PMDG 737 and Honeycomb

Featured Replies

It's probably me - but is anyone else having problems binding any of the Honeycomb yoke and quadrant switches to any of the 737's switches and systems?

The only ones I've managed so far are the flight controls (primary and secondary), thrust levers (minus reverse thrust) and some views.  Autopilot functions appear to be OK but lights, battery, APU start/stop, Eng Anti Ice etc don't seem to be able to be bound.

As an aside, the MSFS systems options appear to be sadly lacking compared to the myriad of those found in X-Plane.

I think we need a list with the custom commands of the PMDG 737. I'd like to have that, too.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Thanks for the pointer - it seems I/we are not alone.  Why on earth, after all this development time by PMDG, haven't they offered a customised set of commands - or is it Asobo displaying Gallic stubbornness?

This is normal for any 3rd party aircraft. they want to build custom code so they need to create their own variables. This is why almost everyone that has been around flight simming is using FSUIPC or SPAD.NEXT

Any HC Alpha users have a recommendation on sensitivity curves for the 737?

My main problem with the 737 + Alpha/Bravo combo is the landing gear lever that is completely wonky.
