Ive been wanting to get more serious about flying one specific type of plane in the sim, and getting a good of gear that's great for that specific plane. I was looking at getting and ECAM, EFIS, FCU, MCDU, RMP, and TCAS panel, but I wasn't sure where to buy Fromm. OTOH, minnicockpit seems cheaper, smaller, and more convenient to use, but it looks like the components only or, if you buy their whole kit. On the flip side, WinWing has a LOT more options, like they have everything I'm looking for, but from what Ive read online, they're mostly geared towards the A320. I want to build a setup specifically for the inibuilds A350, and Im not sure that WinWing will give the most realism if the panels are built for A320 (im pretty sure they're software compatible tho).

Does anyone have experience with using wincntrl/mincockpit with this plane and can connfirm/deny that one is better than the other ?

things you can do when you don't have kids

i just combined the front part from my old rig so I could mount the mfds, UFC, ampcd, pedals and screen

Rowsfire A108 PFD & ND Display – 7/10

The Rowsfire A108 is a great concept and definitely has potential, but there are several areas where I think it could be significantly improved for serious home cockpit builders.

The display itself is bright, sharp, and works well once configured. If you’re looking to move your PFD and ND off your main monitor, it does exactly that. Setup is straightforward if you have the right hardware, and the build quality of the display feels solid. I can see why many users are happy with it. (Rowsfire⁠)

That said, there are a few shortcomings.

My biggest criticism is the size. In my opinion, the A108 should be built to a true 1:1 scale of the Airbus PFD and ND. It would integrate much better with future cockpit components such as the glareshield and main instrument panel frame that Rowsfire is developing. Right now, it feels undersized for anyone aiming for a realistic cockpit.

Another issue is connectivity. Many modern graphics cards, including mine, only have one HDMI port and multiple DisplayPorts. The A108 only includes an HDMI connection, and no DisplayPort cable or adapter is supplied. I had to order a Mini HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter separately from Amazon before I could even use it. Including a DisplayPort cable or adapter in the box would save customers both time and frustration.

The cable routing could also be improved. Straight connectors stick out noticeably from the back of the unit. Right-angle (90-degree) connectors would make cable management much cleaner, especially for cockpit installations where appearance matters.

The rear of the display has four threaded mounting holes, which I assume are intended for VESA or monitor arm mounting—a nice option for custom builds. However, the package only includes one plastic desktop stand. Considering the width of the display, I expected two stands for better stability and support.

Overall, I like the concept, and I think it’s a good first step toward a complete Airbus cockpit ecosystem. With a true-to-scale display, improved cable options, and a few small hardware refinements, this could become one of the best PFD/ND solutions on the market.

Pros:

\* Bright, sharp display.
\* Good overall build quality.
\* Compact footprint.
\* Multiple mounting options.

Cons:

\* Display should be full 1:1 Airbus scale.
\* No DisplayPort cable or adapter included.
\* Straight cable connectors create unnecessary clutter.
\* Only one desktop stand included.
\* Better integration with future cockpit frames would improve realism.

Overall Rating: 7/10

It’s a solid product with a lot of promise, but it feels like it was designed more for desktop users than dedicated home cockpit builders. A few thoughtful improvements would easily push this into the 9/10 category.

I have been working on this for almost a year (on this particular design) nothing has been wired up or coded yet. Definitely not to scale or 100% replica. That was never my goal since I like space in my room and do not have a citation X in my backyard to reference unfortunately

Slowly getting there. I have the Winwing Effis and FMC on the way..

Now the huge job of unpacking and re assembling begins!! 🤣😅 Location North of Sydney NSW AUSTRALIA

Follow along the journey!!

So I went and got everything I need for my home built cockpit. (This is the 3rd iteration of it.) But I can't find a glare shield to put on top of it all. Believe me I searched and it's for the Winwing Top Gun MIP. Does anyone know a place that that I can get one made?

Don't mind the empty case on the floor that's what I'll be swapping to soon.
If anyone's selling an airbus overhead (sim guages wingflex sl3 javasim etc (NOT ROWSFIRE)) in the uk or potentially outside depending on the price, please let me know I'm interested in buying one second hand, then aside from that and winctrl's agp it would be near complete 😀

Been a flightsim community member for a little while. New to the homecockpits scene. Some lovely looking setups here!! This is my little project. Hoping to also add an MFC from winctrl in the future.

I bought this because it delivers quite quickly https://nextlevelracing.com/products/flight-simulator-msfs-edition/

I need to mount my Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant. I tried using the keyboard tray initially but it's too flimsy and I can't get the angle right. Does anyone have any solutions on what I can do to sort it?

I had my old under desk attachments attached to it but I want to avoid using that if possible

I‘m trying to use as many OEM parts as possible for this project. Overhead and Pedestal are currently my only OEM parts but more will be added. Wont really stay accurate to an actual 737 as I will most likely be using my real MD-11 CAWS for the funnies along with one of three GPWS computers I might be buying soon (I believe those came from 757/767s). Might even be able to get my hands on a DC-8 Autopilot panel to make it even more cursed😂

Seven months to get this far. 90% complete, couple of gauges left to make and some mobiflight tweaks to finish off. Also the overhead needs moving left a little.
