Honeycomb Aeronautical has confirmed plans to release an Xbox-compatible version of its Echo Aviation flight sim gamepad later this year. The new XPC model expands the company's existing controller line, which previously supported only PC platforms, to include Microsoft's console ecosystem. Designed for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator, the device retains the original's modular control scheme while adapting its hardware interface for Xbox compatibility. The announcement was made without additional details regarding pricing, regional availability, or exact release timing beyond the fall 2026 window. The product remains under development, with no official launch date specified. The company emphasized that the controller maintains compatibility with existing flight simulation software ecosystems, continuing its focus on precision input for aviation enthusiasts. The development reflects broader industry trends toward cross-platform support in specialized gaming peripherals.
