Got mine yesterday and very impressed with it so far; thanks for telling me I could dial down the brightness, as that was one complaint. It's a bit of work to get it to communicate with MSFS the first time (unplugging peripherals, doing virtual device mapping in their app, restarting MSFS but after that no issues). My only issue is that mine blinks from time to time, not sure what causes it, but sure a firmware will fix it down the road. For $99 USD, it's a steal. Fenix was never no much fun.

Cannot justify MiniFcu cost even if I could get one. Have a few WinWing devices for DCS and they have served me well and fittings have also been solid. As UK customer usually buying from USA the new UK store is god send. Pre-ordered and really looking forward to the whole set being available. Sim app pro takes some getting used to but it’s very useful once you get the hang of it. Thx for the video makes me even happier I pre-ordered.

Does anyone know if it is compatible with XP 12. I can't seem to find any info weather it is or not.

To be honest I don't know but I'd assume not as the software specifically seeks MSFS. If xplane supports Axis and Ohs though it might work as lots have connected various aircraft using that

Have you downloaded SimAppPro and got Version 1.13.0beta minimum? It should let you also update the firmware for the unit as well within the program and it needs to run in Admin mode. Do this before launching the sim, then boot it up and it should work

Enjoy it when it comes, I have both this and the miniFCU as compared in the video and tbh I much prefer this WinWing. The positioning and size of the knobs are much more natural and easier to use, and it's a LOT cheaper!
