Has anyone else had problems setting up the Bravo with the TBM. I can’t get anything to work?
If you have the Honeycomb Bravo - the below video is helpful. If not, you might be able to replicate on your controls.
Is anybody else experiencing problems with the trim wheel on the Bravo while in the TBM? I’ve got it binded to elevator trim but it does nothing and I can’t figure out why. Any suggestions? Thanks
Make sure your AP/Trim switch (right side of the overhead panel) is in the upright position.
I finally figured out how to make the throttle & prop controls work with just one lever. And I also think I found a bug in the key bindings which is what is making configuring this plane so puzzling.
For reference I’m using the Bravo throttles through the Honeycomb XPC yoke on an Xbox, so the button Numbers may vary but I will translate them.
You will need the throttle with the red TOGA button.
- Toggle Throttle Reverse Thrust = 73/TOGA Button
- Throttle Axis = normal throttle lever
- Throttle 40% = 63/Throttle Detent
4a. Decrease Throttle = 63/Throttle Detent
4b. Decrease Throttle = 56 ??
5 . Propeller Pitch HI - 73/TOGA Button
Now when it comes to 4b. I think this must be a glitch or I’m not understanding the logic.
A second Throttle Detent needs to be mapped to a button or detent. BUT the button or detent has to remain OFF the whole time. I have mine mapped to the last switch above the signal indicator lights, and I keep it in the off position. This makes no sense. Why Assign it to a switch that will remain off? That’s why I think it’s a glitch. But it is the only setting I could find that will allow the throttle to move to the Cut Off Position.
How it works
Since the real throttle can move up and down and left and right a combination of lever movements and TOGA button presses needs to be made.
Move the throttle to the Taxi Idle Position and then up and down to increase or decrease throttle (as you normally would)
To move to the Hi Idle, place the throttle in the Taxi Idle position, and press the TOGA button.
To return to Taxi Idle lift of the throttle slightly and move down then press the TOGA button again, the throttle will move back to Hi Idle but will automatically move back to Taxi Idle for Increasing and decreasing thrust then the throttle is moved again.
*If you do not press the TOGA button after moving it back to Taxi idle, the Throttle will enter into Reverse thrust when moved.
To enter Lo Idle follow the steps above to get to Hi Idle first, then press the TOGA button, the throttle will move to Lo Idle. To return to Taxi Idle lift of the throttle slightly up and down then press the TOGA button again, the throttle will move back to Hi Idle but will automatically move back to Taxi Idle for Increasing and decreasing thrust then the throttle is moved again.
*If you do not press the TOGA button after moving it back to Taxi idle, the Throttle will enter into Reverse when moved.
For Reverse thrust, as mentioned above. Have the throttle in the Taxi Idle Position and press the Toga button. Then push the throttle forward to enter to reverse thrust. To exit reverse thrust bring the throttle back to the Taxi idle position and press the TOGA button. The throttle will move back to Hi Idle but will automatically move back to Taxi Idle for Increasing and decreasing thrust then the throttle is moved again.
To move to Cut Off. Follow the steps to get to Lo Idle above and then move the throttle into the detent.
