Thanks for the reply Mark. I've gone through those threads, but to me at least, those seem more like graduate-level issues. By going through those again I DID discover that the Honeycomb Configurator driver is just used to configure lights, so that answers my question that I will need to configure the controls within the FSX settings. I'm just surprised that there are no step-by-step instructions guiding us through that configuration process. There are a lot of examples within those threads for MSFS, but I have yet to discover a yoke/throttle configuration aid for FSX--I feel like I'm missing something, these Honeycomb controllers are compatible with FSX right? I chose to go with FSX instead of MSFS because PMDG's 737 add-on is not available for MSFS yet, and I'd like to use their realistic platform for FMS training and practice approaches.
Primary issue 1: I feel like there must be a checklist-style guide on how to configure these controllers (Honeycomb product, or aftermarket). I have discovered some of those examples for MSFS, but not for FSX.
Issue 2: I'm assuming these aren't "plug and play", and will require some configuration inputs, but when I attempt to do this within FSX I don't get far (example, when I try to configure the throttles to the "throttle increase" command it says to "press the joystick button you want to assign" but when I advance the throttles forward it doesn't recognize the button position, the field stays blank, I'm probably doing it wrong, but with no guidance anywhere I have no idea).
Issue 3: When I just plug in and start playing the yoke pitch-and-roll works, but the remaining buttons command random inputs and need reconfiguring. On the throttle quadrant the gear handle works, the trim wheel works, the smaller flap lever on the dashboard works, however...the flap lever on the quadrant effects throttle increase/decrease, the throttles on the quadrant have no effect, the speed brake lever turns the ailerons. Is it supposed to automatically work properly, do I have faulty hardware, or do I just need to configure the controls so they work properly with my Flight Simulator platform (which I assume is the case but have no idea how to do).
Sorry for the super long post, as you can see with still no reply from Honeycomb customer support I'm desperate. Just thought someone may recognize these issues and know of a solution. I have combed through threads, google, and youtube and am having no luck finding how to get these going on FSX. Does Honeycomb really expect new users to have an understanding of how to get this hardware working with no instructions (other than "go to our website and download our driver", which apparently only configures the lights). I feel like I'm missing something?
