Cockpit Controls Panel Configuration

For most aircraft models, no additional configuration is needed. This document only describes the panels that require extra configuration.

PMDG B737/B777

Configuring CDU Service

By default, the CDU data service for the PMDG B737/B777 model is not enabled, which means the CDU display content will not be visible on the SimFly Pad. You can enable it by following these steps:

  • (Ensure you have run the PMDG 737/777 model at least once)
  • Close the MSFS game. Go to the Cockpit Controls page in SimFly Linker and click the “Apply” button next to PMDG Settings. Your installed PMDG 737/777 models will be displayed below, and a green check mark indicates the configuration has been successfully modified.

Configuring Landing Lights

In PMDG B737 CDU, you can switch the type of Landing Lights. When you switch, the B737 panel in the SimFly Pad will not automatically follow the switch. You need to make the corresponding changes on the “Cockpit Controls Settings” page of SimFly Pad.

FBW A320

When flying the A320, you’ll need to manually switch the Profile. You can do this by selecting FBW A320 in the A320 Selected Profile section on the Cockpit Controls page of SimFly Linker.

Using the DEV Version of FBW A320

  • The DEV version is the officially recommended version by FBW and is the main compatible version for SimFly Pad.

Enabling SimBridge Service

To obtain MCDU data for FBW, you will need to install the official FBW SimBridge software. After installing, it is recommended to configure SimBridge to run automatically. More information can be found here: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/simbridge/

Fenix A320

When flying the A320, you’ll need to manually switch the Profile. You can do this by selecting Fenix A320 in the A320 Selected Profile section on the Cockpit Controls page of SimFly Linker.

No additional configuration is needed. Please update the FENIX A320 to version B407 or above.
