Honeycomb XPC: Bravo Throttle Mapping for the TBM930

I’m on Xbox and just took delivery of the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls XPC and Bravo throttle quadrant. In the XPC version setup, the Bravo connects to a Honeycomb Hub which in turn plugs into the Alpha XPC.

In MSFS Controls Options, the Alpha + Bravo (and in future, the Charlie) appear as one unit (whether or not you have the Bravo or Charlie).
The axes and buttons are numbered differently from the earlier iterations of the Alpha and Bravo.

I’ve just started trying to map my new Bravo for the TBM 930 and am having some difficulty.

I’ve looked up postings on this forum and YouTube videos, but notice 2 things:

  1. The pre-existing material pre-date the current XPC version and its setup configuration and also axes/button numberings.
  2. These various materials propose different solutions, which seem no longer to work (perhaps due to subsequent SIM updates that have broken these mappings).

Can anyone who is successfully flying the TBM using the Bravo kindly share your mappings, particularly for the power management configuration? Many thanks!

I am having the same issue configuring the Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant for TBM930. All the YouTube video solutions are apparently no longer valid. Have seen the O’Reilly Spad.next videos? If you have not used Spad.next, you could checkout the O’Reilly solution for free, and see if it solves the throttle issues. If it works, after 14 days, you have to purchase a license.

I’ve since found a solution from a YouTube video by 2020 Fs’ers. Here’s the link : MSFS Bravo Quadrant SETUP TBM930 AFTER Sim 5 ! Can't start the TBM930 and Throttle doesn't move! - YouTube

I am on Xbox, so Spad.next would not work for me.

I have been flying the TDM 930 for about a month now. Can’t say enough good things about. I have both the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo controls which brings me to this discussion. I have listened and watch every Youtube video on the topic of setting up and configuring the Bravo Quadrant with Spad.next and Vjoy but I need one definitive guide or video that will walk me through the steps from start to finish. Any suggestions of what to watch would be appreciated.

This still isn’t perfect for me - you got it working perfect?
