External EFIS


Standalone E/WD and SD for Wilco Airbus Series

The external EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument Systems) proposed here are stand-alone applications, .exe files. The EFIS connect to Flight Simulator (FS2004 or FSX) through FSUIPC to display the necessary information. These applications can also run on a separate PC if WideFS is used (WideFS sends the FSUIPC data on a remote machine on the network). These EFIS are especially interesting for users who plan to build their own cockpit based on Wilco Airbus aircrafts or for those who are lucky enough to have several PCs dedicated to simulation. External EFIS available at this time are the Engine/Warning Display (E/WD) and the System Display (SD), also known as upper and lower ECAMs.

External EFIS can be moved and sized as you wish, displayed with or without menu bar, with or without window borders. The configuration of each window is persisted so that each time an EFIS application is lauched, the window opens at the same place, with the same size and with the same options as the last time it was closed. This is especially important for users who have very specific displays accurately positioned on the screen.

Important Notes:

External Engine/Warning Display (E/WD)

The Engine/Warning Display, also called "Upper ECAM" (Electronic Centrelized Aircraft Monitor). This screen is located on the center part of the cockpit so that it can be seen by the Captain and the First Officer. It displays engine information and alert messages for the crew.

The E/WD proposed here is an external stand-alone application that requires FSUIPC (registered) to connect to Flight Simulator (FS2004 or FSX) and get the necessary data. WideFS can be used to run this application on a remote PC.

The current version of the E/WD is limited version of the real E/WD. It only displays standard information provided by FSIUPC through standard offsets. The Airbus-specific information is not displayed on this E/WD. This will change in a future version.

The external E/WD can be downloaded for free and used for 5 minutes after Flight Simulator startup. You can buy a license key to get rid of this limitation. For more information about buying this product, please contact me here.

Note: The current version of  the E/WD does not require the FSUIPC_Exporter.

External System Display (SD)

The System Display (SD), also known as "Lower ECAM", is located in the middle part of the cockpit, below the E/WD. It is dedicated to the display of system information pages, selected automatically according to the context or manually using the ECAM Control Panel pushbuttons.

Just like the E/WD described in the previous section, the external SD is an stand-alone application (executable file) that can run on a separate machine if you wish.

The current version of the SD limited, it can only display Flight Simulator standard information provided by FSUIPC. The Wilco Airbus-specific information are not displayed in this version. As the SD selected page is not available through FSUIPC, only the FUEL page can be displayed. This will change in the future versions of the external SD.
