Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke vs Honeycomb Bravo Throttle + Alpha Bundle for X-Plane 12: 25.5-point gap, force feedback wins.

The Brunner CLS-E NG scores 86/100 against the Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo bundle's 60.5/100, a gap that translates directly into tactile fidelity and control precision during active flying. In X-Plane 12's blade-element physics engine, the Brunner's adjustable force feedback and metal construction give you real stall buffet and control loading feedback on a VFR cross-country in turbulent conditions or a manual ILS into EGLL in crosswind — sensations the Honeycomb simply cannot replicate. The Alpha/Bravo bundle counters with 54 buttons and 6 axes, making it the stronger pick for multi-engine or airliner workflows where you need dedicated throttle levers, flap detents, and switch assignments without a separate throttle unit.

Brunner CLS-E NG Flight Yoke

Choose Brunner CLS-E NG Flight Yoke if you fly X-Plane 12 in VR with force feedback immersion as a priority — especially GA aircraft where stick forces, stall onset, and trim feel matter on every approach.

Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Alpha Flight Controls Bundle

Choose Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Alpha Flight Controls Bundle if you fly airliners or multi-engine props in X-Plane 12 and need dedicated throttle quadrant hardware with mapped detents and a broad button layout in one mid-range package.

Our take:

The Brunner CLS-E NG Flight Yoke is the clear recommendation for most X-Plane 12 pilots — its 25.5-point scoring lead reflects a force feedback and build quality advantage that fundamentally changes how the sim feels in your hands.
