  1. Version 2.1.3.0

    832 downloads

    Hi all, Quite a while back, a created a very early version of an interface called the PMDG Honeycomb Interface found here. It only worked for the PMDG 737 and 777 and only for the Alpha Yoke. This was until the Aerosoft team created the very excellent Honeycomb software, that also included the PMDG group of aircraft after a few revisions. However, I had a few requests to continue with development and recently, PMDG have of course released their MSFS 737-800, 737-700, & 737-600 which is also not currently covered by the Aerosoft tool. (for now ) So, here is the new shiny version of my Honeycomb interface. This now covers: Honeycomb Alpha Yoke Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Works with the following platforms: FSX Prepar3D MSFS The following aircraft are catered for: FSLabs A319, A320 & A321 PMDG 737 NGX PMDG 737 NGXu PMDG 737-600 for MSFS (May work with other versions) PMDG 777 TFDi 717 NOTE: This utility requires SimConnect to work. It's included in the download. NOTE: Please remember that you IP Address may need to be amended in the included SimConnect.cfg depending on your setup. NOTE: I've created a small utility that will help you diagnose any MSFS SimConnect issues. This will come in useful if you're not sure if you have set up SimConnect correctly. You can find it here. I should point out that I'm not affiliated with PMDG, TFDi, FSLabs, Honeycomb or Aerosoft in anyway. This is a private project and due to PMDG's EULA, MUST ONLY BE USED for personal entertainment as per the EULA that I'm obligated to initially display for acceptance before you are able to use this utility. Also, thanks to Raphael Jakob from Aerosoft who helped me with the original version of this with some tips and code and thanks to @Bazza_Melb who has helped to find several bugs, suggested new features and tested for me. There's a manual included, any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments here. Thanks,
  2. Hi @Gamergotgames, If you look in the root folder of the Zibo aircraft you’ll find B738_commands.txt and B738_Datarefs.txt. All the commands are in there and you can enter them in using custom. You can also hover them in the X-Plane joystick assignment screen and it will show you the datarefs in the tooltip that appears. Hope this help,
  3. Hi @Marcelo Bartsch, Yes, no problem. Will send you them when I’m back in the house in about an hour. Cheers,
  4. Hi @Antonio Jimenez, Sorry for my late reply, I was not notified by the system. Do you still need help? Thanks,
  5. Ahh not sure how that slipped in, I've fixed that error now in the new upload. As for the HDG not engaging that is odd, that works fine on my version. I take off, engage the Autopilot, then press the HDG button and HDG appears in the AutoPilot window and the aircraft heads towards the heading bug. Maybe the last error was causing it to bomb out before it reached the HDG button code. Is it working with the new version? Cheers,
  6. Hi @TinkerNZ Thanks for the note, things keep changing this is the 2nd or 3rd profile I've had to fix now. I've fixed it and uploaded a new version. Try that and see how you go. Cheers,

    Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Template for TFDIs 717 LEDs only. Import it via the Honeycomb Configurator (you need the latest version 2.1.0) or use the local load function. Unfortunately, Aerosoft's Honeycomb configurator app isn't currently fully compatible with the TFDI717, so I've created a free interface utility which you can find here: This LED only profile used with Aerosoft's Honeycomb configuration utility, together with my utility, should provide you with a complete experience. if you need further assistance, please check out the following videos
  8. Hi @737fancar, It's odd how it's reversed for a few people. Have you tried switching them around? Get notepad open and copy the contents of what is in Gear Up and Gear Down and move them to the opposite one? Thanks.

    Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Template for TFDIs 717. Import it via the Honeycomb Configurator (you need the latest version 2.1.0) or use the local load function. if you need further assistance, please check out the following videos Unfortunately, not all buttons are mapped. This is due to TFDI not creating LVARS for rotary knobs such as ALT, VS, HDG, IAS, CRS and buttons such as NAV, PROF, SPEED etc. Sorry, my hands are tied if they're not there to use. (I do have a question outstanding with the Devs, but I'm reasonably confidant there isn't a way. If there is, I'll update it.) Basically, this means none of the top block of buttons or rotary knobs work. (Except Autopilot, this works..) HOWEVER........ I have managed to assign functions to the toggle switches, gear lever, Go Around, Reversers and flap switch (acts as a parking brake) and I've also managed to get the LEDs working. If you're using something like FSUIPC or LINDA then you can probably make a great job in combination with this profile and complete it. I've created a button overlays. This version is a @Hilversum4 design, to make it one piece and a bit more sturdy.
  10. Hi @Alexander Sternhill, I don't get the error message but mine is no longer working either. I've have approached it a different way in the profile as things seemed to have changed since I first created this. You can do as Freddy says, but I've noticed the behaviour for the Thrust Reverse Hold setting now works as expected. (It didn't at the time I created this profile.) Meaning, when you engage the reverse thrusters they leap to maximum straight away. It's down to personal preference, but I prefer to raise the reversers which sets them to idle reverse and then push the thrust levers forward to vary the amount of reverse thrust. With that in mind, I've now used toggle in the profile, which works better than just assigning it in the sim, as I have put some logic in place to stop it from toggling the wrong way. i.e. if it misses the button press, (which sometimes happens) then it won't suddenly start working backwards and disengaging them when they're supposed to be engaged and vice versa. Anyway, try the new profile and see if this works better for you. Thanks,
  11. Hi @sho69607, I'm using the toggle attached to the revere levers (but with conditions used to control the toggle so you don't end up in reverse when the reverse levers are back in the down position) When you raise the reverse levers you will see the reversers in the sim raise to reverse idle. Then pushing the throttles forwards will increase to max reverse thrust Dropping the reverse levers returns the throttles back to normal idle. I found the max hold to be troublesome when trying to use it. Cheers,
  12. @MICK777CPT, You have found a bug, thanks for calling it out. I've fixed it and uploaded a new version. Managed to get the LED working as well even though it doesn't technically have one, by detecting when the aircraft is in HDG SEL mode. Cheers,
  13. Ahh I see, sorry I wondered what you meant. You're right, the documentation back to front. Thanks for pointing this out, I have amended it to match the actual buttons. The Reversers were no longer working for me either. I'm not sure if something has changed since I first did them. However, I have now fixed them and found another way. As for the TOGA, mine is working. Do you have the flight directors (both) and auto throttle switched on? I have included you master caution fix and the thrust reverser fix in the new version. Thanks,
  14. Hi @Sluijsens, Thanks for the feedback. I think I might have messed up on version control as mine has the Master Caution working, but you're dead right, it's not on the uploaded version. Fail!!! I'll upload it with the correction in a moment. Good catch. Maybe the Anti-ice is just a preference thing. Because they were just push buttons, I picked the same direction as the Zibo flick switches are. Down for On and up for Off. Interesting point on the LNAV/VNAV thing. When you say the wrong way round, is that because even though they're on top of each other, LNAV is first and so should be first in the line up followed by VNAV? My OCD is twitching a bit about this one now Cheers,
  15. Hi @kasanobah, Good catch thanks, You're dead right. Not sure how that slipped through!!! I've just amended it so that it rolls the ILS CRS knob on the pedestal. Thanks for spotting it,
  16. Hi, I don’t have that aircraft to test with I’m afraid. The only way to find out would be to test it if you have it. Thanks,
