The YOKO/YOKO+ 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 YOKO/YOKO+
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 YOKO/ YOKO+. With VFHub, you can fly your
favorite flight simulation software without worrying about
configuring your Virtual Fly flight controls.

VFHub is compatible with MSFS, Prepar3DV4-V5 and X-Plane 11.
After installing VFHub, make sure your YOKO/YOKO+ is
connected to your computer. Run VFHub, and verify that the
YOKO status displayed in the Dashboard is “Connected”:
