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

And this brings me to this 2nd Honeycomb hardware review. 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. 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. And again I say …. is that good? No, that’s excellent! The Bravo Throttle Quadrant – Part I

The contents of this AFC_Bridge” folder has to be copied to the X-Plane plugins folder. It contains a Windows exe file as well as a macOS app file. What does is actually do? It offers a separate program that can be started without having X-Plane running, but you need to have the Honeycomb Alpha or Bravo device connected. to your PC or Mac. As of this writing – January 2021 – after several attempts I finally got Aerosoft AFC_Bridge program working with macOS Big Sur, but what said, only after several attempts. It supports both A: variables and L: variables. Putting the technojargon to one side, if you want to make the MASTER WARNING and MASTER CAUTION lights work, you need a tool that can read L: variables from MSFS. AFC Bridge doesn’t support L: variables. It is correct that X-Plane 11 uses for specific hardware only 1 joy file. However, with this basic joy file you can create several user profiles and assign them to different aircraft. I’ll give you an example about this in the coming paragraphs. The problem is that the Bravo Throttle Quadrant has many switches, levers, knobs of which most can be configured within X-Plane but when it comes to the annunciator lights, the integral AP lights, the GEAR lights, for hose you need the Aerosoft AFC_Bridge configurator. The Bravo Throttle Quadrant is designed with a highly configurable reverse thrust design. Conclusion Suppose you turn the selector knob on the left-hand side to VS (Vertical Speed) you can increase/decrease the VS value with the right-hand knob and of course, the X-Plane aircraft will correspond in accordance what you select. And last but not least, there’s an AP button on the far right to engage/disengage the AP.

Clearly noted in the English (and for sure in the German and French too) manual is that when you follow the cleaning instructions of the 3M Micro-Suction, you can be use on and on. In other words, there’s no need to keep, once you’ve placed the mounting plate with the 3M Micro-Suction to the table, it mounted on the table. When you don’t need the mounting plate for a while, then follow the instructions in the manual, reapply the plastic covering to preserve quality and condition of the 3M Micro-Suction. As I started with my first Honeycomb review a while ago, the following statement stays the same; who hasn’t used or still using Saitek, Logitech, Thrustmaster, CH, VKB Gladiator hardware in combination with flight simulators like X-Plane, FlightGear, Steam FSX, P3D and the latest release Microsoft FS2020?

It supports different configurations for different aircraft; this is critical because oil pressures, fuel pressures and battery voltages vary wildly from aircraft to aircraft. 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. Many of the controller assignments in MFS were automatically loaded, so it appears there are already some aircraft profiles in place. It is still early days but according to Honeycomb, more aircraft profiles will be made available moving forward. It is still of course possible to create your own custom profiles within the simulator. 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. Because of that, you can only install it in one way. When you connect the Bravo Throttle Quadrant while X-Plane is already up and running, a popup window appears that tells you that new hardware is detected. Not just new hardware, no, it tells you that the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is connected and needs to be calibrated as is needed with all connected hardware. Once you’ve calibrated the six levers by moving them over their full travel, the calibration process finishes. BBL provides a number of significant improvements over the original Aerosoft/Honeycomb Bravo Lights driver:What I personally like about this throttle quadrant is that you can configure it for single/twin GA propellor aircraft having throttle(s)-, mixture(s)- and prop(s)- levers. But when you’re more a virtual commercial pilot you can configure it as a twin or four engine jet aircraft. All typical GA or commercial jet levers are included as you have seen in the beginning of this review. Then on the far right of the AP panel you find the AP engage button. The advantage of this AP panel is that it’s a bit more then just a panel. A lot of AP assignments are involved with this panel which means that no other switches or buttons are needed to be assigned to have a working AP. Of course, this is not the whole list of possible AP assignments, but it will do. Yes, of course, the Auto Pilot section on the Bravo Throttle Quadrant is different then the MCP in the modeled 738, but it’s right now more important that you can enter via the Bravo your IAS, HDG and ALT. That said, with the loaded Zibo.json file you can set the left-hand knob to ALT, HDG or IAS and with the right-hand rotary knob you increase or decrease the value which is visible on the MCP in the sim. During climb and initial cruise level, I was able to control the aircraft Auto Pilot with the help of the Bravo dedicated Zibo.json plugin and I can tell you, that it works to my satisfaction. On Last Note ….. Airbus Models I feel that it’s time to finish this review. I went already much further than initially planned, but I would like to add the following regarding those who want to fly Airbus aircraft.
