The Bravo is compatible with all the major flight simulators including Prepar3D, X-Plane and FSX. Not only is USB C the fastest USB standard currently available, the connector is unidirectional and can be plugged in both ways, and in my experience USB C is more robust than Micro or Mini USB connectors.

The Bravo is ‘Plug and Play’ and connects to the PC via a single USB C cable so there is no power supply necessary.
#HONEYCOMB THROTTLE QUADRANT HOW TO#
Inside, there is the Bravo Throttle Quadrant itself, the removable base with the suction cup, two boxes for the General Aviation and Commercial handles, a USB C cable and a short manual with brief instructions on how to set everything up. The Bravo comes in attractive packaging, which is easily on a par with Apple products. If the metal clamps are used in conjunction with the suction cup, it makes the Bravo sit rock-solid to the desk, which is great for mounting it permanently in one place.Ī robust dual-mounting solution will keep the Bravo in its place with 40lb of tensile strength. I found that as long as I attached it to a clean and smooth surface, the unit stayed firmly in place. 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. Word of caution: any dust particles may compromise the seal and can cause the suction cup to break free, so you need to be sure the surface is clean. The suction cup fixes the throttle quadrant to a desktop with a tensile strength of 40lb to hold it securely in place. The second is a sizeable micro-suction cup, which is attached to a removable mounting plate on the base of the throttle quadrant. Firstly, there are two metal clamps that can be used to secure the throttle quadrant to a desktop. The Bravo is equipped with a dual-mounting kit, which has been adapted from the Alpha Flight Controls. The trim wheel and undercarriage lever can also be seen in this shot. Finally, an annunciator panel with 14 warning lights displays the status of critical systems such as master warning/caution, engine fire, vacuum, fuel, hydraulics, oil pressure and so on.Īdditional features include a general aviation autopilot, annunciator lights and a switch panel. 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.
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. The Bravo is also equipped with a general aviation type autopilot with backlit buttons, which can be used for selecting various modes such as heading, altitude, vertical speed and approach, etc. Additional features include an undercarriage handle with green/red lights to indicate the status of the landing gear and a GA-style elevator trim wheel. There is also a two-way GA-type flap switch so it is possible to use either the flap lever for flying airliners, or for general aviation we can use the two-way flap switch. A friction knob sets the ‘stiffness’ of the axis, which works smoothly and seamlessly. Additional Features on the BravoĪpart from the actual throttle levers, the Bravo comes with plenty of additional features.
The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant was designed to ensure the most versatile flight simulation experience possible.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. The throttle also comes with our dual mounting system which includes two heavy-duty steel clamps and a large 3M Micro-Suction pad that can be used as a clamp-free solution. The throttle also features multiple cockpit components including an autopilot panel with backlit buttons, annunciator panel with 14 warning lights, Gear Lever with landing gear indicator lights, general aviation flap lever, and a trim wheel. The commercial levers include flaps, spoilers, and functional thrust reversers while the general aviation levers include power, prop, and mixture and can engage thrust revers for turboprops as well. Six general aviation and six commercial levers are included and can be arranged from single-engine general aviation all the way up to four-engine commercial aircraft. The Bravo Throttle Quadrant is an all-in-one cockpit system featuring a fully configurable throttle setup.
