And before I forget it, only applicable for the “Commercial” throttle levers which have at the bottom of each lever 3 electrical contacts. I was hoping for such a design and feature, but the hope has become reality and OK, it may look when transforming your Bravo device into a commercial aircraft a bit more Boeing then Airbus, it’s still an awesome solution/option. I'm running xplane 12 on an M1 Mac and the lights weren't working even after running the configurator.

When you connect the Bravo Throttle Quadrant while X-Plane is already up and running, a popup window appears that tells you that new hardware is detected. I copied from xplane 11 folder but if I make changes to a profile and load into a plane in 12 the changes are not there. When there’s a need to have a bit more friction on the levers, you can adjust the friction knob on the right-hand side of the Bravo.In terms of innovation and features, Honeycomb has done an excellent job with the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. Clearly noted in the English (and for sure in the German and French too) manual is that when you follow the cleaning instructions of the 3M Micro-Suction, you can be use on and on.

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. Keep in mind, when you set the FLAPS to 5, 10, 15 or any other position, the slots you have in the simulated X-Plane 737NG, you don’t have these on the Bravo FLAP scale. For the the HC Throttle worked without having to copy/paste anything over from XP11, however, I can't get the righter rotary knob/dial to work, the increase/decrease value. I hope I can find the right words for this, it looks like that the top layer of the base unit – same as with the Alpha Flight Controls – is covered with a rubber coating which gives a kind of anti-slip look.

Home cockpit builders are surely aware of this situation where they tend to tinker around a lot more than actually fly. While the GA throttles felt about the right size, the Commercial handles felt a bit on the small side. Lets go for an example; as you can see on the above GA related screenshot, it’s now all assigned to the “User Profile”. The last paragraph “ Cleaning” explains how to clean with soap and water using your hands the Micro-Suction pad. According to other Org users it seems that the Aerosoft AFC_Bridge software only works with macOS Big Sur and Catalina.

It is made to be highly configurable and can be set up to replicate the controls in any number of aircraft types. In the middle is a metal connecting pin for the yoke housing to slide in a fixation slot in the unit while on the front side you find openings for the clamps. Next we need to place the Bravo Throttle Quadrant to the mounting plate or actually, we need to slide it backwards.

We added functions that are important in a flight sim environment like extra buttons and hat-switches, so more programmable features and assignments are available. I did notice on the FedEx airway-bill that the overall package weight is 6 kilograms or roughly 13 lbs. Yes, of course, the Auto Pilot section on the Bravo Throttle Quadrant is different then the MCP in the modeled 738, but it’s right now more important that you can enter via the Bravo your IAS, HDG and ALT. The Bravo is designed to simulate the throttle quadrant found in General Aviation (GA) aircraft and commercial jets.

Since I have Parallels for Desktop and VMWare installed, I’m also able to test the Honeycomb Bravo unit with Windows X-Plane as well as that I have a separate drive with Apple’s Bootcamp. According to the law, only the person or entity whose copyrighted work was stolen is entitled to file a copyright claim. For use in an airliner you can choose a configuration with two or four thrust levers, levers for spoiler and flaps.That would be MSFS:ANTI_ICE_GRADUAL_SET_ENG1 which I’ve set via spad-next to the leftmost Bravo lever as axis Y, ranging from -16383 to 16383. When you tighten the screws and this means right-hand rotation of the screw knobs, the slack the Bravo throttle unit had will be reduced till at least one knob/screw is fixed to the mounting plate. Once you’ve calibrated the six levers by moving them over their full travel, the calibration process finishes. Without the Configurator, is there any way to get the Honeycomb Bravos right (increment / decrement) dial to do different things depending on the selection of the left (autopilot mode) dial? It isn’t a long term tested review of the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, but I can tell you right now that it’s a solid, modern and unique piece of hardware not seen before.
