I love this yoke and throttle. I experienced a throttle sensor issue with the Bravo and Honeycomb gave me an RMA and replaced it fairly quickly. I had to ship the bad one out and they replaced it. Support responded quickly too, like within a business day. I have no complaints and can't fly without it.

I have been thinking about getting these two items

One of the better reviews I've seen for MSFS related hardware! Excellent job with the production, and rather informative! I'm considering getting the Honeycomb to use for flying twins (mostly C310 / C414) on MSFS. Currently have a Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog throttle and stick, which works well enough, but hard to practice losing an engine, feathering, etc. Would you say the Alpha is "better" control-wise (for typical GA type flying--besides obviously matching the actual physical control style), vs a joystick like the Warthog?

@thecorporatepilotdad

11 ай бұрын

I also have a similar HOTAS setup as you and without a doubt the Bravo throttle quadrant adds a lot to the level of immersion. Trying to feather and secure an engine in a twin is possible with the virtual cockpit but it’s SO MUCH easier and realistic with the Bravo. Using differential power to turn in a tight space is also possible and seamless with the Bravo. The Alpha does make sim flying more realistic. Both are great to have. They do take up a fair amount of space but can be removed easily when needed. Thanks for the kind words in the review video. The video was a fun change of pace and I’m looking forward to the next product review.

@thecorporatepilotdad

3 ай бұрын

The Bravo is a great unit and makes using differential power for turning a lot easier. Since making this video, I have become less of a fan of the Honeycomb Alpha due to too much resistance in pitch.

Just got my Alpha Bravo Hub Combo for XBOX Series X and I have to say they are fantastic. Heard many complaints about the pitch axis but I honestly don't feel like it's any different than the 172 I fly around. I constantly trim that thing to take the pressure off the yoke in real life so I just do the same in the sim. For anyone on the fence, I'd say ignore the naysayers and just go for it. Like many people, I considered other less expensive options like Turtle Beach, etc. but I've learned in life that it's always better to buy once, cry once vs buy something a bit cheaper only to still wish you had the other more expensive option and then end up buying that option ANYWAY! I paired my setup with the Logitech rudder pedals which work fine for now since I cannot seem to find the Charlie rudder pedals anywhere. I'm seriously kicking myself for not doing it sooner as I've been previously flying with the TFlight Hotas Setup. Please note that if you are on XBOX and still have the TFlight Hotas and rudder pedal setup that those rudder pedals will still work with the Honeycomb Alpha Bravo combo. You just would need to have the old rudder pedals and flight stick plugged in via a separate USB hub which are like 5 bucks on amazon. I personally found this to be a bit clumsy though so I got the Logitech rudders to overcome this and keep things a bit more streamlined.

My opinion is using a flight sim yoke for simming is great, but do not expect it to help when learning to fly in the real world. The resistance and weight of the yoke in a real airplane will be vastly different than a yoke for the sim. Sims are good for navigation practice, practicing a cross country, etc, but not good for tasks that require precise control input such as slow flight and crosswind landings.

@@Timman57 mine came with the hub in the box. If you have two open ports on the xbox you could still use the A and the B until the hub arrives, but if you have the newest version you should have it.

@@thecorporatepilotdad thats the general idea I had as well, having only had the series x for about 2 weeks, was second guessing how many ports it had as Im not home right now, but using one of the ports for the cooling fan, that can be moved to the port on the TV. Thanks for the info 🙏

@@thecorporatepilotdad did not come with one. Wonder if the seller is removing them and selling them seperate. No where on the packaging does it give a list of "what's included" to check that lol go figure.

LMAO.. you just have to laugh at sellers charging almost half of what the entire throttle costs from some 3D printed crap...

flight controllers simply dont have the value simracing wheels have. you are paying for plastic, switches and potentiometers. for over 600 euros for the yoke and throttle i expect there to be a motor with working ffb at least. but hey its either buying an overpriced plastic yoke and throttle or playing with mouse and keyboard so for now we dont have an alternative. hope flightsim hardware evolves to the level of simracing sooner or later

Xbox? 😂
