The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke & Switch Panel is the most advanced flight simulation system available to simmers, flight students and pilots. The yoke has a full 180° yoke rotation with smooth control and no center detent or dead zone. The base includes a Switch Panel with master, alternator, avionics, and light switches as well as a 5-position ignition switch. The left and right handles feature 13 programmable buttons and switches for fully customizable flight. The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke & Switch Panel was designed and developed in California by pilots and aerospace engineers to ensure the most realistic flight simulation experience possible. The Alpha Controls Yoke and Switch panel is a well contructed unit and worth the €249 price tag. If Honeycomb set out to hit a middle ground market place between budget and high end system then it has certainly met its goal. It will be interesting to see how the other competitors in the market respond." Equally disappointing, the Honeycomb Tango Foxtrot HOTAS was put on hold. Honeycomb was light on the details in their presentation, but they stated that the decision was in part due to the post-COVID consumer electronics market crash. There was no date stated as to when we can expect the Tango Foxtrot; however, it was showcased in the Honeycomb Delta screen reveal so it seems clear that they have not completely abandoned the HOTAS. Added ability to add relative variables values with optional boundaries (prefixed by +=/-= in value field)

This will be a completely free program for teachers and institutions, entirely funded by Honeycomb, and the company aims to open at least 30 locations in the next 5 years. Their ambitious plans call for reaching 400 STEM programs annually and starting over 100 new ones per year. Honeycomb plans to offer a “Next-Gen” aviation education facility with curriculum materials from aviation staples such as Newton, AOPA, and Gleim, using their simulator products. I think it is safe to say that Honeycomb has easily met my expectations and quite possibly even exceeded them. For the price, it is by far the best yoke I have come across. Build quality is superb and the mechanics feel robust so I see no reason why it won't last for years. On top of that the combination of precise and weighty control input provides an excel lent flight experience. Although this is a pre-production unit, I still have no hesitation in awarding this a score of 98% and our coveted Platinum award. Great job!"and light switches, as well as a 5-position ignition switch. The left and right handles feature one Honeycomb Aeronauticals Alpha Flight Controls is one of the most advanced yokes currently available for PC flight simulation. It was designed to fulfil the requirements of both flight simulation users and student or full-time pilots. The aerospace grade internal components feature realistic ergonomics for a true flying experience.

The high-quality mechanics offer a realistic full 180° turn radius with a self-centring mechanism with no dead zone to control the aileron. Lenghtwise, the steel shaft allows for 15 cm of travel. The mechanism is all metal for durability. I can conclude that the Honeycomb Flight Controls unit is a heavy duty unit, a stiff mounting plate that can also be connected to the table with the 3M Micro-Suction and believe me, it works! When you use the clamps, you could use it also in combination with the 3M Micro-Suction, but there’s actually no need for. The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Pro will incorporate all the Alpha’s improvements with new, improved sensors.

Single Engine: LowRider™ Yoke Mount

Profiles are loaded on a 3 second delay after aircraft change to allow for correct initialization of all commandRefs/dataRefs If you only have a toggle function you can now define the correct switch position via the Condition Variable (take a look at the new Default Template) Added a Configurator-sim-profile-activation-link, so the additional "Reload Bindings" from the sim menu is not necessary anymore There is currently a bug in the installer. Instead of adding a section to the existing exe.xml file, it replaces the file with one of its own (that happens to be an invalid xml document as well). This has the effect of disabling any additional addons (like the RealSimGear add-on) that have already been installed. This is the exe.xml file the installer created: On the left handle there are wo buttons, two 2-way hat switches, and a push to talk button, while the right handle features two 2-way and an 8-way switch as well as a button.
