One of the standout presentations at FSExpo 2025 Friday announcements session was WINWING which has been busy building out a vast array of hardware to support both combat flight sim and civil aviation enthusiasts. A lot of the hardware announced yesterday was about filling out a home Airbus cockpit, however, combat flight simmers were not left wanting either with a very interesting collaboration with Eagle Dynamics and the DCS: MiG-29. Let’s have a look at it all!

Airbus cockpit panels and hardware

Before I launch into this, I want to mention that there are ways to get hardware setups of an Airbus or Boeing (typically A320 or 737) but they tend to run in the tens of thousands of dollar range. What WINWING is doing here are offering a bunch of accessories that can be brought together to give you a good chunk of the most used parts of a cockpit for quite a bit less – though obviously buying all of them adds up.

Yesterday they showed off the ACP 32, ATC 32, AGP 32, ECAM 32 and NWS L 32. All sized and modeled to look quite a bit like their equivalent counterparts in an Airbus A320 series airliner. The NWS tiller is really quite interesting as those are rarer to see done by hardware manufacturers.

All of this hardware is intended to be managed through the company’s SimAppPro so you should be able to plug everything together and get to your favourite Airbus of choice.

New rudder pedals

Five different options for rudder pedals was shown off as well with three of them being aimed at airliner flyers while the other two are combat oriented pedals.

Orion is your standard setup while the Cyber Taurus options boast two levels of force feedback motor. The same goes for the Cyber Taurus combat pedals with the more expensive option reportedly having more force available to it (you can see the bigger unit even in the graphics).

Eagle Dynamics MiG-29 collaboration

Lots of excitement out there for DCS: MiG-29, the full fidelity version of the MiG-29, coming to DCS World. That apparently includes the WINWING folks who have struck a collaboration between them and Eagle Dynamics to make use of the detailed scans they have of a MiG-29 throttle grip and joystick grip to bring us new grip options for their combat HOTAS and joystick solutions.

Apparently there will be “exclusive system-level adaptation” which may well be similar to the company’s collaboration with Thrustmaster and their Warthog series for the A-10C back some years ago (if you plug one in, it’ll come pre-configured with all of the appropriate controls mapped).

Work in progress yolk and cockpit setups

Also on display? Cyber Taurus Yoke with what appears to be a free standing floor unit that uses force feedback systems to give you an authentic yolk experience. Price has not been announced but its clear that WINWING wants to offer you a whole cockpit experience if you want it (and have the cash to spare).

Earlier this month, they released the following mockups showing off what I think is their aspirationation goals. Many of these products have been out for a year or a few years now but it really looks like the idea is that you can put all of this together and create your favourite cockpit – one piece at a time if that’s how you have to do it.

Production issues and delays

Like other hardware manufacturers, the biggest issue that WINWING seems to be having these days is producing all of the stuff that they make. While the company has definitely been shipping hardware (this is not vapour-ware, I know people with their gear), keeping up with demand has been difficult and the company has clearly interested a lot of simmers on both sides of the combat and civil side of the experience.

In yesterday’s announcement there was discussion about a new production facility they are building complete with a concept art. There wasn’t much in the way of details but I’m sure it will be located somewhere near the company’s headquarters in Chengdu, China.
