Alpha Flight Controls XPC
PC or Xbox GA pilots who prefer a modular, better-feeling yoke deck and accept the cost and stock hunt of adding throttle and pedals separately.
The Alpha XPC is Honeycomb's Xbox-capable version of its 180-degree general-aviation yoke. It uses upgraded Hall-effect sensing, a damped self-centering mechanism with no hard center detent, red backlighting, a complete ignition-and-light switch panel, and a dual mounting system. The yoke itself works on PC, Mac, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, but a complete Xbox cockpit can still require Honeycomb's Xbox Hub when Bravo and Charlie peripherals join the chain. The official store lists it at $349.99; availability has been the recurring ownership complaint, so confirm stock before planning the rest of the deck around it.
Worth buying for the right builder, but read the warnings before it lands in your cart.
