Hi all,
I’m looking to purchase a flight yoke and I’m looking at getting a used Honeycomb Alpha. Am I right to assume the Alpha will work ok on Xbox series X ?
I already have and use a set of thrustmaster rudder pedals so I hope these will still work with the alpha?
Also is there a GA type throttle/prop/mixture control that will work with the Alpha on the Xbox ?
Thanks
Mike
Hi Mike,
the Alfa XPC (not the older HC Alfa) will work on XBox. It works on mine (look here).
The rudder pedals probably won’t though. The only pedals compatible with HC AlfaXPC are the Logitek/Saitek G Pro flight pedals (a bit outdated) and of course the HC Charlies, if you can get them. And you need the additional USB hub made by HC, can’t plug them directly into the XBox.
As for the throttle control — the best match would be the HC Bravo quadrant. Otherwise the air becomes very thin on XBox. A few Joysticks with such control should work but I’m not familiar with those. If you want a yoke the only other option would be the Turtle Beach Velocity one Flight Yoke. It has a rudder control via the left and right triggers which according to simmers who use it works quite well.
And Turtle Beach also make rudder pedals which of course work seamlessly together with the yoke.
