Comparing performance for X-Plane 12 · Scoring: 45% CPU / 55% GPU weighted

Honeycomb Bravo Throttle + Alpha Bundle vs Alpha XPC for X-Plane 12: same score, more axes decides it.

Both units rate identically at 60.5/100 on our model-derived scale, so raw score alone cannot separate them — the decision comes down to hardware capability and workflow fit. The Bundle's 6-axis configuration and 54-button layout gives IFR pilots tangible advantages during multi-engine approaches into dense X-Plane 12 photogrammetry airports like EGLL, where throttle, prop, and mixture axes need simultaneous independent control. The Alpha Flight Controls XPC, with 3 axes and 36 buttons in a lighter footprint, suits the VFR cross-country pilot who wants a clean yoke-only input without the desk space commitment of a full quadrant setup.

Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Alpha Flight Controls Bundle

Choose Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant with Alpha Flight Controls Bundle if you fly twin or turboprop procedures in X-Plane 12 and need discrete throttle, prop, and mixture axes mapped simultaneously for realistic engine management on approaches.

Honeycomb Aeronautical Alpha Flight Controls XPC

Choose Honeycomb Aeronautical Alpha Flight Controls XPC if you primarily fly single-engine VFR legs or VR city flyovers in X-Plane 12 and want a compact, no-quadrant yoke setup without the added desk footprint.

Our take:

The score gap is zero — buy on value tier and use case: the Bundle justifies its mid-range premium only if you actively use the extra axes for multi-engine ops; otherwise the XPC is the sharper budget buy for single-engine X-Plane 12 flying.
