7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Flight Simulator Throttle and PAC Panel, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surfaces. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the acrylic and metal finishes.
• Moving Parts: The throttle and PAC levers are designed for durability. Avoid applying excessive force beyond normal operating conditions. Do not force plastic components, such as the parking brake, without engaging their proper lift or pull mechanisms.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Management: Ensure USB and other connection cables are not kinked or strained to prevent damage.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your WINWING URSA MINOR 32, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Recognized by PC:
  1. Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the device and your PC.
  2. Try a different USB port on your PC.
  3. If using the cascade function, ensure the PAC panel is correctly connected to the throttle unit, and the throttle unit is connected to the PC.
  4. Restart your PC.
  5. Check the device manager on your PC to see if the device is listed and if there are any driver issues. Reinstall SimAppPro if necessary.
• Controls Not Responding in Simulator:
  1. Ensure SimAppPro is running and the device is detected within the software.
  2. Verify that the correct aircraft profile is selected in SimAppPro and your flight simulator.
  3. Check the control assignments within your flight simulator's settings to ensure the throttle and PAC inputs are correctly mapped.
  4. Calibrate the device if a calibration option is available in SimAppPro or your simulator.
• Backlighting Not Working:
  1. Ensure the device is properly connected and powered on.
  2. Check SimAppPro settings for any backlighting controls or synchronization options.
  3. Verify that your simulator's settings allow for external hardware lighting synchronization.
• Physical Damage to Plastic Parts (e.g., Parking Brake, Trigger):
  1. Always engage the PULL & TURN mechanism for the parking brake before rotating it.
  2. Avoid applying excessive force to the trigger beyond the specified 40 N.
  3. If a part is damaged, contact WINWING support for replacement options.
