Does anyone know if hardware exists that shows current flap setting, I have the Honeycomb Bravo which good but the one things that frustrates me a little is not knowing what position the flaps are currently in when flying.
It would be good to have some kind of display which shows this. Is there anything on the market which has this? The only thing I have found is the Virtual Fly Switcho Radios which has an annuciator display showing current flap settings, amongst other things.
Which aircraft?
I would think your cockpit has a flap indicator, no?
There are also third party sellers (on Etsy, etc…) that sell 3D printed flap gates / detents for the Bravo’s for various aircraft as well.
All aircraft in general. Yes the cockpit for the aircraft usually indicates the position but you still need to use your mouse to check. I’m looking for something which you can just look on your desk without having to use the mouse.
I’ll check out Etsy, I’m sure someone has 3D printed this. Thanks.
The Thrustmaster TCA add on does this, though you’d need the throttles as well.
Hi, I’m also using a Honeycomb Bravo and have modified it a little bit to achieve what you are asking for. Here is how:

Neat!
Is there a captive spring-loaded pin in there?
Yes there is, it’s this one. Screwed into two glued on white plastic nuts, these.
Of course it limits the usability of the Bravo a bit, but I fly the A2AComanche exclusively anyway.

Nicely done.
I can see where it might interfere with smooth mixture or prop settings in a piston twin. Really though, it wouldn’t prevent full use of the axis range. It would just be a bit rough. But having the flap axis detents more than makes up for it. I have a button on my Streamdeck that shows me the flaps position, but not everyone has one of these, or uses SPAD to program it, so your modification is very cool.
Hi, if the detents interfere with anything you can just simply screw the bolt with the spring loaded ball up a few turns and everything is smooth 
But the flap lever has to stay there because I had to glue it into place. The snap on of the Bravo lever did not hold it. The force of the internal spring would move it up with every move so I had no choice.
This doesn’t bother me though because as I said above I only fly the Comanche. I may have to add another one on the right side of the flap lever if I choose to fly the V-tail Bonanza again.

If you use the Honeycomb Bravo, have you checked out this ?
I am using it and am very happy with it.
