Description
WINCTRL URSA MINOR 32 Throttle Metal / 32 PAC Metal brings airline-style control to the desktop with satisfying mechanical feedback and thoughtful cockpit cues. The standout element is the metal core throttle structure with contactless Hall sensors, giving the levers a firm, confident movement that feels deliberate rather than flimsy. Add to that the flaps and speed brake levers with authentic position limiters, and each action—from extending flaps to deploying spoilers—has a distinct mechanical rhythm that keeps your hands engaged throughout the flight.
What Sets the WINCTRL URSA MINOR 32 Throttle Metal / 32 PAC Metal apart?
-
Airliner-Style Lever Mechanics The throttle pack focuses heavily on airline-style interaction. The flap lever includes five defined positions with a pull mechanism and mechanical stops, while the speed brake lever features multiple limiter stages including a locked half position. Pilots often point out how these physical cues make routine procedures—like configuring flaps on approach—feel more deliberate compared to smooth, unrestricted levers found on generic throttle quadrants.
-
Metal-Core Construction With Hall Sensors The internal structure of the flap and speed brake assemblies uses metal components rather than lightweight plastic linkages. Combined with high-resolution Hall sensors, the result is smooth lever tracking without contact wear. Users commonly note that the levers maintain consistent movement over time, especially during frequent adjustments such as spoiler deployment or flap retraction in busy traffic patterns.
-
Detailed Cockpit Interaction Features Small details elevate the experience, including the long-travel RESET push button and the parking brake lever using a pull-and-turn mechanism. These little touches may seem minor on paper, but they change how the controls feel in practice. Sim pilots often appreciate these mechanical distinctions because they create clear feedback for each function rather than relying on generic toggle switches.
-
Synchronized Backlighting With Sim Data The throttle system includes lighting that synchronizes with the simulator in real time, reflecting aircraft states directly on the hardware. Community feedback frequently highlights how this makes night flights easier to manage, as illuminated controls help locate switches quickly without relying on screen overlays or keyboard shortcuts.

The throttle system connects through standard USB, allowing it to operate alongside other flight hardware such as yokes, sticks, rudder pedals, and radio panels from different manufacturers. The design integrates particularly well with other Winwing cockpit components, including compatible rudder pedal systems where the RUD TRIM rotary switch can interact with Cyber Taurus pedal hardware. It functions as a typical USB HID device, meaning it can coexist with mixed-brand cockpit setups without proprietary hardware requirements.
The throttle pack is designed primarily for PC-based flight simulation systems and integrates with simulator data through configuration software. It does not rely on a closed ecosystem and can be used with various cockpit rigs or desk-mounted setups. Console compatibility is not supported, as the device depends on PC drivers and simulator integration software.
In terms of simulator support, the hardware works with Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and Prepar3D, where lighting synchronization and input mapping can be configured through WW SIMAPP Pro. It is intended for PC flight simulation platforms and is not designed for Xbox or PlayStation consoles, which typically require certified peripherals.
