BruinBravo Posted May 30, 2023 Report Posted May 30, 2023 Hello: I am currently needing help in 2 areas: Honeycomb Yoke: I am unable to figure out how to get my Honeycomb Yoke to steer the Challenger 650. I have flipped the NWS switch to on...still no response to the HY. Any solutions/suggestions. I have also downloaded a 2022 Yoke and Bravo Profile onto my Honeycomb system. Avionics, MFD, PFD,CDU are not lighting up. The screens remain off. What am I missing? I have attached pics of overhead showing all power, including APU functioning. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance. Tony Laughter tlaughter@gmail.com Log.txt Quote

BruinBravo Posted May 30, 2023 Author Report Posted May 30, 2023 Thank you. Disappointed the Honeycomb will not work on the NWS issue. It jst means I cannot fly the plane....and I love the plane. Quote
Pils Posted May 30, 2023 Report Posted May 30, 2023 The Honeycomb has at least one other axis you could assign to Nose wheel steering, if I recall. If not, there’s probably a way to use the keyboard, assuming you don’t have rudder pedals. Quote

It jst means I cannot fly the plane....and I love the plane. I'm currently building my own controls for the Challenger 650. The first one I built was a tiller for NWS and it works perfectly. When concept proofing, I cannibalized an old Logitech Attack 3 joystick to use its circuit board. I took a potentiometer that I got from a discarded| audio equipment because it had a center detent, I wired it to the THR axis on the PCB and assigned it to Nosewheel tiller in the configuration panel of the simulator. I attached a large knob to the pot and put the PCB and the pot into a small plastic project box. I used it like that for some time while I was designing and building the final control which I 3D printed to make it similar to the one on the Challenger, so I cannot show you a picture of that temporary control, but it was a very simple project that I built in a few hours and that worked exceptionally well. Maybe you can try something similar. I hope it helps. 1 Quote
simking1 Posted April 17 Report Posted April 17 I assigned a rotating knob on the throttle to the NS axies Quote
