well made with satisfied quality

First of all, let me say that I am a seasoned flight sim enthusiast. I've been at it since 1982 with the first Microsoft Flight Simulator. So, I know my way around a cockpit! And let me tell you, this quadrant is a true gem. Out of the box, it works seamlessly with Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. And the positive feel of the switches and levers is a real plus. The attention to detail on this thing is amazing - from the way the levers operate to the overall functionality of the quadrant. And the mounting hardware is top-notch, making it a breeze to secure to your desk. This quadrant is truly an all-in-one cockpit system. It has a configurable throttle setup that can handle anything from single-engine general aviation to four-engine commercial aircraft. And the versatility doesn't stop there! You can customize your throttle, switches, and indicator lights to simulate multiple aircraft. It's the most versatile flight simulation experience possible. One of my favorite features on this quadrant is the gear lever with red/green LED landing gear indicator lights. It adds a level of realism that makes the experience all the more enjoyable. And the annunciator panel is a real game-changer. With 7 two-way programmable switches and 14 warning lights, it makes navigating the cockpit a breeze. In conclusion, the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is one of the finest flight simulation devices I have ever used. The attention to detail, versatility, and ease of use make it a must-have for any flight sim enthusiast. So, if you're looking for a top-notch cockpit setup, look no further than the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant!

The levers, buttons, and switches all work very well and are solidly-made. The trim wheel does suffer from being extremely unresponsive for MSFS 2020, but that's not the fault of this unit. There are fixes online, but I decided to let it go. It "works" but not as well as I would like. As for the light panel, if you really want it to work well, you should download "Better Bravo Lights" which is a free app. With some very simple programming you can make the lights respond exactly how you want. Overall, this was the most expensive peripheral I've purchased, but it was well worth the money.

The Brovo throttle assembly a very versatile device. It allows for many configurations from single engine piston engines through multiple engine turboprops and jets. The unit feels well built but is made from plastic. The plastic is high quality and feels nice to the touch. All the buttons work well as do the switches. All 6 sliders have smooth movement but they do not all match so you’ll want to be aware of this primarily with multiple engine aircraft. From left to right the first two are identical and the 4 after are identical so trying a multiple engine setup on an aircraft with spoilers you want to avoid having the first engine in the second spot from the left because it won’t match the other engines. I tried a configuration I’m accustomed to on a 747. Spoiler, engine, engine, engine, engine, flaps. With this configuration engine 1 will not match engines 2, 3 & 4. You can compensate to a degree but adjusting the curve on engine 1 but it will never match the other 3 so I just use the last 4 and use one of the piston engine throttles as my flap lever since the flap and speed break handle and throttle 1 interfere with each other in this configuration. I used .8 X .3” craft stickers which work great unlike my memory try to remember what the 7 unmarked switches do. I really like having the ability to adjust altitude, heading, climb and descent at my fingertips. The one area here that would be really nice is if the line on the dial was highlighted white or something to contrast the black button but it is raised so you feel the position at least. Great product and the only reason it’s not a 5 star are a couple of very minor things. Love it!!!

Pros - Very high quality build, throttle tension feels like the real thing. Plenty of buttons and switches and extras. Configurable for just about any aircraft type. Very accurate. Cons - Trim wheel sucks, it should be analog but its not. Reverse axis is just a switch so you can't do realistic reverse thrust for a lot of airliners. Takes up a ton of space, airliner throttle handles are comically small. Not fully compatible with X-Plane 12. We all know the issues going on with Honeycomb right now, if you don't you should be aware they might not be around for much longer. Hopefully they are. Anyway, if you are only going to get one throttle, this is the one. It can do everything really well and the few things its not great at there are workarounds for or aftermarket accessories. And the aftermarket for this thing is absolutely huge. You want real 737 scale throttles with working buttons? You can get them. You want A320 handles that fit the Honeycomb Airbus levers? You can get that too. Don't wait to get one if you are thinking of it, like I said the company might not be around for much longer and this throttle and the yoke, especially the XPC yoke are superior at this price point.

I bought this for a gift for my brother for christmas and he loved it. He says it is excellent quality

Best quadrant on the market.. period! PS: if you want the led lights to turn on, you need to download a driver. (a quick Google/Youtube search will point you to the right direction)
