Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant Previews and Development Update

by Calum Martin on HardwareNews
Honeycomb Bravo Controls Throttle (6)

Shared on Facebook earlier today, the Honeycomb Aeronautical team has shared a new set of photo previews of their upcoming Bravo Throttle Quadrant. Along with the previews, the team also gave a brief update in regards to the current production status and when simmers can expect it to release.

The team said that they have received the first Engineering Validation and Testing (EVT) sample direct from the production factory. According to the post, this means that the injection tool is complete. Going forward, the next steps for the team are to complete the Design Validation and Testing (DVT) and also pilot production. Honeycomb said that both of these should come in quick succession.

Whilst the new previews and current status are good news, there sadly also comes a production delay. Understandably, with the current global situation, production has been delayed by at least 2 – 3 months. This delay is the result of production capacity has had a major impact with slots more limited than before. Whilst this delay is unfortunate, the team assured the community that once a new schedule is confirmed, Honeycomb will inform us.

In the meantime, you can read our review on the Honeycomb Aeronautical yoke here.
