    Hi everyone Just wondering if any members have this and what the opinions are. I have the Honeycomb alpha yoke. The reviews on the fulcrum are very promising but I am not sure how it compares with the honeycomb alpha. Any members who had the alpha and have switched over to the fulcrum. Looking forward to some help. Qas

  3. I finally got the new Honeycomb throttle quadrant and I'm trying to get it working. I'm limited to FS2020 and X-Plane 11.53 at the moment as the NVidia 2080 in my flight sim computer died and I had to put in an older AMD GPU as a backup and P3D won't run on it. 😞 Both X-Plane and FS2020 recognize the Bravo and I can map the axes to match the TPM functions (I mostly fly GA twin engine aircraft like the Cessna 310, B58 Baron, and Seneca V) — but I can't get the axes data values ranges right. Some are dead, some act as if they were just on/off 0 or 100%, others jump from 0 to 50% then slide 100%, and so on. They should all put out smoothly from 0 to 100% instead …

    I am looking at the market for a new throttle since the honeycomb throttle won't be available until atleast September at the earliest I had a look around and found the GoFlight TQ6 Advanced, its perfect and just want I need but their website states that with executive order No.20-12 in place they have closed their doors temporarily. My friend in Oregon has told me that executive order No.20-12 has not been in place for almost a year. Any ideas when/if GoFlight will be opening up again?

  6. Yesterday I took my PC to a monthly meeting of simmers. Plugged everything in and had an enjoyable day flying Concorde. Returned home and reconnected everything but I had some difficulty plugging in the Saitek throttle quadrant to the Yoke socket. It's the round one. The other throttle goes into a USB port. I was probably too heavy handed and even though the plug goes most of the way in when I load a saved flight it's immediately obvious the left two throttle levers are not responding. I can also hear a click, click, click from FSX indicating a bad connection. I've examined the pins on the plug but it's hard to determine if any are bent or not. I've contacted …

  9. Hello! I need your help, please. How can I set the reverse thrust in AAO on the Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle? I defined the thrust lever as an axis and that works very well. The reverse thrust is defined as buttons on this throttle control. Button 28 is the left and button 29 is the right thrust lever Button. I've already tried all the parameters in the Button configuration, but I can't send the signals to the simulator. I would be very grateful for help, maybe someone has already solved the problem? I'm not a programmer, so I need help from professionals. I'm talking about the MSFS2020 simulator and I've removed the bindings in the simulator. Many Thanks.

  10. Hi guys, This is something i've just noticed with my honeycomb yoke,but i'm not sure if its the yoke, the sim or how in reality this happens. I've not had my yoke very long and i'm still tweaking the sensitivities for aircraft types.I also do not have rudder pedals so i've had to use rudder assist in the piloting options, although i don't think its an issue in this scenario. So single engine prop, 2 and 4 eng jets banking left or right the aircraft turn at the same speed as long as the + and - sensitivities are set the same. However in twin engine props when i bank right, it is slower to achieve the same angle of bank than it takes to bank left. …

    Hi all, I am having difficulty getting my Track IR 5 to work in MSFS (2020). I had it working once. Even in the Track IR software I cannot get it to recognize the hat clip. The red lights are all that light up, never either of the green. I have used track IR 3 in FSX without problem. This is what I have done: I have down loaded the latest software. I have made sure that MSFS 2020 is located in game profiles. I have installed and reinstalled several times. I have tried plugging in to different USB ports, i have both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I have tried the F9 pause/unpause. I have even put the hat clip close to the device in any nu…

  14. Good afternoon Gents, My X52 HOTAS was working PERFECTLY last week. I wanted to try Ezydoc camera 2, Bought and installed it. Uninstalled it the very next day and that's when my problems started. I have spent no less than 30 hours Googling and attempting fixes. Installed new drivers. NOTHING will fix the X and Y axis. I uninstalled the Saitek registry entry's, uninstalled the Saitek software and completely removed any trace of Saitek X52 entries from my system. I used an old installation disc, and reinstalled the software. Well, anyway, the Flight control system was working perfectly with old the drivers, and mid flight, I got the dreaded blinking lights. It stopped …

  15. I asked this question in the FSX/FSX-SE Forum because I'm not sure if it is a hardware or software (FSX) issue. It got lots of views but no answers, so I'm trying here. Please help if you can. I have Saitek/Logitech Yoke,Throttle Quadrant, and Pedals controlling FSX-SE. I have previously tried but never used FSUIPC, because I couldn't understand it, so have always used the standard FSX-SE on-board controls interface. Every now and again (like now) controller assignments get 'scrambled' and when I reset them they don't stay the way I set them. It's almost as if FSX keeps trying to reimpose the default settings over the top of my own choices. Assuming it was a co…

  16. Dear All, I recently replaced the motherboard on my 10 yr+ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle after it 'bricked' and all seemed ok expect I then saw spiking on the left throttle (Z Rotation stays full on during throttle travel then jumps to 0% near the end). Having rechecked the cables I'm assuming it's not related and there is an issue with the potetentiometer (although the various sites I've been to are slightly confusing as to what type of potentiometer this is) - I've witten to TM again to see if they supply spares but so far haven't had a reply (to be fair it's only been a few days since I wrote to them again and the previous service from their side was good). …

All the panels are plug and play, eg, GoFlight switch and button panels, CPFlight MCP and EFIS, Propwash Radios etc, so for someone like me who is completely in the dark about wiring up my own customised switches and buttons, it's a bit of a challenge. I have a single panel I want to now buld which is to house primarily, a flap lever, parking brake and landing gear. I will add a few additional toggle switches also. So far I have bought after talking with Simon, a Leo Bodnar card, wire and a USB cable. The only thing I now need are the switches and here is where I become unsure...
