Meridian GMT has officially launched its redesigned website, marking a significant milestone for the studio and putting its long-teased hardware ecosystem in the spotlight. This follows the initial announcement made by Meridian on Christmas Day.

The updated product pages are now available at MeridianGMT.com, showcasing various imagery, specifications, and feature breakdowns for the Horizon Plus Flight Controls, Latitude Plus Throttle Quadrant, and the X-Ray Handheld FlightDeck.

At the centre of the line-up is the Horizon Plus Flight Controls, Meridian’s flagship yoke system, designed around a modular architecture that allows pilots to tailor the setup for airliner or general aviation operations. 

The system combines a full-range roll axis with a deliberately asymmetric pitch mechanism, providing precision during rotation, approach, and landing. At the same time, modular avionics bays on either side allow panels to be swapped, as flying styles change.

Sitting alongside it is the Latitude Plus Throttle Quadrant, a highly configurable throttle solution, with interchangeable lever sets and magnetic faceplates. This allows for quick transitions between various Boeing, Airbus, and GA configurations.

Rounding out the ecosystem is the X-Ray Handheld FlightDeck, a compact controller designed for couch and casual flying, with magnetic faceplates, tactile controls, and a strong emphasis on accessibility. 

Full information on X-Ray compatibility, particularly for console use, will follow once licensing processes are completed in January.

The website relaunch also confirms Meridian’s move away from its earlier phonetic naming scheme, with product names now aligned directly to the brand’s identity, a change founder Nicki says represents a clean break from the company’s past, and a renewed focus on its own design language. 

According to the published roadmap, a non-binding pre-order sign-up for the Horizon Plus Flight Controls is planned to open on Jan. 20, 2026, serving as a system and demand test, with full pre-orders expected from Feb. 1, 2026. The Latitude Plus Throttle Quadrant will follow shortly after.

They also plan to showcase hands-on prototypes at FSWeekend in Lelystad and at FlightSimExpo 2026 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, ahead of beta units and wider pre-orders rolling out during the second quarter of 2026.

Pre-orders will, however, only open once production timelines are formally locked in with manufacturing partners.
