Winwing Fcu

This script is to use Winwing A320 FCU on Linux (maybe Mac-OS) with X-Plane. All buttons, leds and lcd displays work the same way as in X-Plane.
Tested with:

• XP12 under linux (debian trixie)
• XP11 under linux (debian bookworm)
• XP12 under MacOs (Sequoia 15.0.1)
• Toliss A319, A320Neo, A321Neo, A339, A340-600

Supported Hardware:

• Winwing FCU: fully supported
• Winwing EFIS-R: fully supported
• Winwing EFIS-L: only buttons and switches supported, no lcd and no leds

Installation

Debian based system

1. clone the repo where you want
2. copy udev/71-winwing.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d
sudo cp udev/71-winwing.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
3. install dependencies (on debian based systems)
   sudo aptitude install python3-usb
4. start script (with udev rule no sudo needed): python3 ./winwing_fcu.py when X-Plane with Toliss aircraft is loaded.

MAC-OS

1. clone the repo where you want
2. install homebrew
3. install dependencies python3 -m pip install pyusb
4. brew install libusb
5. let pyusb find libusb: ln -s /opt/homebrew/lib ~/lib
6. start script with sudo: sudo python3 ./winwing_fcu.py when X-Plane with Toliss aircraft is loaded.
7. A detailed installation instruction can be found on x-plane forum.

Use FCU

2. load Toliss A319
3. start script as written above
4. enjoy flying (and report bugs :-) )

Change brightness with the two brightness knobs in the cockpit.

Notes

Use at your own risk. Updates to the FCU can make the script incompatible. TODO: The data sent in the USB protocol by SimApp Pro has not yet been fully implemented, only to the extent that it currently works.

Next steps

• EFIS-L LCD and LEDs when EFIS-L arrives (first only for supporters of this project)
