The throttle also comes with our dual mounting system which includes two heavy duty steel clamps and a large 3M Micro-Suction Pad that can be used as a clamp-free solution. Aside from the fantastic throttle quadrant, the trim wheel is also great, and the gear lever provides just enough of a throw to not break immersion. Before I commence the review, I want to emphasize that I was provided with a free review copy of the controls for the purpose of writing this review. For airliner use you can choose a configuration with two or four thrust levers, levers for spoiler and flaps.

You can purchase Honeycomb Aeronautical’s Alpha Flight Controls XPC and Bravo Throttle Quadrant through various distributors all around the world. I have the Saitek/Logitech throttle unit and that is not even in the same ball park as this on throttle levers alone. Go from a small single-engine throttle to the setup of four-engine airliners within seconds with a quick and easy change of the quadrant handle.The second is a sizeable micro-suction cup, which is attached to a removable mounting plate on the base of the throttle quadrant. It is also a helpful jumping off point to assigning the buttons and customising it to your style of flying. After downloading and installing the drivers in X-Plane, setting the Bravo up was very straightforward. This article describes a way to set up your Honeycomb Bravo, this is not the only way, configs can differ but have been tested by our team. With the former, it is possible to get the speed brakes to arm using the bottom detent on the axis but the downside is the speed brakes will work in reverse.

In X-plane 12 the quadrant will have to be programmed separately with a profile for each aeroplane that you will fly.I found that as long as I attached it to a clean and smooth surface, the unit stayed firmly in place. It is important to note that an annunciator panel tool should be downloaded and installed to ensure proper functioning. Very nice addition to a HoneyComb Bravo Throttle Quadrant especially along with B737 throttle levers and flaps. The product also ships with what I can only describe as the best mounting options I have ever come across and two sets of levers to accommodate various aircraft/engine configurations. Similar to the Alpha Flight Controls, you can mount your Logitech G Saitek Flight Panels, such as a Radio Panel or the Shakeprint Simulations Class Echo, easily on top of the Bravo TQ.

The keybinding process is a bit quirky in MSFS, but that’s not an issue of Honeycomb, and in X-Plane, the process is much more optimized for the controls. It is made to be highly configurable and can be set up to replicate the controls in any number of aircraft types. The Bravo is ‘Plug and Play’ and connects to the PC via a single USB C cable so there is no power supply necessary. 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. We have been made aware of a video by the YouTuber SimHanger, which details the full config process.The Bravo is equipped with a dual-mounting kit, which has been adapted from the Alpha Flight Controls. CAUTION: It is "plug and play" in the fact that it doesn't require drivers and it is recognized by MSFS202 - BUT it needs FSUIPC (paid), SPAD. The throttle quadrant lets you configure your aircraft, from small single-engine planes to four-engine airliners. When switching these 2 buttons, both engines will go in reverse and you can push forward to increase reverse trust. For use in an airliner you can choose a configuration with two or four thrust levers, as well as levers for spoiler and flaps.
