Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls

[esschallert]

So currently I'm trying to getting the honycomb yoke to work. But the yoke isn't even recognized on windows 10. On the website it says that for FS2020 no drivers are needed.

You must have the Alpha Beta drivers installed?... Ah just kidding and have no idea.

When you plug it in does the red LED lighting on the front of the yoke light up? If not, check the USB cable is plugged in securely at the back of the yoke. Also, if you are using a USB hub, try plugging it directly into one of the PC USB sockets. Mine shows up as: 'Alpha Flight Controls' in the Windows 10 Game Controllers panel.

Yes they light up, it's also connected directly to the pc.

OK, sounds like you've tried pretty much everything, the only other thing I would try before contacting tech support would be the following, if you haven't done so already: 1. unplug all USB devices and try it on its own in case something else is interfering with it. 2. Try another USB cable in case the data part of the cable is damaged - Good luck, hope you get it sorted.

If it's not showing in the windows USB game controllers panel then it won't show up in the sim. Figure out why it's not working in windows and you'll solve your issue. Does the honeycomb come with its own USB cable? or is it permanently attached to the yoke? If you used your own, make sure it's not a power only cable (which I tried to use on my kindle the other day). And make sure it's not too long as well. Also try a different set of ports on the computer. On one of my computers there are two separate banks of USB ports and some devices (but not all) won't work in one of them. Strange but I gave up trying long ago to figure it out. Once it's recognized in windows 10, you'll be fine in the sim
