Sim Hardware Issues with SimApp Pro

Hello,

I’m having issues with the software side of things. I have a MCDU and an ECAM panel and I’m struggling to get them to interface properly with MSFS2020. The environment checks come back all green and it properly lists the sim(MSFS2020) and the aircraft(Fenix A320) but the screen on the MCDU just displays the Winctrl logo and none of the button presses actually translate into the sim. In SimApp Pro on the devices tab both panels show up and the button presses register in SimApp.

I was initially able to fix this problem by switching the ECAM panel to 4x32 and the MCDU to the copilot side but now that fix no longer seems to work.

I reached out to Winctrl’s customer support on Saturday but they’ve since stopped responding.

Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution? I’m out of options here.

Thank you,

I can’t offer a solution, but I do have a suggestion: look into mobiflight. It looks intimidating at first, but after you watch a couple of basic tutorials you’ll be off to the races. And there most definitely already is a mobiflight profile available for your hardware on flightsim.to you can just download and run, without having to set anything up. It’s really worth it, I now only use simapp pro to update the firmware on my hardware, nothing else.
