Fly more realistically with Flight Simulator Controls
Your favorite flight simulation becomes even more fun and realistic when you use Flight Simulator controls. In fact, flying itself becomes a lot easier — compared to flying with a keyboard and mouse — when you use a flight stick or flight sim yoke.
Most hardware is fully compatible (plug and play) with, and suitable for, the big popular flight sims such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3D (P3D) and X-Plane.

Drivers and software for your flightsim hardware
Most flightsim controls are recognized by your flightsim software, meaning that installation of drivers is usually not necessary. When you want to make use of profiles, or advanced mapping, you can use the manufacturers drivers and software.
With this software you can completely set up the axes, buttons and switches to your own preference. The software can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. If you're using Thrustmaster flightsim hardware for example, you can use their T.A.R.G.E.T. software.
When you want extensive control of your flight simulator controls in Flight Simulator X or Prepar3D, we recommend the FSUIPC-plugin aan. Admittedly, it is a plugin with a steep learning curve, but the possibilities are almost endless.
