About this deal

Honeycomb mentions, in the product specifications, that these sensors come with 400% increased resolution. I was reluctant to post it because I don’t know if the Warthog works differently, but what annoys me the most is that the Bravo has no reverse axis. Depending on your preference and the environment you fly in, you can either use the big suction pad or the mounts, both included in the package, to hold the equipment in place. The one issue with it is that it works out of the box, in part, but there is a lot of setting up that is required to program the buttons and lights so they do what you want them to do.

The throttle quadrant allows for configurations from small single-engine planes to four-engine airliners. The mounting plate can, however, be separated from the base and cleaned with soapy water to regenerate the tensile strength or stickiness to its original form. After purchasing and trying over the years many controllers for the throttle/flaps such as the Saitek etc. This kit includes two throttle handle knobs, two reverser handle knobs, an axially spring-loaded flaps lever with an internal spring, two throttle detent panels, and installation screws. Hence when you want to start the engines, you need to hold the switch there, just as in real aircraft, otherwise, it comes back and the engines don’t start.

Below the autopilot, there are seven programmable two-way switches which can be assigned to operating the aircraft’s systems such as pitot heat, external lights, fuel pump or cowl flaps to name a few.

The Bravo is made to be highly configurable and can be set up to replicate the controls found in any number of aircraft types, including four-engine airliners. For me, the star of the show are the interchangeable throttle/thrust levers, which can be set up in seconds, and hiding any unused levers under rubber covers is ingenious for those of us who don’t like ‘loose ends’.We have been made aware of a video by the YouTuber SimHanger, which details the full config process. Our Flight Setup Configurator is filled with hardware options from High Quality brands, such as Honeycomb. A five-way selector switch is used for jumping between different modes while a rotary knob dials in the settings such as desired heading or altitude. I’ve been learning SPAD, which has scripting, and wondered whether I could use that ‘button’ to trigger the throttle axis to invert.
