Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke with Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant Bundle (2 Items)

Tons of fun and great quality

I'm using this in X Plane 11 after returning a Saitek Flight Yoke System and Switch Panel.I'm loving the full-range roll axis and fully configurable throttle switches. The difference between slight roll doing nothing (because Saitek disables roll near the center) and being subtle (because it's a very small input) is amazing. Being able to assign switches in the sim OR with the MFG-SUPPLIED utility is everything I expected the Saitek to be (and, sadly, still isn't) when I first wanted it over a decade ago.Right now, I'm using a mixture of in-sim and plugin-enabled functions to set the parking brake with a switch or hold regular brake pressure at the throttle detent. They even re-engage when I release the toe brakes.I configured the L/R gear lights (gear are fixed) for amber when breaking lightly and red when set full.I even managed to get something like coarse adjustment on the AP knob, though that was super tedious and doesn't work as well as I'd like.The configuration utility still needs some improvement, probably including a firmware update, but is already light-years ahead of Saitek and the third-party plugin required to configure their hardware.I'm confident this hardware will only become even better with updates, rather than stagnating for a decade like the competition.

I've had the Bravo yoke and throttle set for several months now. I have been sing it with no issue since purchase. The yoke feels good ad the throttle quadrant works great. You get a lot with this setup. My only gripe is the on the yoke, the elevator movement ( pulling back on the yoke ) is too stiff as that control movement is controlled with a 4lbs band where the aileron ( left to right movement ) uses a 2.5lbs bandI believe. It would be nice to have that smaller band for the elevator which at this point, I have not seen any available.

What can I say, if you need a yoke and very configurable throttle quadrant, these live up to their reputation for quality and good value. They aren't cheap, but you can certainly pay a lot more for high quality sim controllers, and the price of these bought as a pair is not bad at all. I just wish the yoke had force feedback like driving sim steering wheels do! But I've never heard of a consumer sim yoke or stick with that feature! Missed opportunity! Get on that for your next version Honeycomb!

First, plug in the yoke and throttle then do the driver update. That's the only way the axis levers will bind correctly. Took me a few hours of messing around to finally figure it out. Even after watching many "How to" Videos. The throttles are smaller than I though they would be but the entire throttle quadrant is huge. I use it for MSFS which can save profiles within the game so it makes it easy to bind different things for various types of aircraft. I setup a 4 engine complex aircraft and flew around for a few hours. Yoke control is great, best yoke I've used so far.Pros: Smooth axis movement on all controls, no dead zones, Plenty of switches on both yoke and throttle, Having reverse thrust levels is the best pro ever, especially for each engine.Cons: The throttle switch's are in a position that with the throttles advanced you wont be able to reach the switches. Landing gear lights seem to work when they feel like it. Flap Lever doesn't have gates, its just a smooth axis from top to bottom.Overall, I'm impressed with the setup. Hopefully I get hours of use out them.

I'm using this with X-Plane 11 and 12 on Linux. Just plugged it in, and XP saw it with no special drivers or other magic. Calibrated without an issue, and now I am trying to get used to flying with a real yoke instead of a mouse! Many configuration options that I have yet to explore. My only issue right now is getting the lights to work on the throttle quadrant, and that investigation is in progress. I am very pleased with my purchase, and I don't think it was too expensive for the quality. Happy simming!

The yoke is well made too bad the throttle quadrant can be delicate as either the software or hardware can get defective easily especially with delivery my box seemed to have dropped before it even got to my door as the cardboard aeemed dented im assuming thats what caused my throttle to only light up the warning lights and not the landing gear lights. I tried aoftware fixes for a few days before having to return due to no sucess. And i definetly was not going to open it up since i dont know anything about its internal compinents. So retuen was the only option besides i have a real flight instructor now and will begin classes soon. Eithwr way you guys should buy these items theyre beautifuly made just wish the back parts were a bit smaller but its all good .

The media could not be loaded. I bought this November 20 2023. Since then have never used and has been in the box as I went through my PRIVATE pilot training. I am now in instrument and set up everything the entire sim to fly and practice approaches. To my surprise the Unit is Dead. The computer will give a message when plugged in saying Product malfuncion and product not recognized. Then I messed with every single tutorial online and even set up those drivers for the lights etc. Nothing worked. Tried in 2 Other computers, different cables, nothing worked I kept getting the error and Microsoft Flight Sim does not recognize it of course. Finally I am stuck with a 300$ black box that does not work and on top of it the company does not even have a phone number to provide any real customer service. This is a shame. Please refund me the 300$ to buy a working product elsewhere or send me something that works.
