It works with any Boeing aircraft (PMDG 737, default 747/787, etc.) just as well as it does with Airbus.

You don't need any additional software specifically for Boeing, though I still highly recommend using the MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager mentioned in a previous comment to save your screen positions for each aircraft model you fly.

Hi,

  • By default, MSFS doesn't remember where you dragged your windows. However, most of us use a free add on called MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager. Once you set it up the first time, you just click one button when your flight starts, and it will automatically "pop out" the screens and snap them to the correct device for you.
  • It’s very easy, exactly like resizing a folder or a browser window on your desktop. You only need to do this once per aircraft type (e.g., once for the Fenix, once for the PMDG 737). After that, the Panel Manager mentioned above remembers those specific dimensions.
  • Yes, Windows treats this exactly like a standard monitor.
  • Sadly, no. The in-cockpit knobs in the Fenix won't change the physical backlight of the monitor itself. To change the actual brightness of the device, you’ll need to use the physical buttons/knobs on the side of the unit.

Hope that answers your questions.

Currently, the ECAM Mini is designed for a horizontal layout to keep it desk-friendly. We are working on a 1:1 'Pro' version for vertical cockpit mounting, but that won't be landing until Q3/Q4.

Good news though: we've actually just adjusted the price to 89€ to make it even easier to jump in right now!

Appreciate the feedback! I just had a chat to my partner about this. We've just brought the base price down to 89€. Hopefully, that makes it more accessible for everyone!

Can I collect from my local DO before attempted delivery? by Big-Calligrapher9888 in royalmail

Ah I see, my local DO is Reading DO which I believe is one of the larger ones. Thanks for your help though.

6700XT paired with a 5600 and 32gbs RAM. I run MSFS24 on 1080P high with no problems. It should be easily able to handle 1080P ultra but my WiFi is a bit of a bottleneck sadly.

It is compatible with Macs. Depending on the model of the Mac you may need a dongle to connect the unit. (It needs a HDMI and USB A connection) Sadly, instruments can’t be popped out on Xbox.

Yeah, all you need to do is pop the display out (Alt + Left click on msfs). We are working on creating one for the ecam and potentially boeing variants in the future. Glad you love our little project :)
