Hopefully by the time Nvidia release the next gen card so that all those lovely people that are trying to sell the cards they managed to get at ridiculously inflated prices will then be stuck wit them !!!

Before I Order this I would like to get a pdf version of the user manual for the Bravo.  I have been looking around and cannot find one.  Can anyone point me to a download.

Yeah if they're unlucky they'll be able to sell their 3080 for only 5k 
Have you looked at the prices? they're selling 1050s for 500€ 
My 1070 could be sold for 1k, but then I would be stuck inside real life forever.

It really is crazy,

I came across a guy this weekend trying to sell a brand new Asus RTX 3090 for $4400 (Canadian) Just to upset him I offered $440 lol

Prepare for a shock and/or disappointment.

I "ordered" one last time they were in stock about a week ago. I initially emailed them to check they were actually in hand ready to ship, not just pre-orders. Then I saw on the MSFS forums they really did have them so I went to their site and ordered one.
My order was placed and went through at 20:23EST on Wednesday the 10th.

On Thursday the 11th I got an email reply from them at 10:24EST, so almost 14 hours AFTER I placed my order. I was told this by Nicole:
"Thank you for reaching out! I'd be happy to help.
First, Yes! The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is in stock for your order!"

So to be clear, 14 hours after I placed my order they told me they had them in stock, and indeed their website was still taking orders at that point.
They wanted me to confirm the shipping cost to Canada (which was US$115 - so to the UK I would expect an eye watering amount, likely more than the throttle itself). I did so within 20mins.

My order sat in the limbo "Submitted" state for all of Thursday and into Friday.
Suddenly my emails were going unanswered.
I was told they only bother with International shipping on Weds-Friday. It generally seemed to me that international shipping was a hassle to them.

By 5pm on the Friday my order status had not changed so I decided to call them.

I was then told this tale of complete garbage. Apparently they had a big batch of orders come in just before mine so they ran out of stock before they got to me and I was now on backorder. This was despite them telling me that they had them in hand 14 hours after my order was placed and confirmed!

My suspicion was they simply couldn't be bothered dealing with the hassle of international shipping so they simply gave away my throttle to a US domestic customer instead to make their life easier. Rather than put them into the back-order line they shoved me there instead.

So after that I told them to cancel my order, as I wouldn't be doing business with any company that lied to me and treated me with contempt.
So my advice would be to prepare for a) disappointment and b) extremely high shipping charges. Beware also if you have to return anything, they make you pay the shipping costs. A read of this business reviews on sites like TrustPilot make for very grim reading.
After my experience I'll never visit their website again.

I got mine today, and my God what a difference it is to have a decent trim wheel, that option alone is worth buying it.
