The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is engineered for compatibility with popular simulator platforms, including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, X-Plane 11, and Prepar3D. While PC users can enjoy full functionality, Xbox users must note that some features, such as the annunciator lights, won't work when connected via the XPC Hub. This makes it an excellent choice for PC-based setups but requires consideration for console users.
When it comes to hardware, the Bravo pairs seamlessly with other Honeycomb products, like the Alpha Flight Controls, and integrates with Saitek peripherals through its mounting points. These features ensure a cohesive and expandable setup. However, it’s not compatible with older FSX versions unless you're running the older Config Tool, so check your software version before diving in.
