Hardware support

The MCDU display export feature would add significant value to this aircraft and would likely attract new customers as well, as many users who rely heavily on this hardware simply won't buy the aircraft unless it supports it.

@ScotchMist correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a spad user also. We could always code our MCP type devices to display. The problem is with the MCDU/CDU displays. That's the one we are unable to use on all just flight aircraft.

ScotchMist

You're correct in regards the MCDU however there was FCU mention earlier so thought I'd cross reference as that post slips down the list very quickly...

I was really hoping that the F100 would have it considering it has a reasonably modern FMS. This was already requested for the RJ and I can understand that with that plane already released it was not going to be developed, but for the Fokker it would be really nice to get. With a couple of hundred Australian Dollars for a Winwing FMS it’s definitely not just for the cockpit builder and even planes like the CRJ support it even though they are not considered top tear. Anyway, I am not sure what is involved, but I am sure you can sort it out if it would get the focus and priority on the list. In the end if people spend a lot of money for hardware, they will check what planes can support it especially with so many great addons coming to the community

I have the winwing FCU displays working fine in spad, albeit with a lot more work than most planes require.

So, not sure if this is of use, but the first Mobiflight profile for Winctrl hardware has been released on flightsim.to:

Also, they're asking in the Winctrl dc for feedback re them adding support for the Fokkers:

Maybe jump in there and let them know you want it:

I’ve commented on the thread on discord.

This is the problem with things like winctrl. The deeper you get into hardware the more limited (potentially) your range of aircraft becomes!

There is no problem at all with hardware. We have tools like Spad.Next, Mobiflight, Axis and Ohs, etc to make it work. All we need is that developers make the variables and data available for configuration - which sadly Just Flight has not yet fully implemented.

Yeah. The only aircraft (out of many) that I own and can't fully use my hardware is the RJ Pro. If this feature was added I would gladly purchase the Fokker. But no interest in flying with a mouse right now

For anyone interested, I created a profile for the new WinCtrl TCAS in Spad Next (as of right now, you'll need to enter the Beta channel in Spad Next to use it) Snippet 17363.

The display was quite a challenge to get right.

@storemaster said in Hardware support:

is there already existing or planned hardware support (i.e. winctrl) for FCU

I also created a WinCtrl FCU profile. Snippet for that one is: 17282
