Logitech FLIGHT YOKE SYSTEM Simulation Controller
Introduction
Congratulations on buying the Logitech G Flight Yoke System. The Flight Yoke features realistic controls configurable for all the major flight simulation software to make your flying 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
- Downloadable software to program and customize controls and to save personalized profiles.
Installation Instructions
First, fix 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 firmly 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 firmly 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. Use the integrated USB Hub on the side of the Flight Yoke to easily connect other parts of the Logitech G Flight range of products, such as additional Flight Throttle Quadrants, Flight Rudder Pedals, or other peripherals.

Driver updates

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 first 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.

Programming
The Pro Yoke System’s buttons, controls, and axes correspond to commonly used functions in Microsoft FS9 and FSX according to the tables below. As with any software, if you wish to change the function of a button or control, you will need to change the settings of the game software.
Configuring
The Flight Yoke System’s buttons, controls, and axes correspond to commonly used functions in Microsoft FS9 and FSX. As with any software, if you wish to change the function of a button or control, you will need to change the settings of the game software. Once you have done this, simply find the command that you want to assign to your controller 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 find that when you assign the levers on the quadrant to a command, 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%).
