UFKsim, a new flight simulation hardware company with an international team, has officially launched its first product for the flight simulation community, and orders are now open.
With their debut product, UFKsim is making a bold entrance into a the flight simulation hardware market: an Airbus-style tiller, complete with the captain’s steering console. In a real aircraft, the tiller is a small, hand-operated control used to steer the airplane while on the ground. It allows the pilot to control the nose wheel, enabling precise turns during taxiing, takeoff, and landing. Unlike rudder pedals, which offer only limited steering, the tiller provides sharper turns and greater maneuverability – especially useful for navigating tight taxiways.
Promising Premium Build Quality and Easy Setup
The Airbus A320-style Steering Console by UFKsim is designed to deliver a highly realistic and immersive flight simulation experience. It features an all-metal gimble mechanism for smooth and precise steering and a plug-and-play USB connection for easy setup. The console is compatible with major simulators, including Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 12, and more. Built with durable aluminum housing, it also features a realistic backlit panel, independent floor lighting, a working pedal disc button, a vent grill, and a trash tray with a lid – offering an authentic cockpit feel.
The steering console is available in both captain and first officer versions (upon request) on their website. Priced at $299 (excluding VAT), it is currently marketed as a limited-time pre-order deal in their YouTube launch video.
