I even dont understand what he exactly do when he comes to “cut”. Btw is there a good german vid too?
Do i have to start right from start with turboprops or can i start with 2 Engine Jet and save the configuration for ever?
I feel your pain, but you are only experiencing what many of us did (or do) when we configure Honeycomb products for the aircraft we have chosen in MSFS.
Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo “compatibility” could be more accurately stated as “configurable”; meaning simply that they have adjustments and settings that will work with nearly every aircraft in MSFS.
I suggest that you shutdown the simulator and google “honeycomb throttle quadrant” or something similar and watch 3 - 4 videos and compare how each explains how to set them up–there may be differences between one user’s needs vs. another’s. Watch them again and see what you may find applicable to what you are trying to do–take some notes.
Then, start your simulator and start to set up you configurations. You may have to adjust-try-observe-readjust-try, etc. until you achieve your goals.
Good luck!

You need to start at the start, every profile builds off the last.
What the hell is Joystick Button 26? So i even have to configure turbo props to in order to use Honeycomb for 2 Engine Jet?
Thx for the understanding words but i am actually not sure if its better just to refund this hardware. I bought it since i read its plug and play resp. this is also what the manual say.
I’m assuming (based on your previous post asking about a German based video) that you are simply hitting a language barrier.
Button 26 is just the button assigned from one of the buttons on the controller. If you follow the video and go off the pictures, it should be pretty straight forward.
As for the 2 Engine Jet, you can just go find another video that focuses on that, or, since you are likely configuring for the PMDG use the video I posted way above when this thread started.
RMAG video was simply posted as a starting point as it gets you going with almost every configuration required and then you can customize / build off that.
If you just want to get your 737 in the air, watch the one from Simhangar I posted earlier.

I found this video extremely helpful–but ONLY after having watched several others and this one more than once…

oops… sorry for the duplicate post. my bad…
Ofc if i keep this hardware i want to use it for every aircraft. I have extreme difficulties to understand Rmag Vid. Now i am 100% confused what he is talking about preset configuration (Bravo Switches at 0:57).
TBH i am even now not sure what you meant with Button 26? Is it my Thrrustmaster Joystick? No it has just 16 Buttons.
Could this vid be helpful for german?
NP. I want to understand it fully so just configure the 737 is not enough.
So now i tested the default on DH Caribou and what should i say? It was fantastic. When i have enough time later i will configure it step by step. So long thx for all the help!

In the Video at 3:19 he showed for Throttle 1 a full white bar which i don’t have in my settings at Throttle 1. And when testing all levers i don’t see white bars too.
And i tested Complex Single with Cessna Skycaravan. It did not work out at all. It was completely opposite. Up down were mixed up. e.g. When i pushed black throttle lever forward Engine shows 0%, when i pulled it to me, it showed 100%.
It seems disabling Revers Axis helped. But why he showed it wrong in his video?
It’s been a while since I went through the Bravo and the video, but I believe he later (in the video) says that he had forgotten to reverse the axis. I may be wrong, but you have learned something in going through the settings and that is the reverse axis. I don’t understand the “full white bar” as I was able to set everything just like he did and it worked. Remember, when looking for new assignments, you must select “All” as someone has already said. Also, with the Bravo (and the Alpha for that matter), once you move a switch into the position to make it show in the setup, you have to move it out of that position before you are allowed to program it. The buttons don’t require that - only the switches. I know that probably doesn’t make sense as it is one of the oddities I have found in the Honeycomb equipment. If it helps, I (after 1 1/2 years of using Honeycomb) still run into problems while setting new assignments, but I’ll attribute that to my 80 year old brain! You, your youth and your German mental abilities (meant in a good way) should be able to figure it out. My ancestry is also German (Weimar), but the years have taken their toll.

Ah then at the end of the video there will be the solution according to reverse axis. Impatient i was 
I also realize that i need to use a button again once i searched it (to get what its connected with) if i want to go on. OK that was really difficult to explain. I will use a translator. Hope its better:
“I also had to learn myself that if you press a button to find the shortcut, you have to press it again at the end to basically end the search.”
It was difficult because the video was no help at that moment. But I get at least a basic idea about this Throttle Control.
My brain is younger right, but it is not young anymore. Anyway, I am deeply impressed that you are so familiar with computer and complicated software at your age. I hope you live to be at least 100 years old and help me with the MSFS 2044! If you have children, I am sure they are proud of you.

I followed the vid and now at 4 Engine Jet i ran into a problem. I can activate reverse thrust easily by “Joystick Button 12” but when I disable with this button the reverse thrust wont stop. I have to move throttle a little bit to to deactivate. How can disable reverse thrust using “Joystick Button 12” without moving thrust lever?
And the speed take wont be disabled too. Its still active.
UPDATE In the vid he says its the way it goes.
Yes. That’s the way it is. Don’t know whether to blame MS or Honeycomb.
I just found out that A319 (LFVR now Horizon) cause problem. Once you activated reverse thrust you cannot deactivate it. That frightens me. Hope someone has a solution. Now i will test on PMDG 737.
When i test sensitivity for “2 Engine Jet” it wont work for Throttle lever 1 and 2. Does anyone knows why?
One thing that came to mind, are you using the correct lever?
I am ASSUMING you are using the white jet engine levers that came with your Bravo correct? if so, I am also ASSUMING you are using the ones labeled “1 and 2” correct?
Not sure if you noticed, but there is a blue sticker on one of them (3 or 4 I forget) and if you rotate it the white part with the number there is also a 2.
This is the one that has to be used for 2 engine configuration because of the button setup, so make sure you are using the correct lever.
Yes, I know about lever 2/3 and i used them in 2 Engine Jet configuration. With PMDG 737 it works, but with A319 LVFR it does not work. With A320 Neo it works out, so I guess it’s a LFVR problem.
