Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Auto Pilot & Annunciator Panel in aviation quality for flight simulator | Universal control system for simmer and pilots | PC

This item is fantastic. Works well robustly built and gives another level of immersion. Purchased additional levers for different aircraft and makes it feel all the more real with reverse thrust and auto pilot part of it. Must have if you love MSFS

Okay, lets get the elephant in the room out of the way, the price! Yes it is expensive, but worth every penny. However, the learning curve on how to set it up is very steep, not helped by MSFS 2020's and X-Plane11's control mapping interfaces. It does come with a default profile that is basic and gets you going, and you have to download a small piece of software from Honeycomb's website to get the LED's working correctly. . It is also a helpful jumping off point to assigning the buttons and customising it to your style of flying. Once set up, park your keyboard, you will not need it, especially if you have the yoke. The various buttons and switches all have a positive feel to them and the throttle levers are very smooth in operation and have a rear detent switch built in.The unit itself is very well made and feels like it could take bashing. It comprises of an autopilot, gear lever, flap switch, 7 assignable switches, annunciator panel, trim wheel and 6 throttle levers which can be assigned any of the throttle, prop, mixture. You get two types of throttle levers: twin piston and 4 engine Boeing style. Easy enough to figure out where to put them. Value for money, yes its almost £300, but that is a a lot of throttle unit for the price and better than some others "cough"saitek"cough." In my opinion, maybe a radio stack would have been better than an annunciator, but I'm nit picking.If someone asked me to recommend a throttle unit for them, this would be the one. I have the Saitek/Logitech throttle unit and that is not even in the same ball park as this on throttle levers alone.Value - 4/5. There are cheaper units, but this has the quality.Build Quality - 4.5/5. Its plastic not metal, but good quality plastics.Ease of Use - 3/5. Steep learning curve.Overall - 4/5.

Love it, but needs a lot of desk space. Took quite a bit to identify why all my light switches didnt work. It was down to also getting a new Yoke. It has light switches as well. One or other needs the switches to be reassigned to another simulator function.Particularly like the Auto pilot switch assembly. Mixed feeling on the trim wheel. It takes a lot of turning to make significant adjustments. Its as if it needs a 'gain' knob along side it.The levers all have electrical contacts on them that suggest further features were intended. The White levers have another lever attached but these seem to be for show only.

The throttle quadrant was amazing and can with almost zero flaws. However, the GA flap was slanted and didn’t look straight.

This is a well made and designed throttle quadrant. Its materials feel high quality and it looks the part. The one issue with it is that it works out of the box, in part, but there is a lot of setting up that is required to program the buttons and lights so they do what you want them to do.In X-plane 12 the quadrant will have to be programmed separately with a profile for each aeroplane that you will fly. This is not a straightforward task, since the programming is split between the excellent flight controls configurator built in to X-plane, and the Honeycomb configurator that specifically deals with profile editing. This HC configurator is complex and while there are any number of videos on tube that show you how to set about the configuration, it is a long learning curve and can be very frustrating.Having said that it will be worth the time and trouble taken to sort it out since when it is completed it will provide a superb experience. Just be prepared to put some time and effort in to get there!

this is a must buy for flight sim 2020. i have the yoke as well. adds a lot to the sim you can change the levers around for each aircraft. it lights all the warning signs up if you go to there site to download the drivers. go on utube to find out how to do this. as i said a must buy for flight sim it well worth the money. i am waiting for the charlie pedals to be on sale. just buy.

Most of this unit works well with MSFS. But the trim wheel does not.

You can definitely find cheaper out there for better quality. I went for this one as it was supposed to be the best but Throttle not so accurate if u sim on a Cessna. I wouldn’t buy it again
