FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Alpha Lite suitable for someone completely new to flight simulation?

Yes. Alpha Lite was designed specifically for entry-level simmers. It focuses on the core controls you need to start flying, without overwhelming extras — making it the perfect first step into flight simulation.

Do I need any extra hardware to start flying?

No. Alpha Lite connects directly to your PC or Mac and works with major simulators out of the box. You can always add a throttle or rudder pedals later, but they aren’t required to begin flying.

Which flight simulators does Alpha Lite work with?

Alpha Lite is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 11/12, and Prepar3D. It also supports macOS with X-Plane.

What’s the difference between Alpha Lite and the original Alpha Flight Controls?

Alpha Lite is a streamlined, beginner-friendly version of our flagship Alpha yoke. It keeps the same Honeycomb build quality, but offers fewer switches and a simpler design. The original Alpha adds a full switch panel, ignition, and more advanced features for experienced simmers.

Does Alpha Lite include a throttle quadrant?

No. Alpha Lite is a yoke only. For throttle controls, you can add the Bravo Throttle Quadrant or pair with other Honeycomb products as you grow your setup.

Is setup complicated or truly plug-and-fly?

Plug & Fly with MSFS20. Seamless integration with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020: simply connect and start flying right away. For MSFS24, a practical mapping guide and ready-to-use device profiles are available here.

What warranty and support do you offer?

All Honeycomb products come with a 2-year warranty and dedicated customer support. If Alpha Lite isn’t right for you, we also offer free returns within 14 days of purchase.
