If you’ve been following WINCTRL’s trajectory, you’ll know the company has been methodically filling in the gaps of a full Airbus home cockpit setup. The FCU, EFIS, MCDU, and pedestal panels have all arrived over the past couple of years, and just last month at FSWeekend 2026 they revealed the OVHD32 SOP, a full Airbus overhead panel priced at $349.95.
Today they’re adding another piece: the 32 TCAS, a dedicated physical transponder panel aimed squarely at simmers who fly regularly on online networks.
For anyone spending time on VATSIM or IVAO, the transponder is one of the most frequently used panels in any airliner cockpit. Entering squawk codes, switching TCAS modes, pressing IDENT when ATC requests it: it’s routine work, and until now it’s meant reaching for the mouse. The 32 TCAS moves all of that to a physical panel on your desk.
What the panel includes
WINCTRL describes the 32 TCAS as a 1:1 full-structure molded design, built to the true scale of the real aircraft unit. The panel includes a numeric keypad for squawk code entry, multi-stage rotary switches covering STBY, AUTO, ON, TA, and TA/RA mode selection, altitude reporting toggles, CLR, and IDENT. The rotary switches use crisp detents, which the company says are precision-optimized for frequent use. A segment display shows the active squawk code in amber, matching the color and character style of the real aircraft instrument. Backlight brightness is adjustable, and the display syncs automatically with the in-sim transponder state.
The panel connects via USB-C and works through WINCTRL’s SimAppPro bridge software, which the company says requires no manual configuration. Day-one aircraft compatibility covers the Fenix A319/A320/A321, iniBuilds A320/A330/A340, and Salty B747 in MSFS 2024, along with Fenix and iFly 737 MAX8 in MSFS 2020. WINCTRL says additional aircraft will be added through ongoing SimAppPro updates.
Online network integration
WINCTRL specifically highlights native support for VATSIM (via vPilot), IVAO (via Altitude), PilotEdge, and SayIntentions.AI (via skyNet), with the panel responding in real time to traffic avoidance commands. For simmers who fly on those networks regularly, the ability to physically press IDENT and dial in a squawk code rather than clicking through the virtual cockpit is really quite a meaningful workflow improvement.
Mounting and ecosystem fit
The 32 TCAS fits neatly into what WINCTRL has been building across its Airbus ecosystem. It can sit independently on a desk using its angled base, attach to WINCTRL’s Desk Mount system alongside other panels, or mount into a full home cockpit frame via pre-drilled holes for standard profile bars. The Desk Mount expansion kit is sold separately.
Pricing and availability
The 32 TCAS is available now via WINCTRL’s global shipping site at $77.50 USD, with shipping and taxes applying. Regional pre-orders are open at the following prices: $85.32 USD (US), £79.83 GBP (UK), €74.40 EUR (EU), $131.75 AUD (Australia), $114.70 CAD (Canada), and ¥11,929 JPY (Japan). Regional orders ship from local warehouses once stock arrives, which takes longer due to sea freight, though pricing is generally more favorable and includes free delivery in most regions.
