Although the additional trim switches are available on the left console as a back up, the pitch trimming occurs is with most other aircraft using a hat switch on the control stick. You can assign any switch you like to the pitch trim axis using standard MSFS control setup. The trim is continuous as long as you hold the switch. The pitch trim indicator will confirm this. Don’t be confused by the alternate trim switches on the left console.
First, your vids on the Bronco have been extremely helpful. Thank you. I have successfully done what you described here on an even simpler, one Power Lever throttle (TWCS) and it works fine actuating both simulated levers as if ganged (which is not the optimum, I realize.) But, If I may, I would like to ask about an additional OV-!0 control issue: Elevator Trim. I am used to trimming using an axis with a continuously variable response, and, especially in VFR, I am always slightly trimming as speed and AoA warrants. But the Bronco has a switch system for this that has my tiny mind totally puzzled about how the trim system works in flight and proper practice. Could you shed some light on this?
Hey Russ, I’m also using the Honeycomb Bravo. Is there a way to properly set up reverse thrust using the “reverse” range of the honeycomb? As of now I can get it into max reverse but then to get it out I have to use the mouse to drag it up. Once I bring the honeycomb throttles past the reverse decent it stays in reverse mode in the sim.
Not really if you want realistic OV-10 operations. The honeycomb doesn’t have a reverse range but only has a switch you activate when below the detent in the throttle axis. It is full reverse or no reverse. You can only assign one event to that switch so you can get reverse in but not out. See if there is a toggle reverse event . But then you would have to move into reverse and the move out and back in to cancel reverse. Not very realistic. The AzurePoly method allows for modulated reverse thrust. I don’t think their model responds to that reverse thrust event. I think by default it assumes the 0% of the axis is full reverse and 100% is full military thrust.
@@rbarlow yes that is how it works currently. I am ok with 0% or 100% reverse thrust since I usually go all or nothing. I was just wondering if there was a way to get it out of reverse thrust. Since when I take the throttle out of the detent it stays in reverse in the sim
@@FlightSimCFI not really. As I said there is a command TOGGLE_THROTTLE_REVERSE_THRUST you could assign to the switch at the end of the throttle axis. each time you select it thust is toggled. So you could do this. As you pass into the reverse detent you then have to move the throttle forward to add reverse thrust. The next time you pull back to the detent switch it will toggle reverse off. Not very realistic but it may work. Why do you dislike the way they set it up to work perfectly?
@@rbarlow I like the idle detent of the honeycomb just as a tactile way to know the throttle is at idle. I have it set up now the same way in your video and it feels good coming in and out of reverse but there is a little guess work on short final to know if my throttle is in idle since I can’t feel a physical detent
@@FlightSimCFI There is a trick in the controls that's not very intuitive if you are stuck in a "reverse" mode. Basically, assign the function "reduce throttle" which is a keypress, and will continually be pressed when in that reverse "switch." Then to pop it back out, assign the same control (that "switch range" on the Bravo) to "throttle idle." Save it. THEN very importantly, go back to the "throttle idle" (or it might be throttle cut) and change the command option to "on release" from "on press." That way when the switch is "pressed" it activates reducing the throttle continuously. Then when you move it back to the normal idle detent (aka "on release") the throttles will cut back to idle. It's not a very pretty way to utlize the honeycomb "lever as a button" portion of the range, but it does work for me. :)

Great video Russ! Glad you did this. AZP sure did an amazing job of solving a challenging problem.
Russ thanks for this.

Cool 👍
How do you set up the Gun Keybind though? got it off the website and i don't wanna keep clicking manually
How about the reverse thrust? Will you do that too ?
