CNFSimulator.A320 FCU Product Specification (PDF)
Product Overview
The CnTech A320 Flight Control Unit (FCU) is modelled 1:1 on the real panel in appearance, dimensions and operating logic, and is installed in the corresponding position of the simulated cockpit glare shield. The assembly combines two EFIS panels on either side with a central FCU panel, integrating 32-bit pullable encoders, digital displays and self-resetting push-buttons — speed, heading, altitude and vertical speed are set at your fingertips, and with iFSim.Ready it is plug-and-play.
Key Features
- 1:1 Authentic Reproduction
Appearance, dimensions and markings are modelled from scans of the real aircraft, and the metal knob caps reproduce the true operating feel. - Professional Light-Guide Backlight
Aviation-grade light-guide plate with a high-grade baked finish; warm-white backlight spreads evenly and brightness follows the real aircraft dimming logic, so it never glares at night. - 32-Bit Pullable Encoders
Four encoders provide rotate, pull and push signals. Metal knob caps give crisp detents that stay accurate even when operating with gloves on. - Rich Annunciator Display
Amber annunciator lamps, green indicator bars and round status flags are all controlled independently for faithful state feedback. - CAN Bus Communication
One network cable integrates power and communication and connects to the CnTech CAN Box through RJ45 — stable and strongly interference-resistant. - High Compatibility
Together with the iFSim.Ready software it supports MSFS, Prepar3D, X-Plane and other mainstream platforms.
Functional Description
The assembly takes encoders, rotary switches and push-buttons as inputs, and drives digital displays, annunciator lamps and key backlighting as outputs.
| Inputs | Four 32-bit pullable encoders (SPD/MACH, HDG/TRK, ALT, V/S) with metal knob caps; the ALT outer ring is a two-position rotary switch for 100 / 1000 ft; three small black keys switch the display units; six mode keys (AP1, AP2, LOC, ATHR, EXPED, APPR) with 5 N actuation force. |
|---|---|
| Outputs | Four amber digital displays, shown as illustrated — blank when extinguished; amber annunciator text — no text visible when the lamp is off; keys carry three green horizontal bars — not visible when the lamp is off; keys show amber backlighting, appearing white when the lamp is off. |
EFIS Panel
| Inputs | Two 32-bit pullable encoders with metal knob caps; two BARO outer-ring two-position rotary switches; mode switch (LS, VOR, NAV, ARC, PLAN) with 5 positions at 45° each; range switch (10–320 NM) with 6 positions at 45° each; self-resetting push-buttons (CSTR, WPT, VORD, NDB, APRT, FD, LS); a three-position guarded toggle switch that must be lifted before it can be moved. |
|---|---|
| Outputs | Amber digital displays showing amber QFE / QNH barometric values and annunciator lamps; keys carry three green horizontal bars — not visible when the lamp is off; keys show amber backlighting, appearing white when the lamp is off. |
