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,

Double click on the "Ailerons Axis" to open the "Change Assignment
window". Turn the YOKO left and right, "X Axis" should appear.
