The high-quality mechanics offer a realistic full 180° turn radius with a self-centring mechanism with no dead zone to control the aileron. Lenghtwise, the steel shaft allows for 15 cm of travel. The mechanism is all metal for durability. Finally (Whew – a ton of information in this one!), Honeycomb Aeronautical announced the Flight Sim Academy: an educational STEM program designed to get kids interested in education via flight simulation. This will be a completely free program for teachers and institutions, entirely funded by Honeycomb, and the company aims to open at least 30 locations in the next 5 years. Their ambitious plans call for reaching 400 STEM programs annually and starting over 100 new ones per year. Honeycomb plans to offer a “Next-Gen” aviation education facility with curriculum materials from aviation staples such as Newton, AOPA, and Gleim, using their simulator products. If you can't find your aircraft inside the Templates, send us a Request via the Config Tool (Menu ? -> Request Aircraft Template) The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Pro will incorporate all the Alpha’s improvements with new, improved sensors. New Boeing & Airbus flap lever accessories & new Xbox hubImportant: Before you uninstall the old version, please be sure to export your profiles to a save place! Maybe I’m missing something obvious but is there a reason we have to use a third-party plugin to interact with the FSUIPC to actuate switches that have a binding available in MSFS? I don’t see why this should be required at all? Landing, taxi, strobe, etc. are all pretty straight-forward. I can see maybe the Nav/Strobe combo switch being troublesome but even that logic seems reasonably easy: if the strobe is on, nav/strobe is the intent.

For the new MSFS, you don't need a configuration tool and you only need this software to light up the LEDs, I used my Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo controls for about a year before I decided to give SPAD.neXt a try. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you sit down and start learning how it works, it turns out that it really isn't too hard to get everything working so that flipping a switch on the hardware will activate the switch in the aircraft. Added customizable delay for normal/fast repeat in milliseconds on a per press-event basis (default 600ms) Fixed bug where floating point values for relative variables (e.g. +=0.1) could not be assigned via the ConfiguratorAll together a great Flight Simulator hardware investment and therefore my favorite X-Plane hardware." Profiles are loaded on a 3 second delay after aircraft change to allow for correct initialization of all commandRefs/dataRefs BE FACTUAL: When you post, always be factual. Moderators will remove posts that are determined not to be factually accurate. Added ability to add relative variables values with optional boundaries (prefixed by +=/-= in value field) The Alpha Controls Yoke and Switch panel is a well contructed unit and worth the €249 price tag. If Honeycomb set out to hit a middle ground market place between budget and high end system then it has certainly met its goal. It will be interesting to see how the other competitors in the market respond."

Honeycomb Aeronauticals Alpha Flight Controls is one of the most advanced yokes currently available for PC flight simulation. It was designed to fulfil the requirements of both flight simulation users and student or full-time pilots. The aerospace grade internal components feature realistic ergonomics for a true flying experience. If you only have a toggle function you can now define the correct switch position via the Condition Variable (take a look at the new Default Template) Customizing names of press- and release events in Configurator does no longer need confirmatory "return" The LowRiderPLUS™ Flight Simulator Yoke Mount can accept either the Honeycomb™ Alpha or Logitech yoke plus the HoneyComb™ Bravo throttle or 2 Logitech Throttle Quadrants for Twin Engine flight simulators.Flight simulator accessories maker, Honeycomb Aeronautical, has showcased several upcoming Xbox and PC-compatible products. On the left handle there are wo buttons, two 2-way hat switches, and a push to talk button, while the right handle features two 2-way and an 8-way switch as well as a button. This forum is designed primarily as a vehicle for the PMDG development team to interact with our customers, and for customers to interact with one another in a manner that is positive, supportive and assists in the general advancement of understanding the simulation and helping to make this and future simulations better.

The knobs thread into recessed nuts which you install under your desk. See the setup guide or video for installation details.

and light switches, as well as a 5-position ignition switch. The left and right handles feature one Under Desk Mounts for Flight Simulator Yokes and Throttles LowRider™ allows you to mount your Honeycomb Alpha, Bravo, or Logitech yoke and throttles under the desk where they belong! Closing out Honeycomb’s spot at FSExpo 2023 was the announcement of a PC partnership with Origin PC, Corsair’s boutique PC brand, as well as a Flight Sim Academy designed to get kids interested in aviation via flight simulation. The Corsair/Origin PC partnership is intended to provide simmers with “turnkey PC solutions” that are spec’d out for flight simulation. They look like they will be branded with Honeycomb branding, and Honeycomb stated that they would have some type of software tweaking to be ready for flight simulation out-of-the-box. No concrete pricing or release timeline was announced. Added "Master" LED functionality, so all LEDs can e.g. stay off when there is no electricity availableThe Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke & Switch Panel is the most advanced flight simulation system available to simmers, flight students and pilots. The yoke has a full 180° yoke rotation with smooth control and no center detent or dead zone. The base includes a Switch Panel with master, alternator, avionics, and light switches as well as a 5-position ignition switch. The left and right handles feature 13 programmable buttons and switches for fully customizable flight. The Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke & Switch Panel was designed and developed in California by pilots and aerospace engineers to ensure the most realistic flight simulation experience possible.
