About this deal

The only problem is, of this writing – January 2021 – I hardly could find at the X-Plane.Org or at the Aerosoft forum, dedicated Airbus json files. The only json file I found was for the ToLiss A319/A321, but no sign “yet” for the FlightFactor A320 Ultimate, the JARDesign A320Neo or their A330, the RW Designs A330, but for sure, the will come. I parked my twin engine Beechcraft Baron 58 at the GA apron KFAT (Fresno Yosemite International Airport), and from that spot I taxi to the runway, make the takeoff, climb out to 6000 feet, level of for a short cruise. Ho ho, hold on. How does the Bravo equipment feels so far? Yes, yes, I’m aware of that.

So, I fixed that manually, and Better Bravo then liked what it saw in the XML and installed. Last night, the last test I did was to run MSFS with the new, Better Bravo modified XML file, and it worked for both itself, and the Fenix software in terms of autorunning. Suppose you turn the selector knob on the left-hand side to VS (Vertical Speed) you can increase/decrease the VS value with the right-hand knob and of course, the X-Plane aircraft will correspond in accordance what you select. And last but not least, there’s an AP button on the far right to engage/disengage the AP. Thanks to this suggestion, I also added Better Bravo Lights. It identified a problem in my exe.xml file that made it refuse to install, and ultimately I found that the Bravo software itself had forgotten a "/" at the end of it's exe.xml entry.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. 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. Once you’ve calibrated the six levers by moving them over their full travel, the calibration process finishes.

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. The same what was applicable to the Alpha Flight Control is also applicable for the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. It is a heavy duty device, with a stiff mounting plate that can also be connected to the table with the 3M Micro-Suction pad. When you use the clamps, you could use it also in combination with the 3M Micro-Suction, but there’s actually no need for. You can leave the plastic on the mounting plate and connect it only with the clamps. Either way works and my personal preference was using only the 3M Micro-Suction since when I don’t fly, I would like to have a clean desk. I have another big recommendation here. Look in the settings for controllers in the simulator (I do not use P3D so cannot point you). Unbind any that you find for the Bravo for buttons and switches and set those in the Honeycomb configurator. Eliminate any duplication. Additional features are provided by the gear switch, the trim wheel, and 7 freely programmable switches so the user does not need to reach out to the keyboard as often. a. I am grateful for your suggestion about the basic test, it helped me narrow down my problem, I would wish that test had been mentioned in the video-‚user guide‘;There’s one more thing I would like to bring to your attention and that is using User Profiles and linking these user profiles to a certain aircraft. Lets go for an example; as you can see on the above GA related screenshot, it’s now all assigned to the “User Profile”. A better idea is to save it under a different name like GA Twin Engine. The Bravo Throttle Quadrant is a great and makes the simulation a lot more realistic. However, although the Bravo is easy to repair - screws everywhere - Honeycomb don't sell parts. The flap lever broke on my unit after 26 months (2 months after the expiration of the warranty), and after many discussion with Honeycomb, my only alternative was to buy a new unit. That's not great for the environment. This review has become a bit longer than expected. Since the start I collected a lot of additional information that resulted in a lot of enthusiasm, but also a lengthy review. Due to the length of this review and the chapters/sections about the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, I’ve decided to include a Table of Contents. I hope you’ll enjoy this review that covers my own explorations of this well designed, durable and looking great Honeycomb product. Table Of Contents Some words about the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant. It’s heavy and feel durable and professional although it’s from plastic, but I said that before, you’ve got plastic and plastic however, they can feel as rubbish material or as professional components which is the case with the Honeycomb hardware.

If an add-on aircraft has a dedicated developed AP, it could be that the assignments for AP commands are different then the ones assigned by the joy file. That said, when this happens you should go in my humble opinion for User Profiles. b. I found that my installation of the configurator/driver software was not complete, apparently; Imhad not suspected that because everything seemed to work, just not the switches; however, I did not know about the ‚reload‘ feature in the P3D add-on folder; I saw that the reload function was not present in my installation; Watch very carefully the difference between Event "Conditions" and Event "Variables" as he moves through the video. Some items are set as Conditions, and others as Variables, For Conditions there is a small grayed out slider that has to be slid to the right to then set Condition Variables. It is confusing because under Events are two groups, one Conditions, the other Variables. But there is a subsection under Conditions that is also named Variables. So watch what he does as he makes settings because he does not always mention all of what he is doing. Look both above and below the blue Close box in the image I am including. Note the presence of two separate areas for Variables. Most of the buttons are set as Variables. Use of the two knobs if I recall correctly require use of Conditions with underlying Variables. Also, if you use FSUIPC with P3D I highly recommend you locate the FSUIPC.ini, the associated .log files, and any FSUIPC profiles you have created and remove them to another location. I was having strange behavior in FSX SE even though I had gone into FSUIPC and had unbound all my button and switch settings, and my axis settings and calibration. Removing the FSUIPC files I mentioned above, then using the Honeycomb Configurator to set buttons and switches worked. Same with the yoke axis'. d. I then configured the switches to: battery, alternator, strobe, beacon, nav, taxi, landing lights;
