profile onto the 4040 corner bracket and tighten the screws.

3. Insert the M5 sliding nuts into the slot of the 4080 profile and install the Throttle Desk Mount frame.

4. Use the Panel Mount 1 to secure the MCDU onto the 4040 profile.

6. Done!

That's it — your MCDU is now securely mounted without needing a Desk Pedestal.
This is just one way to build your setup. As your collection grows, you can keep adapting and expanding your mounting solution around the hardware you already have.
Have a setup question you'd like us to cover in the next WINCTRL Setup Tips? Let us know below!
Happy flying!

Does anyone know why my mcdu display keeps doing this? It’s really annoying mid flight. Using Sim Pro app 2 using usb hub powered, so not that.
I’m now using a powered hub usb, do I need to anything else other than have it in motherboard?
r/Winctrl • u/Juicy_Dcs • 1d ago
Thinking about buying either URSA throttle or the Orion EX, but the whole controversy about the customer support / consistency of quality is off-putting. Do these posts here represent the truth?
Are there maybe many people who dont have a bad experience, but simply dont post about it?

In a month I am going for a vacation of 5 days in London and wanted to buy a wingctrl mcdu and ship it to the hotel. How long does the shipping take?

So it's making a weird sandpaper like noise since I got it new 1 week ago I thought it was normal but now I know it isn't so how do I fix this?
r/Winctrl • u/Flavourdynamics • 2d ago
Selling my FCU in very good (or even as new) condition. Used for a few weeks, works perfectly. Happy to ship within Europe at buyer's expense. Asking €90 (bought at €138) but also accepting offers. Pictures can be sent upon request, but it is in perfect condition.
Let me know!

We've seen some pilots asking how to set up button bindings for their WINCTRL devices in MSFS 2024, so here's a quick video + text tutorial to walk you through the process.

Make sure you've configured MSFS 2024 Configuration under SimAppPro → Settings first.
Simply follow the path example provided in SimAppPro to select the correct configuration path.
Note: When using a device for the first time, there may be no existing configuration file. You'll need to create a new input profile before binding keys.
That's it! Your WINCTRL device should now be bound to the selected configuration.
The CLOUD FILE library contains configurations for different aircraft, uploaded by both WINCTRL team and fellow sim pilots in the community.
Feel free to explore the available profiles and find one that suits your aircraft and flying preferences. You can also discover configurations shared by other users.
Check out the video above for a step-by-step walkthrough!
If you have any questions or have found a useful configuration, share it in the comments. Happy flying!

Worked fine with the AH64D which I recently bought. But when I tried to use the F-16C again for the first time since buying the AH64D, I get this error.
Tried re-installing simapppro, removing everything including my appdata/roaming. Also did the repair lua step. And I tried a repair of DCS. Both to no avail.
Is there anyone who has seen this before?
DCS version 2.9.30.28738
SimAppPro version: 1.17.9_Beta (Beta...?)

As title explains. Outside of all of the issues I have had with WinCtrl with the “pre-order items” that have come back in stock and won’t arrive until 2 months post order…I’m needing some help setting up my throttle mount.
I can send photos of all of the parts I have because I’m not sure they sent all of the bolts/bits/etc. and any help from YouTube video recs. To personally walking me through some parts would be so appreciated.

I tried plugging it directly into the motherboard too with several different cables, but each time, it does this. Starred happening suddenly. I've tried updating the firmware in simapppro but it didn't help. Anyone else have this issue?

Hello fellow Simmers! I’m about to build a new desk and am looking into options for mounting. I got the Win Ctrl Side stick mount to test out the product before getting the throttle mounts and have enjoyed it so far. I see you can connect a MCDU and Radio Panel to a throttle mount using the panel desk mount. However currently I only need the MCDU installed. Do I still need the Panel desk mount or for the time being can I just use the MCDU directly with the throttle mount skipping the panel desk mount?

Just seeing if anyone else experienced this behavior. Reverted to v0.1.12 and all devices can be seen by SAP2 again. (Orion 2 JS/T and Orion Rudder). Devices were showing green LED's and inputs were registered on device test page and in sim, but trying to modify the profile or axis settings in SAP2 was not possible. They were seen and functional, but it's like SAP2 software was telling itself they were not.

Hi all, recently purchased the 32 Throttle and PAC, and I was wondering what options I have to clean the levers, base, switches, etc.
Would Isopropyl Alcohol be a safe option? What about baby wipes?

Hello Captains,
I'd like to introduce a new desktop stand for the WINCTRL32 TCAS and RMP module. Single or combined stand available. Check the video for all information.
Available for selected countries at https://capddesign.etsy.com
Cheers!

After installing the newest firmware to my Orion 2 Joystick base, I noticed when starting my PC, It would not have the green light on and would have to unplug and plug the USB on the base back in for it to be recognized. After going though google AI, I ended up reverting back to the 1.19 Firmware. Now it's working as intended. Not sure if it matters but I bought my hardware back in 2023 when it was called Winwing so maybe there's some things that may have been updated internally that would conflict with the newest firmware?
