New Throttle set

[Naki]

Looking at getting a new throttle set (current Logitech mixture lever is almost broken off) and I like the look of this one...anybody else have it? Is it any good? Looks very versatile with different throttle combinations

Nice to have the option to go all the way to four engines ... and the annunciator panel is a bonus! How does it cope with prop & mixture control when all four engines take up the four throttle slots?

[Naki]

hmm good question, although I mostly fly one or two engine aircraft so wouldn't be much of an issue for me.

I suspect you'd need to do what I do (dual throttle TM Warthog): bind axes 1+2 then 3+4. Not ideal, but at least you can steer better when taxiing.

Hello Naki - I replaced a failing CH quad with the Honeycomb one and I am very happy with it. I mainly fly in AFS4 and I have it set for twin-prop piston engine aircraft, which I find is the most versatile config. AFS is a bit different from MS, where I mapped all the controls via FSUIPC. In the start menu for AFS, you can say whether you are a plane or a chopper, single, twin, or multi engined and the levers will give you whatever you set in the initial install, as appropriate. For example, for a plane I have lever 3 mapped as PropPitch 1 but when I say I am a chopper it is the Collective
The Bravo is a good solid piece of kit - I just wish the labelling on the autopilot controls was a bit bigger

Thanks Mike and Adam!...sounds ideal...I've just measured my desk space and it will be a bit tight but I'm going to push the buy now button!

Been using the Bravo since they first came out - great. I’m thinking of buying another one ready for if and when my current one fails. Only odd-ball thing with MSFS is that you need to download and install (goes into the Community Folder) a small file from Aerosoft that makes the lights on the Bravo work - don’t think they’re addressed this little issue with it yet.

Thanks John
