The yoke provides realistic pitch and roll control. The stainless steel shaft ensures smooth and accurate movement.

• Pitch Control: Push the yoke forward to decrease pitch (nose down), pull back to increase pitch (nose up).
• Roll Control: Rotate the yoke clockwise to roll right, counter-clockwise to roll left.
• POV Hat Switch: Use the POV (Point of View) hat switch for quick camera adjustments within your flight simulator.
• Programmable Buttons: The yoke features 14 button controls and a 3-position mode switch, offering at least 54 programmable controls. These can be configured using the Logitech G software to assign various aircraft functions.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Logitech G PRO Flight Yoke System, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surfaces of the yoke and throttle quadrant. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays, as these can damage the finish and internal components.
• Storage: When not in use, store the system in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Management: Ensure cables are not kinked or pinched, which can lead to damage over time.
• Shaft Lubrication: The stainless steel shaft is designed for smooth operation. If you notice any stiffness or friction over extended use, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the shaft, but consult Logitech G support for specific recommendations.
