Autopilot VS Bug Fix for Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant in MSFS.

As of 12/26/2020 MSFS version 1.12.13.0 the default profile for the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant has a bug with the autopilot VS mode selector knob.

It is a bad keybind in MSFS, not a problem with the Honeycomb Bravo.

The proper way this should work is the left knob controls what the right knob adjusts. The buttons activate to deactivate the function. The knobs should never activate or deactivate the function. The VS knob is improperly doing this.

This video shows how to fix it.

As I wait for my throttles to arrive (shipped but sitting in HKG for 5 days now), your videos are saving me a lot of future setup headaches. Thank you!

Your videos are awesome. This issue bugged me and I couldn't figure out what was going on, just knew it didn't feel right. Thanks so much for this !

[SergioSilva-zcid]

This is it!! You nailed it! This is exactly what was causing my problems. Thanks again for your video. Asobo should pay more attention to this.

Thank you in advance! My Bravo Throttle has been sitting in a fedex warehouse in Hong Kong for over a week! Can’t wait to get it!

Great job, Sir. I really appreciate all the work you've done with all your videos and I eagerly watched all of them. Re this particular video, I actually think that this info is no more updated. Seems like all the updating done to the sim and to Bravo driver could have changed the situation. In fact I didn't have the binding you mentioned, and nothing happened to my VS mode by passing on it on left knob. I had instead another different wrong HOLD binding that I canceled as for your correct suggestion. But the issue I have now is that on the setting you suggested here I am unable to change VS values after the setting on VS on left knob and by rotating the right knob. I am specifically talking about the Bendix KAP 140 simulated on the default "analogic" C172. After properly selecting an altitude, when I select second tick on left knob and by pressing VS button nothin happens to the value on display that stays stuck to the altitude I armed before. To change the value of vertical speed I can use only UP and DOWN buttons on the cockpit AP panel. I also watched a video where another guy suggested a completely different approach by using "SLOT INDEX MOD" instead of your "SET BUG MODE". It depends on further or previous versions of the software? Have you any suggestion for my problem? Thx in advance

Thanks for this. Just tried autopilot for first time and couldn’t understand what I was doing wrong or wondered if I had a faulty unit! Will give this a try!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I search for this Problem for a Month! Not Aerosoft and Honeycomb cant help me with this Problem!

A huge THANK YOU!!!!
This fixed the huge issue of ILS not working!
I love my sim again😃👍

[liquidbassdrive]

Thank you! The throttle itself is nice. But I decided to put mine away for as long as the simulator is not ready for it. It’s a shame that you can’t use it as intended even though it is the recommended hardware. They have to fix the bug with the 10°/1000ft increments.

Great video. Was curious why VS didn't stay active when I tweaked other AP parameters.

I thought I was going crazy or totally didn't get it - THANKS so much!! Giant bug.

Encountered another speed problem. Let’s say you’re in cruise then want to climb. If you hit FLC on the G1000 unit, it auto sets FLC speed to current airspeed for obvious reasons. However, hitting ias on the Bravo will always set your FLC speed to the previous Bravo setting rather than the current plane’s speed. Very annoying issue.

UPS just sent me an email - it's out for delivery in my area :) After almost 6 months the long wait is almost over. That said, your videos will be a great help to set it up - will cut down on the initial bugs/frustrations that could arise - Thanks for the insights.

Super helpful video again Rmag, thanks!

Very helpful ... I notice that several quirky things are happeneing which I blame on MSFS but not sure. Strobe and Landing lights are not correct for several aircraft - ON is OFF and vice versa. Also I notice that when you do certain things on the Bravo device - the identical selection with a KB seq does not work ?? where is the fault and will it ever get fixed ? Something about Toggle and SET in the assignment menus - and ON PUSH or RELEASE etc that makes a hair pulling contest. MSFS does so many odd things and then corrects itself - no way to know what to do. Thanks again.

I set up my Bravo quadrant yesterday, but didn't have time to properly test it and I did NOT notice this bug (does not mean it's not there). As of today (August 2021), are you aware if it was fixed recently by default ?

[gronygroovy]

Thank you so much sir! I have subbed and liked! I am going through all of your videos now! :) Have a great day!

[john-orcf]

I noticed the same thing! Nice fix! Now, does anyone have a description of what the key binding names actually mean? The names themselves are too cryptic.

Great ... thanks a lot from Switzerland 🙂

Outstanding stuff! Thank you so much.
