FOXTROT TAKEOFF KIT Controls setup missing control assignments?

Featured Replies

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,

I am looking to purchase this Foxtrot Takeoff Kit, however I have one question regarding the Flap Lever:

Does it have detents for the various degrees of flap (1-2-5, etc.), or is it a sliding lever that moves from zero to full flaps with no detents at all? I have yet to see this demonstrated in any videos or reviews to date.

Best regards,

Mark

Thank you, but the question was posted on Honeycomb's Facebook page and answered. The flap lever does not have progressive detents; it is a sliding lever only.

Best regards,

Mark

I believe that the manufacturer thought you were referring to the two throttle sliders, which do have a single detent at their lowest point for thrust reverser operation.

Here is the answer I received from Honeycomb (the question to them was word for word as stated, above):

It's a sliding lever with no detents in movement. I hope this information is of use."

In any case, whether it is free of any detents or has only the one detent, it does not make programming this peripheral any easier for multiple aircraft types.

Thank you for the researching and follow up.

Sincerely,

Mark
