When you’ve connected the Bravo Throttle Quadrant to an USB receptacle, you won’t see any LED lights in the front as we know from the Alpha Flight Controls. No need anymore for this assignment since the PITCH TRIM wheel on the Bravo feels so good, so realistic, so smooth and direct and again, I felt no slack at all. Not only is USB C the fastest USB standard currently available, the connector is unidirectional and can be plugged in both ways, and in my experience USB C is more robust than Micro or Mini USB connectors. I noticed with macOS and the Honeycomb Bravo that the NAV button and integral light didn’t gave an action in the X-Plane aircraft, but when I selected the NAV AP button at the X-Plane Baron, I got the NAV light at the Honeycomb Bravo.

The Boeing SPEEDBRAKE handle always points outwards so that makes sense too and the same applies for the Boeing FLAP handle. We have been made aware of a video by the YouTuber SimHanger, which details the full config process. Many years ago I received from Saitek the Pro Flight Throttle, but I can tell you already that although the Honeycomb name is similar, it’s such a massive and impressive device I’d never expected, but more about that later. Org user, I re-downloaded the package from Aerosoft and only, I repeat only copied and paste the honeycomb-configurator. What I understood from Nicki is that most internal components are made of metal and that means, it’s of high quality and durability.It is also supported natively by the new Microsoft Flight Simulator (MFS), so there is no need to download any drivers in this particular case. The encoders are simply dual push buttons that need to be assigned to functions like any other button. I was hoping for such a design and feature, but the hope has become reality and OK, it may look when transforming your Bravo device into a commercial aircraft a bit more Boeing then Airbus, it’s still an awesome solution/option. So far, all as expected, but when it comes to the GA look alike handles you could easily put the PROP and MIXTURE handles in the wrong position which would lead to interference of handles. Regarding the warrantee there’s something different then with the Alpha Flight Controls which has a 5-year warranty on the tension belt, both Honeycomb devices have a 2-year overall limited warranty.

The mounting plate can, however, be separated from the base and cleaned with soapy water to regenerate the tensile strength or stickiness to its original form. As it is now, the Flight Controls unit is in the correct position, but not yet tightened to the mounting plate. Introducing our latest innovation from ProDeskSim: The TBM 850 Throttle Mod Addon for the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant. Personally from the moment I figured out how to use spad-next (which has a 2-week free trial anyway), I’ve switched all mapping through that app leaving only camera view to be controlled via MSFS.You either connect the mounting plate with two clamps to the table or you use the 3M Micro Suction pad which means you don’t need the clamps. The second set of handles is for commercial jets or airliners and is loosely based on a Boeing 737-style throttle quadrant, although it can be configured for aircraft with up to four engines.

Added to this previous story, I also tested the Aerosoft AFC_Bridge exe file with Windows 10 and can confirm that it works with that platform. Time to unpack and yeah, I could have expected this, the overall model is very similar to the Alpha Flight Controls, at least, the housing except for the front part and the mounting plate.Back to the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant; only one word fits it all; awesome piece of hardware! Keep in mind, when you set the FLAPS to 5, 10, 15 or any other position, the slots you have in the simulated X-Plane 737NG, you don’t have these on the Bravo FLAP scale. That said, the moment I start Windows X-Plane, and connect the Bravo Throttle Quadrant for the first time to my iMac, you need in the same way as with macOS X-Plane, calibrate the six levers by moving them over their full travel. I have or had assigned on my left-hand horn of the Alpha Flight Control one of the toggle switches to the PITCH trim. The only json file I found was for the ToLiss A319/A321, but no sign “yet” for the FlightFactor A320 Ultimate, the JARDesign A320Neo or their A330, the RW Designs A330, but for sure, the will come.
