Winctrl Launches Force Feedback Yoke for Professional Simmers
By Rachel Morrison · · 2 min read
Winctrl (formerly Winwing) has unveiled its new Force Feedback Yoke, delivering realistic control loading and programmable detents. The yoke is compatible with MSFS 2024, X-Plane 12, and Prepar3D.
Winctrl, the hardware manufacturer formerly known as Winwing, has announced its first force feedback yoke, the Winctrl FF-Yoke. Designed for serious simmers and cockpit builders, the yoke uses dual brushless motors to provide realistic control loading, including stick shaker, buffet, and aerodynamic feedback. It offers 180 degrees of pitch and roll travel, with adjustable force curves and programmable detents for takeoff, climb, and approach configurations.
The FF-Yoke includes a built-in autopilot disengage button, trim switches, and a hat switch, all housed in a metal chassis with a realistic Boeing 737-style yoke grip. It connects via USB-C and includes a dedicated power supply. The yoke is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, and Prepar3D, with native support for PMDG, Fenix, and iniBuilds aircraft. Winctrl's software, SimForce, allows per-aircraft profiles and telemetry-driven feedback.
Pre-orders start on October 5, 2026, with shipping expected in Q1 2027. The FF-Yoke is priced at $899.99, with a bundle including the Winctrl throttle quadrant available for $1,199.99. This launch positions Winctrl as a direct competitor to Honeycomb Aeronautical's Alpha Flight Controls and Thrustmaster's TCA Yoke, though the force feedback feature sets it apart for realism-focused simmers.
