Product Information

Run the install as administrator, program "AS_HONEYCOMB_MSFS_V2100.exe" or whatever the latest version is.

I hope I can find the right words for this, it looks like that the top layer of the base unit – same as with the Alpha Flight Controls – is covered with a rubber coating which gives a kind of anti-slip look. Perhaps it’s not rubber, but to me it looks gorgeous. Also applicable for the Alpha unit and the same for the Bravo unit, the model or size of the throttle quadrant feels OK as well as the durable switches and knobs. The Bravo Throttle Quadrant – Part III 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. Everything just came together then. I did create a single fresh new profile in FSUIPC to help with a couple of obscure assignments that were difficult to find in the Honeycomb app. Just one or two switches, and they were on the Alpha. What can I add to this Summary with such an in-depth review of the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant? Honestly, I don’t know. I sincerely hope you enjoyed this review. I can tell you that it was an honer that X-Plained.Com was able to review this piece of Honeycomb flight simulation hardware. It tried to cover every part, section or whatever was needed to write an unbiased in-depth impression.

e. when I tested the switches in the (previously loaded) A2A Piper Comanche, theydid not work at all;

This review has become a bit longer than expected. Since the start I collected a lot of additional information that resulted in a lot of enthusiasm, but also a lengthy review. Due to the length of this review and the chapters/sections about the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, I’ve decided to include a Table of Contents. I hope you’ll enjoy this review that covers my own explorations of this well designed, durable and looking great Honeycomb product. Table Of Contents I managed to get the Better Bravo software running automatically by goofing with the XML, though by then I was pulling out my hair with multiple and different changes, so I'm not at all sure what I changed that worked. But I can confirm what someone else above observed that it does not seem to be working with the Fenix, though I don't think the original drivers were, either.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. If an add-on aircraft has a dedicated developed AP, it could be that the assignments for AP commands are different then the ones assigned by the joy file. That said, when this happens you should go in my humble opinion for User Profiles.

Watch very carefully the difference between Event "Conditions" and Event "Variables" as he moves through the video. Some items are set as Conditions, and others as Variables, For Conditions there is a small grayed out slider that has to be slid to the right to then set Condition Variables. It is confusing because under Events are two groups, one Conditions, the other Variables. But there is a subsection under Conditions that is also named Variables. So watch what he does as he makes settings because he does not always mention all of what he is doing. Look both above and below the blue Close box in the image I am including. Note the presence of two separate areas for Variables. Most of the buttons are set as Variables. Use of the two knobs if I recall correctly require use of Conditions with underlying Variables.

Bravo Throttle System with Flaps Landing and Gear

It isn’t a long term tested review of the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, but I can tell you right now that it’s a solid, modern and unique piece of hardware not seen before. The same what was applicable to the Alpha Flight Control is also applicable for the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. It is a heavy duty device, with a stiff mounting plate that can also be connected to the table with the 3M Micro-Suction pad. When you use the clamps, you could use it also in combination with the 3M Micro-Suction, but there’s actually no need for. You can leave the plastic on the mounting plate and connect it only with the clamps. Either way works and my personal preference was using only the 3M Micro-Suction since when I don’t fly, I would like to have a clean desk. 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 Next, what when I use another add-on twin engine GA aircraft like the Nimbus Islander or perhaps the Just Flight/Thranda Duchess 76 or the Thranda Beaver? Keep in mind that when it comes to the AP assignments that this could make a difference if the AP is dedicated modeled by the developer. That said, I did first a flight short test with the Nimbus Islander. It seems that all assigned AP functions work with this aircraft, but when I tried to do the same during another flight with the Just Flight/Thranda Duchess 76, the basic functions like FLAPS UP/DOWN lever and GEAR UP/DOWN handle worked, but the AP didn’t respond do what I expected. This is probably due to different assigned X-Plane AP commands versus the default AP commands. It seems that when using Windows 10 and X-Plane 10.51r x, there’s not much difference then what I’ve seen on the Mac. That said, the moment I start Windows X-Plane, and connect the Bravo Throttle Quadrant for the first time to my iMac, you need in the same way as with macOS X-Plane, calibrate the six levers by moving them over their full travel. After that’s finished, the different Honeycomb pictures can be found with their switches, buttons and the levers. Since I only have macOS and Windows X-Plane, I wasn’t able to test the Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant with Linux. I have another big recommendation here. Look in the settings for controllers in the simulator (I do not use P3D so cannot point you). Unbind any that you find for the Bravo for buttons and switches and set those in the Honeycomb configurator. Eliminate any duplication.
