I like it…still wish I could find some Cessna throttles that don’t cost as much as a Cessna.

Best review fir this I’ve seen and just overall a great product review. Great gliding shots
You sold me! Just ordered one. Thanks for such a great review.
Took everything you said and I ordered the Alpha and bravo super excited this Christmas!
Great review & great video! Thank you so much, you've helped me make up my mind to get this.
I took your advice and i ordered the Boeing yoke standalone, and ordered this throttle quadrant! Thank you for the great reviews 👍🏼
First video I’ve watched - looked up the amount of subscribers - was shook - ngl thought of 6M or so. A bright-futured channel 👍🏼
Bought one myself, and it's great! Your review is great:)

Hello. Could you tell me how was your experience with the trim wheel in the honeycomb throttle? I would really appreciate if you could give me your opinion
@anthonyvallillo422

@@pepeiglesias9603 The trim wheel has worked very well. It is, of course, a small (roughly 1/3 size) analogue of a Boeing trim wheel as found on the Boeing jets up through the 737. It is also similar in operation to a Cessna trim wheel, although it looks different. Except for the friction load of the trim cables in a real airplane, it operates very realistically. You can have both the trim wheel and the trim switches on the Alpha Yoke assigned to the trim, just as in a real plane.
Thank you for the video man I’m glad I found you! I’ve always been in love with this throttle quadrant, now that I saw your video I think I’ll be buying the Boeing 787 yoke from thrustmaster and I’ll take the honeycomb throttle.

great video, nicely narrated. I have one question after viewing: Will the throttle work for a single or twin turboprop with Beta range and Reverse prop?
B roll shots are super! What slider are you using it’s doing a great job at tracking
I have the Bravo Throttle and agree with the agree with the review, the feel and interchangable throttles are absolutely stellar. My only real gripe is the error panel; it's not ideally located. With the throttle forward (as in flight) the levers obscure the panel, not to mention the panel faces UP, not directly at your eyes, so they're difficult to see. Still this is indeed a stellar product.

Brilliant! Thank you so much! :)))
I’m new to flight simulators I ben doing research and looking at allot of videos I was goin to start with the logictech set up but now I’m goin all in for my first set up I’m goin honeycomb yoke and throttle. Good video good reviews I subscribe to your channel.
Great review do you know if any tweeking needed for PMDG?
I'm not ready for this one yet but I want it!
I have a question; Say you set up a situation in-game where one of the landing gears fails to come out, do the gear LED indicators show one of them as being red?
Yes, the best!!
You could let the sistem attached to the desk and have a vesa monitor arm so the only thing you move is the monitor instead of moving the honeycomb sistem. Great review my friend.
oh i want it sooo much !!
Great review. 😀 It was VERY helpful. Is it compatible with most Cockpit Panels ? Please recommend a Dual Yoke Panel that it will fit into nicely ? Thanks. 😀 Patrick from Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Hi thank you for video review. But one question, How can i put the radio panel on the throttle?
Do you install any drivers for the throttle quadrant if you don’t have the alpha yoke?
Hi, do you use the function buttons in VR? I’m considering this and new to VR myself, thanks in advance
great review, if only i had the space to put a flight yoke and throttle quadrant, as i have a Racing setup on my computer desk. someday i hope to be able to have a bigger desk and setup so i can race and fly.
Does the honeycomb bravo throttle quadrant works with thrustmaster boeing yoke edition because I dont know if the thrustmaster throttle worth the price like the honeycomb bravo?
But the most important question has not been answered: what is the tech inside? Potentiometers or hall effect? If using potentiometers the risk of failing levers due to spiking is real

SOLD! After a 5-6 year absence I'm getting back into MSFS. I have tons of peripherals; lots of GoFlight Modules but I guess they are out of business. My Ch Products Quad is broken I know and this unit seems like a great all in one restart. And a trim wheel? SOLD!
I ordered off Aerosoft, Should be arriving either sometime today or tomorrow, exited to replace my current Saitek/Logitech throttle, Glad you made a review of it!

I’ve been using mine all day today, been doing touch and go’s and some short trips around the uk. Still totally in love with it.
Is it compatible with the thrustmaster boeing yoke and TFRP pedals on xbox?
Can anyone answer this question how do I get the gear lights to illuminate?
1) Is there a programable button to disconnect the autothottles?, 2) Is there a TOGA button? and, 3) Does the flap switch incrementally lower the flaps? Thanks.
Does the throttle use hall sensors or variable resistors?
could i connect this to the xbox compatible hotas 1 using the honeycomb hub?
I got my Bravo just two days ago from Aerosoft GmBH, still no time to open the box and try it. After this video I will take time to set up for my MSFS on weekend!

Do the gear illuminations work if one gear gets stuck? Does it stay red?
I've been looking at this for a different use, but I can't find any information on it outside of flight sims (I want to use it in a space sim). Is it recognized by windows as a standard game controller? Do all the axes and buttons work like any other peripheral, and can be used in whatever way or game you like? I get that the autopilot and warning lights are MSFS specific, that's not a big deal.
good price for what you get, but i fly stick so would want the trim wheel on the right hand side. very good though glad to see them up for pre order as the prices for them on amazon was getting silly.

Do you have to buy the throttle knobs separately?
Would this throttle quadrant work with the thrustmaster TCA Boeing edition? Curious as I love the quadrant, but not the Alpha, and love the TCA Boeing yoke, but not the quadrant to match their yoke.. TIA
Do you need to have the Honeycomb yoke? or can I use it with any existing yoke/flightstick?
Great video! Just ordered the yoke and throttle and I’m curious about something. What is the solution for rudder use? if I don’t have pedals and of course will not have a joystick to twist anymore.

Does the levers come included?
Does it work with the Saitek Pro Yoke?
Ordered both the alpha yoke, and bravo throttle quadrant. Unfortunately my throttle quadrants 7th custom button doesn't work. No response from Honeycomb aeronautical, but luckily im able to return it to where I got it from.
I plan to get this along with an Logitec Extreme Pro Joystick for now and later some rudder peddles.

Fantastic, great review and wonderful production. Now I just need to win the lotto, for a new top end PC, Yoke, Controls, Monitors and what not. Wish I was 20 again and not 53! Happy flying and I check out all your content when I can.
The trim wheel is not working on my set. Is it on yours?
Tried to set the throttle up in x plane 11 on a Mac not straight forward and not working as yet. I set up the yoke but x plane now doesn't recognise the yoke Was amazed to hear you say it was automatically set up both the yoke and throttle in MSFS. I contacted the European arm of Honeycomb (Im in the UK) but they have not replied.....
What VR Headset did you use in our Film?

Personally I think the valve index is nice but its pricey. The Quest 2 is also a good choice and better value.
I bought the set of two, and now I will see for myself how they can be programmed.
Please can somebody help me with what the total package weight is for this quadrant. Thankyou..
Does it work with X-plane? And if so, does it work "out of the box"?
how may i find it in turkey ?
works with X box series X ? Their website says nothing but other reviews says it works.
Had this for a week also the yoke that made by same company, excellent unit esp for multi engine modern aircraft, I tend to play more ww2 and ww1 flight sims, like Il2 battle of stalingrad that also now uses VR, the combo flight system now makes this easier using VR over a conventional keyboard as you dont have to fumble about finding the keys when you can just flip a switch. Only issues is there are not enough controls for old fashioned advanced engines for that time period, for a single engine fighter yes you have enough controls, but for a twin engine its doesnt do it. you can easily setup throttle, fuel mixture, and a spare but you have oil and water radiators, cowl flaps, etc, etc, you can assign buttions for those effects also the radio dials help, but apart from that its a great piece of kit.

How deep is each unit, not sure I have enough desk space
I still can't get the trim wheel to work. This feature was one that I had most hopes for when buying the throttle.
Will the throttle be compatible with Boeing yoke on Xbox SX?
Can I use the bravo by itself?
Hello there people! Does anyone have experience with the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle? I fly everything from a Cessna to an A-10 Thunderbolt. Because of that, I'm curious how sturdy this throttle is. I'm afraid I might damage it, because I do sometimes give fast/harsh inputs! What's your experience regarding this? Thanks!
ngl I bought it while watching bro needs a sponsorship
Just managed to get the bravo and the alpha for £232 each on Amazon! Arrives tomorrow. Can't wait. Bargain.

Any good ideas on how to mount this _on_ a table surface and not hanging over the edge? I have a large and deep table with a curved indent on the front where you sit, so it's deeper on both sides of me, so levers would be way back if mounted at the side edges.

I bought this, and with the twin-engine aircraft I can only turn in circles at the start! No good explanation anywhere on how to create a profile for a beechcraft or other twin-engine aircraft in X plane. Hopefully you can help me further?
I think he likes it!
and hmm yeah extension that gives you trim while you already have it?? and so on for flaps... so it's a good but too expensive for what it is
Honeycomb has availability as of right now. Just ordered mine yesterday!
have you noticed the trim wheel has issues responding? Seems I can not get the settings right to be realistic. Any videos or recommendations?

yes but it has been better recently - I tried using some software to set it up as an axis but i created more problems than I solved, particularly when coming off autopilot - so no, sorry I don't
I guess there are potentiometers inside?
but don't understand , you have a switch to select the thing to modify , why do you have the same as buttons then where are those for???

It's all relative.. I mean to have same/similar functionality with the Saitek/Logitech stuff, you would need the yoke system, second throttle quadrant, trim wheel, switch panel, and multi panel. Add it all up and you're not THAT far away from the Honeycomb combo...

Money no object - the TPR pendular pedals by thrust master - they really are a thing of beauty but come at a price. For a bit less then I would look at virpil’s line up. I personally think rudder pedals are very overlooked and a really important accessory, avoid cheap ones from Logitech and thrust master.
Do we still need to download 3rd party software to get all features to work?

Not with msfs, it works straight out of the box
There is a lot of mis information in these comments and review. It works out of the box is far from the truth. It uses pots for the axis rather than Hall effect sensors and there have been problems with the internal wiring breaking due to a poor design. Don’t take my word for it or a single reviewers, do your own research people it’s not all positive.
