Org user, I re-downloaded the package from Aerosoft and only, I repeat only copied and paste the honeycomb-configurator. 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. After downloading and installing the drivers in X-Plane, setting the Bravo up was very straightforward. I first remove the upper foam part which covered the box that holds the previous mentioned boxes with levers. if it really will not work wit X-Plane 12, then there will be an update or a XP12 version developed.
Oops, that’s not of the same size and for sure also a different construction of the Saitek Throttle unit. It is made to be highly configurable and can be set up to replicate the controls in any number of aircraft types. According to founder Nicki “Based in San Diego CA, Honeycomb Aeronautical was founded in 2015 with the sole goal of creating and providing affordable flight simulation hardware. Due to the same design and construction I’ve seen with the Flight Controls unit, the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant has the same dual mounting plate solution.Adding to these paragraphs, you can find additional json profile files thus other aircraft types, at this dedicated Aerosoft Bravo Throttle Quadrant forum page. I'm running xplane 12 on an M1 Mac and the lights weren't working even after running the configurator. Is it possible to install the Honeycomb Configurator (downloaded by changing the http:// to https://), running Windows 11 Home with X-Plane 12, but do NOT have X-Plane 11 installed? I hope you’ll enjoy this review that covers my own explorations of this well designed, durable and looking great Honeycomb product.
by directly copying it over to the X-Plane 12 folder, or by doing toby23s workaround to get the installer to recognize the X-Plane 12 install location. The encoders are simply dual push buttons that need to be assigned to functions like any other button. When you don’t need the mounting plate for a while, then follow the instructions in the manual, reapply the plastic covering to preserve quality and condition of the 3M Micro-Suction. Then, assuming you have set the left-hand selector knob to VS, you can with the right-hand selector – INCR/DECR knob – know increase/decrease the aircraft vertical speed. Alternatively, with the Commercial handles the levers are lifted to engage reverse thrust similarly to what you would do on a Boeing jet.We have been made aware of a video by the YouTuber SimHanger, which details the full config process. Not just new hardware, no, it tells you that the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is connected and needs to be calibrated as is needed with all connected hardware. 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. While the GA throttles felt about the right size, the Commercial handles felt a bit on the small side.
The Honeycomb Aeronautical team is working on that and can be bought as an add-on for your Bravo Throttle Quadrant to give it an Airbus look like. In other words, there’s no need to keep, once you’ve placed the mounting plate with the 3M Micro-Suction to the table, it mounted on the table. The whole Bravo Throttle Quadrant feels heavy, no, better to say feels solid and made of durable components.Additional features include an undercarriage handle with green/red lights to indicate the status of the landing gear and a GA-style elevator trim wheel.
Not surprisingly since the inside is fully packed with foam so under normal conditions nothing can and will happen. Hopefully this can be fixed, because other than that it's a lot better than the default Honeycomb bridge. I did the import as Everyday Normal Geek stated in his procedure and everything works except the throttle. Not sure if/how you can do that directly via MSFS controls though, if spad-next (or other similar app) is not an option. Besides the flyers, the Honeycomb manual is available in three different languages; English, German and French.
The reason that the “Commercial” box is a bit higher has to do with the overall length of the throttle levers and the FLAP lever. Since I prefer to use the pad without the clamps, I’m curious how this works so off I go, cleaning with soap and water the 3M plate.
Great Deal
