Beschreibung
The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite brings satisfying hands-on engine management to your flight simulator, replacing mouse clicks with proper levers, switches, and that unmistakable feeling of operating aircraft controls. Its four interchangeable throttle levers with adjustable tension accommodate both general aviation and commercial aircraft, while the integrated trim wheel, configurable flap detents, and landing gear lever keep essential cockpit functions within easy reach. Compatible with PC and Mac, the Bravo Lite connects through USB and includes a dual mounting solution. From managing engine power to configuring your aircraft for landing, it makes every flight feel more deliberate.
What Sets the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite apart?
-
Four Interchangeable Throttle Levers with Adjustable Resistance The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite features four interchangeable levers designed for different general aviation and commercial aircraft configurations. Instead of relying on one fixed throttle arrangement, pilots can adapt the physical controls to suit the aircraft they are flying. Adjustable lever tension allows users to choose a lighter or firmer movement according to their preferences. This flexibility is particularly useful for simmers who alternate between piston aircraft and airliners, where engine management procedures and cockpit layouts can differ considerably.
-
Swappable Flap Detents for Aircraft-Specific Control The Bravo Lite includes interchangeable flap detent inlays, allowing pilots to adapt the flap lever's physical positions to different aircraft configurations. This is particularly useful during approach and landing, when selecting the correct flap setting becomes an important part of managing the aircraft. Instead of relying entirely on visual indications inside the simulator, the physical detents provide recognizable positions along the lever's travel. The included inlays make the system more adaptable than a conventional throttle quadrant with a permanently fixed flap arrangement.
-
Integrated Trim Wheel, Landing Gear, and Parking Brake Beyond engine management, the Bravo Lite incorporates a low-profile, high-resolution trim wheel, a landing gear lever with an LED status indicator, and a dedicated parking brake lever. These controls bring several important aircraft functions into one convenient desktop unit. The trim wheel is especially useful for making gradual pitch adjustments during climbs and approaches, while the physical landing gear lever provides a satisfying way to manage aircraft configuration. The LED indicator adds useful visual feedback when supported by the simulator's software integration.
-
Flexible Mounting and Support for Multiple Simulators The Bravo Lite includes a dual mounting solution and connects through a USB-C to USB-A cable, making it straightforward to incorporate into existing desktop flight simulator setups. It works alongside compatible Honeycomb yokes and independently connected controls from other manufacturers. Software support includes Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 11 and 12, FSX, and Prepar3D versions 3 through 5. Downloadable aircraft profiles and dedicated LED drivers provide additional functionality for supported Microsoft Flight Simulator installations.

The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Lite connects directly to Windows 64-bit PCs and compatible Mac computers using the included USB-C to USB-A cable. It operates as an independent USB flight simulator peripheral, allowing pilots to combine it with Honeycomb Alpha yokes, Foxtrot joysticks, and other compatible flight controls. Each device connects separately to the computer and can be assigned functions through the selected simulator. The four interchangeable throttle levers accommodate different general aviation and commercial aircraft arrangements without requiring a dedicated throttle quadrant for every aircraft type.
The included dual mounting solution allows the Bravo Lite to be incorporated into desktop cockpit arrangements alongside other flight simulator hardware. It can also operate with third-party yokes, joysticks, and rudder pedals, provided the simulator recognizes the connected devices. Its swappable flap detents and adjustable throttle tension allow pilots to adapt the physical controls to their preferred aircraft. However, the Bravo Lite does not operate independently without a connected computer and is not compatible with Xbox or PlayStation consoles, including setups using other console-compatible Honeycomb products.
