I've had the alpha for a month or so and have been waiting on the bravo to arrive.  It has and I'll get to break it out this weekend however prior to I've been reading folks tips on config setups and I've seen mention of software downloadable from Aerosoft for the bravo and alpha regarding (at the least) LED status.  Is this even required for MSFS anymore? I thought I'd read this was a non-issue now.  If there is any required software is Aerosoft the source or Honeycomb? Honeycomb has one link on their site but its non-working and another that links to Aerosoft but just for LED status from a couple of months back.  Thanks for your help...

No piece of software is required. The LED fix fixes just that, the LED warning panel.

I use the led software from HoneyComb, I could not download it with Chrome, but it went well with Edge.

Thanks folks.  Can't wait to fly with the both of them.  

I have the fix for the lights on the Bravo, not sure if it is still needed but works for me.

One other thing to mention...some switches on the Brave conflict with the switches on the Alpha, you will need to reassign them (lights primarily)

Or simply clear those Bravo switch settings until you determine what other functions you may wish to assign.  I wish there was a more organized method for sharing profiles.  That would be a huge help.

Has the issue with the switches and 10-deg heading bug been addressed?

Not that I am aware of. I use joystick gremlin along with vJoy to circumvent it, but it means that I have to spend some extra time configuring the buttons.

Yes.

And note that it was not Honeycomb that needed to address it....

can we not just copy out the files containing the profiles that correspond to the input device(s)?  a quick search reveals...not much.  I'm looking into this if anyone knows of projects related to this please lmk

The default Bravo profile in MSFS still has a few bugs I believe. At least I had to remove a few double assignments to the autopilot knob in order to make it work as expected.

Congratulations on grabbing a Bravo.  I got mine this past Thursday and am super happy with it.  No software is required for the Bravo itself.  The LED software is just for the gear and annunciator lights.

Unlike the Honeycomb profiles for FSX/P3D saved via the Honeycomb Configurators,  The MSFS profiles seem to be saved by MSFS into relatively obscure locations with obscure names. If those can be tracked down, and if the filenames are not a barrier (i.e. unique names from one person's installation to another's) then it is possible.  Then all that is needed is a repository like the Library here on Avsim or perhaps on TO.

I have hit a couple of dead ends attempting to assign Bravo switches in MSFS.  One example is pitot heat when there are two pitot heat switches like in the twins.  I can find only one assignment to use in MSFS itself, not two.  I am not to this time attempting to use FSUIPC7.

Found for instance my Honecomb Bravo settings file.  Here is the path to the folder that holds it:

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs\000901FDE8E88D49_00000000000000000000000069F80140\5D9A10D974DF4123B7BEEB6CA7A81B61\

And here is the filename in that folder:
8B0D957B55EF46D999E0E6E366EFCBCA

How much more obscure can they make it?
