Track your Honeycomb Throttle on its Flight from Hong Kong to USA!

Not a problem at all as the overall topic is about getting ready for the TQ’s arrival.

I actually had to made some modifications to my setup to accommodate the incoming TQ, although I should clarify that I never owned a TQ so I never had to make space for one until now. I attached a picture of my setup below (sorry for the mess… work from home life lol).

You can see the PC to the left behand the monitor (no that is not MSFS, that is a Youtube video of MSFS that I put up as a placeholder for this picture lol, that is why it doesn’t occupy the whole screen), TrackIR above the monitor, the pedals below the desk, the yoke front and center, and the keyboard and mouse to the right (I currently use the keyboard to control throttle input).

The minor modification I had to make is highlighted by the red circles. This is actually a motorized stand-up desk. The control pad that I use to set the height of the desk and which is seen in the circle to the left used to be in the area indicated by the circle on the right. I intend to fit the TQ into the space between the yoke and the white drawer to the right, and I had to move the control pad in order to place the TQ’s clamps.

Once I have the TQ, I anticipate that I will move the keyboard to the left side of the desk as I will have little to no use for it in flight. As for the mouse, I have no clue where I will place it; for now, I will put it wherever it seems most comfortable. However, Honeycomb has stated that it is coming out with an adapter to hold a mouse and tablet underneath the TQ (see second picture), and I’ll probably get that.
