You are of course quite right. I typed that in a hurry when I was particularly tired. It's been a very tiring year!

Aren't we all (still waiting)?!😬

It will be nice to be able to fly with something other than a gamepad... eventually.

Would like to get the throttle quadrant and pair it with the TCS Airbus stick, but I never pre-order stuff - I really only order stuff that's in stock and ready for delivery because spending £200+ on gaming is an impulse thing where I wanna see a quick return 😄 so I guess I have a long wait for general availability of the TCS and Honeycomb hardware

Flightsim still seems niche enough that vendors are small and can't produce enough product to meet demand, and then stuff that's a few year's old and no longer being produced just runs out of stock everywhere

Does anyone have more details on how the TOGA button on the Boeing throttles work?  From the marketing, it is supposed to be functional and I see the red button the throttle level one in the video.  But the one button per lever being used by the reversers makes this more questionable.

Agreed. I have no issue of they sell it for a modest profit and/or list it as biddable and then if the buyers bid it up - that's ok. I wish Ebay would put a cap on the scalping.

It's capitalism at it's best.

The best way for anyone to combat it is not to purchase from scalpers. It is an item that I wish I could get but I will certainly wait until it's readily available. After all it is a "want" not a "need"!

Nope. Only you guys in the UK apparently. I ordered mine on Monday before release date and got it a day after release.

Haven't seen mine yet. Supposed to be in second week of orders.

If memory serves me correct in the USA none will ship until first week of November.

 

Since this is a thread about the Honeycomb Bravo but has also strayed into talk of the Thrustmaster Airbus controls, can we all make it clear which item(s) we're referring to in our answers, either by naming them or quoting someone else who does. The supply issues are confusing enough without the thread going the same way!😉

Thanks.

I'd love this but I have an L shaped desk and I didn't see any options for mounting it on a flat surface. Sure I could fab something up with some 2x4's but I use my desk for things other than just flight simming. I may end up taking a look again in a while, may end up moving my computer to the right side of my desk and then remove my drawers on the right side
