INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on buying the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System. The Pro 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 × 2 -way rocker switches
- 2x Single-function buttons
3-position mode switch
- ST Programming Software (ST) allows gamers to configure their controls to suit their preferred gaming style, and to save the configurations as personal profiles.

INSTALLING THE FLIGHT YOKE AND THROTTLE QUADRANT

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. Your Throttle Quadrant comes supplied with additional lever knobs to configure any combination of throttle, flaps,

mixture or prop pitch and you can also buy additional quadrants to link together for more complex multi-engined aeroplane configurations. 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.

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 YOUR SAITEK PRO FLIGHT YOKE AND THROTTLE QUADRANT WITH SAITEK ST SOFTWARE

The Saitek Pro Flight 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 YOUR SAITEK PRO FLIGHT YOKE AND THROTTLE QUADRANT FOR MICROSOFTFLIGHT SIMULATOR 9 AND FSX

The Saitek Pro Flight 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.

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, 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

If you wish to change the controls or set up the additional buttons that have not been 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 first select the Buttons/Keys tab at the top of the window.

What is a Profile?

A Profile 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 Profiles 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 Profiles, which are added regularly).

How do I program my controller?

After getting to know your controller, you can start creating your own personal Profiles 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 Profile 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 reconfiguring of your buttons.

Getting Started

1. Double-click on the Saitek ST software icon the install left on your desktop.
2. In the Profile 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 flashing, 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 Profile Editor window.
5. Give the profile a name (it is recommended you name it after the game for which the profile is intended) and then click Save.
6. To enable the profile either click the blue Profile Now icon at the top of the Profile Editor or right-click on the controller icon in your taskbar and select the name of the profile from the pop-up list of options.
7. You will notice that when a profile is loaded that the controller icon in your taskbar has a green square behind it, indicating that a profile is currently loaded. If you wish to unload a profile simply right-click on the controller icon and click Clear Profile 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 Profile Editor and then Manual.
