  The FAIR accelerator complex (Facility for Antiproton and Ion research) is presently under construction at the GSI Helmholtz Centre in Darmstadt. FAIR will extend the present GSI accelerator chain, then being used as injector, and provide antiproton, ion, and rare isotope beams with unprecedented intensity and quality for a variety of research programs. After many years of machine development and civil construction works, the installation and commissioning of FAIR is now imminent. This paper reports about the progress of the FAIR facility in general, the general technical overview and the present status of the new FAIR control system, covering development, deployment, and operational experience at the existing GSI synchrotrons and storage rings. Although not feature-complete for FAIR yet, we will reflect on the experience of already 4 operational beam-times with the new control system. The paper will briefly address other challenges like our parallel activities to retrofit the legacy and obsolete linac control system by deploying the new control system stack at the UNILAC in the next years.
