If you’re looking to extend or start your home cockpit hardware, then WINWING may have a solution for those of you seeking a Boeing-style MCP. The PAP 3 – Panel of Auto Pilot 3, is a 1:1 replica of the Collins Mode Control Panel found on the 737 line of aircraft.
Currently the PAP 3 is available to order. It features all the buttons, switches and knobs found on the real-world unit and connects to your simulator via a single USB cable. The unit has been built to also feel like a Boeing-unit, with realistic tactile feeling, duel-colour backlights, realistic light sensors and an authentic DISENGAGE disconnect switch.
WINWING has opened up orders globally for those seeking their own hardware. This new hardware is priced competitively at $149.95 (excluding sales tax/duties) on their Global site, which also excludes shipping. However, there are some free shipping options available if you purchase from their EU site. Local prices also fluctuate depending on your region, and there may be some discrepancies in exchange rates. Full pricing details can be found on the WINWING website.
In addition to being able to order the PAP 3, a magnetic A/T ARM switch is also available to pre-order, along with a PAP 3 Magnetic version (which includes the magnetic A/T ARM switch as standard).
The team at WINWING has a huge roadmap ahead, following their announcements at FSWeekend. We’re excited to see what they bring with them to FlightSimExpo this June.
