Great review Mark. Clear and consise descriptions, nice camera work. Ordered the Honeycomb Alpha. Now I only hope it arrives on the 19th Aug like predicted.

You are way underrated!

The best review I've seen so far of this product, thanks for posting. I hope the issues will be sorted by the time FS2020 arrives in one weeks time from now.

Good afternoon SimHanger, After viewing your initial vid on this product I prerecorded myself one of these units. I have been awaiting your unboxing\setup/testing of the unit. Outstanding review. Now I can wait for mine to arrive. Thanks for taking the time to create this vid. Looking forward to your next commentary of this product (possible during a full fight using the Alpha yoke) . Once again thank you. Flight Straight and level.

i have just got it today, thank you for video! The difference between honeycomb one and saitek yoke is like night and day. The rubbing sound when pushing in and out is actually the same as in the real Cessna C172. I can't wait to set it up (my table is too thick) and start flying with it!

Literally sitting in my garage, waiting for delivery. Wanted to watch a review to stave off premature buyer's remorse. Thank you, kind sir, for the relief.

Excellent video, looks like a great yoke.

Thank you for the review and recommendation!

You and one other are the only trust for Reviews and Instruction and other relevant information

Great review as usual

Very good review. Just got it for the upcoming FS2020 (a week to release from this writing). Hopefully the company will add an FS2020 config driver. Very good video. I like the yoke too.

So wholesome!😀

I tried it for about 5 minutes at my local pilot shop in xplane. I was very put off by the significant difference in feel between roll and pitch. Range of motion in pitch is far lower, but less relevant. The resolution of the yoke is great, but when an aircraft is in trim and you're landing there is no resistance. My CH might not have the range or resolution for precise handing, but the feel is far more stable and natural. CH feel with honeycomb features and we'll have a winner

I received my Honeycomb yoke on the 15th October 2019, after a two month wait, and I have to say it was well worth the wait. The yoke is very well put together, and the mounting clamps ensure they yoke doesn’t move. I only fly Boeing jets in my FSX, and the yoke has a nice heavy jet feel about it. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

I love it. It’s just waiting until august 18th

A review of the newly released Honeycomb yoke. A look at what you get, mounting options and how to configure the yoke for your flight simulator (P3D Xplane FSX FSX:SE). What do you think of this yoke? One point I forgot to mention in the video is that the Saitek throttle quadrant....if purchased with the yoke as a set ...then it comes with a PS2 connection. There is no PS2 connection on the Honeycomb yoke. If you purchased the Saitek throttle quadrant separately then this was sold with a USB connector so you could still use it, but there are no spare connectors on the Honeycomb yoke so you will have to plug it into a spare USB port on the PC or a hub. The Yokeinput program has been updated and now includes an English set of instructions.

Thank you. If only I had mine! Ordered 10 July, getting a little fed up now. One thing for those who have Satek yoke & throttles to note is that the in order to use the Honeycombe yorke with the Satek throttles the old yoke has to be placed somewhere because the throttles do not have a PS2 plug has first thought so the connection with the Satek yoke must be maintained. Lets hope Honeycombe get their throttles out quicker.

Cheers Mark from Mark in San Francisco California! I’m glad I found yer channel. Pip pip Cheerio Mate from across the pond.

Great Video. One of my questions was if there was any feedback. Glad to hear there is. I go to a sim center on occasion and they have a very expensive yoke with feedback and that is a feature hoped to be able to get at home. I have Xplane 11 which I got with the Saitek / Logitec yoke, throttle quadrant and pedals. I am going to upgrade to honeycomb soon. Thanks! I like the look of the Honeycomb quadrant as well, I want to be able to start the King Air engines one at a time, as you would in real life.

A review I didn’t want to end. Great review, others should take notes from you sir. Thanks but one question as I am new into flying sims... besides the yoke are other things like a quadrant or rudder needed to fly or is yoke enough to configure for all your needs?

great, i have one and didnt know the back wheel screw down thang.

Did you just say 5 year warranty ! Holy Crap ! Getting one in 2020 . Great review . thanks

Thanks very much Mark for your informative and professionnal video, once again. I'm waiting patiently for mys Alpha Yoke, it'll arrive when it arrives : during the wait I fly real airplanes. Do you have any idea if it's possible to use the mags/start switch with a twin engine aircraft ? Thanks again for what you're doing for the community

Hi Mark, great video very professionally presented and polished, great work. I had a play with this and their throttle at Cosford and was very impressed. I already have an ACE B737 yoke which is excellent but I will be getting the throttle quadrant when it arrives for sure.

this would be a great yoke for the new P38 in IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Bodenplatte

Hello, thanks for the great review. I'm currently a student pilot with my checkride on June 8th and am anxiously awaiting for this sim to come out. Do you have a recommended throttle quadrant/rudder pedal set to run alongside this yoke?

SimHanger Flight Simulation How far back does the clamps extend below the desk?

I hope you will be doing a tutorial on the very basics on how to set up and map buttons on the Alpha XPC and Bravo for use on Xbox.

can you use the honeycomb throttle quadrant for flight simulator x 2006year?

can i start 2 engines on the yoke? if so how? thanks.

Great review! Do we know if it's compatible with the Logitech/Saitek panels?

Hi Mark, just found you and subscribed! Thanks for this report. I received my yoke last week. Like you very impressed. I know you’ve mentioned the calibration settings below. Can I ask you to clarify what settings you are using for both axis, please? I am finding with my current setup turning requires a considerable turn of the yoke compared to the real flying I have done in the past. Elevators probably need more pressure than needed. Do you use FSUIPC for calibration at all? Best, Keith.

Is the sticky pad to secure the yoke to the table reusable? Does it leave a residue? If I were to remove it often would it loosen over time? Thanks for your review, it is most helpful.

so the ga profile attached to a prop plane in manage drop down list still needs to have functions edited, right?

Creat video! I received the fantastic yoke a few days ago, and the first thing is that I am delighted! but I have noticed the picth very hard. My question is, is this how it is in real life? or is there any way to make it softer? Thank you very much in advance! excuse my english

Nice review👍👍.Right now i want to buy a yoke but i can't decide between Logitech saitek and honeycomb.I was thinking to add a bit more money to buy honeycomb because it seems worth the money.

Does anyone know if the honeycomb will mount on a playseat airforce chair? Even honeycomb couldn’t answer me.

i'm curious about dimensions of unit for my desk space? is there a throttle or do i use joystick throttle? thanks so much for such a clear vid,

The English Manual is now available (Should I say German with English below) - just re-download & install.

I have had the new yoke for a few days and it works well for x-plane11 planes that are included in x-plane. I have used it with the Cessna 172, The Beechcraft Baron, and the Cirrus FS. But the Mooney I purchased as an add on plane is a different matter. The yoke buttons all work. The ignition switch works. But none of the other switches work. I seem to be able to use other functions from the x-plane option menu, but none of the lights, and master and avionic switches work. Of course, Mooney would have to be my favorite plane. I also have FSX on steam and downloaded the configuration file but nothing at all works and like you said, the instructions are not very useful. I can't see how to get FSX to even see the configuration file. It is really hard not having throttle controls but have ordered one from Logitech which hasn't come yet. Waiting eagerly for the Throttle from Honeycomb. Do you have any advice on getting the switches to work for an add-on Mooney from X-Aviation? Thanks

i wonder if you c ould give me and others the selections for starter switches for xp. thanks.

Hi Mark. Will this work with a Mac? Thanks

Does the yoke and throttle connect to the computer by a USB 2 port? I have a Asus Z170 A motherboard with USB 2 and 2 ports.

Does the bravo thruster also have the same mounting mechanism?

I'm new to flight simulator, would this be everything you need to get started ?

Received mine today. Wow! If only I could get the yoke switches on the yoke itself going, like the hat switch etc. Isnt registering in FSX:SE

how do i set up profiles for an airplane . .x-p11.41

good morning Mark. I've just set up my Honeycomb yoke, all was working fine. Then out of the blue the hat switch and mouse stopped looking around only though inside the cockpit. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the sim, but still no joy. Hope you can help. Cheers Ron.

this or the logitech saitek fligth yoke system with throttle ???

Can’t find one in the uk anywhere

you say its for prepare and fsx what about xp11

What about throttle?

This or the Logitech Yoke?

For when on XBOX?

The backlight makes the yoke look like a toy.

The lag between you turning the yoke and the plane turning looks awful??

I dont fly cessnas and this yolk seems to be geared towards SMALL PLANES. $250 is WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for a yoke that is filled with dead zones. You would think that HONEYCOMB would be fixing this issue instead of having to go into the product to void the warranty and start splicing wires to fix the DEAD ZONES! Could also have FORCE FEEL. HELLO! 9 out of 10? Really? I would say 6

Another yoke with lots of deadzones !!!?

Not much of a review if you only have one other yoke to compare it to.

NO YAW, nightmare!. Dont buy
