Description
Hi folks - through much trial and error I have completed a full set of scripts and templates for the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo to control the PMDG 737 using Axis and Ohs. If you don't have a Honeycomb Alpha or Bravo, you should still be able to use the Axis and Ohs scripts, simply assign them to keys on your own controller as you wish.
The intentions for these bindings are to provide easy access to switches that are frequently used during flight, particularly in high workload times such as shortly after takeoff and shortly after landing when you don't want to take your eyes off the sky. Most startup and shutdown functions will still need to be performed through the virtual cockpit.
Installation Instructions:
1. Open Axis and Ohs without having an aircraft loaded into the sim.
2. Select "Scripting -> Import Scripts" on Axis and Ohs toolbar. Select the "PMDG737_AAO_SCRIPTS.xml" file. Check the box to select all scripts and import.
3. Select "Templates -> Import Template" on the Axis and Ohs toolbar. Select the "PMDG737_HCALPHA+BRAVO.tmpl" file.
4. Load the PMDG737 into the sim.
5. Select "Templates -> Apply a template to this aircraft" on the Axis and Ohs toolbar. Choose the template that you just imported.
The full bindings are listed below and are available in the screenshots at the top:
The autopilot knobs all work as expected. By default, the CRS setting on the left hand Bravo knob will change both Course 1 and Course 2 knobs in the aircraft. If you do not want this functionality then remove the two "PMDG_737-COURSE_SYNC" script assignments after applying the template by selecting each box, then clicking the red minus sign at the bottom right of the window.
Honeycomb Bravo Autopilot/Switches
All other axes including speedbrake, throttles, flaps, as well as landing gear and trim switches can be set in MSFS settings without issues.
Landing gear trick in MSFS keybinds: Set "Gear Down" to the upper position on the Bravo quadrant and change the activation mode to "On Release". Do the opposite for "Gear Up", also "On Release". This will fix any gear keybinding issues and allow you to manually move the gear level to the "Off" position with your mouse while flying.
PMDG737 Axis and Ohs Scripts and Full Template for Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo
Setup your Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo with these premade scripts and keybinding template to allow you to access the custom PMDG events for the most commonly used switches while flying. The entire Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo setup is tied to switches in the PMDG 737 aircraft.

I have made some additions on GitHub to support the addition of detents using the official honeycomb flap kit (and optional spoiler) here https://github.com/angry-bender/PMDG737_AAO_SCRIPTS_AND_TEMPLATE_fork_V1.4.2_ab/tree/main
Will flick a DM to see if you would consider updating.
Only thing i would add for a novice is the instructions on how to migrate the config to throttles / yokes with a different GUID :-)

Edit: Ok.. after reading some previous threads, and also reading some similar issues with the Fenix, I finally got it to work. For those who had similar issues as me, you need to rebind both Course items. Basically, once in the game, and in the plane, go to Axis and Ohs, and for the first Course item, delete the bind for button 12 and 17, and redo it, and save. Then do the same for the second Course, delete the existing bind, and redo button 13 and 17, and save. Then "save" to database. After that it works. The right course heading changes after about 1 second delay, but it does work.

Everething works fine except that when i move the thrust levers there´s no thrust in the airplane. The levers move, but the engines do not respond and the plane does not move at all.
What am i doing wrong?

Hi
Thank you for this amazing job. Really enjoy the script.
I just have a question : I would like to swithe the "engine cut off" function when you lower the throttles to the "engine reverse" function (i have the prodesksim throttle with the reverse switch). Do you know how i could map both action to reverse engine rather than cut off ?

A very perfect piece!
A suggestion, is it possible to have the knob control both CRS1 and 2? If that is possible that would be great.
And a little problem is that when I turn the knob the value jumps too fast, can I make the rotation slower?

Whenever I turn the plus or minus the numbers go up in threes any ideas

This has made using the Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle so much more user friendly Thanks for you hard work. I have been trying to get a similar Script and template for the Black Square analogue gauge King Air but without success. Have you any plans to load other templates?

I likely will cover the 777 and 747 when they come out but don't plan to venture beyond those for templates I want to be responsible for maintaining no.

Thank you! Is it possible to set the gear lever to off automatically when the gear is retracted?
