The suction cup fixes the throttle quadrant to a desktop with a tensile strength of 40lb to hold it securely in place. Besides throttles for GA single and multi aircraft, it also comes with a set for commercial aircraft and it also offers an annunciator light panel and AP panel. Design: The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is designed to ensure the most versatile flight simulation experience possible. It is also supported natively by the new Microsoft Flight Simulator (MFS), so there is no need to download any drivers in this particular case. However, I must admit that the suction pad holds the equipment very securely – so securely that I felt like I would lift the whole desk when trying to remove it.

By becoming a supporter, you’ll unlock a host of benefits, all available at affordable rates: starting at just €2 per month or €20 for a whole year. And like the Alpha yoke, it has sparked a great deal of interest within the flight simulation industry. Both the Alpha Flight Controls XPC and Bravo Throttle Quadrant are made out of great materials, the handles are all very ergonomic and properly sized even for my larger hands, and offer a ton of features that made my life much easier.Similarly, while the responsiveness of the trim wheel was excellent, the actual movement felt a bit on the light side. There is also a two-way GA-type flap switch so it is possible to use either the flap lever for flying airliners, or for general aviation we can use the two-way flap switch. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. It supports various cockpit systems, such as autopilot, annunciator panel, gear switch, flaps, and trim. Each of the engine’s handles is equipped with reverse thrust levers, which is modelled on a typical Boeing-type mechanism.

The Bravo is ‘Plug and Play’ and connects to the PC via a single USB C cable so there is no power supply necessary. I love the Warthog quadrant but obviously for civilian jets the versatile system with flaps and spoiler lever as well as gears etc was tempting. The annunciator panel with 14 signal lights shows the most important status and warning messages of the board systems.It allows you to very easily play around with your autopilot settings without having to reach out for the mouse.

Directly below those, you can find seven additional programmable switches and an annunciator panel, with 14 warning lights. To top that, it also comes with a five-year warranty and free lifetime technical support so I have no hesitation in awarding the Bravo Throttle Quadrant a score of 95% and our Platinum award.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. Having flown 727s and 737s IRL as well as having worked on 707s , 747s and L-1011s in maintenance, I know what size the throttles should be. I made use of the default keybindings and reminded certain buttons to fit my needs, especially related to camera controls.
