Solid hardware, but warranty support is an unknownI own the WinCtrl Airbus EFIS, FCU, MCDU, Boeing EFIS, MCP, and rudder pedal set. I'm happy with all of them from a hardware quality standpoint. SimAppPro, WinCtrl's hardware configurator, makes adding hardware truly a plug-and-play experience. The software, for X-Plane, sets up the keybinds perfectly. I don't have to fidget with mapping anything. The same goes for MSFS. I wish all hardware add-ons were as easy to configure. The products are well made, and every one came with a quality testing acknowledgement. The price point for this hardware makes it a no-brainer for those who fly the aircraft the hardware supports. However, I haven't had to file a warranty claim yet, so I can't speak to how WinCtrl handles those situations - which is an important consideration given the investment in their products. I did use their support system once back when they were WinWing for a non-warranty issue, and found the user experience needed improvement. That said, the products themselves have been reliable so far. Rating: 5 stars for product quality, with the caveat that warranty experience is untested.

WinCtrl, formerly WinWing, is a Chinese manufacturer of high-fidelity, all-metal flight simulation hardware. The company initially gained a strong reputation among combat flight simmers for its realistic and robust HOTAS (Hands On Throttle-And-Stick) systems, which replicate the controls of aircraft like the F/A-18 and F-16 for DCS World.
In recent years, WinCtrl/WinWing has expanded significantly into the civil aviation market, becoming a key player for MSFS and X-Plane users. They now offer an extensive and popular lineup of 1:1 replica panels for both Airbus and Boeing airliners. This includes their MIP (Main Instrument Panel) series, featuring MCPs, FCUs, EFIS panels, and fully functional MCDU, and FMS units that are prized by serious simmers for their build quality and immersion. Their products are managed through their own "SimAppPro" software, which handles device configuration and simulator integration.
WinCtrl/WinWing single-handedly changed the price point of medium to high-fidelity civil aviation hardware, and they continue to write their story with hardware announced (2025) but yet to be released.
