With this base securely mounted, you can then slide the yoke onto the base and tighten a couple of big plastic screws in the back to push everything together. A self-centring mechanism provides a smooth transition to the centre point for the aileron and elevator movement.

There’s videos upon video’s and it’s like FS2020 was almost made for it, so easy to set up – Even my Go flight auto pilot i gave it away, just no support for it . Although it is based on a General Aviation (GA) design, it is also intended to work with any aircraft equipped with a yoke, including airliners, turboprops and business jets. I had the high dollar Precision Flight control throttles and no support and just couldn’t configure them to a point I got rid of it and went with Honey comb throttle and auto pilot . Alpha Flight Control XPC is designed to work with any aircraft equipped with a yoke, including airliners, turboprops and business jets. Personally, I would be quite happy to continue using the old yoke, with a plan to upgrade further down the road as and when funds become available.The smooth operation, the high sensitivity provided by the new sensors, and the 180º degrees rotation, all make for a fantastic and very engrossing experience when flying with the Alpha XPC. Twin rocker switches and two push-buttons can be configured for functions such as aileron and rudder trim. The left and right handles feature 13 programmable buttons and switches for fully customisable flight. While developing the Alpha Flight Controls, Honeycomb took into account the wishes of flightsimmers. Compared to the hat switch on the Saitek/Logitech Pro yoke, give me the Saitek switch over the one fitted on this yoke.

Nicki said that he wanted the best in the industry to work on elements they were good at and PFC was the obvious fit. but it does have Xbox compatibility, improved sensors, and that new design with the spring-loaded ignition.Rather than using springs that can result in strong self-centring forces, the XPC uses nylon strings, which have more uniform control forces throughout the range of movement.

Note: You don’t need the software to use the Yoke together with X-Plane 11, if you like to use it please notice that the software currently only supports Windows 10 (64bit) and macOS (Catalina +). Although this is a pre-production unit, I still have no hesitation in awarding this a score of 98% and our coveted Platinum award. The base houses a backlit switch panel with controls for the battery master, alternator, avionics as well as five external light switches. It is nice that standard profiles are available with the Alpha Flight Controls, for example for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS 2020) or X-Plane 11. Honestly even when grasping the yoke normally with the left hand the reset view switch is far too easily hit.Ok, you’ll likely be pretty convinced about the aesthetics and durability of the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls XPC, but what about the actual usage of the yoke when flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator? Honeycomb Aeronauticals Alpha Flight Controls is one of the most advanced yokes currently available for PC flight simulation. Finally having a yoke that sets a new standard in comfort, functionality and value for money is nothing short of incredible.

if you’re not happy with the speed or precision of the trim as default, it’s hard to adjust without having an external program like FSUIPC or SPAD. Damage caused by connecting components that are not shipped or included with the Honeycomb Products. Before getting into more details about the Alpha Flight Controls XPC, it’s important to highlight the differences between this new yoke and its previous iterations.

A built-in switch panel includes controls for the battery master, alternator, avionics and external lighting. Lo que esperaba de este reconocido producto funcional en todos los aspectos , le da a mi vuelo virtual el realismo que uno espera con los acabados muy buenos. I switched to the XPC after owning the original version for about 18 months and the control sensitivity of the XPC is significantly smoother and feels more direct.
