Perhaps this will be modified by kavster as soon as he has time. But the good news is that the Auto Pilot left-hand and right hand selectors on the Bravo are copying information to the ToLiss Auto Flight FCU (Flight Control Unit). That said, when I enter a speed, altitude or heading, it can be seen on the FCU. You and I need to keep in mind that for example the Zibo 738 and other add-on aircraft aircraft have complex Auto Flight systems. With these Auto Flight systems and the belonging MCP or FCU, it’s not always possible to cover every caution light on the Bravo or the Bravo Auto Pilot section. Summary The following config setup uses switch combinations for the controls - so please be careful while assigning. It is a pain to set it up initially (mapping mistakes take time to fix and remap), but was well worth it for me as the end result is super useful. Anyway, enough talk, let’s start tweaking!
Yes, of course, the Auto Pilot section on the Bravo Throttle Quadrant is different then the MCP in the modeled 738, but it’s right now more important that you can enter via the Bravo your IAS, HDG and ALT. That said, with the loaded Zibo.json file you can set the left-hand knob to ALT, HDG or IAS and with the right-hand rotary knob you increase or decrease the value which is visible on the MCP in the sim. During climb and initial cruise level, I was able to control the aircraft Auto Pilot with the help of the Bravo dedicated Zibo.json plugin and I can tell you, that it works to my satisfaction. On Last Note ….. Airbus Models There’s a small remark and that is when you fly as particular aircraft type, it’s not easy to see all the annunciator lights, positioned behind the PROP and MIXTURE levers or to operate all these free available switches. Actually, the space between the levers when in a fully FWD direction is a bit tight. I feel that it’s time to finish this review. I went already much further than initially planned, but I would like to add the following regarding those who want to fly Airbus aircraft.
In The Box
Added a Configurator-sim-profile-activation-link, so the additional "Reload Bindings" from the sim menu is not necessary anymore Profiles are loaded on a 10 second delay after aircraft change to allow for correct initialization of all local variables The autopilot panel includes the usual functions as can be found in commercial and GA aircraft. The annunciator panel with 14 signal lights shows the most important status and warning messages of the board systems. The left Knob on the Autopilot panel will select ‘functions’ in the set ‘mode’. E.g., in Autopilot mode, it selects ALT bug, HDG bug, etc. while in some radio mode, it selects the whole and fractional parts of the frequency. Because there is actually no SELECT for these things, note the triple button combo for some of these.)
I created the separate profiles needed for the different throttle configurations i. e. GA Simple Single Engine, GA Complex Single Engine, GA Complex Twin Engine, Commercial 2 Engine, Commercial 3 Engine, Commercial 4 Engine, TBN930, etc. Although the AP functions like HDG and ALT work, there are no obvious bindings shown in the Options>Controls Option menus. A robust dual-mounting solution will keep the Bravo in its place with 40lb of tensile strength. Installation What can I add to this Summary with such an in-depth review of the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant? Honestly, I don’t know. I sincerely hope you enjoyed this review. I can tell you that it was an honer that X-Plained.Com was able to review this piece of Honeycomb flight simulation hardware. It tried to cover every part, section or whatever was needed to write an unbiased in-depth impression. Clearly noted in the English (and for sure in the German and French too) manual is that when you follow the cleaning instructions of the 3M Micro-Suction, you can be use on and on. In other words, there’s no need to keep, once you’ve placed the mounting plate with the 3M Micro-Suction to the table, it mounted on the table. When you don’t need the mounting plate for a while, then follow the instructions in the manual, reapply the plastic covering to preserve quality and condition of the 3M Micro-Suction.
There are custom driver interfaces that lets you customize the events, such as the ones provided by AAO, Spad.next etc. I have AAO, and that driver seems really buggy and inconsistent in sending my custom commands. So, I just use the default one provided by logitech. Just to give you an idea about the mapping - e.g. Incrementing Altimeter is a combination of the following buttons: Similar to the Alpha Flight Controls, you can mount your Logitech G Saitek Flight Panels, such as a Radio Panel or the Shakeprint Simulations Class Echo, easily on top of the Bravo TQ. Or you can choose to mount your throttle underneath your desk, to create more space for your keyboard and mouse, with the Honeycomb Desk Mount. All this hardware is sold separately. Compatible with PC and Mac The following are only recommendations from Honeycomb Staff for the 7 Toggle switches as a guide, you can assign the toggle switches as you wish, in this example we will use the last 2 switches; The reverse thrust function is outstanding. Essentially, each axis has independent dual-function reverse thrust, so there is an option for going below idle into the reverse thrust/ beta range like on turboprops. Alternatively, with the Commercial handles the levers are lifted to engage reverse thrust similarly to what you would do on a Boeing jet.
CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Configuration/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Configuration.dll Most of the Autopilot features seem to work, but it is hard to use because none of the buttons illuminate. As noted by others, the values entered using the rotary knob may increase/decrease by small or large amounts randomly. Additional features are provided by the gear switch, the trim wheel, and 7 freely programmable switches so the user does not need to reach out to the keyboard as often. With so many buttons and switches available, and in many cases the same button to provide a different function through the use of another button as a modifier, it seems the choices are nearly limitless. On top of the Honeycomb Bravo, you can find an autopilot panel, with illuminated buttons. Directly below those, you can find seven additional programmable switches and an annunciator panel, with 14 warning lights.At a glance: The combination of excellent build quality, flexibility and precision, provides an authentic flying experience at an unbeatable price.
Next, what when I use another add-on twin engine GA aircraft like the Nimbus Islander or perhaps the Just Flight/Thranda Duchess 76 or the Thranda Beaver? Keep in mind that when it comes to the AP assignments that this could make a difference if the AP is dedicated modeled by the developer. That said, I did first a flight short test with the Nimbus Islander. It seems that all assigned AP functions work with this aircraft, but when I tried to do the same during another flight with the Just Flight/Thranda Duchess 76, the basic functions like FLAPS UP/DOWN lever and GEAR UP/DOWN handle worked, but the AP didn’t respond do what I expected. This is probably due to different assigned X-Plane AP commands versus the default AP commands. I just saw this thread for the first time and think it is very interesting to see how others in the community are using their Alpha and Bravo hardware to take advantage of the various commands within the sim. When you connect the Bravo Throttle Quadrant while X-Plane is already up and running, a popup window appears that tells you that new hardware is detected. Not just new hardware, no, it tells you that the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is connected and needs to be calibrated as is needed with all connected hardware. Once you’ve calibrated the six levers by moving them over their full travel, the calibration process finishes. Ok, that’s great news, but what is even better is the smooth way you can use the controls on the Bravo and see the 737NG responding. And yes, the throttle levers move so fluently from idle to TO. Keep in mind, when you set the FLAPS to 5, 10, 15 or any other position, the slots you have in the simulated X-Plane 737NG, you don’t have these on the Bravo FLAP scale. The same is also applicable for the SPEEDBRAKE handle. And what I miss with both handles is a marking on it. A mark that identifies the current position. It is possible to replicate the throttle layout of complex single-engine piston-powered aircraft such as the Cessna 182 Skylane or the Piper PA-28 Arrow.CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Xml/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Xml.dll
