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.
Added customizable delay for normal/fast repeat in milliseconds on a per press-event basis (default 600ms)
Features
A few design flaws also stop me from recommending these more enthusiastically. Namely, the depth of both controller modules compared to most desks, and the fitting mechanisms which have never inspired much confidence in me.
CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Configuration/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Configuration.dll Additional features include a general aviation autopilot, annunciator lights and a switch panel. The trim wheel and undercarriage lever can also be seen in this shot. Mounting 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

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 would have liked to employ one or more of the Autopilot mode switches as operational controls such as IDENT, ON, or STANDBY. However I could not find command variables available within the MSFS profile to control them. I was able to employ a momentary button on another control device as an IDENT button using FSUIPC7 which made that command variable available. A Bravo Autopilot Mode button could have been used if I knew how to use switch combinations in FSUIPC7.
The contents of this AFC_Bridge” folder has to be copied to the X-Plane plugins folder. It contains a Windows exe file as well as a macOS app file. What does is actually do? It offers a separate program that can be started without having X-Plane running, but you need to have the Honeycomb Alpha or Bravo device connected. to your PC or Mac. As of this writing – January 2021 – after several attempts I finally got Aerosoft AFC_Bridge program working with macOS Big Sur, but what said, only after several attempts. 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. The fun can start. I’m ready to start up X-Plane and test the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. This section is applicable to both Windows and macOS. demonstrating this process. In particular at about 11 minutes into this video the author, Rmag, describes his bindings to control the OBS for VOR2. This example clearly shows how multiple switches can be combined to trigger an event which is the key to expanding the Bravo’s configuration. Attached below are screenshots of the bindings needed to implement this configuration as they appear on the CONTROLS OPTIONS screen within various sections of an expanded BRAVO Profile. They each include a diagram of the Bravo Throttle Quadrant illustrating the switch numbers assigned to each Bravo control that are used to create each of the bindingsI am going down the path of FSUIPC to manage the rotary selectors on the Alpha and Bravo so that their positions control the function of the POV hat and various pushbuttons. My goal is enabling every important control from the alpha and bravo while in VR. I expect a lot of trial and error in coming up with a good functional set of mappings, so I am using a Python module I wrote to easily regenerate the appropriate button programming in the FSUIPC7.ini, based on whatever ideas I want to try out. Here’s a thread Python-based generation of FSUIPC ini file content - User Contributions - The simFlight Network Forums in the FSUIPC forum focused on the Python module, but the gen_ini.py example provided is the gist of what I am thinking. My bravo lights stopped working for some reason, first it was the auto pilot light , then the gear light stopped, now none work. I tried the christmas tree app to test the lights and this is what I got, I dont understand any of this, any help would be appreciated. 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 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.

Ho ho, hold on. How does the Bravo equipment feels so far? Yes, yes, I’m aware of that. Out of the box, there were a few minor software issues, and a few things that needed to be configured that were not documented in the included literature. This led to multiple uncontrollable crashes initially, and made me wonder if the unit was defective. (It wasn’t, it just needed to be properly configured) If an add-on aircraft has a dedicated developed AP, it could be that the assignments for AP commands are different then the ones assigned by the joy file. That said, when this happens you should go in my humble opinion for User Profiles.
Great Deal
