4. YOKO CONFIGURATION
ON MICROSOFT FLIGHT
SIMULATOR (MFS)
AND PREPAR 3D
The user has two options in order to set the YOKO with MFS-PREPAR
3D:
• Through the MFS-PREPAR 3D menu (4.1): This is the common proce-
dure in order to set any control device or joystick.
• Through the “Virtual Fly - YOKO” driver (4.2): “Virtual Fly – YOKO”
is a Windows application that makes a link between YOKO and MFS-
PREPAR 3D. This program is an alternative of the YOKO settings used
in MFS-PREPAR 3D, which provides a greater sensitivity in roll and
pitch axis due to the longer displacement which the YOKO has, lea-
ding a more realism.
4.1 THROUGH THE MFS-PREPAR 3D MENU
• From the main MFS-PREPAR 3D splash screen, choose the “Settings”
option.
• Click on the “Controls” button.
• Check that “Enable controller(s)” option is activated.
Axes assignment
• On the “settings – controls screen” click on the “Control Axes” tab.
• On the drop down list “Controller type”, select “VirtualFly”( or alternatively,
“BUA”).
• In the “Assignment list” scroll down until you find the “Ailerons Axis”.
Double click on the “Ailerons Axis” to open the “Change Assignment
window”. Turn the YOKO left and right, “X Axis” should appear.
• Go Back in the “Assignment list” and scroll down until you find
“Elevator Axis”. Double click on the “Ailerons Axis to open the “Change
Assignment window”. Move the YOKO forward and backward, “Y Axis”
should appear.

natively, “BUA”).
• From the “Assignment List”, double-click the event that you want
to assign.

• Left control yoke switch (forward): “Elevator trim (down)”.
• Right control yoke switch (to the left): “Rudder trim (left)”.
• Right control yoke switch (to the right): “Rudder trim (right)”.
• Right button: “AP main switch (enable/disable)”.
Sensitivity adjustment
• From the “Settings – Controls” window, click on “Calibration” tab.
• On the drop down list “Controller type”, select “VirtualFly” (or alterna-
tively, “BUA”).
• On the screen select “Advanced Controls”.
• In the Axis list you should see: “Ailerons Axis and Elevator Axis”.
• To adjust sensitivity, move the sensitivity slider to the left for less sensi-
tive controls and to the right for more sensitive controls.
• To adjust the null zone, move the null zone slider to the left for sma-
ller null zone and to the right for larger null zone.
Finally click on “OK” to exit and close Microsoft Flight Simulator to
ensure that changes will be saved. Now you can start MFS to check
the YOKO in a flight.

4.2 THROUGH THE “VIRTUAL FLY - YOKO” DRIVER
Requirements

FSUIPC Installation
In case you already have FSUIPC installed in your MFS/PREPAR 3D you
can skip this step.
• Go to the “FSUIPC” folder from the memory stick provided with YOKO.
• Execute the setup program according your MFS version (FSX-PREPAR
3D or FS2004).

red cross is not centred with the YOKO in neutral position or when mo-
ving the Yoko to the left or to the right the red cross doesn’t reach the
box edges, it means that the YOKO is not calibrated properly. To solve
this problem go to the: “.Windows Calibration”.
