Flight Panels has released three new Stream Deck profiles for the Synaptic A220, giving users physical access to hundreds of the aircraft’s controls in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The Synaptic A220 finally arrived on the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace in August following several years of development. Having originally started life as an open-source community project in 2021, the aircraft later became a commercial product under iniBuilds and features custom fly-by-wire logic, Pro Line Fusion avionics and a detailed systems simulation.
Flight Panels’ new Aircraft Profile features more than 515 custom-designed buttons across 19 pages, covering systems including flight management, avionics, communications, electrical, fuel and environmental controls.
For systems not fully exposed by the aircraft, Flight Panels has also developed a custom connector for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This includes support for the A220’s Control Tuning Panel (CTP), which is used for managing radio communications and navigation.
The Aircraft Profile includes both 15-key and 32-key layouts and supports the Stream Deck XL, MK.2, Stream Deck Mobile and Corsair Xeneon Edge. It is priced at £25.
A separate Autopilot Profile has been designed specifically for the Stream Deck +, making use of its rotary dials, physical buttons and LCD touchscreen. Heading, altitude, speed and vertical navigation controls can all be manipulated through the hardware rather than using the mouse in the virtual cockpit. It costs £15 from their store.
Finally, AeroLens Pro Enhanced for the A220 adds 24 custom camera positions to the aircraft, including tail, nose wheel, cabin, overwing and engine views. The camera profile is available for the Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck Mobile and Corsair Xeneon Edge for £20.
All three products are also included in the Synaptic Super Bundle, alongside the Flight Panels Profile Switcher, with a 20% saving compared with purchasing everything individually.
The profiles are compatible with both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 and are available now from the Flight Panels Store.
