2. HARDWARE SETUP
2.1 ATTACHING TO DESKTOP/HOME COCKPIT
SETUP
OPTION A: Mounting on Iron Surface
The COMPOSS has 4 magnets that make it very easy to attach
to magnetic metal surfaces. Simply place the COMPOSS in its
desired location.
OPTION B: Mounting on non-magnetic surface
Unscrew both screws (a) indicated in the diagram below using
the provided Allen key (B). Remove the bottom plate of the
COMPOSS and secure it to your non-magnetic surface using
two additional screws. Reassemble the composs and its base
plate with the two screws (a) previously removed.
Two screws (not provided) or double sided tape (not
provided) are needed to secure to mount the COMPOSS
in a non-magnetic surface.
Alternatively, attach double-sided tape/velcro to the COM-
POSS base to secure it to the non-magnetic surface.

2.2 CONNECTING TO PC
Connect the integrated USB cable from the COMPOSS to the
computer where the flight simulation software is running.
2.3 ADJUSTEMENTS
FRONT LABELS
Aircraft may have an eect on the magnetic values of the
COMPOSS. To account for these small errors, use the fine tip
marker (D) to annotate the variations on the white region of
the front labels.
For instance, data labels with error variations annotated might
look like the example below. In this particular case, when the
COMPOSS indicates 358, the aircraft is ctually facing directly
North (a heading of 360).
You also have a replacement set of labels (C) in case you
decide to change the simulated aircraft.
BACKLIGHT
You can turn on/o the backlight of the COMPOSS as per
convenience by pressing the button (a) behind it, indicated in
the diagram below.

3. SOFTWARE SETUP
The COMPOSS interacts with any computer through VFHub,
the software developed by Virtual Fly to simplify setting up
our products. For the COMPOSS, it is the only way to set it
up with your preferred simulation software. With VFHub, you
can fly your favorite flight simulation software without worrying
about configuring your Virtual Fly flight controls.
You can download the latest VFHub version from this link:
https://www.virtual-fly.com/setup-support. The VFHub installer
takes care of installing VFHub and all the required modules.
VFHub is compatible with MSFS, Prepar3DV4-V5 and X-Plane
11/12.
After installing VFHub, make sure your COMPOSS is
connected to your computer. Run VFHub, and verify that the
COMPOSS status displayed in the Dashboard is “Connected”:
VFHub takes care of making your COMPOSS work with MSFS,
Prepar3DV4-V5 and X-Plane 11/12, so it must always be running
when you use the COMPOSS.
If the COMPOSS does not point "North" after plugging
the USB in, or displays a dierent position than the plane,
make sure to calibrate the device inside VFHub. For more
details, check the USER’s MANUAL button in the VFHub
software:
If you want to customize the backlight options of the
COMPOSS works, select the device’s options button
( ) in VFHub’s Dashboard.For detailed instructions on
all the tuning and customization possibilities, check the
USER’s MANUAL button in the VFHub software.
