Winctrl (formerly Winwing) has unveiled a new Airbus A320 FCU panel featuring realistic haptic feedback and native integration with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The unit is designed for cockpit builders and serious enthusiasts, with a price point under $500.
Winctrl, the hardware manufacturer formerly known as Winwing, has announced its latest product: a high-fidelity Airbus A320 Flight Control Unit (FCU) panel. This new unit is designed to replicate the look and feel of the real A320 FCU, with backlit buttons, rotary encoders with detents, and a new haptic feedback system that simulates the tactile response of the actual controls. The panel connects via USB and requires no external power.
The FCU is fully compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and supports native integration with the default A320neo as well as popular third-party add-ons like the Fenix Simulations A320. Winctrl has worked closely with Asobo Studio to ensure seamless plug-and-play functionality, including automatic detection and configuration. The unit also includes a mounting bracket for standard cockpit rails.
Pricing is set at $499, with pre-orders opening on October 15, 2026. Shipping is expected to begin in December. Winctrl has also hinted at future products, including a full overhead panel and a pedestal for the A320. For cockpit builders, this FCU represents a significant step forward in affordable, high-quality replica hardware.
