While the suction pad is easier to use, it requires more maintenance to maintain grip over time, hence my preference for the mounts. I personally prefer using metal mounts over the suction pad. You will also have to attach your desired throttle extensions to the throttle quadrant, but that is a very straightforward action that will take just a few seconds.ĭepending on your preference and the environment you fly in, you can either use the big suction pad or the mounts, both included in the package, to hold the equipment in place. Since there is no need for screws, all you need to do to fly is simply attach the suction pad, with or without the mounting clamps, to the units, connect everything to your computer, and fly. Another bonus is that setup doesn’t require any screwdrivers, as there are no screws involved. I was impressed by their sleek, matte black packaging. The package contains the unit itself, all necessary cables, throttle variants, and the suction pad with clamps to hold the whole setup on top of your desk. Their packaging boasts a modern, simple design that I appreciate and is well-designed, both inside and outside the box. I had no prior experience with Honeycomb and initially assumed, based on my past experience with cheaper hardware, that the company cut costs somewhere. Honeycomb made a big impact on the hardware market due to their affordable prices. The hardware is excellent quality, and the comprehensiveness of the controls make it an outstanding value! Hats off to Honeycomb for two amazing products.Starting off as usual in my reviews, Honeycomb Aeronautical’s packaging was above my expectations. 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!) 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. I learned how to use the Auto Pilot unit within the simulation. I re-assigned the redundant panel switches with the Alpha Yoke unit. I fixed the auto pilot VS configuration issue with the Left Selector knob. GA Simple Single Engine, GA Complex Single Engine, GA Complex Twin Engine, Commercial 2 Engine, Commercial 3 Engine, Commercial 4 Engine, TBN930, etc. I created the separate profiles needed for the different throttle configurations i. I got the software patch from Honeycomb installed that enabled the lights in MSFS 2020. (It wasn’t, it just needed to be properly configured) This led to multiple uncontrollable crashes initially, and made me wonder if the unit was defective. WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - 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. The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant was designed to ensure the most versatile flight simulation experience possible. The throttle also comes with Honeycomb's dual mounting system which includes two heavy duty steel clamps and a large 3M® Micro-Suction Pad that can be used as a clamp-free solution. The throttle also features multiple cockpit components including an autopilot panel with backlit buttons, annunciator panel with 14 warning lights, Gear Lever with landing gear indicator lights, general aviation flap lever and a trim wheel. The commercial levers include flaps, spoilers, and functional thrust reversers while the general aviation levers include power, prop, and mixture and can engage thrust reverse for turbo props as well. Six general aviation and six commercial levers are included and can be arranged from single-engine general aviation all the way up to four-engine commercial aircraft. The Bravo Throttle Quadrant is an all-in-one cockpit system featuring a fully configurable throttle setup.
