Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Template
Carenado FA50 EX v1.1
Import and activate via the Honeycomb Configurator v2.0.0.1
I've had the best success with 2.0.0.1 templates by starting X-Plane 11 and immediately reloading the bindings for all Honeycomb devices via the X-Plane 11 menu (e.g. Plugins > Honeycomb > BFC_Throttle > Reload Bindings).

Obvious note: The blue cells (XP 11) are my own X-Plane 11 bindings. The dark gray cells are Honeycomb configurator bindings.
- Lights on the throttle quadrant will NOT illuminate without power to the aircraft
-
Detent #2 = Calculates Vref (based only on weight) and assigns this speed to the IAS bug
- Wasn't able to find datarefs that hold the V speeds
- Reversers #1 and #3 are X-FEED valves (reverser ON = X-FEED ON)
-
Reverser #2 is Thrust Reverse toggle for center engine (throttle #2 axis controls thrust reverse amount)
- From what I understand, most (all?) trijet outer engines do not offer thrust reverse
- You can get all 3x engines to reverse thrust via commands/datarefs
-
Engine Start Procedure (Engine Stop is identical, albeit more sensitive):
- Throttle back/below detent
- Throttle forward, past detent a little bit
- Throttle returned to idle
- Engine shutdown can be a little flaky if you move the throttle(s) forward too far or too quickly
- Each engine's respective detent will toggle the latch, XFR PUMP and BOOSTER pump for that engine (and starter buttons)
- Door button opens cockpit door and outside door, turns on passenger entrance overhead light
- Releasing parking brake (Bravo button 1) will remove the Carenado static elements if present
- Overhead lights (button 3) toggles the center console, copilot overhead, passenger entrance and passenger reading lights
- Pilot overhead light is omitted from Switch #3 because it is tied to the (bright) main cabin overhead lights
- The red Throttle #1 TO/GA button is not assigned
