Hi everyone, I have been looking at the Honeycomb products to use with FS2. Does anyone out there have experience with these please?

For Aerofly FS 2 or FS 4?

We have the Yoke and Throttle for testing and they do come with a pre-assignment for Aerofly FS 4.

Good morning Jan, I ONLY have FS2 and was concerned it may not work as I know nothing about these products, any help would be greatly appreciated. Kindest regards Michael.

Ok, in that case I now moved this thread into the Aerofly FS 2 section.

Ah OK thanks.

Hello Michael, compliments of the season to you and yours.

I bought the Honeycomb throttle quad to go with AFS4, and I am very happy with it. It is a well-made piece of kit, and has lots of functions.

I just tried it in AFS2. It is recognised there, but the AFS2 controller setups do not include everything in the AFS4 one. I use the Baron 58 in AFS4 so I setup a flight in AFS2 with the same plane. I use a Logitech yoke and pedals.

Throttles, Prop Pitch and Mixture levers all work. The GA flaps lever works. The trim wheel works but there is no Trim indicator on the AFS2 info bar. There is a nice undercarriage lever, which is actually seen as a button, and the gear moves as required but the indicator lights on the Quad don't show that.

The Autopilot button does what it should and in the cockpit view the A/P can be seen coming to life. There are function selectors for Hdg, Crs, Alt etc and if you want to adjust these, there is a knob at the left to select the function you want to change and at the right hand side there is another knob which you turn to change the setting up or down.

I have not tested every possible thing for AFS2, but I can say that within the limits of the AFS2 setup menus, the Honeycomb Quad works very well in AFS2. I keep a magnifying glass handy, to read the small print on the A/P controls. Should really get some new glasses.

You may have seen my posts wrt the Quad in AFS4 on the NZFF forum, but if not, here is a link: https://nzff.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31074

Hi Mike and compliments of the season to you too. Thanks for the info as I'm stuck with FS2 and have no intention of upgrading my PC to work with FS4!

I want to buy both the throttle quad and yoke but see no options in FS2 to bind the mag one and two switch so am at a loss as to what to do next?

Lets hope others can help?

Kindest regards, Michael.

Hi Michael, I think there is no way to manually assign them but it could be that they are assigned per default still. The full functionality for multi engine aircraft has been added for Aerofly FS 4 and that is not available for the FS 2.

Thank you Jan, well on the positive side I have saved myself over 500 euros!
