A320 FCU Flight Control Unit with EFIS CPT and F/O
CPflight FCU is a full scale replica of the AIRBUS FLIGHT CONTROL UNIT. The module is complete and ready to use and interface with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
FCU320 is connected to the PC through the USB cable. USB port provides enough power supply for the FCU, both EFIS320 and side panels modules. The USB driver can be free downloaded at FSC and CPflight websites.
The unit works with the FSX Airbus A320 aircraft using the CPflight driver FS_COM.
FCU320 can be interfaced with Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX), Project Magenta FCU, AST software and FeelThere Airbus series (payware driver). The hardware establishes an interface with FSX, PM, AST and FeelThere Airbus software; logics, operating modes and aircraft behavior are managed by the PC software.
FCU320 is equipped with high quality level components. Digital encoder, custom display LCD gives a high fidelity performances and a never seen kind of realism. Knobs are made in powder-coated aluminum with symbols on HDG and VS knobs. FCU320 has a warm white backlight.
FCU320 is supplied with wide expansion capability through the DIN 5 pole auxiliary socket. This allows you to connect and interface CPflight plug&play expansion modules. Based on a 16 bit microcontroller, CPflight FCU is supplied with 4 digital encoders able to command all functions as you may find on a real FCU Flight Control Unit.
The custom backlighted LCD display assures a perfect management of all display label like a real FCU. You can regulate the display brightness and contrast to always have a perfect match with the ambient light.
The FCU320 already has the sockets used to connect the two EFIS (CP and FO) on board.
The EFIS are directly powered and managed by the FCU, so you don't need further supply adapter or cables. The flash memory technology of the microcontroller gives you a simple way to upgrade the built-in operating program (firmware). This feature is useful for update your FCU with improvement and future expansions.
FCU320 firmware provides an internal program mode to configure the main preferences in the hardware functionality. No need for PC software program to configure the FCU320 hardware.
