INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on buying the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System. The Pro Flight Yoke
features realistic controls congurable for all the major ight simulation software to
make your ying experiences more realistic.
FEATURES:
• 8-way point of view hat switch
• 6 x 2-way rocker switches
• 2 x Single-function buttons
• 3-position mode switch
• ST Programming Software (ST) allows gamers to congure their controls to suit their
preferred gaming style, and to save the congurations as personal proles.
INSTALLING THE FLIGHT YOKE AND THROTTLE QUADRANT
First, x the Flight Yoke to your table or desk by inserting
the prongs of the mounting clamp into the holes on the
yoke base and then tightening the screw mechanism
until the yoke is rmly attached (be careful not to
overtighten the screw as you may damage the
clamp). Next, screw the mounting plate to the Throttle Quadrant
using the four screws provided. You can screw the plate to one
of two sides of the quadrant depending on how you want to mount the quadrant - either in
front and below your table or on top of it. Please note that whichever way you choose to
mount the quadrant, ensure that as you look at the unit the rocker switches are at the bottom.
Now tighten the throttle unit clamp’s screw mechanism until it is rmly attached to your table.
You can also position the Throttle Quadrant on the left or right side of the Flight Yoke.
Now, connect the Throttle Quadrant to the Flight Yoke with the PS/2 connector provided. Your
Throttle Quadrant comes supplied with additional lever knobs to congure any combination of
throttle, aps,

mixture or prop pitch and you can also buy additional quadrants to
link together for more complex multi-engined aeroplane congurations.
Use the integrated USB Hub on the side of the Pro Flight Yoke to easily
connect other parts of the Saitek Pro Flight range of products, such as
additional Pro Flight ThrottleQuadrants, Pro Flight Rudder Pedals or
other peripherals.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Driver updates
From time to time there may be updates to the driver and programming software for this
product. You can check for the latest software updates by visiting the Saitek website (www.
saitek.com) and clicking on Downloads. A drop-down menu will appear. Select Drivers and
Software.
Enabling your controller in the game
Most games support game controllers, but typically default to the mouse and keyboard until
you go into the option menu within the game. The rst time you start a game after installing
your controller, go to the options menu within the main menu of the game and make sure
your controller is set up correctly. If you are having trouble working out how to do this, or if
you’re unsure whether the game itself supports game controllers, then please refer to the
user manual of that game for more help.

from the list of commands, click it and then click the Change Assignment button. A window
will appear asking you to move the part of your controller that you
want to assign to that command - press/move the button/axis that you want to assign
to that command and then click OK.
Tip: You may nd that when you assign the levers on the quadrant to a command, that they
don’t appear to work when you test them in the game. If this happens then you must look in
the Sensitivities screen (Flight Simulator 2004) or the Calibration tab of the Controls screen
(Flight Simulator X) of the game, select the axis command in the list there and ensure that the
Sensitivity isn’t set too low (set the horizontal sensitivity slider control to around 70%).

HOW TO ASSIGN PRO FLIGHT YOKE CONTROLS TO FLIGHT SIMULATOR FUNCTIONS

assigned by Flight Simulator automatically, then you must use the Assignments (Flight
Simulator 2004) or Controls (Flight Simulator X) screen within the game. This is accessed
from the Settings menu within the game.
When you access the Assignments/Controls screen in Flight Simulator, ensure that the Saitek
Pro Flight Yoke is selected in the option labelled Joystick Type. If you wish to reassign any
of the axes on your controller, (the yoke itself or the levers on the throttle quadrant) you must
select Joystick Axes (Flight Simulator 2004) or Control Axes (Flight Simulator X) at the top of
the window. If you wish to reassign any of the buttons on your controller, you must rst select
the Buttons/Keys tab at the top of the window.

What is a Prole?
A Prole is a custom setup for improved gameplay - consisting of a set of commands that are
pre-assigned to the buttons or axes of your controller. Pre-written Proles are available on the
Product Companion Disk that accompanies this device or on the Saitek Website -
www.saitek.com. (Please check the website for new or improved Proles, which are added
regularly).
How do I program my controller?
After getting to know your controller, you can start creating your own personal Proles
with the Saitek ST software programming software. This software has virtually unlimited
programming capabilities and allows you to customize the controller to your exact gaming
needs.
The Prole Editor allows you to program the buttons on your controller to perform different
actions within your games - this is especially useful if the game you are using does not have
its own screen that allows reconguring of your buttons.
Getting Started
1. Double-click on the Saitek ST software icon the install left on your desktop.
2. In the Prole Editor, choose the control to which you wish to assign a keyboard command.
You do this by left-clicking on the control’s cell in the control list on the right of the screen.
3. With the cursor ashing, type in the key commands and then click on the green tick mark
when complete.
4. Repeat this procedure for all the buttons you would like to program and then click File,
Save at the top of the Prole Editor window.
5. Give the prole a name (it is recommended you name it after the game for which the
prole is intended) and then click Save.
6. To enable the prole either click the blue Prole Now icon at the top of the Prole Editor
or right-click on the controller icon in your taskbar and select the name of the prole from
the pop-up list of options.
7. You will notice that when a prole is loaded that the controller icon in your taskbar has a
green square behind it, indicating that a prole is currently loaded. If you wish to unload
a prole simply right-click on the controller icon and click Clear Prole from the pop-up
list of options.
If you require more detailed assistance with using the ST Programming Software, click on
Help at the top of the Prole Editor and then Manual.
