Hands-On Comparison: Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke and Honeycomb Alpha Yoke

[@doug_EX]

The Thrustmaster Boeing yoke, Honeycomb throttle quadrant and Logitech Radio panel would be quite a combo IMO. Lets not forget a good set of pedals too.

[@poliboy1980]

Very good review/hands on comparison. Straight-forward analysis, no silly comments or silly jokes, just straight up discussion. I use a four-engine Thrustmaster setup using two Airbus throttle quadrants, a TCA sidestick, and a Honeycomb Yoke. This Boeing yoke is poking my interest. SUBBED! Keep it up.

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

Appreciate the sub!!! 🙏🏾

[@Chris_rides_scoots]

Great video, love flying jets especially the PMDG lineup that along with this video made me go with the TCA Boeing Yoke. Another thing you could mention is depending on your aircraft preference you may be more well suited to the Airbus sidestick if you enjoy more Airbus flying (I cant imagine why) Great video helped alot!

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

Yeah I made a video highlighting the tca captain x pack

[@AirborneGeek]

Agree with this 100 percent

[@AmillionCo]

can you set one of them buttons for few view that u like ? 🤔

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

The buttons are customizable

[@defenderoFreedom]

Problem with honeycomb yoke: no throttle option😢 That's kind of important in the flying realm

[@cole7695]

nice video! i have a boeing thrustmaster yoke it has worked well but unfortunately recently it has had some drift and the left throttle slider controls the yoke axis for some reason. Really terrible considering the $500 price tag

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

Interesting. I would consider maybe contacting support? That's weird

[@eliasdruzbik6581]

I searched up your problem and (supposedly) putting a magnet to the back of the yoke should fix it, like one of these neodim magnets or however you call them

[@declangunn8332]

@@eliasdruzbik6581 I have the same problem. It is not worth the hassle for the price tag. Customer service is extremely slow and unhelpful. Currently making an attempt to return to Amazon

[@Xavier_today]

I can adjust the sensivity of the yoke in the settings Right? Thanks for the vid

[@markgriffin2285]

I finally installed my yoke and one of the small pieces on the left handle broke off. I wrote their customer support and this is what they wrote back to me After thoroughly reviewing our inventory and available replacement parts, we regret to inform you that the specific part you require is not available as a standalone replacement. We understand how important this part is for the optimal functioning of your product, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Sorry to have no better news.

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

This is for honeycomb right?

[@markgriffin2285]

@@JacobGagoOfficial Yes the Honeycomb Yoke!

[@smoremossi]

Great Video, Do you recommend the Turtle beach velocity one yoke? I will be flying in Cessna's mostly.

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

No I don’t.

[@realCriminalLawyer]

I really want the Boeing one but when you googled "TCA Boeing Yoke Problems" there are hundreds of posts talking about issues like the Roll Axis messing up after a few months :(

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

I wouldn’t even care about that. I’m still yet to have a single problem.

[@realCriminalLawyer]

@@JacobGagoOfficial That's awesome. I wouldn't mind it a lot either, there's always the option to contact Thrustmaster for support. My issue is that I live somewhere else because of work reasons, making it impossible to buy it at my current location (costs 3x the normal amount). I'll be travelling back to the US for a week and thought about picking it up. If there happens to be a problem while I am far away, it's gonna be a huge problem for me to fix it. There are quite some QC issues with this one, so for some it works perfect and for others not. I don't know if it's worth taking this risk given that I live far away from any support

[@alexsp7086]

Half the people don’t know how to look after their stuff. That’s the reality. The warthog throttle I’ve had for 7 years not one thing is broken or at fault. Yet people complain about it but when I see their video clips I ask my self HOW HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THOSE BUTTONS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN CHEWED OR THROWN AROUND.

[@tomashartvig4022]

You're saying that Honeycomb CS would be hard to reach. What are you basing that on? I heard nothing in your video supporting that statement.

[@YsAviation]

i dont kniw what to get. the honeycomb is cheaper but im after an airliner style one. any advice?

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

Yeah bro you can do what I did get the Boeing. TCA yoke. Made a video on this check it out

[@jamesbp]

I watch real airline pilots who make msfs content, quite a few of them have the thrustmaster yoke. A select few do have the brunner force feedback yokes but based on my needs im pulling the trigger on the boeing. Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

When I get better at flying I'll upgrade my whole setup to include more realistic movements.

[@relx4313]

I never played Microsoft flight simulator but i love aviation and i want to buy yoke should i buy Honeycomb as a beginner yoke ?

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

Two questions for you. (1) What type of plans do you want to fly? Commercial (Bigger planes) or General aviation (smaller planes)? (2) What's your budget?

[@mikeowoeye]

What camera do you use?

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

A7IV :)

[@KnowTheDifference-dm8yv]

What is the best yoke and pedals for the honeycomb?

[@JacobGagoOfficial]

Which Honeycomb are you referring to? That's just the name of the company.

[@MartinHankoUSA]

i would bye Honecomb alpha yoke because i don't fly that much and alpha yoke is lower price thats why i dont wanna spend 500 dollars when i fly like 4 times a week

[@DavidGonzalezGarcia]

External view and instruments in the screen... its a no go.

[@PlatinNr1]

i always get triggered when someone plays in external view...

[@ciudadanosdelcosmos]

Does it has force feedback?

[@luhswagga2932]

No not many have ffb now days .. they had more in the 90’s.. I was looking for one too .. I wish atless have vibration

It can be used for the A320, 737 etc.
