@@captshark2153 that’s my next purchase for my setup, a Bravo throttle with the aircraft specific add ons. I haven’t looked into it since that stuff happened with Honeycomb, hopefully the prices aren’t too ridiculous in the coming year or so, lol
Hahah. My mini throttle on this thing is actually used for brakes. I have T-rudders with no toe brakes, so it's perfect. Then the landing gear handle is for parking brake.
I fly military sims with all Virpil gear. I also own honeycomb alpha and bravo. I still bought this and can't wait for it to arrive for my PMDG planes. I would like to make people aware that there are QC issues with this TM Yoke. Make sure to do your research to find out the defects. There are people out there who figured out ways to fix it without having to send it back to TM.
I own it too. With the throttle. The clamps are so big that they intrude when sitting down or getting up from the desk. Also, the nose/base where at the bottom really come into your lap. It would have been nice if they were smaller. But the feel of the yolk is pretty realistic and it seems to be the holding up okay so far.
I really like mine. I wouldn't recommend buying the throttle and regret going for the combo package, better to spend some more money on the Bravo. Must say service is really well as one sensor was giving some problems but all fixed within the guarantee period. The thickness of the desk is a good point to notice before buying.
If what you have works for you, definitely stick with it! The two paths I see for buying this are someone who has never had/has a yoke, or if what you have broke.
@@FlightSimSchool I haven't added the second springs as the resistence to me seems good enough. The moving of the yoke is cumbersome at best. To that I am just working around it with my wireless keyboard.
Is there any way to configure the right hat switch for stabilizer trim???? I couldn't find an option for that on Xplane and I think Thrust Master made a big mistake not providing the yoke with stab trim switches for anyone who wants to fly with the right hand. I would appreciate a solution for this. Thank you
That’s a good point. I think the best you can do is use one of the two-way switches on the right and say that pushing it right is up and left is down, or whichever makes more sense to you. Not great, but better than nothing.
@@FlightSimSchoolyeah.... That's what i have done for now.... I would like the right hat switch as a trim.... The problem is it doesn't have a neutral point between the up and down commands for configuration. I thought maybe there's a more advanced solution for this issue... Thank you
Nah, I would stick with the Alpha. I'd only consider upgrading if you have issues with your Alpha, especially considering how Honeycomb are going right now with support...
For the 737, I run straight linear. For the 777, I got these things watching Blackbox711 and I find them pretty good : - L-Axis-X: -25 for both Sensitivities - L-Axis-Y: -14 for both Sensitivities
This yoke has been giving me issues since i got it. Bad roll deadzone, jittering, messed up center, etc. Very disappointed in this 400 dollar product. I will never buy from thrustmaster again
@eyup26, its very cheap indeed, sensors suck, bad plastic all over. Thrustmaster sends all the non defective products to content creators, and the rest to paying users. Dont buy from thrustmaster
i can never use this yoke though because i have to do weird stuff to make it work ..its so annoying i have no idea how to make it work for all my planes...
@@FlightSimSchool like for example my yoke only work normal if I start the flight from the runway ….it turns when I turn the yoke , but if I start the plane at the gate from cold and set the plane up manually I can’t turn the plane when I use my yoke
If you want to use it to turn the plane on the ground (and you don’t have rudder pedals or a joystick with a twist action), you’ll need to turn auto-rudder on in the settings, and it should work. You could also bind the right hat switch to move the rudder axis as well which should work too. I hope that helps!
Flight sim and F1... Such a man of culture!
Was wondering if anyone would notice that ;)
The yoke has been fantastic for me over the last 3 years. The throttle quadrant is the weak link...
I concur! Also I have never used my throttle, instead I use the Bravo throttle with Prodesksim addons.

@@TravisPrybylski Awesome! My only issue is the lead time is about 8 weeks on ProDeskSim addons. It can be frustrating but it's worth it. 🙂
There’s also flight sim factory on Etsy that I’ve heard good things about but I haven’t bought any from them yet myself

Agreed, I do wonder if they’ll eventually create a version 2 that is a bit smaller.
Hi great video man, I'm ordering the tape right after this! Also thats the ender desk mount for the honeyccomb throttle ?
It’s actually a small coffee table that I mounted the Bravo onto, like that I can slide it out and away if I need more space very easily.

I get what you’re saying since I love my bravo, but considering honeycomb’s track record of late I found it hard to recommend that path.
Thanks for the explanation. I'd buy it but my old yoke still runs good after I mod it with hall effect sensors instead of mechanical potentiometers.
If what you have works for you, definitely stick with it! The two paths I see for buying this are someone who has never had/has a yoke, or if what you have broke.
Love my Boeing TCA Yoke and Quad
Thanks for some of your tips and tricks. The sliding of the yoke is a great one. As we do have other day jobs. Haha
Yep. My friend who also has this yoke had his sitting in a closet for months on end because it was such a hassle to put on and off all the time.

Yoke is very good for vr flying. Gives good distance to 2D displays so I dont hit them with vr controllers😅
Hi, i have the Honyecomb Alpha yoke would you get the Boeing as a upgrade?
Nah, I would stick with the Alpha. I'd only consider upgrading if you have issues with your Alpha, especially considering how Honeycomb are going right now with support...
Can you show your sensitivity?
Which plane are you looking for? I have a few different ones.

That sucks. Did you create a support ticket with them?
@@FlightSimSchool yes and they have been denying whats happening and has been no help at all
looks so cheap i am happy that i got honeycoomb alpha
I’m not sure how you got the impression it’s cheap, it most definitely is not, in all senses of the word 😂
@@FlightSimSchool buttons and plastic cover and the fact that you had to cover with tennis tacket grip.
