Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Review

[@thatguy6207]

I like it…still wish I could find some Cessna throttles that don’t cost as much as a Cessna.

[@StefAnimation]

Hahaha good one

[@thatguy6207]

@Romulus III oddly, quality Cessna controls have been hard to find.

[@FlightLife_Scout]

Haha

[@yaenlauper7272]

3:08 As a student of film, you have performed phenomenal editing at this part. Subscribed!

[@Greazer]

Magical cinematography, wow!

[@nikolaaskaas]

damn, i only just realized how tricky that must have been!

[@siigari]

I paused the video and said "wait". That was impressive. My ears are open if you'd like to share your method, @Virtual Reality Pilot! I will say it looks like it's on a track, you can see it in the reflection along the bottom of the panel :)

[@bobbyrutz9402]

Glad you pointed that out. Pretty sweet.

[@lowlowseesee]

Right?!?!

[@Serbianpilot_]

I took your advice and i ordered the Boeing yoke standalone, and ordered this throttle quadrant! Thank you for the great reviews 👍🏼

[@deancatanzarite6388]

You made what was a really hard decision easy after watching your videos. Just purchased both! Thank you very much!!! Liked and subscribed!

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

So glad the video was helpful, welcome to the channel

[@SiStockbridge]

Just done the same myself!

[@lowlowseesee]

Best review fir this I’ve seen and just overall a great product review. Great gliding shots

[@matthewcollins2176]

Took everything you said and I ordered the Alpha and bravo super excited this Christmas!

[@GreatDataVideos]

You sold me! Just ordered one. Thanks for such a great review.

[@bobykim5311]

But the most important question has not been answered: what is the tech inside? Potentiometers or hall effect? If using potentiometers the risk of failing levers due to spiking is real

[@OnceShy_TwiceBitten]

spiking?

[@anthonyvallillo422]

Have this, and it is all that the review would lead you to believe. Honeycomb support is outstanding as well. Can't beat that combination!

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Couldn’t agree more

[@pepeiglesias9603]

Hello. Could you tell me how was your experience with the trim wheel in the honeycomb throttle? I would really appreciate if you could give me your opinion

[@anthonyvallillo422]

@@pepeiglesias9603 The trim wheel has worked very well. It is, of course, a small (roughly 1/3 size) analogue of a Boeing trim wheel as found on the Boeing jets up through the 737. It is also similar in operation to a Cessna trim wheel, although it looks different. Except for the friction load of the trim cables in a real airplane, it operates very realistically. You can have both the trim wheel and the trim switches on the Alpha Yoke assigned to the trim, just as in a real plane.

[@brentfugett2700]

I have the Bravo Throttle and agree with the agree with the review, the feel and interchangable throttles are absolutely stellar. My only real gripe is the error panel; it's not ideally located. With the throttle forward (as in flight) the levers obscure the panel, not to mention the panel faces UP, not directly at your eyes, so they're difficult to see. Still this is indeed a stellar product.

First video I’ve watched - looked up the amount of subscribers - was shook - ngl thought of 6M or so. A bright-futured channel 👍🏼

[@RanmaSyaoranSaotome]

Excellent review and cinematography Tao!

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

[@MACQ98]

Great review & great video! Thank you so much, you've helped me make up my mind to get this.

[@henrikolsen5]

Any good ideas on how to mount this _on_ a table surface and not hanging over the edge? I have a large and deep table with a curved indent on the front where you sit, so it's deeper on both sides of me, so levers would be way back if mounted at the side edges.

[@OnceShy_TwiceBitten]

yeah not sure why they didn't make the bottom a flush mount. Maybe 3d print a bracket spacer?

[@micagas]

Amazing! finally after years WE HAVE THIS! , best combo with the boeing yoke! thanks for the review

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Most welcome, glad it was useful

[@lowlowseesee]

That’s the exact combo I want lol

[@treloarw]

Great video! Just ordered the yoke and throttle and I’m curious about something. What is the solution for rudder use? if I don’t have pedals and of course will not have a joystick to twist anymore.

[@itsowen2113]

Logitech rudder pedals for now

[@showmefish]

Probably too late. Skip the Logitechs....get MFG Crosswind. Nothing like them.

[@polar_baer]

I have a question; Say you set up a situation in-game where one of the landing gears fails to come out, do the gear LED indicators show one of them as being red?

[@Jonno28]

I just ordered the alpha yoke but when save up enough I may have to cop this!

[@TheBlueSoc]

Bought one myself, and it's great! Your review is great:)

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it, stay safe in the skies

[@whtfsh765]

1) Is there a programable button to disconnect the autothottles?, 2) Is there a TOGA button? and, 3) Does the flap switch incrementally lower the flaps? Thanks.

[@pmadsea077]

Couldn't agree more. I'm very happy with mine.

[@rayericphillips]

Tried to set the throttle up in x plane 11 on a Mac not straight forward and not working as yet. I set up the yoke but x plane now doesn't recognise the yoke Was amazed to hear you say it was automatically set up both the yoke and throttle in MSFS. I contacted the European arm of Honeycomb (Im in the UK) but they have not replied.....

[@_alienblood]

Great review do you know if any tweeking needed for PMDG?

[@77flyer]

What u use the logitech panels for since the same functions are on the honeycomb? Just curious since I also have those

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

I only use the radio panels now as everything else I can do from the throttle - just trying to illustrate what you can do

[@77flyer]

@@VirtualRealityPilot oh ok, thanks for answering!

[@DominicanRat83]

Thank you for the video man I’m glad I found you! I’ve always been in love with this throttle quadrant, now that I saw your video I think I’ll be buying the Boeing 787 yoke from thrustmaster and I’ll take the honeycomb throttle.

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Glad to have you aboard bud, enjoy the yoke and throttle - I rather suspect you will

[@StudioDaVeed]

SOLD! After a 5-6 year absence I'm getting back into MSFS. I have tons of peripherals; lots of GoFlight Modules but I guess they are out of business. My Ch Products Quad is broken I know and this unit seems like a great all in one restart. And a trim wheel? SOLD!

[@Kraytex1]

Ordered both the alpha yoke, and bravo throttle quadrant. Unfortunately my throttle quadrants 7th custom button doesn't work. No response from Honeycomb aeronautical, but luckily im able to return it to where I got it from.

[@fidrox2250]

Love your reviews.

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Glad you like them!

[@TheCrash1983]

good price for what you get, but i fly stick so would want the trim wheel on the right hand side. very good though glad to see them up for pre order as the prices for them on amazon was getting silly.

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Totally, everything seems crazy inflated for price at the moment, hopefully supply issues are starting to sort themselves out

[@2WheeledMohawk]

Would this throttle quadrant work with the thrustmaster TCA Boeing edition? Curious as I love the quadrant, but not the Alpha, and love the TCA Boeing yoke, but not the quadrant to match their yoke.. TIA

[@OzzySafa]

B roll shots are super! What slider are you using it’s doing a great job at tracking

[@frankwang81]

great review Thank you!

[@AlexDD]

Well done, Dude!

[@ophirvinner6737]

Does the honeycomb bravo throttle quadrant works with thrustmaster boeing yoke edition because I dont know if the thrustmaster throttle worth the price like the honeycomb bravo?

[@pfv3462]

I bought this, and with the twin-engine aircraft I can only turn in circles at the start! No good explanation anywhere on how to create a profile for a beechcraft or other twin-engine aircraft in X plane. Hopefully you can help me further?

[@Lone_GamerUK]

Fantastic, great review and wonderful production. Now I just need to win the lotto, for a new top end PC, Yoke, Controls, Monitors and what not. Wish I was 20 again and not 53! Happy flying and I check out all your content when I can.

[@FryChicken]

Do the gear illuminations work if one gear gets stuck? Does it stay red?

[@PeterNGloor]

I still can't get the trim wheel to work. This feature was one that I had most hopes for when buying the throttle.

[@French28Pilot]

wait. so if i buy dis, will i get like All the throttle levers like the ga aircrafts one, the 737 one, de flaps, the speedbrakes?? all?

Hi Just wondering what the dimensions are, it looks very deep, I wonder whats in the back of it

[@Ajvella31]

How do you find its user experience while in VR? Im afraid id have to lift up my vr set to look at some of the buttons and what not

[@alexflies566]

Do you install any drivers for the throttle quadrant if you don’t have the alpha yoke?

[@TheSd1cko]

Just managed to get the bravo and the alpha for £232 each on Amazon! Arrives tomorrow. Can't wait. Bargain.

[@TheSd1cko]

I've had them a while now and it has transformed my flying completely! Even though I already had a virpil base with A10 and f18 stick along with warthog throttle. It's just so good for GA /! commercial type flying. Highly recommended!!!

[@TheGarlicMan]

Unlucky! The Boeing Yoke is ten times better! Im

[@TheSd1cko]

@@TheGarlicMan come back in a year and let me know if it still works 🤣 I'm saying from experience that Thrustmaster stuff does not last. Plus the honeycomb has way more axis and switches too. Having said that, I hardly use it now. Much prefer military flying in DCS.

[@astroaustralian7039]

I ordered off Aerosoft, Should be arriving either sometime today or tomorrow, exited to replace my current Saitek/Logitech throttle, Glad you made a review of it!

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

It’s a huge upgrade over the Logitech throttle, have fun and let me know how you got on with it.

[@astroaustralian7039]

@@VirtualRealityPilot So far, simply amazing, as you said it is truly worthy of 5 stars.

Hi thank you for video review. But one question, How can i put the radio panel on the throttle?

[@PeterNGloor]

The trim wheel is not working on my set. Is it on yours?

[@miglmicheal834]

Is it compatible with the thrustmaster boeing yoke and TFRP pedals on xbox?

[@MustangCoastie]

I don't think so.

[@PeterNGloor]

great video, nicely narrated. I have one question after viewing: Will the throttle work for a single or twin turboprop with Beta range and Reverse prop?

[@MT-Chris]

Does the levers come included?

[@get_outdoors]

Hi, do you use the function buttons in VR? I’m considering this and new to VR myself, thanks in advance

[@TheAlexn2]

and hmm yeah extension that gives you trim while you already have it?? and so on for flaps... so it's a good but too expensive for what it is

[@newoperson2577]

can you use it without the yoke?

[@jtepsr]

How deep is each unit, not sure I have enough desk space

[@RTSchramm]

Does the throttle use hall sensors or variable resistors?

[@bobykim5311]

I guess there are potentiometers inside?

[@406fish1]

Do you have to buy the throttle knobs separately?

[@jason2171t]

Can anyone answer this question how do I get the gear lights to illuminate?

What VR Headset did you use in our Film?

[@wookieefer4468]

Please can somebody help me with what the total package weight is for this quadrant. Thankyou..

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I've been looking at this for a different use, but I can't find any information on it outside of flight sims (I want to use it in a space sim). Is it recognized by windows as a standard game controller? Do all the axes and buttons work like any other peripheral, and can be used in whatever way or game you like? I get that the autopilot and warning lights are MSFS specific, that's not a big deal.

[@shezee611]

Amazing reviews, Can you please suggest which VR is good with MFS2020.

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Personally I think the valve index is nice but its pricey. The Quest 2 is also a good choice and better value.

[@WingITFlightSim]

Does it work with X-plane? And if so, does it work "out of the box"?

[@CharlotteJackson-fr9bc]

is it plug and play with xplane 12 and dose it work with linux ?

[@imaner76]

A nice review. Well done.

[@TChalla007]

works with X box series X ? Their website says nothing but other reviews says it works.

but don't understand , you have a switch to select the thing to modify , why do you have the same as buttons then where are those for???

What?

[@Zac_Coombes]

could i connect this to the xbox compatible hotas 1 using the honeycomb hub?

[@patrickrobinson317]

Great review. 😀 It was VERY helpful. Is it compatible with most Cockpit Panels ? Please recommend a Dual Yoke Panel that it will fit into nicely ? Thanks. 😀 Patrick from Bethesda, Maryland, USA

[@tonyd3796]

have you noticed the trim wheel has issues responding? Seems I can not get the settings right to be realistic. Any videos or recommendations?

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

yes but it has been better recently - I tried using some software to set it up as an axis but i created more problems than I solved, particularly when coming off autopilot - so no, sorry I don't

[@CHAD10ize]

Can I use the bravo by itself?

[@TatietMati]

Will the throttle be compatible with Boeing yoke on Xbox SX?

[@colmaniac]

Had this for a week also the yoke that made by same company, excellent unit esp for multi engine modern aircraft, I tend to play more ww2 and ww1 flight sims, like Il2 battle of stalingrad that also now uses VR, the combo flight system now makes this easier using VR over a conventional keyboard as you dont have to fumble about finding the keys when you can just flip a switch. Only issues is there are not enough controls for old fashioned advanced engines for that time period, for a single engine fighter yes you have enough controls, but for a twin engine its doesnt do it. you can easily setup throttle, fuel mixture, and a spare but you have oil and water radiators, cowl flaps, etc, etc, you can assign buttions for those effects also the radio dials help, but apart from that its a great piece of kit.

[@pepeiglesias9603]

Hello. Could you tell me how was your experience with the trim wheel in the honeycomb throttle? I would really appreciate if you could give me your opinion

[@mikecoffee100]

I plan to get this along with an Logitec Extreme Pro Joystick for now and later some rudder peddles.

[@franciscomanrique1822]

You could let the sistem attached to the desk and have a vesa monitor arm so the only thing you move is the monitor instead of moving the honeycomb sistem. Great review my friend.

Yes they do

[@james_keith_bda7294]

@@VirtualRealityPilot thanks!

[@walterg74]

It's all relative.. I mean to have same/similar functionality with the Saitek/Logitech stuff, you would need the yoke system, second throttle quadrant, trim wheel, switch panel, and multi panel. Add it all up and you're not THAT far away from the Honeycomb combo...

[@ILikeThunder]

Hi Any idea if this will work if combined with Boeing yoke on Xbox?

Unfortunately not as you need the v2 alpha yoke and Xbox hub to get the throttle connected to the Xbox

[@juplia]

@@VirtualRealityPilot thank you - any recommendations what should I combine with the yoke? I saw your review of the quadrant and it wasn’t encouraging. I have the Boeing yoke only now.

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

On Xbox your choices are limited and you have to combine the yoke with the throttle quadrant - so for ease I would go with the Boeing throttle

Hello there people! Does anyone have experience with the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle? I fly everything from a Cessna to an A-10 Thunderbolt. Because of that, I'm curious how sturdy this throttle is. I'm afraid I might damage it, because I do sometimes give fast/harsh inputs! What's your experience regarding this? Thanks!

I’m new to flight simulators I ben doing research and looking at allot of videos I was goin to start with the logictech set up but now I’m goin all in for my first set up I’m goin honeycomb yoke and throttle. Good video good reviews I subscribe to your channel.

[@KiraSlith]

These suffer the same quandry as gaming PC building. The quadrant and Yoke's relatively mild price difference (when kitted out like for like based on features) compared to the massive leap in quality over Logitech's offerings kinda makes the Logitech set moot as a starter. Even if it's your first dip into flight sims you're going to want to make the leap just because you're going to have a far better time for your money and as a bonus, they've got a good chance of surviving long enough to be passed on or sold.

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

There is a lot of mis information in these comments and review. It works out of the box is far from the truth. It uses pots for the axis rather than Hall effect sensors and there have been problems with the internal wiring breaking due to a poor design. Don’t take my word for it or a single reviewers, do your own research people it’s not all positive.

[@ericksantz]

Which pedals do you recommend?

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Money no object - the TPR pendular pedals by thrust master - they really are a thing of beauty but come at a price. For a bit less then I would look at virpil’s line up. I personally think rudder pedals are very overlooked and a really important accessory, avoid cheap ones from Logitech and thrust master.

As a combat flight simmer, I can't help but chuckle at the idea that 280 is expensive haha. On the combat flight sim side you can fully expect to pay 500-600 bucks for an F-18 throttle or helicopter collective
