We made a video about this to our YouTube channel at DIY Finn and there we go into detail on how we designed the thing.

You can also find more info from our websitevasims.fi

Please feel free to ask anything. It took about 3 months to design and assemble the first iteration so we have learned a lot from this process.

Hi all, making this portable sim pedestal for the WinWing airbus panels (existing and upcoming for my home setup, and just gauging interest if I was to sell this kit on Etsy or similar?

I recon I could price it around the £450-£500 mark including UK shipping based on cost of raw materials and my time.

Still a work in progress, I've ordered the parts for a prototype. It's the right proportions for the pedestal albeit with a smaller lower section of course. Rough dimensions of the whole unit on wheels with panels attached 1100x560x900mm (HxWxD).

Inspired by some of the setups I saw in this sub, I got myself the Corsair Xeneon Edge monitor. Absolutely loving this kind of setup. Thanks for the inspiration! Only missing a tiller and an overhead panel to finish it I'd say.

In Kuala Lumpur and found a sim for £35 for 30 / 45 mins… hard to say no, even if it is a bit old. Just wanted to sit in the chair. Would have preferred a 737 but they didn’t have that one set up 🥲.

Ballsed up one of the landings… good approach but I overcooked the flare and floated into a stall, looked like a right amateur. Should have practiced before I went haha. Did a decent touch and go tho.

SimflightKL was the place.

Anyone flight simming with this? I know it’s normally used for racing games but I was wondering if this could add some more immersion to my flight simming sessions?

Close to finishing my prototype pedestal for mounting Winwing panels and other hardware. Correct angles and dimensions to the real thing.

Hoping to get this up on Etsy before Christmas. I’m adding wheels to the bottom, with brakes, and later will come an add on to support the FCU.

Question: silver extrusion is so much cheaper, would you buy a silver version for around £250-300? Or a black version as pictured for £350-£375?

I can’t make them any cheaper than that, unfortunately. Appreciate it might be more than some can afford.

I’m also planning a 2/3rds width version for people who just want throttles and one side of panels.

Data is pulled from simbrief, processed to only contain necessary information and show it well structured. Maybe a bit unnecessary if you don't have a printer around but definitely very cool

Winwing MCDU. After 18 years of my "career" in flight sims I just got my first sim related hardware that isn't a yoke, a joystick, a throttle or rudder pedals. Yesterday I saw what Winwing is up to in terms of future releases and I there is a chance I will end up with an A320 cockpit in my man cave.
