The Bravo is equipped with a dual-mounting kit, which has been adapted from the Alpha Flight Controls. The trim wheel and undercarriage lever can also be seen in this shot. Finally, an annunciator panel with 14 warning lights displays the status of critical systems such as master warning/caution, engine fire, vacuum, fuel, hydraulics, oil pressure and so on.Īdditional features include a general aviation autopilot, annunciator lights and a switch panel. Below the autopilot, there are seven programmable two-way switches which can be assigned to operating the aircraft’s systems such as pitot heat, external lights, fuel pump or cowl flaps to name a few. A five-way selector switch is used for jumping between different modes while a rotary knob dials in the settings such as desired heading or altitude. The Bravo is also equipped with a general aviation type autopilot with backlit buttons, which can be used for selecting various modes such as heading, altitude, vertical speed and approach, etc.
Additional features include an undercarriage handle with green/red lights to indicate the status of the landing gear and a GA-style elevator trim wheel. There is also a two-way GA-type flap switch so it is possible to use either the flap lever for flying airliners, or for general aviation we can use the two-way flap switch. A friction knob sets the ‘stiffness’ of the axis, which works smoothly and seamlessly. Additional Features on the BravoĪpart from the actual throttle levers, the Bravo comes with plenty of additional features. Luckily, that is not my main FS computer. Also strange, to me, are the lights on the TQ but it looks great and thank you very much to the person that wrote the Bravo is made to be highly configurable and can be set up to replicate the controls found in any number of aircraft types, including four-engine airliners.

One caveat about HIDMacros is I couldn't shut it down in Windows 10 and it wouldn't save the work. One more cool thing about HIDMacros, is that it can distinguish between multiple keyboards connected to the same computer, the reason I use it. Use the (L:WhateverTheLvar, number) as required. 3) In the actual *.lua, I use:įunction BravoTQ(offset, val) val = ipc.readSW(0x4E0) ipc.writeLvar("L:WhateverTheLvar", val) end event.offset(0x4E0,"SW",BravoTQ) 2) Write what you need in HIDMacros (i.e.: in the script tab: HIDMacros.SetFSUIPCInt &H4e0, 2, 1. Step 1 is to have the luas files/names listed in the proper places in FSUIPC.ini. The only thing it can't do (unless someone knows how) is read and write to Lvars. The author of that has moved on to LuaMacros but I find HIDMacros very easy to use. There is another option or "walk-around" the 32 button limit with FSUIPC and that is to use HIDMacros (website is: ). There is an analog flap lever and a digital flap button - weird. Enough critique, I still like it and will use it - especially for the price. I also thought the reverse throttles were analog but they are just buttons.

But it's an upgrade to the 2 Saitek TQ's I had before. I won't be using any buttons beyond the reversers. Also, when the throttles (4 for a B 747) are at max forward, the toggle buttons aren't really accessible. I just received the Bravo TQ and I do like its looks, feels okay but it has too many buttons for a throttle quadrant. For Hutchinson (and anyone else stuck in the past - like me :). But is should be no different configuring it compared to any other autopilot or button box - to FSUIPC its just a collection of buttons and axes

There seem to be plenty of Bravo users using FSUIPC7, so maybe they can help or advise on how to configure the Bravo for a specific aircraft. This adds additional events for the G1000, G3000, GNS530, and KAP140.
There are also additional events/controls that you can use that are provided by the MobiFlight WASM module (together with event files that you add to FSUIPC so that it knows about these events). There is a list of available events generated and stored in your FSUIPC7 documents folder. There are various events to control autopilot functions, some work in some aircraft and not in others. Are there settings in FSUIPC that will control the autopilot functions on the throttle quadrant?įSUIPC just access to the events provided by MSFS, together with some additional ones that it adds.
