Isn´t Honeycomb Quadrant Throttle plug and play? Need help?

I read it will work automatically under MSFS2020. Before starting i updated via Aerosoft HP and it was detected and had new drivers. In MSFS i can see it in control options but only Joystix L Axis Y and Z seems to work when checking sensitivity. R and L Axis dont react. And when i test on rwy with 737 turbine two is at 82% and one at 0% and both cant be controlled. All other buttons dont work too. What went wrong? Isnt it plug and play as Thrustmaster for example?

The manual said exactly “compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator […] no download required.”

@MOD Could you please remove my thread to Tech Talk?

The Honeycomb drivers for MSFS and others are found on this page.

About halfway down the page you will find:

Download Honeycomb Yoke & Throttle Software

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10 (64bit), macOS (Catalina+)

Compatible with: Flight Simulator X, Prepar3D 3/4/5, X-Plane 11, Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator

[DOWNLOAD NOW]

When i move Speedbrake i control engine one. Is this probably just broken?

According to manual its not needed. And i have the latest driver from Aerosoft. Do i have to shut down MSFS before downloading?

While the Honeycomb Products (Alpha and Bravo) are compatible and supported, they still can require configuration based on the aircraft you are flying.

More complex (mainly third party) aircraft, require custom mappings, calibrations, etc… As well, depending on the aircraft, not all buttons / mappings will work as those values can be hidden.

Could you please provide the aircraft you are testing with?

There is a “driver” so to speak, but all it is used for is the lights on the unit.

I tested PMDG 737 and LVFR Airbus. It worked with none of them.

You need to do a little more. This video will show you how to set up the Bravo for different configurations:

The PMDG 737 requires calibrations and custom settings.

Googling “Honeycomb Bravo 737” will yield a how to video

WOW i already start missing my old Thrustmaster Throttle Control.

It would be no different with that one either.

They are supported, work “out of the box” (more or less) for default aircraft, but now you are working with third party complex aircraft that have their own systems and control requirements.

This is not unique to the Bravo or the 737 It’s the same across the board.

When downloading i realized i already download it and installed it.

My old Thrusmaster Throttle Control (unfortunately only one control) worked plug and play right from the start.

This vid seems to be a little bit outdated. The Power Management looks quite different from now 3 years later. Is there an actual tutorial?

Just look a the pics

My settings


Settings in Vid

That vid is still pretty much the gold standard in setting up the Bravo for all 4 engine types, and then from there, you build off them.

There have been improvements with turbo props, reversers, etc… but RMAG’s guides are still very relevant.

I will say, if you’re going to complete hi setup of the 4 engine types, watch his on setting the switches first, and then build off that profile otherwise you have to re-set the switches everytime.

If you look at Vid what mens Throttle One Cut? I dont have this option in my control settings.

Are you looking at “All” controls, or only “Assigned” controls?

You need to make sure your filter is set to ALL not just assigned in the controls option.

I literally just re-used this tutorial video a week or so ago to setup a new rig, it is very much still relevant.

With Filter All it looks even more different


With them all showing, just follow the guide now. Throttle 1 CUT is now displayed.

Just follow his instructions exactly like he says and it will work. As has been said, there are aircraft for which you will want to adjust to suit yourself, but set them up as instructed and you will be able to decide later which you want to change. By setting them up as in the video, you will understand the operation of the Bravo better and able to make good decisions later.
