Damage caused by connecting components that are not shipped or included with the Honeycomb Products. Alpha Flight Controls was designed to fulfil the requirements of both flight simulation users and student or full-time pilots. Additionally, the base has mounting points which can be used for attaching future products developed by Honeycomb as well as existing Saitek devices, so it can be easily expanded by adding more controllers or switch panels.

If Honeycomb set out to hit a middle ground market place between budget and high end system then it has certainly met its goal. At Pooleys, we believe strongly in giving back to the aviation community and giving those who would not ordinarily have the opportunity to experience flight, the ability to realise their dreams. Pros: Quality and physical robustness, Smooth and responsive, calibratable, Additional Control Switches, and feels real. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The high-quality mechanics offer a realistic full 180 turn radius with a self-centring mechanism with no dead zone to control the aileron.Twin rocker switches and two push-buttons can be configured for functions such as aileron and rudder trim. First of all, it’s a tool-less process that takes just 1 minute to figure out: there’s a base that can be secured to the table through a strong suction cup, or you can use two mounting plates that clamp onto the desk. We have included some photos of the Honeycombe Alpha Yoke integrated with some of our Complete Flight Consoles like our FSTD1 which provides a high quality and high fidelity training or entertainment system for the serious enthusiast who wants the best in the market place. Honeycomb also developed an Xbox hub (available separately), which can be used to connect other Honeycomb products such as the Bravo Throttle Quadrant and Charlie Rudder Pedals. You will find further information in the privacy settings, where you can also change your selection at any time.

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.

if you’re not happy with the speed or precision of the trim as default, it’s hard to adjust without having an external program like FSUIPC or SPAD. That cornerstone of a PC system is the most important part of the PC system as concerns what’s in the chassis, which might surprise you, but it’s definitely the devices you use to interact with a PC which are absolutely top dog. I switched to the XPC after owning the original version for about 18 months and the control sensitivity of the XPC is significantly smoother and feels more direct. You can do that but Honeycomb flight controls are conflicting with my mouse and even after plugging in one item at a time and configuring, was only able to get the Yoke to work. The suction pad is suitable for users with very thick tables that can’t hold the clamps, and it’s surprisingly rock solid.
