Descrizione
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.

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.
