Honeycomb Bravo Throttle How to Configure Thrust, trim, gear, flaps, spoilers, and Reversers in MSFS

In this video I show the basic programming for the reverse thrust levers, gear, flaps, trim, and main thrust levers in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. As always if you have any questions, concerns, or issues, comment them below and I will do the best I can to help you.

The honeycomb guys needs to take all three of your videos and prominently display on their website.

[@DanielNavas1]

THANKS MY G!! This finally let me use reverse thrust properly! You da man.

[@camo853]

WOW! Your video was the easiest way to learn how to do it out of all the video's out there, and you were easy to understand! Well done!!!

[@wallyrodaviation]

Thank you very much! I’m glad I could help!

[@donc9751]

Thank you for your time and effort explaining this! I only just receives my Honeycomb yoke and throttle and am setting them up. 1st time flying (a twin engine barron) the trim wheel seems to do little to nothing and by default the yoke when centered was pushing the nose of the plane down into a death dive. Thanks again for helping with your knowledge and I subscribed, want to see more of your videos!

[@mrwalker967]

Thank you

[@PeterNGloor]

I have done as you have described to assign the trim wheel on the Honecomb Bravo, but my trim will not budge. I can only trim with the electric trim button on the yoke. Any idea?

[@HaNguyen-ox6zl]

Do we need to install any program? my one works with all button except throttle, pitch and mixture ( when I moved the the lever up and down MFS doesn't recognise it ). MFS 2020 version 1.14.5.0. Can you help me out?

[@pslueh615]

Excellent video - thank you. Missing the function "idle reverse" as sometimes you want idle reverse on roll-out and use Autobrakes/manual brakes only; aircraft LW is very low, long runway etc ..... so ..... how would one config/assign that? In particular for my B744F. Cheers

[@roncarney9158]

Wish I had found your channel earlier, well Done!!

[@marcw.5492]

What I ever I assign I cannot move the Bravo levers back to idle without moving into the REVERSER detent in the Cockpit... ANy ideas ?

[@liquidbassdrive]

For the gear... the Alpha yoke switches use the „set“ keybindings for the desired settings. Have you tried to use the Set Gear option?

[@wallyrodaviation]

I have not yet

[@erik5108]

Do you have to change bindings if you want to do GA? And can you showcase different throttle layouts? Thanks for the vid :)

[@wallyrodaviation]

Yes, binding will have to be changed. I might do a video on GA

[@gd8205]

In for GA. I really enjoy the kingair

[@rich4071]

I thought your instructions were perfect. Thank you. I have one question for you. When you start to configure the setup for an airplane, do you start with a clean slate? Meaning there is no other bindings setup. I just can't seem to get it right. Rich J

[@wallyrodaviation]

Yes, I always make sure to start on a fresh profile to ensure no interference

[@rich4071]

@@wallyrodaviation Thank you for your reply. I'll see if I can do it. 🥴

[@viajandoconwenfher5191]

Can you make a video on how to configure the throttle settings for different type of planes ?

[@wallyrodaviation]

Sure I'll look into doing so

[@tombernard1665]

When I set the mixture using axis 1 -100-to 100 no matter how I do it (start mixture forward and pull back or vice versa) it results in it set backwards to the lever. Even with just 1 movement (no return movement),same result. Can not click "reverse".

[@wallyrodaviation]

There might be a similar setting for the mixture, like -100 to 100

[@oooooo1535]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@lesoilgaming269]

Thank you for this but it'is normal that I do not have the LED ?

[@wallyrodaviation]

Yes it is normal, in order to activate the LEDs you must install their software. If you have MSFS from steam, I have a video showing you how to do so.

[@wingman2472]

Hi wonder if you can help . I just got my Bravo Throttle & have problem with the lights not working have installed the latest drivers for it in the right folder for game, but still not working my the levers work & light up when moving in the set up but Buttons don't display light function when testing ? is my control Broken ?

[@wallyrodaviation]

I would locate the uninstaller application for the drivers, run it, and then go about the process again and make sure the game isn't running

[@Residentrounds]

Hey. Does the flap lever have detents or does it just move freely?

[@wallyrodaviation]

It moves freely, however there are plenty of free STL files to add detents for certain aircraft, as well as many cheap and affordable solutions on the internet to do so

[@SoTotallyToby]

Surely you'd want to use the elevator trim axis for the trim wheel rather than "trim up" and "trim down"? If you use those you're just emulating digital keypresses on an axis.

[@wallyrodaviation]

The trim wheel on the Bravo is not actually an axis, but two buttons, one for down, and one for up.

[@SoTotallyToby]

@@wallyrodaviation damn really? That seems like a really odd decision to go with on Honeycombs part.

[@wallyrodaviation]

@@SoTotallyToby I was shocked to see that too

[@andrewmorris3479]

@@wallyrodaviation The problem I’m having with the Bravo trim wheel is that it’s just too slow for C172 type aircraft. Any way to speed up the nose down/up trim?

[@wallyrodaviation]

@@andrewmorris3479 Too my knowledge there is no way to speed up the trim wheel action

[@crosshyparu]

My spoilers axis is not binding. The input flashes when I pass 50%m but the axis refuses to move. What am I missing?

[@wallyrodaviation]

Make sure you save the binding after you bind it

[@dongallagher7756]

So how does the trim wheel actually move the trim tab, if it is not switches ?

[@wallyrodaviation]

The trim wheel is two internal buttons rather than an axis. So whe nyou move the wheel forward it rapidly presses a button, and same for moving the wheel backward.

[@curtiscole8213]

On the 4 engine setup, the program won't recognize the throttle #3 reverse thruster when I flip it back, nothing appears on the scan screen. I've swapped out a functioning switch with #3 and eliminated that it was the actual switch itself. All the reverse thrust levers are in working order. Could it be something in the bravo unit itself or just a software glitch? Frustrating.

[@wallyrodaviation]

I had the same issue funny enough, I am pretty sure it is the throttle itself

[@curtiscole8213]

@@wallyrodaviation sad part is that I just received the Alpha and Bravo in April and neither have been used much. Thanks for the reply.

[@Marcodinho158]

I don’t see the flaps axis -100 to 100 on my msfs, any other suggestions?

[@jaspertimms]

Hey! You need to turn on "all" under the filter section let me know if it works.

[@johnlloyd5184]

Thank you great videos, could you do one for honeycomb yoke

[@hurtfeelings2346]

Can't get the spoiler axis to work. Any ideas?

[@wallyrodaviation]

make sure you don't have it binded to anything else, and make sure you bind it to the correct function

[@ChickenTube23]

When you engage the autothrottle would the throttle levers move? (Not in the simulator)

[@wallyrodaviation]

On the bravo quadrant, no. If you want levers that move with the sim, you’ll have to look for a “motorized throttle” quadrant. I do warn you though, that these units cost much more.

[@ChickenTube23]

@@wallyrodaviation Thank you!

[@xill455]

Hey, so I have an issue where when I put my thrust levers in idle it goes into reverse I have no clue how to fix this or if it’s just a bug. I also have an issue with the A/T button I click it and it doesn’t work please help

[@wallyrodaviation]

Are you using the Fly By Wire a320?

[@xill455]

@@wallyrodaviation Yes I am

[@wallyrodaviation]

@@xill455 Ok, so is what you need to do is go to the little tablet on your left in the cockpit, and go to the throttle settings. Basically you have to program the positions for the throttle directly from the FBW A320. Once you find the settings, make sure you do manual programing and you should be good.

[@xill455]

@@wallyrodaviation ok thank u

[@xill455]

@@wallyrodaviation can you give me your sensitivity for the bravo throttle quadrant because apparently mine isn’t “syncing” with the values on the flypad

[@natedogg7376]

Just got my Bravo a couple weeks ago and the throttle/prop/mix all did not work at all. Cleared em out and rebound and they now register but not correctly. It turns my axis into a button rather than a sliding axis. The white bar disappears and the reverse axis box disappears and treats the lever like an on off switch. Can't find anyone having this issue either. Rebinding doesn't work past the initial issue of not registering at all. Sensitivity shows the levers sliding like they should so it's not the hardware. When I get home I might play with sensitivity settings and see if I get around bug ( kinda like rebinding). Idk.....anyone? Bueller?

[@TheGuWie]

I had this problem in the beginning too. Not sure if it was before I installed the software. Or it just took me a while to get used to scanning the axis. This problem just disappeared after a few tries. I remember it only detected + or - buttons when I was in the upper or lower region of the axis. Did you solve it?

[@natedogg7376]

@@TheGuWie yes I did. Go into settings and clear the axis and validate it. And back on the options click on it again to set, it then reads the “letter” axis without the -/+ so it works awesome now. Before I did clear the axis but then I did not validate it with nothing on it and immediately rebound axis and I treated it like a button so it was like a half fix. But validating and it returns you too the options list pick it again then rebind and it works. Just make sure on the left do you have a toggle to show you all actions whether they’re programmed or not so it shows up on the list. I saw this fix online I just did not validate when I cleared it first. And it acting like a button lead me to believe something else was wrong. The only software you need in MSFS2020 is the driver for the leds as far as I know.

[@TheGuWie]

@@natedogg7376 yep, that must be it. Always respect the validate button! ;)

why don't you talk about the reverse? That I also want to asign. Oh now I see it, in: 2.39 minute

[@tommacdonald2291]

Hwo in the world did you learn this stuff? Do you work for honeycomb or something? How did you figure all this out so susinctly with no real instructions out there?

[@wallyrodaviation]

I do not work for honeycomb, it was really just a strong assumption I had and then I tested it out, and when when the thing I tested turned out to be the correct way, I assumed it was the same for the rest of the binds. There was definitely trial and error though for sure!
