1/7/2024 0 Comments Honeycomb yoke![]() By no means to lower the product, followings are just the things I dislike from a user’s standpoint - both objectively and subjectively. You may have seen other reviews about the good and bad of the Hone圜omb Alpha Yoke. It’s no surprise that none of them is perfect, but surely each one has something good to praise. ![]() I got mine in February and it is the sixth yoke I got - from the very first Saitek Yoke (2007), to the CH Eclipse Yoke (2011), Saitek Cessna Yoke (2012), VRInsight Flight Master Yoke II (2014), and the last VirtualFly Yoko Yoke (2018). Honeycomb has struggled over the last year to meet the demand for its products, but hopefully next year everything will be smoother.The Hone圜omb Alpha Yoke, I believe, is one of the hottest flightsim gears these days. There you have it, new toys for your flight simulation setup. Compatibility with products from other brands appears to be possible as well. Arguably more intriguing is Lima Flight Chair, a new swivel chair whose armrests have been designed to accommodate flight simulation peripherals such as joystick and throttle controls, which attach magnetically to the armrests. They also had a series of accessories to unveil, from minor ones such as dust covers and cramps, to usability improvements like a silicone cover for the Bravo trim wheel. The joystick will be available in Q1 2022, while the throttle is expected to come out in Q2 2022.īut this was not all from Honeycomb. The first product for this audience will be the Sigma Tau, another flight stick and throttle combination that Honeycomb claims to be highly innovative, with functions that have never been seen before. The team unveiled some new images of the product along with a telescopic table mount that will surely come in handy to set up the new hardware.Īnother announcement that came from Honeycomb’s presentation is their first foray into military flight simulation controls. Honeycomb also took the opportunity to reveal some additional details about its upcoming joystick and throttle combo, Tango Foxtrot, which is being specially designed for Xbox pilots. Alpha Flight Controls XPC will see a $20 price increase compared to the original yoke (from $279 to $299) and is expected to come out on PC, Mac and Xbox during the first quarter of 2022. Along with a new design that makes use of an expansive “honeycomb” effect, this new yoke will feature improved haptics, hall-effects sensors for much-improved resolution (up to 400% better), and a new spring-loaded mechanism for the ignition. Despite these difficulties, Honeycomb has announced an updated version of its beloved yoke, to be called Alpha Flight Controls XPC. It’s been an elusive piece of hardware since the pandemic hit, a situation that is hopefully starting to slowly improve. Let’s start with Honeycomb’s flagship product, the Alpha Flight Controls yoke. We’ve told you already about a similar announcement from Thrustmaster, with its first flight simulation yoke based on the Boeing 787 design, but Honeycomb is bringing a wider variety of new products that will surely please many fans of the hardware house. Honeycomb Aeronautical had a pretty comprehensive set of announcements to make in this year’s FlightSimExpo.
