How's the dome lights looking

[kevinfirth]

Pilot/co-pilot lights dimmable in increments 😄

On my end there's four dome light switches for this plane.  When their all on the cabin looks different than it should with beamed lighting from a small roof light source.  The whole roof of the plane is lite up like the whole top of the aircraft is producing light versus the individual bulb lights.  It must be something with my setup.🥴

And this is unrealistic to you why?  Light doesn't stop when it hits something, it reflects, bounces around.  Look at the different screenshots with different number of lights on.  Look where the light is brightest, where it shines down onto the seats 🙂

That's not what I'm seeing on my end.  When I get home I'll investigate further.

🙂 come back to the discord if you're still struggling after investigating your end 🙂

I think the fact that the worst thing we can find to quibble about is the cabin lighting effects points to how GREAT this plane is 😎

None of my zoom controls are working in this aircraft, whether I set from settings/camera or from the menu bar.  Only one flight completed to check her out, so read the manual for anything referencing the zoom.

I'm confused by this statement because the Honeycomb Bravo has a detent for reverse/beta -

I wonder why this hasn't been utilized?

There's a detent there, but move the throttle below the detent and it won't do what you desire...

As @Torsen notes above, Honeycomb chose to implement the area below the detent as an on/off switch, NOT as an extension of the axis.  I wish they would change that.

Strange - I have to move my Bravo throttle into the hard detent on the Bravo for Beta.  I don't get any beta outside of the hard detent.  It works as I would expect.  I haven't read the manual yet or watched the videos, just a quick flight so far.

Try assigning "Throttle Axis (-100% to 100%)" to your axis, you probably have the normal "Throttle Axis" assigned in MSFS, which stops at Idle and doesn't move into Beta.

On a different note: Somebody needs to make an interior mod, the white glareshield, floor and seats are...not my aesthetic, let's put it like that 😄

EDIT: Just noticed that this repaint here comes with a black glareshield. Nice!

Just opened the manual for a good read.  As far as the Honeycombe Bravo is concerned, this section in the manual appears to be relevent...

3. Use a controller device with both a positive and negative axis range. If you bind the MSFS control
THROTTLE AXIS to it, MSFS should configure the negative part of the axis to the beta and reverse
range automatically.

Putting the Bravo throttle into the hard detent does engage beta.  However, this is of course just a switch with full beta.  Does the real beta have a range rather than just on or off?

Yes, the real beta has a range!

Does anyone know where to get performance tables?
