WINWING:MFD1(With USB3.0 Display)

I've built out my DCS F/A-18 Sim Pit sort of piecemeal but rather fast. I have a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and T.Flight Rudder Pedals, SimFab seat and mounting system, and then Winwing PTO2, UFC/HUD, and MFD1s - all bought individually. Everything is working well together. The only issue I had was with the MFD1s - I bought three and one of the button fame MFD units was not working properly and not registering with SimApp Pro. I emailed WW and got an immediate response and we did some troubleshooting via their texting system on their website. Turns out the UBS cable was bad - bought a new cable at the local Best Buy the next day for $9, hooked it up and everything worked. I watched several YT videos on setting this all up, and took away a couple tips: WW says to disconnect any non-WW USB devices when initializing and updating their units using SimApp Pro. I have a powered USB hub - actually two. I have the Thrustmaster HOTAS devices and TrackIR into one and WW devices into the other, so it's easy to unplug the non-WW devices. So far no conflicts with DCS. I don't do VR, so having this setup has really made things faster and easier than relying 100% on a mouse/trackball to hit switches and buttons.

I fly & teach DCS & Microsoft Flight simulator pilots. I bought this unit to augment the Thrustmaster HOTAS and MFD's that I am currently using. Now the pros and cons of the product: (PRO's): The Winwing Hardware is Exquisitely reproduced, the buttons switches and rotary knobs all feel and function first rate. Solid and durable. The Fit and finish between the HUD module and the UFC module were seamless and easy to assemble. The desk mount that came with it was robust and durable. NOW THE (CON's) : To Fully utilize this brand of hardware requires several different computer apps to be running in the background, & all running in sync and harmony to correctly interface with DCS servers and the other hardware being used for everything to function seamlessly and correctly,...& here lay the problem. All my switches and buttons on the "THRUSTMASTER HOTAS AND MFD's" were operational and functioning perfectly when I installed the "Simapp Pro" and integrated it with DCS. After that, nothing functioned correctly, with MFD buttons either doing nothing, or operating something other than what it was programed to. I ended up having to UNINSTALL the "Simapp Pro" software and both uninstall and reinstall the ENTIRE DCS Simulation app (722 Gb worth) to flush out the bugs it created. After that, I reprogrammed EVERY button and switch on my HOTAS again, and everything works fine. SUMMARY: Maybe if your entire setup is WINWING products, (a VERY EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION) the setup will run as advertised, but the issues it caused my machine would have needed an "IT" PROFESSIONAL to reconcile the interface.

WinWing makes solid quality Joysticks and peripheral control panel modules.The only downside in quality is in the USB-C ports. They are a bit weak. You can accidentally break them just by pulling the cord out. I highly reccomend getting magnetic USB-C adapters for any Wingwing items you get

This piece helped accomplish a dream of mine. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to fly however I am unable. This has already seen some good use and I would highly recommend if you are flying multiple aircraft. It is a high price but very worth having to put a front to a simpit. It also comes with mounts you can use to attach to a desk.

All items were delivered well packaged and secure. Each item fit together nicely, all hardware was provided to assemble the MIP, and each piece functions correctly after configuring with Simapp Pro. I had an issue with the SATA cable, the seller responded quickly and attentively and I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. I used Reshade to help brighten the screens when playing DCS and it’s perfect.

Best additional investment for both DCS & MSFS2020/24!If you're building an F/A-18 Sim-Pit, THIS Top-Gun MIP from WinWing is a Must-Buy, 1st Step for your Build!

Other than the overall size accommodations have to be fabricated. But that’s hardly a problem with the mounting options available. Overall with the help of small third party software it works as intended. Wonderful piece of work and down right functional to.
