The Chinese company Winwing has just announced a new line-up of panels for simulator users at the FSElite stage at FlightSimWeekend 2025, happening in Lelystad, the Netherlands. The team has shown panels that will directly function with all the existing products from their line-ups.
Winwing has started its own presentation with an announcement of new products for the Ursa Minor line-up. This includes airliner controls. Starting with Airbus, we can expect new thrust levers for Airbus series aircraft, called Ursa Minor Airline Throttle. It will feature authentic backlighting, realistic detents and even a change of configuration with one button. Changing the configuration will allow you to use the throttle without detents. The price will start at approximately €117.
The next panel will pair the throttle. Ursa Minor Airline Throttle Panel is going to include the flaps lever, speed brake lever, parking brake and rudder trim knob, backlit with realistic lighting and an authentic mechanical feel. This panel is going to cost approximately €98.
Winwing already has an Airbus FCU panel in its repertoire, and with the recent release of Boeing PFP (Panel of Flight Plan, or simply, FMC), it was just a matter of time before they announced their own recreation of Boeing 737s MCP panel, called MIP Airline PAP 3 Panel. As we know from their branding, the number three indicates that it is a direct recreation of the Boeing 737 counterpart.
This recreation of the MCP promises to have a realistic control experience, and full backlighting and is going to be compatible with wide-body aircraft signal indicators as well. It is going to retail at approximately €138. This is only a base version and can be upgraded by you, using the Autothrust Magnetic Switch. It will retail at around €45, and the change from the standard switch to the magnetic one is quite straightforward, according to the presentation. You can also choose to have the MIP PAP 3 Panel come pre-installed with the magnetic switch at a higher retail price, costing about €183.
The EFIS family is getting bigger, too. with Winwing announcing the MIP Airline PDC 3N Panel for the Boeing 737 aircraft series. This panel will authentically replicate the airliner’s EFIS. Once released, it will retail at €77.
Moving to combat, a new MIP Combat 13 CNI Management Panel for combat simulator users. It is similar to the Airbus MCDU and Boeing PFP but has a different colour scheme, specified for combat simmers. This is going to retail at €118.
Next, Winwing announced a motorised combat joystick base in the new Cyber Taurus line-up, focused on electronic load control, with high precision and seamless integration. It promises to offer a professional-grade electronic load, delivering over 20Nm of torque. Its retail price is set at around €379.
There are also going to be two more joystick bases, that are currently in testing. One will deliver over 60Nm of torque, and the other is going to be a bit weaker, with 16Nm of torque. These will come in a package, that will cost €640.
The Cyber Taurus series will also get electronic load control rudder pedals, that will work on the same principle, with powerful force and high precision, delivering over 170 Newtons of power. The price is set at €732.
Since the Winwing team still hasn’t released any official Boeing controls, the Cyber Taurus line-up also brought a force-feedback yoke, that seems to be based on a Boeing 737. The price is yet to be announced.
Overall, this has been a big announcement from Winwing, and everybody who looks forward to affordable and authentic cockpit controls for their home cockpits and simulator set-ups has a lot of stuff to look forward to, once all of this is released to the public.
