You might already know this, but for anyone reading the comments Asobo added action types for button presses in the options. So if you want the thrust reversers to properly stow when you’re done using them, setup both the Throttle Decrease and the Throttle Cut command with the same reverser. Keep Throttle Decrease as the default “on press” action, but change Throttle Cut to “on release”. Now when you stow the reversers on the Bravo, they’ll actually stow properly in the aircraft and you don’t have to use the detent button on the Bravo.
Not sure i follow this exactly? Are we keeping throttle decrease as the actual lever itself still? And then using the detent for throttle cut but on release?
As of Flight Sim version 5 you do not need to check “reverse axis” on the levers. By default, the axis works as is now. Also when binding switches (including lever detents) now you need to flip the switch on for the input to be sensed, but then turn the switch off before validating it, or the validation will freeze. Additionally, when testing a switch the fields don’t turn white and dark anymore, but they will work. “Flaps Axis (-100 to 100)” is called “Flaps Axis” now.
I'm a long time simmer and I just picked up an Alpha and a Beta. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to produce your instruction videos for this equipment. You made my life, and enjoyment of this hobby, much easier! You're an excellent instructor!
I recently purchased MSFS 2020 and the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo. This is my first foray into the PC flight sim world. Your instructions on the five configurations was very good. I found for the 4-engine jet throttle does not need to be selected to work correctly. I did have to select reverse for the speed brake. When assigning the throttle decrease I had to move it out of the detent to be able to validate. I also had issue with getting the flaps to properly operate. Now I just have to try flying a 4-engine jet. For the Cessna sims I tried, it was okay. The G1000 was pretty close to true to life that I am used to. Thank you for the time creating this.
Many thanks to you!! Neither my #1, nor my #2 were working. Watching your bug video and this one was everything I needed to clear up the issue and then bind all setting in the Bravo Quadrant. I've spent a couple of hours running all acft configurations this morning to test out. 100% I love it when people put out quality videos with current and correct information. Thanks again, Rmag!
My Honeycomb Bravo just arrived and I'm in the process of setting up my profiles now. I'm sure there will be some hiccups here and there with the updates that have dropped since, but I've watched every single one of your videos and I think I'm pretty prepared to get through any issues that come up. Thank you so much for this series!!
You are one of the best U tube bloggers out there when it comes to presenting a "How to do" type of scenario especially when it comes to the rather complex pieces of flight sim apparatus. I would like to thank you for spending your time helping me and many others out there in the flight sim community. It is truly appreciated and please keep up the good work.
This was exactly what I was looking for on how to configure the Bravo Quadrant. Bonus points for matching the configurations as described in the TQ manual. Thank you!
Good lord, I got my Bravo a few days ago after 6 months of waiting and I thought I had figured it all out, I also installed spad.next to start setting up more complex mapping etc. Then I watched this video and I realized there's a frigging detent if you push the levers all the way down! I would have never guessed!
Thank you so very much! I was really struggling with the Bravo configurations. This was a perfect, simple, tutorial. As a retired pilot I mainly want to fly and not diddle with the configurations. You’re the greatest!
God bless you sir. I just got mine today and was excited then disappointed when it didn't work. Now I know what to do. Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much.
If you assign throttle cut to the same button as throttle decrease but change action type to" on release " instead of "on press " the thrust reverse work more realistically but you need to check that the action was saved as on release because it usually saves as on press the first time you do it
Thank you SO much for your video - I figured this out when my bravo throttle arrived, but it took me much more time than it did to you. After your video, I was able to configure a few things better! However, when I use the Throttle Quad. on FS2020,a couple odd behaviors occur: when I set an Altitude like 4000 ft and engage the AP, the plane climbs to 4000 but levels off at 3960 or 3950, never at 4000 ft. No matter what Altitude is set, it is always 40-50 below. Secondly, glideslopes are not captured for all aircraft. On Approach, RNAV or ILS, while flying at the correct Altitude (less those 40-50 ft) with APR button ON, it will reach the point where it should capture the glideslope but keeps going straight, never engaging the glideslope. I can see the GS indicator pass through the altitude where it should engage and keeps going down. If I disconnect the Bravo Quad and use the buttons and lever from the Extreme 3D Pro Microsoft Joystick, everything works fine. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game 3 times in these last two days, and the behavior was the same every time. has anyone experienced this, or has any idea how to fix it?
I tested the AP with altitude hold and an approach using the TBM. I did not have any of these problems. Some thoughts... If you have an altitude set you don't have a high enough power setting to climb, you may not get to the exact altitude you want. Are your magenta V-Bars above your yellow V-Bars in your ADI when this is happening? Regarding not capturing the glideslope or glidepath, are you forgetting to activate the approach? Just having the approach loaded is not enough. It has to be activated to capture it.
@@RMAG Thank you so much for your response. Approach always ON, magenta and yellow lines leveled, altitude stable. None of that were the problem. About an hour ago, I figured out the real cause: it was the way the Bravo throttle works on FS2020 versus X Plane11. I was using the selector button to define a certain altitude, then moved it to VS to set up the climbing speed, and left it there. The AP assumes VS is selected and gives it a priority, even though the plane is flying at the specified altitude. Therefore, when trying to capture the glide slope, the VS won't allow it because it is at zero, active from the Selector button. Once I switched it back to ALT before reaching the glideslope waypoint AND activating the ALT button with the APR button already on, all problems faded away. Even the 20-40 ft discrepancy. In X Plane11, when I set the altitude using the selector button and then the VS climbing speed, the AP automatically turns the ALT button on once it reached the desired altitude and deactivates the VS function. FS2020 doesn't do this (at least in my case). Either way, now I was able to fly 2 short routes on different planes and GS was captured. First time in almost 2 months!
Your problem I think is also related to another bug in MSFS. The selector knob should not arm VS mode. I just put up another video describing the problem and the fix here: ruclips.net/video/bJSBxbmC3Eo/видео.html
Excellent tutorial! I just got my Honeycomb Throttle Quadrant yesterday and this video is exactly what I needed to watch. Hope to see more videos from your channel. Have a Happy New Year!
Note in Feb 2022 - just got Bravo and can't get Airbus reversers to work correctly nor with idle throttle detent. This might well be because they have since released more throttle levers for Airbus for us to buy! Also noticed some of the control options for throttle you mentioned are no longer available in MSFS (for me just Flaps Axis seems to work and there is no -100 to 100).
@@JCrowe possibly. I have to see how it works in 2024. I think I read that bindings can be saved per aircraft which will add complexity but also versatility. It will be nice to load up an aircraft and have it automatically use the right profile.
Firstly, I want to say this is an amazing video thank you! I think It is amazing that they are able and willing to offer such quality and application at this price, while Saitek/Logitech was offering "toys" with substandard potentiometers and materials. In order to have an equivalent logitech/saitek setup you would need: 2 throttle quadrants, 1 flight switch panel, and1 multi-panel for a grand total of $368. Granted some of their panels have digital readout it is difficult to factor in how that affects the price. Nevertheless, I still think Honeycomb Aeronautical deserves a round of applause.
thank you so much for making this video, I have been struggling for weeks to set up the different types of aircraft throttle configurations and nearly gave up... frustration level too high to manage with everything else going on. You have reinvigorated my quest to master this awesome piece of kit! thank you again!
Amazing tutorial!! Thank you very much for this! However, I thought I would give you a tip I discovered while watching this. You don't need to use the throttle CUT in order to get the reversers back in. Open reversers when you need them, push the switches back to normal operation, then simply move the respective throttle forward in the slightest the the buckets will close in the sim.
I was aware of that but you have to 1. Flip your reverser levers off 2: push throttles toward then back. Versus with the cutoffs you go reverse then pull the throttles all the way back to stop. As a pilot pulling back on throttles is more natural then the flip/jiggle required above. After you pull back through the detent then you can reset your reverser levers at your leisure.
Thank you. This saved my sanity. I didn’t have time to figure out all this myself. I did have an issue with getting the flap lever to work but I figured it out.
Really good guide thanks for doing this. One thing to be aware of and maybe worth adding a note in the description.... The Flaps axis can behave strangely with the auto assist for takeoff & landing being enabled it will automatically reset the flaps position and override the controller input. Its easy enough to disable from the Assist Options but looks like the controller or binding is bugged/broken when you first see it unless you're expecting it.
Great video! After plug & play with the Alpha Yoke I was surprised to see the difference with the Bravo. But after your videos and realizing the different configuration options it became obvious why it needs some setting up. Your video made me like the configuration process!
Just got mine and this helped. Thanks. I would also add that when coming out of reverse with the jets, bring your reversers out, then a quick advance of the throttles with bring it out of reverse also. Little better than using engine cutoff.
Hi @Rmag, Great video! Also used it as a starting point to configure my Bravo. But I have another recommendation. Instead of creating single engine profiles by assigning throttle axis 1, propeller axis 1 and mixture axis 1, I recommend to assign the general throttle axis, propeller axis and mixture axis in this profile. By doing so this profile will work for a single engine but it will also work for a 2, 3 or whatever engine aircraft. You can anyway not create a specific profile for a 3 or more engine prop aircraft since you only have pairs of levers. So beside the 2 and 4 jet engine profiles I have - 1/X Engine TPM (e.g. Bonanza) - 1/X Engine TM (e.g. C172) - 1/X Engine T (e.g. Icon) - 2 Engine TPM (e.g. Baron) - 2 Engine T (e.g. DA62) Did I miss some? The first profile works as default for all props without having to change the levers. Happy virtual flying!
For my single engines, I actually shift the throttle one to the right. So I'm using lever 2 3 and 4 (left to right). And I add the comercial Flaps handle on the lever 6 (far right). Just for that finer/better contorl of flaps in some aircraft.
First of all thank you for taking the time to pull together and share. I just acquired the Bravo..and the information you provided helped remove the potential frustration and enabled me to get up and running quickly. One thing I did differently after thinking about your setup; specifically going from the complex single engine to the basic single engine i.e. I kept the mixture lever in the third from the left position, and simply took out the blue prop lever from the second position...the thinking was this way if I switch from a basic to a complex single aircraft, I simply need to add the blue lever in its place. I appreciate that I may by splitting hairs here. My question is whether I am missing something...or is it simply a matter of preference. Thanks again..
Thanks you very much for this video. And the reference to the "bug video" as it helped me solve it for me. On a side note, I did not keep the throttle, propeller and mixture axis 1 on the single engine GA profiles, but actually swiched the axis to the general ones (without number) this way I got a "default" profile that would almost always work ;)
Like everyone has said, fantastic tutorial. Question though, now that we’re all reeling from MSFS update 5, as it relates to complex single setup, I can’t seem to bind the Decrease Mixture 1 and the Toggle Feather Switch 1. Any feedback there?
Question for you please. I have been making changes like you suggested with the bravo switches for brakes and such. Got it all good and love it. Problem is this, I dont have pedals yet, they come in around april 1. Until then I was trying the keyboard (num pad (* - and 0 Enter)) for rudder and brake controls. While taxing everything goes great, parking brake works as planned. but if i use the right, left brake and or right-left rudder all the sudden my throttle goes full bore. (Cessna 152 btw) And then from that point on anytime i try to reduce throttle it automatically goes back to full bore. It also is note worthy to share that the flaps go to 10% by them selves as well. If I put them back to 0 they go to 10 again. Its like the brakes and or rudder turned on some kind of AP. only way to fix it is to delete all my profiles and start from scratch again. Now obviously, the rudder pedals will hopefully fix all this but I am still concerned that touching my keyboard can have such a catastrophic effect. Ever heard of anything like this? I sit in the MSFS discord and talk to other veterans but thought you would be the guy to ask.
Thank you kind sir! Complete newbie here but what about the HC Alpha? Does it require different settings for different planes or are some switches just not used on some planes while all other planes use the same switches in the same manner?
I did everything you showed on the video, but every time I change an input on the throttles or props or mixture, the reverse axis disappears, and also I have a dead zone on the levers, they only work 1/2 inch from the top, and 1/2 from the bottom, what to do?....
I have an issue where the throttles show up working in the sensitivity screen but not the binding. When I go to rebind them they show up as Axis + or Axis -. Basically the throttles work like buttons increasing or decreasing power by about a 1/3 in steps.
Great instruction. I would like to know if these profiles can be saved as files and then imported into the MSFS 2020. If so do you have any directions on how to do that? Thanks
@@RMAG Unfortunately not, the trim got increased to 100% despite me not rolling it down or up. I am currently trying to troubleshoot the issue with the Aerosoft to see whether it is a hardware issue or software glitch...
Excellent video and was able to set all profiles. However how do I recall them attach/assign to specific aircraft or edit in the future. Please any help
Any reason why our Bravo TQ's start at Throttle 4 at the top and descend to throttle 1 at the bottom? Your video shows the opposite way round, with throttle 1 at the top and 4 at the bottom!
Now i have a Tip for you. For Reversers in Jet Aircraft´s. Set cut this Way: Pull it back down and than pull down the Reverserswitch all so and but back up than Verfi it.
I'm not at my Sim right now, but pretty sure the field is "Set Parking Brake" you bind to pressing whatever switch you want the direction you want. Keep in mind, a lot of times when the game starts it sets the parking brake to "on" by default. To turn the brake off initially, you will have to hit your switch on then off again.
I use the default profile as it is out of the box, default sensitivities. The only thing I did was remap smart cam button as I use that button for a push to talk switch using PilotEdge live ATC.
Thanks for the reply. I just got the Honeycomb yoke and throttle to replace the Saitek yoke, throttle, auto pilot and switch panel. Reason for asking is that I am having trouble setting up camera with hi hat and also getting from inside to outside views. Your throttle setup for twin and single engine were very helpul (Beech Baron 58 and Cessna 172 with air manager).
When i turn my reverser on the 4 engine setting it clicks on, it doesnt move slowly and my spoiler engages at the same time as my reversers. Not sure whats going on.
? Nice ... Im curious why you set the back movement for increase ? Also what is the position beyond detent actually used for ? Decrease doesnt make sense to me... Thanks !
Thank you for sharing this. It is awesome and very helpful. I found, that if I select a TWIN COMPLEX setup and fly a SIMPLE SINGLE like Cessna 172, when I hit the 'fly' button, the sim CTD...crash. I never thought that a wrong profile could cause this. I reinstalled everthing, at the end the operating systems itself... Steam cloud reconfigured my throttle bravo, CTD.... I was near a meltdown...but found the issue at the end. Maybe this is helpful to someone.
Great tutorial helped me out huge to get reversers going. For some reason If I put all for eng throttles in reverse axis it does the opposite of what is needed. My reversers worked great but after ils landing when I pull them the throttles go half up.. bug maybe?
I have an updated version of this video for MSFS 2024 at ruclips.net/video/NS9SKr3Wqno/видео.htmlsi=qBKZixYEHfB_cwWR

You can anyway not create a specific profile for a 3 or more engine prop aircraft since you only have pairs of levers.
So beside the 2 and 4 jet engine profiles I have
- 1/X Engine TPM (e.g. Bonanza)
- 1/X Engine TM (e.g. C172)
- 1/X Engine T (e.g. Icon)
- 2 Engine TPM (e.g. Baron)
- 2 Engine T (e.g. DA62)
Did I miss some? The first profile works as default for all props without having to change the levers.
Happy virtual flying!
For my single engines, I actually shift the throttle one to the right. So I'm using lever 2 3 and 4 (left to right). And I add the comercial Flaps handle on the lever 6 (far right). Just for that finer/better contorl of flaps in some aircraft.
Big Thanks...I am about setup my controls today fresh in the mail.
Thank you so much for this video. Finally someone explaining how to program this so I understand it. Thank you again!
You've set me up for success, thank you for such an educational video!
First of all thank you for taking the time to pull together and share. I just acquired the Bravo..and the information you provided helped remove the potential frustration and enabled me to get up and running quickly. One thing I did differently after thinking about your setup; specifically going from the complex single engine to the basic single engine i.e. I kept the mixture lever in the third from the left position, and simply took out the blue prop lever from the second position...the thinking was this way if I switch from a basic to a complex single aircraft, I simply need to add the blue lever in its place. I appreciate that I may by splitting hairs here. My question is whether I am missing something...or is it simply a matter of preference. Thanks again..
I was thinking the same thing and can't see any issues with doing this.
Thank you for this video. Made set up very simple for my new Bravo Throttle.
Absolutely amazing tutorial.. even I could follow it without issue! Thank you again good sir!!
Thank you very much, I was looking for this tutorial 😅. You made it I’m happy…thank you alot
Thank you so much for posting this! Straight to the point with the right info... New Sub!
Brilliant, sir! Thank you AGAIN...your videos have saved all of us so much time...
Thanks for your videos there great but my control buttons do not highlight when turned on can you please help I have looked everywhere for a fix.
After update 5 the controller buttons don’t highlight but they should still bind. Probably a bug they need to fix now…
Good idea on using those extra toggle switches when you already have the Alpha Yoke!
Thanks you very much for this video. And the reference to the "bug video" as it helped me solve it for me.
On a side note, I did not keep the throttle, propeller and mixture axis 1 on the single engine GA profiles, but actually swiched the axis to the general ones (without number) this way I got a "default" profile that would almost always work ;)
Good thinking.
Great helpful Vid, clear and easy to understand.. Thankyou very much.
Thank you so much! Happy flying
May I join the choir ? THANK YOU very much for this extremely helpful tutorial!
Thank you Captain, for the detail explanation …. At last I’m going to fly ✈️
Excellent video my throttle arrives tomorrow this will help a lot.
Awesome! Where did you order from?
@@JohnJonesRocketCity I'm in Australia and I Pre-Ordered from a company here called the Gamesmen
Thank you for this - very useful and informative, as was the Mixture 2 one
WOW you made that so easy to understand. THANK YOU!
Great video. Well presented and completely necessary to set up the Bravo throttle. Thank you sir!
Great , many thanks and to lucky on the reverser info.
Love the video...Your calm voice...Thank you very much
Thank you for this video. How do you get to the Pre-Set manager tool @2:18 ?
Like everyone has said, fantastic tutorial. Question though, now that we’re all reeling from MSFS update 5, as it relates to complex single setup, I can’t seem to bind the Decrease Mixture 1 and the Toggle Feather Switch 1. Any feedback there?
Same here. The detent buttons all stopped working after update 5.
Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to do this!
Brilliant, brilliant man! Thanks for teaching me Master.
great and very clear. my only problem is throttle decrease, Toggle feather, and decrease mixsture don't highlite in white like yours does
Question for you please. I have been making changes like you suggested with the bravo switches for brakes and such. Got it all good and love it. Problem is this, I dont have pedals yet, they come in around april 1. Until then I was trying the keyboard (num pad (* - and 0 Enter)) for rudder and brake controls. While taxing everything goes great, parking brake works as planned. but if i use the right, left brake and or right-left rudder all the sudden my throttle goes full bore. (Cessna 152 btw) And then from that point on anytime i try to reduce throttle it automatically goes back to full bore. It also is note worthy to share that the flaps go to 10% by them selves as well. If I put them back to 0 they go to 10 again. Its like the brakes and or rudder turned on some kind of AP. only way to fix it is to delete all my profiles and start from scratch again. Now obviously, the rudder pedals will hopefully fix all this but I am still concerned that touching my keyboard can have such a catastrophic effect. Ever heard of anything like this? I sit in the MSFS discord and talk to other veterans but thought you would be the guy to ask.
Thank you kind sir! Complete newbie here but what about the HC Alpha? Does it require different settings for different planes or are some switches just not used on some planes while all other planes use the same switches in the same manner?
I did everything you showed on the video, but every time I change an input on the throttles or props or mixture, the reverse axis disappears, and also I have a dead zone on the levers, they only work 1/2 inch from the top, and 1/2 from the bottom, what to do?....
Awesome info and excellent presentation! Thank you so much!
Absolutely awesome video. Wish I could give it 100 thumbs up!
I have an issue where the throttles show up working in the sensitivity screen but not the binding. When I go to rebind them they show up as Axis + or Axis -. Basically the throttles work like buttons increasing or decreasing power by about a 1/3 in steps.
Try to manually choose the correct axis bind by choosing the names of the ones I show in the video instead of moving the levers to find it.
Just set mine up. That you for making this video. A huge help.
Great instruction. I would like to know if these profiles can be saved as files and then imported into the MSFS 2020. If so do you have any directions on how to do that? Thanks
Thank you this was helpful for the second time!
Great video. Can you give more information on setting up the trim wheel? Having difficulties….
The trim wheel default profile settings is what I used. Does this not work for you?
@@RMAG Unfortunately not, the trim got increased to 100% despite me not rolling it down or up. I am currently trying to troubleshoot the issue with the Aerosoft to see whether it is a hardware issue or software glitch...
@@RMAG I got it working after reinstalling the driver for the Honeycomb and playing around with the settings. Thank you for the info.
Excellent video and was able to set all profiles. However how do I recall them attach/assign to specific aircraft or edit in the future. Please any help
You press the left or right arrows below the BRAVO THROTTLE QUADRANT title in controls. You cycle through your various profiles.
@@RMAG thanks for the quick response and looking forward to more informative videos from you
Any reason why our Bravo TQ's start at Throttle 4 at the top and descend to throttle 1 at the bottom? Your video shows the opposite way round, with throttle 1 at the top and 4 at the bottom!
Now i have a Tip for you. For Reversers in Jet Aircraft´s. Set cut this Way: Pull it back down and than pull down the Reverserswitch all so and but back up than Verfi it.
Nice Tutorial, Need Help. How did you bind the Parking Brake to the switch
I'm not at my Sim right now, but pretty sure the field is "Set Parking Brake" you bind to pressing whatever switch you want the direction you want.
Keep in mind, a lot of times when the game starts it sets the parking brake to "on" by default. To turn the brake off initially, you will have to hit your switch on then off again.
@@RMAG You are doing God's work, my friend. Keep on keepin' on.
Hi , was wondering if you have done a video on setting up the Honeycomb yoke?
I use the default profile as it is out of the box, default sensitivities. The only thing I did was remap smart cam button as I use that button for a push to talk switch using PilotEdge live ATC.
Thanks for the reply. I just got the Honeycomb yoke and throttle to replace the Saitek yoke, throttle, auto pilot and switch panel. Reason for asking is that I am having trouble setting up camera with hi hat and also getting from inside to outside views. Your throttle setup for twin and single engine were very helpul (Beech Baron 58 and Cessna 172 with air manager).
When i turn my reverser on the 4 engine setting it clicks on, it doesnt move slowly and my spoiler engages at the same time as my reversers. Not sure whats going on.
Recently got my Alpha and Bravo. Following the video but not getting the throttle bars to move when I move the throttle stick. Why is that happening?
? Nice ... Im curious why you set the back movement for increase ? Also what is the position beyond detent actually used for ? Decrease doesnt make sense to me... Thanks !
Thank you for sharing this. It is awesome and very helpful.
I found, that if I select a TWIN COMPLEX setup and fly a SIMPLE SINGLE like Cessna 172, when I hit the 'fly' button, the sim CTD...crash. I never thought that a wrong profile could cause this. I reinstalled everthing, at the end the operating systems itself... Steam cloud reconfigured my throttle bravo, CTD.... I was near a meltdown...but found the issue at the end. Maybe this is helpful to someone.
Great tutorial helped me out huge to get reversers going. For some reason If I put all for eng throttles in reverse axis it does the opposite of what is needed. My reversers worked great but after ils landing when I pull them the throttles go half up.. bug maybe?
