With full Xbox and PC compatibility, it integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Flight Simulator and other major titles.
What Sets the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls XPC Apart?
-
Smooth and Accurate Hall Effect Sensors – Unlike traditional potentiometers, Hall Effect sensors provide longevity and reliability by eliminating physical wear. The result is consistent control input over time, free from degradation or calibration drift.
-
Comprehensive Switch Panel for Realistic Workflow – The built-in switch panel eliminates the need for extra hardware, featuring controls for master, alternator, avionics, and lights, plus a five-position ignition switch for proper startup sequences.
-
Ergonomic and Fully-Equipped Handles – The left handle features an 8-way hat switch and two-way rocker switches, while the right includes additional toggles and buttons. This ensures easy camera control, trim adjustment, and in-flight commands without lifting a hand off the yoke.
-
True Multi-Platform Support – Many yokes are PC-exclusive, but this one works with Xbox Series X|S as well, making it a rare option for console sim enthusiasts. It’s automatically recognized in Microsoft Flight Simulator, reducing setup time.
