I have two separate sim computers. One is for Boeings and the other is for Airbuses. I have all the Wnctrl hardware for both. I jump from one to the other every couple of days, so I haven't had to unlearn anything. I was a Boeing pilot for 25 years in the real world, so there was definitely a learning curve involved, but since I have access to the Airbus flight manuals, it was fairly easy to transition. My only issue seems to be with landings. The Fenix Airbus seems to drift sideways on touchdown. This doesn't happen with my Boeing sim. Since I've never seen any comments on this, it's probably something on my end. Fenix and Airbus make some nice products.

I submitted the compatibility question to the Fenix forum and was told that all the WINCTRL hardware would work just fine with the A350. One thing about this hobby is that there is no shortage of conflicting information out there. I purchased the A350 a while back when it was on sale. I haven't downloaded it yet since there still seem to be some bothersome bugs, according to the forum posts.

If it's a quality product, it will sell and simmers will love it. If not, it will bomb. I'd really like to see a realistic version of this aircraft. QW was a disappointment.

I've never seen this with any other product offered by Orbx. They can keep it. I'll stick with the imaginesim version which is good enough for me.

I beg your forgiveness

That always happens to me too. If I have an issue, I make a post and then all is well.

I can fetch a flight plan, but it's usually not the one generated by Simbrief. The winds never uplink. I have my Simbrief ID set properly, and I always hit the "Initialize Flight" button on the EFB. The PMDG flight plans and wind uplinks are always correct.

I got the Premium Deluxe version, since the money really wasn't an issue. I have to agree with the guys that got the Standard version, though, since I really don't use the aircraft. I use some of the stock airports, but I also had to disable several others to avoid conflicts with the addons that I purchased. I also agree that it's always best to buy addons from the developer, or you can also use Orbx and Contrail since updates are readily available from both.

There are tons of videos available on YouTube that are very helpful in resolving all sorts of issues such as yours. I use them constantly to investigate problems that I encounter. I would recommend a channel called "IslandSimPilot". This guy is very knowledgeable and has numerous videos that are very clear and concise. I suggest you check him out.

Airliners are my choice, since I did that in the real world for many years. I also instructed, did some charter flying, and flew for a few regional outfits back when they actually used GA aircraft. This was well before the Regional Jet era began. I can certainly see how GA flying would be enjoyable in the sim.

I'm seeing a 502 error, not a 503. I'll just wait till tomorrow and see if it's working. Thanks.

That's the first place I looked. Nothing there.

Is anyone, besides me, here in the U.S. having trouble with the WNCTRL website. I keep getting a screen that says, "Bad Gateway". Is this something new, or am I late to the party?

My only issue with the WNCTRL products I have is that the lights always come on full bright on the FCU and the EFIS panels when I start SimAppPro. I've tried different settings, but it keeps happening. It's not really a big deal though, I just turn them down before I fly. The lights also come on sometimes when SimAppPro or the sim aren't even running. It has to something I'm doing wrong since I haven't seen any other posts on the matter.

This sort of reminds me of the QW787. I pointed out many obvious items that needed correcting via the customer forum. I never got any responses and eventually the entire project seemed to be abandoned by the developer. It also reminds me of the time Amazon tried to get into the Cell Phone business. I was one of the victims of that fiasco.
