Using a Winwing FCU with MobiFlight - MobiFlight/MobiFlight-Connector GitHub Wiki

Using a WINWING FCU with MobiFlight

  1. Download and install MobiFlight. You will need Mobiflight Beta 10.2.2.1 or later versions.
  2. Enable beta versions by going to Extras in the menu, selecting Settings, and checking the box next to Yes, I would like to receive beta version upgrades
  3. Restart MobiFlight to get prompted to install the beta version. Install it.

That's it! MobiFlight will show the Winwing FCU as a device when you create new input or output configs.

Using existing profiles

Need a profile for your plane? Check flightsim.to for profiles that work with many popular MSFS2020 planes.

The first time you open one of the profiles in MobiFlight you will need you assign your WINWING FCU to the existing configuration. MobiFlight will show you a dialog like this when the profile is opened:

A screenshot of a warning from MobiFlight saying a joystick in the config is referenced but not connected.

Press OK on the dialog. You will then get a dialog like this:

A screenshot of the MobiFlight orphaned serials dialog showing a WINWING device in the orphaned list and a WINWING device in the connected module dropdown.

Click on the WINWING device in the upper list, then select your WINWING device from the dropdown next to the Assign button. Then click Assign and save your updated config file.

Making your own profiles

Want to learn how to make your own profiles? Watch the MobiFlight getting started video on YouTube, just skip the part about configuring an Arduino device. Your WINWING will automatically show up when making a new input or output config.

Troubleshooting

If the following troubleshooting steps don't help start a Discord support thread in the #mobiflight, #msfs2020, or #xplane channel.

  • Got a yellow warning indicator for modules in the bottom left status bar of MobiFlight? Ignore it, that warning only applies to Arduino devices.
  • Simulator not responding to your inputs on the WINWING FCU? Make sure to press Run or enable AutoRun in the MobiFlight toolbar.
  • Simulator still not responding after selecting Run or AutoRun? Make sure you followed the steps to assign your WINWING device to the profile you downloaded.
  • Trying to use an existing profile and getting prompted about a missing device? Follow the steps in the animated image on the page you downloaded the profile from, then save your profile.
  • Not seeing the WINWING FCU in the dropdown of the orphaned joysticks dialog? This means MobiFlight can't see your WINWING FCU. Make sure it has the latest firmware installed and that you don't have SIMAPP PRO isn't running. Also try rebooting your computer.

Mobiflight Rocks!! Yes it does! Excellent documentation. Thank you.
