We’re excited to announce that the Alpha Flight Controls LITE is now available! Designed for simmers who want to start flying right away, the Alpha Lite combines beginner-friendly simplicity with the build quality and realism Honeycomb is known for.
For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, however, the way flight simulator hardware is integrated has changed. Due to this shift, some required features for full support are not yet available in the simulator. We are actively collaborating with Microsoft to resolve these issues and enable seamless use of the Alpha Lite as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we’re providing a reliable workaround:
- A step-by-step manual button mapping guide to get you flying quickly.
- Preconfigured profiles for standard setups, including an import guide.
- Our support team is ready to assist with any questions or setup concerns you may have.
- MSFS 2024 button mapping sheet (flyhoneycomb.com/downloads/alpha-lite-msfs2024-button-mapping)
- MSFS 2024 profile import files and guide (flyhoneycomb.com/downloads/alpha-lite-msfs2024-profile-import)
The Alpha Lite delivers an authentic cockpit feel, tailored for those who want to begin their flight sim journey without unnecessary complexity. Featuring 180° yoke rotation with a smooth self-centering mechanism, minimal dead zone for accurate maneuvers, and intuitive controls including a POV switch, rocker switches, and programmable buttons — it has everything you need to take off.
Despite its streamlined design, the Alpha Lite doesn’t compromise on durability. A solid steel shaft, linear ball bearings, and a fiberglass-reinforced structure ensure long-lasting performance — from your first flight hours through more advanced simulations.
