Buttons on Honeycomb Alpha Yolk won't work.

[N7223B 2]

Hello All:

I am new to Flight Simulation and this group.

Just installed X-Plane 12 on a Dell XPS 8950 with Nvidia GeForce RTX 36 Ti graphics card. Am using the Honeycomb flight controls with the Bravo throttle quadrant and Thrustmaster rudder pedals. Only have one monitor hooked up for now until I get the basics down. The Dell XPS 8950 is currently dedicated to this X-Plane 12.

My problem: Am getting no connection or input from the yolk buttons on the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls. Rudder pedals work ok (need fine tuning) and the throttle quadrant is doing its job so far. However, the hat switch on the Alpha Flight Controls for changing the view does not do anything and the other yolk buttons (trim, flaps, etc.) appear completely dead. The avionic, generator, battery, lights, ignition, and pitch and roll work correctly. Just nothing on the yolk handles.The settings for the yolk appear to be assigned correctly but I get no action.

The flap switch and the trim wheel on the Throttle Quadrant work appropriately. 

Have only flown the C-172 and Stinson L-5 on this system while beginning to learn it. 

Is there something obvious I am missing?

Frank

I have moved your topic into the Honeycomb Alpha forum for maybe a quicker response to your question.

Thanks Charlie.

All:

Gee...I am such a klutz! After Charlie sent my post to this section about the Alpha, I began reading all the prior information about the RJ45 issue. I discovered that my connector cable from the RJ45 outlet on the panel to the yolk had fallen into the bottom of the box and I had not connected it.  Dug it out and connected it. 

Problem solved. Thanks
