Wingflex A320 RMP Combo Cube squeezes four useful Airbus control sections into one compact unit, combining RMP, ATC, TCAS and warning-panel functions with high-contrast dual-colour LCD screens. Its physical knobs and illuminated controls give frequency changes and transponder entries a satisfying mechanical rhythm, without consuming the entire desk. The 80% scale and 13-degree tilt keep everything comfortably visible, while USB connectivity makes installation refreshingly direct. Apparently, proper radio management does not require a full cockpit shell and several kilometres of wiring. What Sets the Wingflex A320 RMP Combo Cube apart? Four Control Sections Earn Their Desk Space Rather than reproducing only the radio management panel, the unit combines RMP, ATC, TCAS and glareshield warning functions behind one compact face. This gives solo pilots considerably more usable control than a single-purpose radio panel. Hands-on coverage particularly values the integrated radio section because it places communication and surveillance controls beside the Airbus autopilot hardware, where they can be reached without returning to the virtual cockpit. Compact Dimensions Without Tiny Controls The 80% scale reduces the panel’s footprint while retaining physical rotary controls and readable displays. Review coverage of the complete Cube system found the format notably easier to position beneath a conventional monitor than full-width Airbus hardware. The compromise is sensible for desktop pilots: it saves space without shrinking everything into fiddly miniature controls that require the fingertips of a concert pianist and the patience of an air-traffic controller. Lighting That Behaves as One Cockpit System The RMP Combo Cube can synchronize its brightness with the Wingflex FCU Cube and EFIS Cube, producing consistent illumination across the complete glareshield arrangement. Independent reporting also notes that each module can still operate separately, so the RMP does not require the complete Cube set. That flexibility is useful for gradual cockpit builds, while synchronized backlighting prevents one panel glowing like a supermarket sign beside two carefully dimmed instruments. Straightforward Setup, With Aircraft-Specific Boundaries User feedback describes the initial setup as notably simple, and the panel operates through a direct USB connection with Wingflex integration software. However, reports also show that behaviour may vary between aircraft and simulator versions, particularly when a specific function has not yet been implemented. It is therefore far less troublesome than custom wiring, but compatibility should still be checked by aircraft rather than assumed from the presence of an Airbus badge. Pros and Cons Pros Cons Four integrated sections reduce separate hardware requirements. Reduced scale differs from full-size cockpit dimensions. Dual-colour displays provide clear frequency information. Aircraft support varies between simulator platforms. Synchronized lighting complements other Wingflex Cube modules. USB connection keeps desktop installation straightforward. Angled enclosure improves visibility from seated positions. Specifications Specification Value Product Wingflex A320 RMP Combo Cube Scale 80% scale Integrated Functions RMP, ATC, TCAS and glareshield warning panel Display Type Dual-colour LCD screens Display Background Black Viewing Angle 13 degrees Connection USB Installation Plug-and-play Lighting Synchronized brightness adjustment Compatible Lighting Modules Wingflex A320 FCU Cube and A320 EFIS Cube Primary Use Airbus flight simulation cockpit control Wingflex A320 RMP Combo Cube Compatibility Simulator Compatible Aircraft Status X-Plane ToLiss A319, A320, A330 and A340; Laminar A330 Supported Microsoft Flight Simulator Fenix A3xx; FlyByWire A320; iniBuilds A320, A321, A330 and A340; Aerosoft A340; Headwind A330 Supported Prepar3D FSLabs A32x Supported Microsoft Flight Simulator FlyByWire A380 Not supported Microsoft Flight Simulator iniBuilds A350 Not supported The panel connects through a single USB connection and can be used independently as a desktop controller. It also integrates with the Wingflex A320 FCU Cube and Wingflex A320 EFIS Cube, including synchronized brightness across the modules. Within the optional Cube console, the panels can share an internal USB hub and run to the computer through one external cable. No universal mounting compatibility with third-party cockpit frames is specified. Aircraft support is integration-specific rather than universal. The panel supports ToLiss, Fenix, FSLabs, FlyByWire A320 and several iniBuilds aircraft, alongside the listed Laminar, Aerosoft and Headwind models. The FlyByWire A380 is not supported, and the iniBuilds A350 is not supported. Reports of differing behaviour between Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane also show why pilots should use the published aircraft list instead of assuming every Airbus add-on will communicate correctly. For gaming platforms, the RMP Combo Cube is intended for Windows PC flight simulation and works with supported aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane and Prepar3D. It relies on PC-side USB communication and Wingflex software for integration and firmware management. It is not listed as compatible with Xbox or PlayStation, so console editions of Microsoft Flight Simulator should not be treated as supported platforms.

Wingflex A320 Combo Cube places the Airbus glareshield essentials into one tidy desktop system, combining EFIS, FCU and multifunction RMP controls with high-contrast dual-colour displays. The knobs click and turn with enough purpose to make heading changes, radio tuning and barometric adjustments feel far better than poking at a virtual cockpit. USB connectivity keeps installation straightforward, while the 13-degree viewing angle brings the panels naturally into sight. It is compact Airbus hardware for pilots whose desks already resemble a mildly concerned electronics workshop. What Sets the Wingflex A320 Combo Cube apart? Three Core Panels Without a Full-Size Glareshield The bundle combines an EFIS, FCU and RMP-based multifunction panel in an 80% scale layout, saving roughly eleven centimetres compared with a full-size arrangement. Reviewers have praised that reduction because it preserves practical control spacing while fitting more comfortably beneath ordinary monitors. The result feels substantial enough for deliberate operation without demanding the sort of desk usually reserved for air-traffic control or an exceptionally ambitious accountant. A Smarter Use of the Right-Hand Position Instead of supplying a second EFIS that a solo pilot may rarely touch, Wingflex fills the right side with a four-in-one panel covering radio management, transponder, TCAS and warning functions. Review feedback identifies this as one of the bundle’s most practical decisions, since it places genuinely useful controls within reach. It sacrifices strict two-seat symmetry, but gains considerably more day-to-day function for single-pilot desktop flying. Clear Displays and Cohesive Night Lighting Dual-colour screens provide sharp contrast against their dark backgrounds, while synchronized brightness allows the EFIS, FCU and RMP sections to behave like one connected panel. Independent testing found the displays notably crisp and the backlighting pleasant in darker rooms. That matters during evening approaches, when deciphering fuzzy digits is an unnecessary challenge and the weather already has enough creative ways to ruin a carefully prepared arrival. Simple Assembly With a Stable Optional Console When paired with the Cube Stand, the three modules connect through internal USB-C cables and a built-in hub, leaving a single cable running to the PC. Reviewers found assembly straightforward and noted that the broad base remained firmly planted while pressing buttons and turning encoders. The stand also gives the separate modules a cleaner, unified appearance, although it is an optional bundle choice rather than standard equipment with every configuration. Pros and Cons Pros Cons Compact layout preserves valuable desktop space. Reduced scale differs from full-size cockpit dimensions. Three modules cover major glareshield functions. Optional console increases the complete setup footprint. Dual-colour displays remain clear in low light. RMP module combines four useful control sections. USB installation requires minimal external interface hardware.

That stand contains an internal USB hub, allowing its three module connections to exit through one PC cable. The bundle pairs naturally with Airbus throttles, sidesticks, MCDUs and overhead panels, but it does not include a full glareshield enclosure and no standard mounting compatibility with third-party cockpit shells is specified. Full compatibility depends on all three modules supporting the selected aircraft, because the EFIS and FCU lists are slightly broader than the RMP list. The complete bundle supports Fenix, ToLiss, FlyByWire A320, FSLabs, several iniBuilds aircraft, Aerosoft A340 and Headwind A330. The FlyByWire A380 and iniBuilds A350 are not fully supported because their RMP integration is currently excluded, even though the EFIS and FCU modules list them individually. For software platforms, the Combo Cube is built for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12 and Prepar3D on Windows PC. It uses Wingflex Bridge for aircraft communication and firmware management. It is not listed as compatible with Xbox or PlayStation, because the required PC-side integration software and dedicated USB panel support are not available on those console platforms.

Please note! The item may take 7-10 business days to ship! Wingflex DAP 500 puts dedicated general aviation autopilot controls right where your hand expects them, combining fully customizable controls with plug-and-play USB connectivity for a clean desktop setup. Instead of reaching for on-screen knobs every few minutes, you can adjust heading, altitude and navigation modes through tactile buttons and encoders that feel purposeful. The aluminum stand, automatic aircraft configuration and ambient-light-controlled backlighting make it equally comfortable during a sunny VFR hop or a late-night IFR approach. What Sets the Wingflex DAP 500 apart? Designed Specifically for General Aviation While many autopilot panels focus on airliners, the DAP 500 is built around the aircraft most GA pilots actually fly. Its control layout suits piston singles, turboprops and light business aircraft, making routine autopilot adjustments feel intuitive. Pilots who regularly fly aircraft like the C172, TBM, Vision Jet or King Air often appreciate hardware that reflects their everyday flying instead of borrowing layouts from transport-category aircraft. Flexible Controls That Adapt to Your Flying Style With twelve programmable push buttons, two pushable rotary encoders and an additional scroll-wheel encoder, the panel can be tailored well beyond its default assignments. Community discussions around configurable hardware consistently highlight this flexibility as a major advantage because it allows pilots to create workflows that match their preferred aircraft rather than forcing identical controls across every simulator. Automatic Aircraft Profiles Reduce Setup Time WingFlex Bridge software automatically configures supported aircraft, helping users spend more time flying and less time assigning controls. Reviewers generally regard automatic profile detection as one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements in modern simulator hardware, particularly for pilots who regularly switch between multiple aircraft during the same week instead of flying a single favourite. Built to Grow With Future Cockpit Expansions The DAP 500 is designed as part of a broader modular ecosystem, with support planned for additional DAP-series expansion panels. Combined with firmware updates delivered through OTA software, it offers a platform that can continue evolving without replacing the core autopilot unit. That modular philosophy appeals to cockpit builders who prefer expanding their simulator gradually rather than purchasing an entire panel stack in one go. Pros and Cons Pros Cons Automatic aircraft profiles simplify supported aircraft setup. Designed primarily for general aviation aircraft. Extensive programmable controls suit different flying styles. Requires WingFlex Bridge for automatic configuration features. Ambient light sensor adjusts backlighting automatically. Aluminum stand provides stable desktop positioning. OTA firmware updates add future functionality.

It is designed for general aviation cockpits and works especially well alongside hardware such as G1000 panels, radio stacks, throttle quadrants and yokes. The panel also supports future DAP-series expansion modules, allowing users to gradually build a more complete general aviation cockpit instead of replacing existing hardware. Compatibility is focused on aircraft equipped with autopilot systems commonly found in general aviation rather than commercial airliners. It supports a broad collection of Asobo, Laminar Research and Microsoft aircraft, including the C172 G1000, King Air, TBM 930, Vision Jet, DA62 and PC-12 NGX. It is not intended for Boeing or Airbus airliner autopilot systems, which use different control layouts and operating logic. The DAP 500 is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane on PC. It connects as a USB peripheral and relies on WingFlex Bridge software for supported aircraft integration. It is not compatible with Xbox or PlayStation consoles, as those platforms do not support dedicated desktop flight simulation control panels of this type.
