Hoowalt Partners with Rowsfire: Building the Ultimate Cockpit Setup
Flight simulation has always been about more than just software. For many enthusiasts, the real satisfaction comes from building a cockpit environment where procedures feel natural and every switch or button adds a layer of physical interaction. At Hoowalt, we’ve always believed that hardware plays an important role in shaping this experience and in supporting the culture that surrounds the flight simulation community.
To better serve this growing community, Hoowalt has partnered with Rowsfire to introduce a selection of their cockpit panels to our store. By adding the Rowsfire lineup alongside our own products, we hope to broaden the range of tools available to sim pilots who are building and refining their home cockpit setups.
As part of this expanded lineup, we’re highlighting two representative overhead panels designed for two of the most widely flown aircraft families in flight simulation: the Airbus A320 series and the Boeing 737.
Rowsfire A107 V3.1 A32X MAX Light Overhead Panel
For Airbus pilots, cockpit workflows often revolve around the overhead panel—especially during cold and dark startups. The Rowsfire A107 V3.1 A32X MAX brings many of those essential controls into a compact format designed for desktop simulators and home cockpit builds.
The panel features a metal housing with a custom backlit acrylic faceplate, paired with simulation-style tactile switches that replicate the travel and feel of real aircraft controls. With a footprint of 26 × 21 cm, it replaces multiple keyboard commands with a single dedicated control panel, helping pilots move through startup procedures in a more natural way.
The latest V3.1 version introduces improved lighting synchronization, allowing the backlighting to interact with aircraft states inside the simulator. Powered by MobiFlight or Rowsfire App, the panel integrates smoothly with popular Airbus simulations such as Fenix A32X and FlyByWire A32X, making it a practical addition for Airbus-focused setups.
Rowsfire B107 B737 Light Overhead Panel
For those who prefer Boeing aircraft, the Rowsfire B107 B737 Light OVHD offers a larger overhead panel designed around the classic 737 cockpit layout.
Built with a 4 mm acrylic panel and an aluminum alloy frame, the B107 delivers a sturdy, cockpit-style structure suitable for more immersive setups. The panel incorporates high-quality switches, high-power LEDs, and realistic button travel, allowing system management to feel much closer to the physical workflow of a real aircraft.
Backlighting is integrated directly into the panel so labels remain clearly visible during both daytime and night operations. The system runs through MobiFlight together with the Rowsfire App, with initial support focused on PMDG aircraft, while compatibility with other well-known models such as ZiBoMOD continues to expand through updates.
With VESA mounting support, the B107 can also be integrated into larger cockpit frames, making it well suited for pilots building dedicated simulation stations.
A Shared Goal: Bringing the Cockpit Closer
Both panels represent a common idea within the flight simulation world: turning virtual procedures into physical interaction. Whether it’s the compact Airbus-focused A107 or the Boeing-style B107, each panel helps transform startup flows, system checks, and cockpit management into something that feels more authentic.
At Hoowalt, our goal is to make flight simulation hardware more accessible to anyone interested in the hobby. Whether someone is building a dedicated cockpit or simply looking for ways to make their flights more engaging, we hope to provide peripherals that add convenience, realism, and a better overall experience. Our collaboration with Rowsfire is part of this effort—expanding our product lineup so more sim pilots can easily find the hardware that fits their setup and enhances their time in the simulator.
