    Yes please… do so!
    Used to fly the A320 series but already quite a few years ago, but feel the Fenix is absolutely fantastic and very immersive. I also love the FsLabs A320 for P3D and the ToLiss for X-Plane. They are all add-ons pushed to a very advanced level.

    Don’t know how the Brunner Sidestick behaves, but knowing the pedals I just can imagine that after configuring them properly they can add lot of realism. Just remember that the Sidestick don’t move… Airbus aircraft having auto trim, the side stick is just about the force you need to apply, but it’s not connected at all to the trim, always centers on the same center position. CP & FO sidesticks are not even connected to each other, so absolutely no feedback in regards to what the other guy is doing.
    So I assume the Brunner sidestick will be relatively easy to configure via CLS2SIM for any Airbus aircraft.

    Pedals are useable, but they work just like any other non-force feedback rudder pedals system. They just don’t synch with Fenix A320, meaning that pedals remain centered in the same position when trimming the rudder (they don’t move).

    My aim is to practice engine failures like in the real airplane. So when your engine fails you first need to center the beta target (triangle on top of the PFD) by applying the appropriate amount of rudder deflection, then trim to neutralize the pressure required to keep the beta target centered (if removing your feet from the pedals), and then switch on the autopilot. Once autopilot is ON, rudder pedals should then automatically move according to the trim position, so that when you disconnect the AP the aircraft stays in the trimmed condition.

    No, as for the moment I only fly Airbus aircraft (real life airbus pilot) so I don’t need the Brunner yoke (which by the way I have seen in action and seems fantastic as well). My thrustmaster sidestick serves the purpose pretty well right now.

    Definitely, if you have the chance to write to Fenix and also to Brunner team once you get your unit and are facing the same issues, I really hope that will help to get both sides to work together to make both pedals and add-on compatible!

    Hello Jivan,

    Not really yet, I have sent couple of messages to Brunner Helpdesk, still waiting for an answer. At Fenix they seem willing to do something about, but also goes a bit slow. They have escalated my request but let’s see what they will be able to do. Just hoping that both parties (Brunner’s and Fenix’s teams, as well as other add-on devolopers) will be willing to join forces to make things work.

    I was a bit surprised to know that at Brunner they don’t officially support any third party aircraft, as the whole magic of Brunner hardware is to have them work properly with high end add-ons. Default more complex aircraft just lack of realism (not the case for GA aircrafts though).
    Of course, I also perfectly understand that supporting third party add-ons is not possible if the developers don’t share the required technical details in order to make products compatible, but having received an e-mail from Fenix stating that they have escalated my request regarding the compatibility of the Brunner pedals gave me suddenly a good shot of hope, so fingers crossed!

    Keep me posted once you receive your pedals and if you manage to have them properly configured.

    Thank you again!!! and great to have it now as a pdf. I will have a look if there is anything that I might have missed, but that is in my understanding what I have been following

    Thank you for your answer Eliteflyer.

    I have been following the “HTML Help” if that’s the document you are referring to.
    Unfortunately no joy for now.
