As of Flight Sim version 5 you do not need to check “reverse axis” on the levers. By default, the axis works as is now. Also when binding switches (including lever detents) now you need to flip the switch on for the input to be sensed, but then turn the switch off before validating it, or the validation will freeze. Additionally, when testing a switch the fields don’t turn white and dark anymore, but they will work. “Flaps Axis (-100 to 100)” is called “Flaps Axis” now.
You might already know this, but for anyone reading the comments Asobo added action types for button presses in the options. So if you want the thrust reversers to properly stow when you’re done using them, setup both the Throttle Decrease and the Throttle Cut command with the same reverser. Keep Throttle Decrease as the default “on press” action, but change Throttle Cut to “on release”. Now when you stow the reversers on the Bravo, they’ll actually stow properly in the aircraft and you don’t have to use the detent button on the Bravo.
Not sure i follow this exactly? Are we keeping throttle decrease as the actual lever itself still? And then using the detent for throttle cut but on release?
I'm a long time simmer and I just picked up an Alpha and a Beta. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to produce your instruction videos for this equipment. You made my life, and enjoyment of this hobby, much easier! You're an excellent instructor!
I recently purchased MSFS 2020 and the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo. This is my first foray into the PC flight sim world. Your instructions on the five configurations was very good. I found for the 4-engine jet throttle does not need to be selected to work correctly. I did have to select reverse for the speed brake. When assigning the throttle decrease I had to move it out of the detent to be able to validate. I also had issue with getting the flaps to properly operate. Now I just have to try flying a 4-engine jet. For the Cessna sims I tried, it was okay. The G1000 was pretty close to true to life that I am used to. Thank you for the time creating this.
My Honeycomb Bravo just arrived and I'm in the process of setting up my profiles now. I'm sure there will be some hiccups here and there with the updates that have dropped since, but I've watched every single one of your videos and I think I'm pretty prepared to get through any issues that come up. Thank you so much for this series!!
Many thanks to you!! Neither my #1, nor my #2 were working. Watching your bug video and this one was everything I needed to clear up the issue and then bind all setting in the Bravo Quadrant. I've spent a couple of hours running all acft configurations this morning to test out. 100% I love it when people put out quality videos with current and correct information. Thanks again, Rmag!
This was exactly what I was looking for on how to configure the Bravo Quadrant. Bonus points for matching the configurations as described in the TQ manual. Thank you!
You are one of the best U tube bloggers out there when it comes to presenting a "How to do" type of scenario especially when it comes to the rather complex pieces of flight sim apparatus. I would like to thank you for spending your time helping me and many others out there in the flight sim community. It is truly appreciated and please keep up the good work.
Thank you so very much! I was really struggling with the Bravo configurations. This was a perfect, simple, tutorial. As a retired pilot I mainly want to fly and not diddle with the configurations. You’re the greatest!
Good lord, I got my Bravo a few days ago after 6 months of waiting and I thought I had figured it all out, I also installed spad.next to start setting up more complex mapping etc. Then I watched this video and I realized there's a frigging detent if you push the levers all the way down! I would have never guessed!
If you assign throttle cut to the same button as throttle decrease but change action type to" on release " instead of "on press " the thrust reverse work more realistically but you need to check that the action was saved as on release because it usually saves as on press the first time you do it
Note in Feb 2022 - just got Bravo and can't get Airbus reversers to work correctly nor with idle throttle detent. This might well be because they have since released more throttle levers for Airbus for us to buy! Also noticed some of the control options for throttle you mentioned are no longer available in MSFS (for me just Flaps Axis seems to work and there is no -100 to 100).
Thank you SO much for your video - I figured this out when my bravo throttle arrived, but it took me much more time than it did to you. After your video, I was able to configure a few things better! However, when I use the Throttle Quad. on FS2020,a couple odd behaviors occur: when I set an Altitude like 4000 ft and engage the AP, the plane climbs to 4000 but levels off at 3960 or 3950, never at 4000 ft. No matter what Altitude is set, it is always 40-50 below. Secondly, glideslopes are not captured for all aircraft. On Approach, RNAV or ILS, while flying at the correct Altitude (less those 40-50 ft) with APR button ON, it will reach the point where it should capture the glideslope but keeps going straight, never engaging the glideslope. I can see the GS indicator pass through the altitude where it should engage and keeps going down. If I disconnect the Bravo Quad and use the buttons and lever from the Extreme 3D Pro Microsoft Joystick, everything works fine. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game 3 times in these last two days, and the behavior was the same every time. has anyone experienced this, or has any idea how to fix it?
I tested the AP with altitude hold and an approach using the TBM. I did not have any of these problems. Some thoughts... If you have an altitude set you don't have a high enough power setting to climb, you may not get to the exact altitude you want. Are your magenta V-Bars above your yellow V-Bars in your ADI when this is happening? Regarding not capturing the glideslope or glidepath, are you forgetting to activate the approach? Just having the approach loaded is not enough. It has to be activated to capture it.
@@RMAG Thank you so much for your response. Approach always ON, magenta and yellow lines leveled, altitude stable. None of that were the problem. About an hour ago, I figured out the real cause: it was the way the Bravo throttle works on FS2020 versus X Plane11. I was using the selector button to define a certain altitude, then moved it to VS to set up the climbing speed, and left it there. The AP assumes VS is selected and gives it a priority, even though the plane is flying at the specified altitude. Therefore, when trying to capture the glide slope, the VS won't allow it because it is at zero, active from the Selector button. Once I switched it back to ALT before reaching the glideslope waypoint AND activating the ALT button with the APR button already on, all problems faded away. Even the 20-40 ft discrepancy. In X Plane11, when I set the altitude using the selector button and then the VS climbing speed, the AP automatically turns the ALT button on once it reached the desired altitude and deactivates the VS function. FS2020 doesn't do this (at least in my case). Either way, now I was able to fly 2 short routes on different planes and GS was captured. First time in almost 2 months!
Your problem I think is also related to another bug in MSFS. The selector knob should not arm VS mode. I just put up another video describing the problem and the fix here: ua-cam.com/video/bJSBxbmC3Eo/v-deo.html
Firstly, I want to say this is an amazing video thank you! I think It is amazing that they are able and willing to offer such quality and application at this price, while Saitek/Logitech was offering "toys" with substandard potentiometers and materials. In order to have an equivalent logitech/saitek setup you would need: 2 throttle quadrants, 1 flight switch panel, and1 multi-panel for a grand total of $368. Granted some of their panels have digital readout it is difficult to factor in how that affects the price. Nevertheless, I still think Honeycomb Aeronautical deserves a round of applause.
God bless you sir. I just got mine today and was excited then disappointed when it didn't work. Now I know what to do. Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much.
Amazing tutorial!! Thank you very much for this! However, I thought I would give you a tip I discovered while watching this. You don't need to use the throttle CUT in order to get the reversers back in. Open reversers when you need them, push the switches back to normal operation, then simply move the respective throttle forward in the slightest the the buckets will close in the sim.
I was aware of that but you have to 1. Flip your reverser levers off 2: push throttles toward then back. Versus with the cutoffs you go reverse then pull the throttles all the way back to stop. As a pilot pulling back on throttles is more natural then the flip/jiggle required above. After you pull back through the detent then you can reset your reverser levers at your leisure.
Excellent tutorial! I just got my Honeycomb Throttle Quadrant yesterday and this video is exactly what I needed to watch. Hope to see more videos from your channel. Have a Happy New Year!
thank you so much for making this video, I have been struggling for weeks to set up the different types of aircraft throttle configurations and nearly gave up... frustration level too high to manage with everything else going on. You have reinvigorated my quest to master this awesome piece of kit! thank you again!
Really good guide thanks for doing this. One thing to be aware of and maybe worth adding a note in the description.... The Flaps axis can behave strangely with the auto assist for takeoff & landing being enabled it will automatically reset the flaps position and override the controller input. Its easy enough to disable from the Assist Options but looks like the controller or binding is bugged/broken when you first see it unless you're expecting it.
Thank you. This saved my sanity. I didn’t have time to figure out all this myself. I did have an issue with getting the flap lever to work but I figured it out.
Great video! After plug & play with the Alpha Yoke I was surprised to see the difference with the Bravo. But after your videos and realizing the different configuration options it became obvious why it needs some setting up. Your video made me like the configuration process!
First of all thank you for taking the time to pull together and share. I just acquired the Bravo..and the information you provided helped remove the potential frustration and enabled me to get up and running quickly. One thing I did differently after thinking about your setup; specifically going from the complex single engine to the basic single engine i.e. I kept the mixture lever in the third from the left position, and simply took out the blue prop lever from the second position...the thinking was this way if I switch from a basic to a complex single aircraft, I simply need to add the blue lever in its place. I appreciate that I may by splitting hairs here. My question is whether I am missing something...or is it simply a matter of preference. Thanks again..
@@JCrowe possibly. I have to see how it works in 2024. I think I read that bindings can be saved per aircraft which will add complexity but also versatility. It will be nice to load up an aircraft and have it automatically use the right profile.
For my single engines, I actually shift the throttle one to the right. So I'm using lever 2 3 and 4 (left to right). And I add the comercial Flaps handle on the lever 6 (far right). Just for that finer/better contorl of flaps in some aircraft.
Just got mine and this helped. Thanks. I would also add that when coming out of reverse with the jets, bring your reversers out, then a quick advance of the throttles with bring it out of reverse also. Little better than using engine cutoff.
Hi @Rmag, Great video! Also used it as a starting point to configure my Bravo. But I have another recommendation. Instead of creating single engine profiles by assigning throttle axis 1, propeller axis 1 and mixture axis 1, I recommend to assign the general throttle axis, propeller axis and mixture axis in this profile. By doing so this profile will work for a single engine but it will also work for a 2, 3 or whatever engine aircraft. You can anyway not create a specific profile for a 3 or more engine prop aircraft since you only have pairs of levers. So beside the 2 and 4 jet engine profiles I have - 1/X Engine TPM (e.g. Bonanza) - 1/X Engine TM (e.g. C172) - 1/X Engine T (e.g. Icon) - 2 Engine TPM (e.g. Baron) - 2 Engine T (e.g. DA62) Did I miss some? The first profile works as default for all props without having to change the levers. Happy virtual flying!
Thanks you very much for this video. And the reference to the "bug video" as it helped me solve it for me. On a side note, I did not keep the throttle, propeller and mixture axis 1 on the single engine GA profiles, but actually swiched the axis to the general ones (without number) this way I got a "default" profile that would almost always work ;)
Now i have a Tip for you. For Reversers in Jet Aircraft´s. Set cut this Way: Pull it back down and than pull down the Reverserswitch all so and but back up than Verfi it.
Thank you for sharing this. It is awesome and very helpful. I found, that if I select a TWIN COMPLEX setup and fly a SIMPLE SINGLE like Cessna 172, when I hit the 'fly' button, the sim CTD...crash. I never thought that a wrong profile could cause this. I reinstalled everthing, at the end the operating systems itself... Steam cloud reconfigured my throttle bravo, CTD.... I was near a meltdown...but found the issue at the end. Maybe this is helpful to someone.
(Solved) Having trouble with jet throttle "jitters" ... For anyone having issues with jet throttles jumping up and down after following rmag's config. I'm not a pilot but I think this is an issue with how Reversers and Speed Brakes are used in real life. First, try leaving Reversers "off". Your throttles should work with out jitters. However, the Speed Control may bounce if all your Throttles are not at 0. Any movement of a throttle up will also move the Speed Brake up on screen. But this may not match your hardware so you may get bounce. Likewise, don't try to reverse an engine unless it's throttle is at 0 (above the detent Cutoff). On screen, switching Reverse on will first decrease the Throttle before switching the lever. So do that first so your harware matches! Lastly, flip the Reverse OFF, before lowering the Throttle past the detent to Cutoff. As Rmag says, the screen will not show the release of the Reverse till Cutoff. BUT the order matters! Takes some getting used if you have no idea how Throttles are used in real life.
This video was so much help getting my Bravo setup for everything, I was looking on your channel to see if you have anything more specific to the TBM 930. What I am trying to do is configure my Alpha yoke for the TBM 930. I want to have the four Battery & Avionics switches and the five position starter switch bind to the generator, battery, starter, fp boost, ignition, etc. Basically the switches on the right side overhead panel. The problem I am having is the names of the functions on this plane don't match up with the commands I can find on the binding menu in game.
Just a heads up for some bloody reason (maybe the update) the off position for the parking brake provided in this tutorial, button 47 I believe, for me at least was also mapped to switch off avionics. So yeah be aware of that lol.
Great tutorial helped me out huge to get reversers going. For some reason If I put all for eng throttles in reverse axis it does the opposite of what is needed. My reversers worked great but after ils landing when I pull them the throttles go half up.. bug maybe?
No need for three different 'GA' setups if you want to save time - simply remove the handles for the ones that aren't relevant - saves messing creating two unnecessary configurations. You really just need 3: Airliner 4 engine, Airliner 2 engine, and GA. The mixture & throttle don't *have* to be right next to each other in the simplest setup - they can quite comfortably remain in positions 1 & 5, and just remove the other 4 levers or put them right down past the detent).
There is still some variation in GA... for instance I have a dedicated setup for the Mooney M20R because it has speedbrakes. Likewise some STOL planes use flap levers, possibly even infinitely adjustable. Once A2A gets around to porting some of their warbirds it's gonna get real interesting... I think there is use for all 6 axes for their P-47, the usual 3, cowl flaps, supercharger, and I think it has speedbrakes too.
Like everyone has said, fantastic tutorial. Question though, now that we’re all reeling from MSFS update 5, as it relates to complex single setup, I can’t seem to bind the Decrease Mixture 1 and the Toggle Feather Switch 1. Any feedback there?
I did everything you showed on the video, but every time I change an input on the throttles or props or mixture, the reverse axis disappears, and also I have a dead zone on the levers, they only work 1/2 inch from the top, and 1/2 from the bottom, what to do?....
Brilliant! I realize this video is a few years old but I hope you still review the comments. If so: Do you have a video or recommendation on how to adjust the trim wheel sensitivity for a single engine (ie Cessna 152) while using the throttle quadrant? Thank you for your very detailed instructional videos. Top notch!
Thank you for the compliments. I have not found any way to adjust the sensitivity for the trim. The only sensitivity adjustments I have found are for the flight controls.
Very nice job! Tons of information! I still don't know how to configure the toggle switches. One last thing, can I just start out by making a 2 engine jet setup, in particular the 787 Dreamliner.
I have an updated version of this video for MSFS 2024 at ua-cam.com/video/NS9SKr3Wqno/v-deo.htmlsi=qBKZixYEHfB_cwWR

Why are all gear Lever position up before binding. Shouldn't they be on down position?

Hi @Rmag,
Great video! Also used it as a starting point to configure my Bravo. But I have another recommendation. Instead of creating single engine profiles by assigning throttle axis 1, propeller axis 1 and mixture axis 1, I recommend to assign the general throttle axis, propeller axis and mixture axis in this profile. By doing so this profile will work for a single engine but it will also work for a 2, 3 or whatever engine aircraft. You can anyway not create a specific profile for a 3 or more engine prop aircraft since you only have pairs of levers.
So beside the 2 and 4 jet engine profiles I have
- 1/X Engine TPM (e.g. Bonanza)
- 1/X Engine TM (e.g. C172)
- 1/X Engine T (e.g. Icon)
- 2 Engine TPM (e.g. Baron)
- 2 Engine T (e.g. DA62)
Did I miss some? The first profile works as default for all props without having to change the levers.
Happy virtual flying!
As a beginner to MSFS this is brilliant Finally a tutorial that is in laments terms thankyou Rmag now for delivery of my Gear
Thank you for an excellent walk through of setting up all the throttle configurations.
Just got a honeycomb for Christmas and needed this to set it up thanks!
Merry Christmas!
@@RMAG merry Christmas
Please make an updated video for MSFS 2024! I used this video for 2020 and it was a fantastic setup. Thanks!
I have an updated version of this video for MSFS 2024 at ua-cam.com/video/NS9SKr3Wqno/v-deo.htmlsi=qBKZixYEHfB_cwWR
Awesome, thank you!
Hello....I am really hoping you do another tutorial on binding with the MSFS2024, This tutorial really helped me when I set up for 2020.

@@RMAG Outstandning. Thank you very much
Thank you so much for taking the time to upload this. I really appreciate the simplicity and step by step approach.
Thanks you very much for this video. And the reference to the "bug video" as it helped me solve it for me.
On a side note, I did not keep the throttle, propeller and mixture axis 1 on the single engine GA profiles, but actually swiched the axis to the general ones (without number) this way I got a "default" profile that would almost always work ;)
Good thinking.
Thanks so much for making and posting this video. Very, Very helpful. Previously, I was losing my mind.
Thanks for this. Got it for Christmas and keen to get it set up properly.
Good idea on using those extra toggle switches when you already have the Alpha Yoke!
Thanks a million for your videos. They greatly expedited setup. Who know where I would be without these tutorials? Very well done.
Absolutely amazing tutorial.. even I could follow it without issue! Thank you again good sir!!
Thanks for putting this together. I was dreading setup on my soon to arrive Bravo!
You've set me up for success, thank you for such an educational video!
Thank you so much for this video. Finally someone explaining how to program this so I understand it. Thank you again!
Thank you very much, I was looking for this tutorial 😅. You made it I’m happy…thank you alot
Big Thanks...I am about setup my controls today fresh in the mail.
Excellent video my throttle arrives tomorrow this will help a lot.
Awesome! Where did you order from?
@@JohnJonesRocketCity I'm in Australia and I Pre-Ordered from a company here called the Gamesmen
Thank you so much for posting this! Straight to the point with the right info... New Sub!
You are the real MVP.
Brilliant, sir! Thank you AGAIN...your videos have saved all of us so much time...
Bravo on the explanation of the Bravo Throttle Quadrant. Well done
Thank you for this video. Made set up very simple for my new Bravo Throttle.
Thank you for this - very useful and informative, as was the Mixture 2 one
Thank you Captain, for the detail explanation …. At last I’m going to fly ✈️
Brilliant, brilliant man! Thanks for teaching me Master.
Great helpful Vid, clear and easy to understand.. Thankyou very much.
great and very clear. my only problem is throttle decrease, Toggle feather, and decrease mixsture don't highlite in white like yours does
Thank you so much! Happy flying
Now i have a Tip for you. For Reversers in Jet Aircraft´s. Set cut this Way: Pull it back down and than pull down the Reverserswitch all so and but back up than Verfi it.
Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to do this!
Thank you for sharing this. It is awesome and very helpful.
I found, that if I select a TWIN COMPLEX setup and fly a SIMPLE SINGLE like Cessna 172, when I hit the 'fly' button, the sim CTD...crash. I never thought that a wrong profile could cause this. I reinstalled everthing, at the end the operating systems itself... Steam cloud reconfigured my throttle bravo, CTD.... I was near a meltdown...but found the issue at the end. Maybe this is helpful to someone.
(Solved) Having trouble with jet throttle "jitters" ...
For anyone having issues with jet throttles jumping up and down after following rmag's config. I'm not a pilot but I think this is an issue with how Reversers and Speed Brakes are used in real life. First, try leaving Reversers "off". Your throttles should work with out jitters. However, the Speed Control may bounce if all your Throttles are not at 0. Any movement of a throttle up will also move the Speed Brake up on screen. But this may not match your hardware so you may get bounce.
Likewise, don't try to reverse an engine unless it's throttle is at 0 (above the detent Cutoff). On screen, switching Reverse on will first decrease the Throttle before switching the lever. So do that first so your harware matches! Lastly, flip the Reverse OFF, before lowering the Throttle past the detent to Cutoff. As Rmag says, the screen will not show the release of the Reverse till Cutoff. BUT the order matters! Takes some getting used if you have no idea how Throttles are used in real life.
Great video. Well presented and completely necessary to set up the Bravo throttle. Thank you sir!
WOW you made that so easy to understand. THANK YOU!
Love the video...Your calm voice...Thank you very much
This video was so much help getting my Bravo setup for everything, I was looking on your channel to see if you have anything more specific to the TBM 930. What I am trying to do is configure my Alpha yoke for the TBM 930. I want to have the four Battery & Avionics switches and the five position starter switch bind to the generator, battery, starter, fp boost, ignition, etc. Basically the switches on the right side overhead panel. The problem I am having is the names of the functions on this plane don't match up with the commands I can find on the binding menu in game.
Thank you this was helpful for the second time!
Just set mine up. That you for making this video. A huge help.
Great , many thanks and to lucky on the reverser info.
Just a heads up for some bloody reason (maybe the update) the off position for the parking brake provided in this tutorial, button 47 I believe, for me at least was also mapped to switch off avionics. So yeah be aware of that lol.
Awesome info and excellent presentation! Thank you so much!
Absolutely awesome video. Wish I could give it 100 thumbs up!
THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOO HELPFUL!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
May I join the choir ? THANK YOU very much for this extremely helpful tutorial!
thank you sooo much for making this video, really helped me out:)
Thanks for your videos there great but my control buttons do not highlight when turned on can you please help I have looked everywhere for a fix.
After update 5 the controller buttons don’t highlight but they should still bind. Probably a bug they need to fix now…
Great tutorial helped me out huge to get reversers going. For some reason If I put all for eng throttles in reverse axis it does the opposite of what is needed. My reversers worked great but after ils landing when I pull them the throttles go half up.. bug maybe?
Thank you so much, this fixed my problem!!
No need for three different 'GA' setups if you want to save time - simply remove the handles for the ones that aren't relevant - saves messing creating two unnecessary configurations. You really just need 3: Airliner 4 engine, Airliner 2 engine, and GA. The mixture & throttle don't *have* to be right next to each other in the simplest setup - they can quite comfortably remain in positions 1 & 5, and just remove the other 4 levers or put them right down past the detent).
True, but it doesn’t look right. Aesthetics are everything :)
There is still some variation in GA... for instance I have a dedicated setup for the Mooney M20R because it has speedbrakes.
Likewise some STOL planes use flap levers, possibly even infinitely adjustable.
Once A2A gets around to porting some of their warbirds it's gonna get real interesting... I think there is use for all 6 axes for their P-47, the usual 3, cowl flaps, supercharger, and I think it has speedbrakes too.
Like everyone has said, fantastic tutorial. Question though, now that we’re all reeling from MSFS update 5, as it relates to complex single setup, I can’t seem to bind the Decrease Mixture 1 and the Toggle Feather Switch 1. Any feedback there?
Same here. The detent buttons all stopped working after update 5.
I did everything you showed on the video, but every time I change an input on the throttles or props or mixture, the reverse axis disappears, and also I have a dead zone on the levers, they only work 1/2 inch from the top, and 1/2 from the bottom, what to do?....
Awesome man. Thank you!
Brilliant! I realize this video is a few years old but I hope you still review the comments. If so: Do you have a video or recommendation on how to adjust the trim wheel sensitivity for a single engine (ie Cessna 152) while using the throttle quadrant? Thank you for your very detailed instructional videos. Top notch!
Thank you for the compliments. I have not found any way to adjust the sensitivity for the trim. The only sensitivity adjustments I have found are for the flight controls.
Thanks heaps Rmag, great video!
Very nice job! Tons of information! I still don't know how to configure the toggle switches. One last thing, can I just start out by making a 2 engine jet setup, in particular the 787 Dreamliner.
Thank you for this video. How do you get to the Pre-Set manager tool @2:18 ?
