3. SOFTWARE SETUP
The TQ6/TQ6+ interacts with any computer as a joystick (HID),
so it is compatible with any flight simulation software. Below,
you have 2 options for setting up your TQ6/TQ6+ with the
most popular flight simulation software: MSFS, Prepar3D, and
X-Plane 11.
OPTION A: Using VFHub (Windows Only) - Recommended
VFHub is the software developed by Virtual Fly to simplify
setting up our products. Thus, it is the recommended software
to set up your TQ6/TQ6+. 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.
After installing VFHub, make sure your TQ6/TQ6+ is connected
to your computer. Run VFHub, and verify that the TQ6 status
displayed in the Dashboard is “Connected”:
VFHub takes care of making your TQ6/TQ6+ work with MSFS,
Prepar3DV4-V5 and X-Plane 11, so it must always be running
when you use the TQ6/TQ6+.
Make sure to use set up a blank profile to the TQ6/
TQ6+ in the controls or joystick menu of the simulation
software you are using. You can find the detailed steps
in: https://downloads.virtual-fly.com/docs/vub/latest/

If your device is a TQ6 non-PLUS version, make sure to
calibrate the device in VFHub. For more details, check

OPTION B: In-game Configuration
Below, you have a general scheme to set up your TQ6/
TQ6+ with the most popular flight simulation software: MSFS,
Prepar3D, and X-Plane 11.
MSFS
If you own a TQ6 PLUS version, your device is ready to be
used in MSFS. If you own a TQ6 non-PLUS version, open
MSFS and go to the options menu. Select the controls menu,
chose the TQ6 from the device list, and assign the axes as
you please.
Prepar3D
Open Prepar3D and go to the “Options” menu. Locate the
“Key Assignments” and “Axis Assignments” and select the
“TQ6/TQ6+” from the Controller list. Assign the axes as you
please. Calibrate the device following the instructions inside
“Control Calibration”.
X-Plane 11
You will only need to calibrate your TQ6/TQ6+ inside X-Plane
11, since axes and reverse zones are automatically assigned.
Open X-Plane and go to the Settings\Joystick sub-menu,
select the TQ6/TQ6+ from the device list and follow calibration
steps for your device.
If you own a TQ6 non-PLUS version, you must calibrate
your device using Windows Calibration.
If you want to customize how your TQ6/TQ6+ 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.
Make sure the “Enable Controllers” option inside
Options/Controls is enabled.
The reverse zones are not available with the in-game
configuration for MSFS and Prepar3D.
