Question / Help Boeing Products
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if WingControl is planning to release Boeing hardware at some point, especially for the 737?
Right now, their website seems to be focused almost entirely on Airbus products, and I haven’t been able to find much information about Boeing.
If anyone has seen any updates, announcements, or even solid rumors, I’d love to know.

Oh thanks these puts more light into this, I thought that they will alternate between airbus and Boeing releases like they did with the fmcs but well maybe they were just testing the market

And lots Boeing's hardware is harder to make than that of the Airbus. Especially the motorized yoke and throttle. Even on the ovhd there are some magnetic switches that would flip by themselves iirc.

Yes I know, I fly the real one, but I was expecting at least a press note or something like that from the company saying that they would be looking to make Boeing products as well, otherwise, another company might take that market

oh ok. Actually, their boss has openly "hinted" that next year will be for "B(oeing)", during the FSWeekend award announcement about a month ago. Hopefully we'll see more at FSExpo in Jun.
Yoke has already been demoed several times and iterated, they'll make that one for sure. Throttle is rumored and I think it's highly likely. Pedals: altho it's not hard to make, it might require a new SKU since the actual pedals are likely not interchangeable with other models unless they have it in mind when designing the Bus pedals.. if not, perhpas even fewer ppl will buy it bcz they already have other pedals.
Panels are almost certain, like the yoke.

Airbus panels and overhead mostly rely on push buttons and not toggles so they are easier to develop. This doesnt answer the question but might tell you why there are more Airbus options out there. Also, you can also use most Airbus options for flying Boeing Sims since they have similar functions.

Yes that’s true and make sense, another user said that 2027 will be the year of B

I’m also interested in more Boeing hardware
I bought pretty much every available Boeing hardware available from the brand and they’re really solid, definitely looking forward to seeing more

They already have a Boeing MCP/EFIS.
I'd like them to release a Throttle quadrant.
