Omschrijving
The Honeycomb Sierra TPM Module brings the unmistakable feel of a single-engine general aviation cockpit to your flight simulator, complete with mechanical controls that make every engine adjustment a satisfying little ritual. Its all-metal construction and lockable throttle vernier give your fingertips something substantial to work with, while integrated trim, flap, landing gear, and parking brake controls keep essential aircraft functions within easy reach. Designed for PC and Mac flight simulation, the Sierra connects through USB and includes a dual mounting solution. Because managing a piston engine deserves more than dragging three virtual sliders around a screen.
What Sets the Honeycomb Sierra TPM Module apart?
-
All-Metal Construction with a Lockable Throttle Vernier The Honeycomb Sierra TPM Module features an all-metal construction and a lockable metal throttle vernier, creating a substantial physical interface for managing engine power. Unlike conventional sliding throttle quadrants, its vernier-style arrangement follows the control philosophy found in many single-engine general aviation aircraft. This makes it particularly appealing to pilots who spend their time flying piston-powered aircraft. The dedicated propeller and mixture knobs complete the engine management layout, keeping three essential controls together in one purpose-built unit.
-
Integrated Trim, Flaps, Landing Gear, and Parking Brake Beyond its engine controls, the Sierra incorporates a trim wheel, flap lever, landing gear lever, and parking brake control. This combination brings several frequently used aircraft functions into one compact cockpit module, reducing the need for additional switch panels or keyboard assignments. The physical trim wheel is particularly convenient during climb and approach adjustments, while the dedicated flap and landing gear controls simplify aircraft configuration changes. LED indicators associated with the landing gear lever provide additional visual information when supported by the simulator.
-
Purpose-Built Layout for Single-Engine General Aviation The Sierra TPM Module is arranged specifically around the needs of single-propeller aircraft, making it a natural fit for pilots who regularly fly general aviation aircraft. Its dedicated throttle, propeller, and mixture controls follow the familiar engine management arrangement used in many piston-powered aircraft. Rather than trying to accommodate every possible aircraft category, the Sierra concentrates on the controls most relevant to this style of flying. That specialization makes cockpit procedures more convenient for pilots who prefer smaller aircraft over commercial airliners.
-
Flexible Mounting and Straightforward USB Connectivity The Honeycomb Sierra includes a dual mounting solution, allowing pilots to incorporate the module into different desktop cockpit arrangements. Its USB-C to USB-A connection provides a direct interface with compatible PC and Mac systems, without requiring a separate connection to another flight controller. The unit pairs particularly well with Honeycomb Alpha yokes and Bravo throttle quadrants, creating a coordinated hardware arrangement. Dedicated drivers for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 further support its integration into modern desktop flight simulation setups.

The Honeycomb Sierra TPM Module connects directly to compatible Windows PCs and Mac computers using the included USB-C to USB-A cable. It operates as an independent flight simulator peripheral rather than requiring a physical connection to another controller. The Sierra pairs particularly well with Honeycomb Alpha yokes and Bravo throttle quadrants, allowing pilots to combine dedicated steering, engine management, and cockpit controls within the same simulator setup. Its single-engine layout makes it especially suitable for general aviation aircraft with separate throttle, propeller, and mixture controls.
The Sierra includes a dual mounting solution for integration into desktop cockpit arrangements alongside other Honeycomb hardware. It can also operate with separately connected rudder pedals, flight instruments, and compatible PC peripherals, provided the selected simulator supports their control assignments. The module does not communicate directly with standalone yokes or throttle units without a compatible computer handling their inputs. It is not compatible with Xbox or PlayStation consoles, including setups that use console-compatible Honeycomb hardware elsewhere in the cockpit.

The Honeycomb Sierra TPM Module supports Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 through dedicated drivers, alongside X-Plane and Prepar3D on compatible desktop systems. It connects through USB and supports both PC and Mac hardware, although simulator availability and individual control assignments depend on the operating system. Its throttle, propeller, mixture, trim, flap, and landing gear controls are particularly useful in single-engine general aviation aircraft, with LED behavior depending on software integration. Xbox and PlayStation are not supported, making the Sierra a dedicated desktop flight simulation peripheral.
