Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant vs Virpil Controls VPC Throttle MT-50 CM3 for MSFS: Bravo wins by 10 points on versatility.
The Honeycomb Bravo scores 80.5/100 against the Virpil MT-50 CM3's 70.5/100, a 10-point gap that reflects the Bravo's broader lever count and immediate plug-and-fly usability for civil aviation workflows. Flying a turboprop approach into EGLL with live AI traffic and live weather, the Bravo's six configurable levers — handling throttle, prop pitch, condition, and flaps simultaneously — keep your hands on the right axes without remapping gymnastics. The MT-50 CM3 counters with 71 buttons and 12 axes, making it the sharper pick for combat-adjacent or complex military sim profiles where deep HOTAS-style input density across a single quadrant matters more than lever count.
Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant
Choose Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant if you're flying multi-engine GA or turboprop airliners in MSFS 2024 and need six dedicated levers for throttle, prop, and mixture across realistic IFR approaches into congested photogrammetry airports.
Virpil Controls VPC Throttle MT-50 CM3
Choose Virpil Controls VPC Throttle MT-50 CM3 if you prioritize dense button and axis count for complex custom bindings — particularly for military or advanced sim profiles where 71 programmable inputs outweigh lever versatility.
The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is the clear buy for most MSFS 2024 pilots — its 10-point scoring lead and six-lever layout serve civil aviation workflows that the MT-50 CM3's two-lever design simply cannot match.
