Verdict for MSFS
The Honeycomb Sierra TPM suits Cessna and single flyers who want the real panel: three vernier knobs you twist for fine changes or push in fast, for throttle, prop and mixture. It's PC only and built for props, so jets with thrust levers need a second quadrant.

Pros & Cons for MSFS
Strengths
- Three push-pull verniers mean throttle, prop and mixture each get their own knob, so you can lean the mixture (the knob that sets the fuel-to-air ratio) a fraction of a turn at a time during a cross-country climb instead of tapping a keyboard key.
- The trim wheel, gear lever, flap lever and parking brake cover the rest of a GA panel, so on a visual circuit you drop the gear, bring in a stage of flap and roll in nose-up trim without reaching for the mouse.
- It completes a yoke-and-pedals setup for propeller flying: the push-pull knobs sit under the panel the way they do in the airplane, which is what you want if your hangar is full of singles rather than jets.
Trade-offs
- Honeycomb Aeronautical doesn't say the levers use contactless (Hall-effect) sensors, which read lever position without parts rubbing together, so expect the odd jitter as they age — a recalibration or a small dead zone keeps cruise power from wandering on a long leg.
- Honeycomb doesn't mention detents (the notches that let you feel a power setting without looking), and there are no airliner thrust levers, so you can't set a climb thrust mode after takeoff or pull reverse thrust on the landing roll; the next step up in price buys detented levers, more axes and an autopilot panel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good Throttle Quadrant for MSFS?
Yes, if you fly piston singles in MSFS 2024, and it scores 61.8/100 for the sim. It shines in a Cessna, where the separate throttle, prop and mixture knobs let you set climb power, pull the prop back and lean the mixture as three distinct actions. It shows its limits the moment you load an airliner, because there are no thrust levers and no detents to set takeoff or climb thrust.
Is it worth the price for MSFS?
For the money you're buying GA panel shape — push-pull verniers plus a trim wheel, gear lever, flap lever and parking brake — rather than lever count. Spend more and you move toward quadrants with multiple detented levers, an autopilot panel, stated contactless sensors and a console route; spend less and you're back to plain levers.
Does it work on Xbox or PS5?
It's PC only, so it connects by USB to a Windows machine running MSFS 2024 and shows up as its own controller. It won't work on Xbox, where a quadrant has to plug into a licensed stick or yoke from the same brand rather than the console, and PS5 doesn't support a separate quadrant at all.
What else do I need with it?
Pair it with a yoke (or a stick if that's what you have) and rudder pedals, since this module only handles power, trim and the gear and flap levers. On the desk, put it to the side of your throttle hand, low and close to the yoke, so your hand falls onto the knobs the way it would onto a real center panel.
How should I configure this in MSFS?
In MSFS controls, assign each knob to its own axis — throttle, propeller and mixture — then bind the trim wheel, gear lever, flap lever and parking brake, and check whether a ready-made profile has already loaded before you change anything. Because the sensor type isn't stated, run a calibration and add a small dead zone at the idle and full-forward ends so power holds steady in the cruise.
