FOXTROT TAKEOFF KIT Controls setup missing control assignments?

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 21:21:32 +0000

I recently received my new Foxtrot Stick and Control Box.

I am trying to assign controls to the buttons and stuff. For the Throttle Box, the Left engine on switch, button 52, is seen by MSFS24. The Off button is not seen when I try to SEARCH BY INPUT. Also, what is the button number for the OFF position?

Same with the Right engine switch. The On button, number 53 is seen, but the OFF switch is not. Also, what is the button number for the OFF position?

The Parking Brake button (you pull it) is also not seen by MSFS. Also, what is the button number for the pull?

Any help here?

And as an aside...Anyone using Overkill Simulations Hanger Control? The stick and control box is not seen as a device. Help please.

thanks,

HoneyComb Bravo issue with throttle Axis

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 13:33:18 +0000

Hello

I have a HC Bravo, with the 2 Engines commercial Jet setup, using the two axes in the middle for the engine but I am having a problem that around the middle, if I put the two knobs at the same level, I have a different output in game (i.e. Engine 1 = 50%, Engine 2 = 52%). This becomes very annoying when using i.e. planes with detents such as the Airbus, because at the same level, one engine enters in the detent while the other not, giving the error in game "LVR ASY"

Is a hardware issue or can be solved with a calibration and in case the latter, how do I calibrate the HC Bravo?

Pitch & yaw slow on msfs24 using Honeycomb Echo Controller b

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 08:54:39 +0000

Hi, i am having issues with pitch & yaw being slow to move when on msfs24 using Honeycomb Echo Controller. I use my mouse or joystick & it moves as is should. But when I use the echo it's slow to move. I have loaded their controller packages but to no effect.

Anyone had this issue?

Is this correct? Does it just not include it like the normal one does?

Honeycomb Echo Flight Controller — direct connection to macOS / USB-C dongle?

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 12:22:09 +0000

Hi everyone,

I just got the Honeycomb Echo Flight Controller and I’m trying to use it with my MacBook.

The problem is that the included wireless dongle is USB-A, while my Mac only has USB-C ports.

Has anyone managed to connect the Echo directly to macOS over Bluetooth, without using the dongle?

Or does Honeycomb make a USB-C version of the wireless dongle?

I know I can just use a USB-A to USB-C adapter, but I’d prefer to avoid another adapter if there’s a cleaner option.

Thanks!

New to the Honeycomb Echo Flight Controller: Tips for Use in MSFS2024 With Specific Aircraft

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 22:04:10 +0000

Hello,

I am new to Honeycomb products, and grabbed an Echo Flight Controller due to its compact size and wireless capabilities (first such device I'd ever seen). I would like to use it with four specific aircraft in MSFS2024, and want some tips on setting it up with them. I wish to use it with:

PMDG B737-800
PMDG B77W
FlyByWire A320NX
FlyByWire A380NX

I see the downloads for profiles provided by Honeycomb (A320 Neo, B737, and quad-engine), but I know that those are merely starting points. I sent them a support request on this topic, and they referred me to the forums here at Aerosoft. If it helps, I updated my firmware on both the controller and the dongle to the X-Input (1.21 controller, 1.20 dongle) versions, thinking that having firmware at the very latest versions would be the best starting point. Any advice you could provide would be extremely helpful, as I have very limited space for a setup, hence my desire for a wireless controller. Thanks!

Alpha Lite Dimensions (excluding Yoke and Shaft)

Fri, 22 May 2026 17:52:28 +0000

I am thinking of buying the Alpha Lite for a desktop sim setup. Size is therefore a key consideration. What are the dimensions of the Alpha Lite "box" not counting the yoke and shaft?

Thanks.

Bravo Lite - Cannot assign reversers, flaps axis not working, trim not working

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:48:06 +0000

I just bought a new Bravo Lite because my regular Bravo controller had started doing weird things. Now I find that despite my following all the tutorials about how to assign the flaps axis and the reversers, they don't work, nor do the trim buttons. I have tried removing the assignments and redoing them countless times, but I still have the same problem.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

TIA

Mike

Update: I discovered that the Fenix required the configuration of the flaps, so that works now. The trim is still not working though

Honeycomb Echo Assign Button to Mouse Click

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 01:34:56 +0000

Hello,

I have been searching all over but have not found the information I'm looking for. How do I assign a button to act as a mouse click on the Honeycomb Echo controller. This is needed in order to interact with touchscreens inside the plane. For the life of me I cannot find a corresponding profile assignment in MSFS 2020.

Thanks,
Another

Cannot find MSFS2024 Community Folder

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 23:38:08 +0000

Just purchased the Honeycomb Bravo and I'm trying to install the driver for the lights. Keep getting the error that it cannot find my community folder.

So where is the Bravo Lite Throttle MSFS 2024 Profiles?????

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 19:23:16 +0000

I just updated MSFS 2024 this morning to their most current Beta Edition. And I was sort of hoping to see the program supporting the Bravo Lite. But it didn't really surprise me that they were not supported at all. Whose fault is this? Is it Microsoft or is it Honeycomb? Most people have pointed the finger at Honeycomb. But it could very well be that Microsoft plays a part in this also. Needless to say I'm sure I am not the only Flight Simmer who was disappointed this afternoon!!!

Honeycomb Alpha does not reflect correct pitch, unable to calibrate

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 01:04:52 +0000

I have verified that this is occurring in MSFS2020/2024 and in any aircraft I fly. When I try to calibrate, it does not pitch all the way back like when I pitch forward. Started happening about a week ago. Changed flight stick and pitching back works fine in all aircraft.

Honeycomb Foxtrot Stick - Clicking sound query

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 08:27:26 +0000

Hi, I have just received a Honeycomb Foxtrot Stick and installed the FS2024 profile. It's early days, but thus far I am very happy with it. The one thing I have found annoying though, is that it has a dull click when it passes through the axis centre position.

Has anyone else experienced this happening? Any comments appreciated...

Cheers, Alan

Bravo Throttle Quadrant issue

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:21:44 +0000

Hello! I'm having an issue with MSFS 2024. When the Bravo is connected, the engine keeps starting and shutting down. I've tried different usb cables and different slots but I still have this issue. Sometimes it goes away. Also when the quadrant is plugged in, it causes issues with other games like a key is being held down. Any ideas?

Honeycomb Bravo lights Issue

Cannot assign gear up and gear down to a mechanical switch: any ideas?

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 17:09:10 +0000

I am using the Echo Aviation Controller and mapping it for the L-39. Control assignments are pretty easy but the one exception is that only "digital" inputs are allowed under "Gears" Up/Down and I cannot bind the purpose-built mechanical gear switch in the controller, it seems to recognise the button numbers for Up/Down but they don't "stick". I can use another, non mechanical button but it's not ideal. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

[Solved] Honeycomb Charlie Rudder Pedals mount

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:55:54 +0000

Greetings all!

After a two-year pre-order delay, I finally received my Charlie rudder Pedals and they are a great product. Unfortunately, the instructions and video reviews only mention placing the rudder pedals on a flat surface or carpet, it doesn't mention any instructions about mounting it on a flight deck rig which is my case. The picture I have included below is from the bottom of the Charlie Rudder Pedals and it does seem to include a screw mounting hole. Could anyone confirm this is the case? If so, would anyone know what size of screw it is for? I have tried with M5 (doesn't fit - too-thin), M6 (doesn't fit - too-thick).

Without some sort of assembly the rudder is sliding on the flight-deck surface when force is applied, and I need to attach it with screws to the surface.

[Solution] : m6 was the size of it, it just needed the torque to be applied with a tool as it was too snug to be applied by hand under uncomfortable hand position in the deck floor.

TIA!

Honeywell Bravo Driver Installer "Missing UserCFG.opt" Issue

Wed, 28 May 2025 20:20:06 +0000

Hello, I've been hunting down a fix for this issue for a few days and this seems like the place to get some help!

I am trying to install the drivers for the Honeywell Bravo unit to get the LED's functional, and running into an issue I've seen reproduced online a few times. The installer is looking in folders that do not exist for my version of MSFS2024 (Purchased through the Xbox / Windows games store) for the UserCfg.Opt file. In scouring the web, I found another user on this forum who had similar challenges and was given a modified installer for the drivers.

My UserCfg.opt folder is located in: C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

The installer attempts (and fails) to find it in a similar "Microsoft.Limitless" directory, or in \Roaming\\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\". Again both directories that simply do not exist.

If I could get some assistance with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Honeycomb bravo light for Steam Linux version (or any wine version)

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 14:30:59 +0000

Hello there, my personal PC is 100% Linux and I use steam to fly MSFS. Just got the alpha and bravo kit and commands are working once you explain to wine that your bravo HC is an hid device and not an xbox controller (there are a few keys to change in the reigistry and the bravo is recognized as such with no further issue). Howevere I am not able to make the lights work with the bridge program. Is there a way to make them work in this configuration? I have tried better bravo lights but no success neither.

For the AFC_Bridge program, can you explain which environment it expects? (.net or other libraries that I could install with winetricks?)

Left-leaning tendency in cruise with Honeycomb Alpha Yoke when using MSFS 2024

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 20:04:06 +0000

Hi there, does anybody out there know how to correct left-leaning tendency with the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and MSFS 2024? I hear that I should be able to fly at cruise "hands off" for at least 10 seconds. Currently, with the Yoke in center position, I move left from 360 degrees, 359, 358 etc.... and the only way I can keep the yoke even is by pressing on the left side of the yoke very slightly with my left ring-finger or pinky and holding it there.

I have heard that this is not a P-factor issue at cruise and it should fly straight. I have tried to fix the problem by going under "game controllers" in Windows and moving the center circle slightly to the right but that does not work. There also doesn't appear to be a way in MSFS 2024 to change this under "Settings" and "Controls" as none of the options under "Fine tune your input's curve" such as sensitivity, neutral, dead zone and extremely dead zone apply.

Please advise if possible.

Thx!
