Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Auto Pilot & Annunciator Panel in aviation quality for flight simulator | Universal control system for simmer and pilots | PC

Product Information

However, the learning curve on how to set it up is very steep, not helped by MSFS 2020's and X-Plane11's control mapping interfaces. 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. The throttle quadrant also has a thoughtful design feature in the form of dust covers for the unused axes.

I've been a serious flight sim enthusiast for over a decade and during this time have purchased many flight controllers, some good, some not so good. 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. The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is an all-in-one cockpit system featuring a configurable throttle setup, from single-engine general aviation to four-engine commercial aircraft. The throttle quadrant allows for configurations from small single-engine planes to four-engine airliners.Back to the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant; only one word fits it all; awesome piece of hardware! I say 'a few times' because each repair seems to last only a month or so before another (original) wire breaks requiring yet another repair. Because the set comes with six General Aviation levers and six Commercial Jet levers (under which speed brake and flaps lever) the Bravo Throttle is suitable for both single-engine and multi-engine propeller aircraft, and airliners.

After downloading and installing the drivers in X-Plane, setting the Bravo up was very straightforward. It’s extremely helpful to be able to see the landing gear status while flying, without having to reach for the mouse and check the virtual cockpit. Additional features are provided by the gear switch, the trim wheel, and 7 freely programmable switches so the user does not need to reach out to the keyboard as often.Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. Directly below those, you can find seven additional programmable switches and an annunciator panel, with 14 warning lights. 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.

The thrust levers allow configuration for small single and multi-engine planes with separate flap switches. The annunciator panel with 14 signal lights indicate the most important status and warning messages of the board systems. You can purchase Honeycomb Aeronautical’s Alpha Flight Controls XPC and Bravo Throttle Quadrant through various distributors all around the world. 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. Microsoft Flight Simulator worked straight out of the box and there was no need to install any drivers as they are part of the simulator.Besides throttles for GA single and multi aircraft, it also comes with a set for commercial aircraft and it also offers an annunciator light panel and AP panel.

Keeping the mounting pad on your desk while storing the yoke elsewhere allows for easy setup when you’re ready to fly, as all you have to do is slide the controls onto the pad. The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant was designed to ensure the most versatile flight simulation experience possible. For airliner use you can choose a configuration with two or four thrust levers, levers for spoiler and flaps.

There is plenty of buttons to use for both GA and commercial aviation, all positioned well, greatly implemented in the simulator, and all feel very well when used. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.In the simulator, the peripherals performed excellently, allowing for precise control of various aircraft types. It should work with default MSFS 2020 aircraft that use the default engine 1 / engine 2 fuel cutoff axis assignment. Please Note: This guide will not demonstrate how to use the autopilot and light controls, as those are not enabled for external control with the Fenix A320.
