Comparing performance for X-Plane 12 · Scoring: 45% CPU / 55% GPU weighted
Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant vs Winwing ORION2 Throttle F/A-18 Handle Max for X-Plane 12: Bravo wins by 10 points.
The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant scores 80.5/100 against the Winwing ORION2's 70.5/100, a 10-point gap that reflects broader utility across X-Plane 12's aircraft roster. Flying multi-engine GA or airliner profiles into congested photogrammetry airports like KLAX, the Bravo's six independent levers let you manage throttle, prop, and mixture without axis reassignment juggling. The ORION2's 80-button layout earns its place for pilots building a dedicated F/A-18 pit who need every HOTAS function mapped for carrier pattern work or fast-jet formation flying online.
Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant
Choose Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant if you fly mixed-fleet X-Plane 12 sessions spanning GA, turboprop, and airliner aircraft and need six discrete lever axes ready without reconfiguring your setup.
Winwing ORION2 Throttle F/A-18 Handle Max
Choose Winwing ORION2 Throttle F/A-18 Handle Max if your X-Plane 12 sessions are locked to fast-jet operations and you need 80 mappable buttons for full combat systems and radar mode control in a single HOTAS unit.
The Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant is the clear pick for most X-Plane 12 pilots — its 10-point lead and six-axis versatility make it the more capable throttle quadrant across every flight category outside dedicated fast-jet simulation.
