Fixed bug with wrong indexing for "sim/flightmodel2/gear/deploy_ratio" in default Bravo throttle profile (gear LEDs) Important: Before you uninstall the old version, please be sure to export your profiles to a save place! On the left handle you will find two buttons, two 2-way hat switches, and a push to talk button, while the right handle features two 2-way and an 8-way switch as well as a button. Added "Master" LED functionality, so all LEDs can e.g. stay off when there is no electricity available The Charlie rudder pedals aren’t the only exciting new piece of Honeycomb flight sim hardware debuting this year.

The high-quality mechanics offer a realistic full 180° turn radius with a self-centring mechanism with no dead zone to control the aileron. Lenghtwise, the steel shaft allows for 15 cm of travel. The mechanism is all metal for durability. As we build our own flight simulator setups, there are lots of brands to choose from. So, which is the best?

It’s your turn

The thrust levers can be configured for small single- and multi-engine planes with separate flap switches. For use in an airliner you can choose a configuration with two or four thrust levers, levers for spoiler and flaps. This will then also allow you to control the thrust reverser. Well, we have good news. The Honeycomb Charlie rudder pedals release date may have been years in the making, but the wait is finally over!

Thanks in advance folks. I hope to have some clarity before I take that plunge and your views will truly matter. The standard Alpha flight control yoke has been around for a while, but it’s now being joined by the Alpha XPC. So, what’s the difference between the Alpha and the Alpha XPC? The Honeycomb team designed their products with extra buttons and hat-switches for plenty of programmable features and assignments. They also created a table mounting system that doesn’t need clamps. After 9 months, I’m finally taking the plunge and jumping from the humble default Xbox controller to a proper yoke + throttle combo, and I need your help please!This cookie is used to display personalized and relevant ads to the users and measure the efficiency of the ad campaign.

If you are planning a visit to any of the major airshows this year or next, odds are you will find Honeycomb somewhere in the vendors section. They let visitors try the Charlie pedal prototypes at EAA Airventure 2021 and what may have been a production model was showcased in the Honeycomb booth at AERO Friedrichshafen 2022. This makes an airshow your best bet for test flying Charlie. Other New Releases from Honeycomb Flight Sim Our tech support has also been impacted due to the shortage and our ability to replace broken units was at one point unacceptable. We have brought on more members to the team and have made massive improvements. For those of you who may still have any outstanding issues please reach out to us at [email protected]

For those of you who have the privilege of owning either, or better still, both, the TM and HC yokes/throttles, your views will very much be appreciated, but otherwise, all views are most welcome. Of course, the HC yoke currently in use is the first generation yoke, and the one I have in mind is the new XPC version releasing in Sept, so not quite totally identical, but I’m assuming the new version will be an improvement from the Gen 1 version. Finally (Whew – a ton of information in this one!), Honeycomb Aeronautical announced the Flight Sim Academy: an educational STEM program designed to get kids interested in education via flight simulation. This will be a completely free program for teachers and institutions, entirely funded by Honeycomb, and the company aims to open at least 30 locations in the next 5 years. Their ambitious plans call for reaching 400 STEM programs annually and starting over 100 new ones per year. Honeycomb plans to offer a “Next-Gen” aviation education facility with curriculum materials from aviation staples such as Newton, AOPA, and Gleim, using their simulator products. From this point forward we want to be as transparent as possible about what’s happening with our products. We will be posting when units leave port to our distributors and expected arrival dates - unfortunately, we can not say how many units will go to each store as this is the responsibility of the distributor but we hope to show that we are building and sending units out as fast as we can. We will also provide a monthly update on the status of products in development so that you have a timeline of when new products will be available. I’m sure there are still things we can do better, and we will try to adapt to the situation as it changes rapidly. In the meantime, thank you again for your loyalty and understanding.
