Egbert Drenth 52 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Still on their web site: "We expect both products to launch in Q1 2018 but will provide more accurate information as we get closer to a release date." @Mathijs, I guess you have have the same information as we have, or can you disclose some more?

I'm surprised the release date has been put back from Q1 2018 to Q4 2018 without any real explanation as to why. I have read there was a certain amount of redesign and a change of some components to keep the price at $199. A lot of people wrote on Fly Honeycomb Facebook page imploring them not to compromise quality to keep to that price. I hope Nicki Repenning (CEO) has taken that on board. I'm pretty sure people would not complain paying an extra $20-40 to keep the quality. The whole point of these units is to fill the gap between Saitek (cheap) and PFC (expensive) so it's important the quality is there.

We were both at the Lelystad show a couple of weeks ago and I visited the Aerosoft stand. It was very disappointing not to see the yoke connected to a sim or even have a desktop mounting. I had to ask someone to hold it down whilst I moved the elevator axis which was very stiff. And no indication of how it will be fixed to the desktop. I was at Lelystad 12 months ago when Niki Repenning showed the 3D printed version. The progress in over a year is disappointing.

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51562 Posted November 21, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted November 21, 2018 And I think I explained to you that we did not have the stick working just because of fact it was not working as it should and that it was a pre-production version exactly made to figure out these things. We now have better models that work more or less as expected. I agree that the company probably underestimated the time it takes to go from a 3d printed version to full-scale production. But having seen all steps been taken I know they have always been working hard. We have been involved with hardware for a long time and we know all the many pitfalls there are. This is by no means something we would call especially late.

Ray Proudfoot 235 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I understand it can be difficult making new hardware. It is the lack of any news from Honeycomb that is disappointing. Their Facebook page has not been updated for quite a while. And no representation by Honeycomb at either Cosford, England or Lelystad was also disappointing.

Apparently Honeycomb has huge issues getting it right. It seems to be more then a year over due. But it's out of Aerosoft's control/reach.
