WINWING has shared two significant updates for enthusiasts looking to expand or upgrade their home cockpit hardware.
They’ve announced pricing for the Cyber Taurus HOTAS system and opened orders for the PAP 3 Autopilot, PAP 3 MAG, and AT MAG switch — all designed for PC simmers.
WINWING PAP 3 and PAP 3 MAG
The PAP 3, or Panel Auto Pilot 3, is a 1:1 replica of the Collins Mode Control Panel found on the Boeing 737 family of aircraft. Launched on March 28, 2025, at 2:00 AM UTC, the PAP 3 offers a standard version priced at $149.95 USD on the Global Shipping site, with regional variations such as €143.95 EUR in the EU and £154.45 GBP in the UK.
Aimed at both MSFS 2020 and 2024 families and X-Plane 12 pilots, WINWING is maintaining a list of current compatibility and continuing compatibility updates for aircraft, with adjustments planned throughout the product life.
Existing fully compatible aircraft featured at launch include the PMDG 737 and 777, the iFly 737 MAX for MSFS 2020, and the Asobo 737 for MSFS2024. The Zibo 737 and Laminar Research’s 737 are both compatible with the unit in X-Plane 12.
Although initially announced as primarily aimed at the 737 family, WINWING has also said its PAP 3 series is designed, and will be usable, with appropriate releases for the 777 and 747 series aircraft as well.
The PAP 3 MAG, which includes a magnetic A/T ARM switch as an upgrade for those wanting a real-to-life feel, starts at $199.90 USD globally, while the standalone AT MAG switch is priced at $49.95 USD. WINWING confirmed that PAP 3 units were in stock for immediate shipping on the Global Shipping site, while the MAG versions and AT MAG switch were opened for pre-orders.
WINWING Cyber Taurus Base – Prices Announced
The line-up announcements of WINWING’s hardware portfolio didn’t stop there, though. With the hotly anticipated Cyber Taurus series of load-balanced joystick bases being recently announced and subsequently displayed at the FSWeekend show earlier this year, sim enthusiasts finally got some pricing information about these new multi-function hardware platforms.
Initial pricing and force capabilities have been announced for both the D (direct drive) and R (reducer) variants, and more details and components are expected to be released soon. Pricing for the Global Shipping warehouse is anticipated to be released at:
- R22 – $419.95 USD
- R40 – $549.95 USD
- R60 – $699.95 USD
- D16 -$699.95 USD
Aimed at the simmer who wants a “training grade” experience and the ability to use yoke, joystick, or a combination of hardware with the base, WINWING hopes that Cyber Taurus will bring an, as yet unseen, level of realism to the home cockpit at an affordable price point.
WINWING is still confirming some product details and specifications. We will be certain to report on these as soon as further details become available.
