After wrestling with poor documentation and resolving conflicts with FSUIPC, which I must use to keep everything in my sim pit running, I finally have the quadrant working almost as advertised. I give it 4.5 stars because the annunciator lights work with some airplanes but not others, and I cannot find any documentation on how to program the annunciator. Also I cannot get any of the autopilot hold buttons led lights to work in FSX, and only the Nav hold and Alt hold lights work in P3D v4.5.
The Bravo throttle assembly is outstanding, but not a clue how to set it up. Thank god for YouTube or it would just be a $250 decoration. Anyway, thanks for your excellent service.
As I stated in my review for the Alpha Yoke, this unit is well designed and solidly built. As with the yoke, this is a joy to use. Many functions included that make flying so much more realistic and enjoyable. A versatile unit for a variety of aircraft from small GA to large commercial. Again if you are into flight simulation check this unit out.
Outer box ALMOST shows evidence of shipping, inner box is pristine. Unit arrived in mint condition, complete and intact. All in all, a fantastic product, GREAT value and well worth the wait. Thank you.
Good product. Better service from aircraft spruce!
Out of the box, there were a few minor software issues, and a few things that needed to be configured that were not documented in the included literature. This led to multiple uncontrollable crashes initially, and made me wonder if the unit was defective. (It wasn’t, it just needed to be properly configured) Thank goodness for YouTube !!! After watching a handful of videos... I got the software patch from Honeycomb installed that enabled the lights in MSFS 2020.. I created the separate profiles needed for the different throttle configurations i. e. GA Simple Single Engine, GA Complex Single Engine, GA Complex Twin Engine, Commercial 2 Engine, Commercial 3 Engine, Commercial 4 Engine, TBN930, etc. I fixed the auto pilot VS configuration issue with the Left Selector knob. I re-assigned the redundant panel switches with the Alpha Yoke unit. I learned how to use the Auto Pilot unit within the simulation. I assigned the rudder axis to the yoke roll axis (in addition to the ailerons), and the brakes to the yoke pitch axis (in Addition to the elevator), which eliminated the need for rudder pedals until the Charlie unit becomes available. Once these issues were all resolved, I can say that this unit has fully completed my Flight Simulation control needs, and has completely transformed my Flight Simulation experience! (This last comment can NOT be over emphasized!) The hardware is excellent quality, and the comprehensiveness of the controls make it an outstanding value! Hats off to Honeycomb for two amazing products. Both are highly, highly recommended!
This is a fantastic piece of gear. I cant believe I even considered buying a cheaper one and am super glad I didnt. It is strange to me that Honeycomb doesnt provide more information about it through. I had to watch various YouTube videos to learn how to make the lights work and how to really set it up the best way. Still, this is a must have!
Outstanding product. I have been enjoying it to a great degree. Since I am a real world pilot as well as a simulation pilot, I appreciate the fact that Aircraft Spruce offers products of this type to its clients.
Yes, it does not require the yoke to be the Honeycomb Alpha. It will still work as a throttle.
Approx dimensions 10" x 13" x 18".
The Bravo is plug and play with Flight Simulator X.
Yes, it is compatible with Microsoft FS 2020.
