About

Fly2Gether

Read full description

Fly2Gether turns your iPhone into a wireless flight controller for flight simulators on your computer. Designed specifically for aviation, Fly2Gether provides the controls pilots use most often during flight while avoiding many of the limitations of traditional gamepads and generic mobile controllers. ESSENTIAL FLIGHT CONTROLS Fly2Gether focuses on the controls that matter most while flying: • Pitch control using device motion • Roll control using the onscreen joystick • Rudder (yaw) control • Throttle control • Elevator trim • Brakes • Flaps By focusing on the controls used continuously throughout a flight, Fly2Gether provides a clean and efficient interface that works naturally on the iPhone's compact screen. Less frequently used simulator functions remain available through your keyboard, mouse, or the simulator's virtual cockpit. DESIGNED FOR PRECISE AIRCRAFT CONTROL Unlike traditional gamepads, Fly2Gether separates flight controls so that each finger is responsible for only one axis at a time. This helps eliminate unwanted mixed-axis inputs that can make precise flying difficult. Fly2Gether also features a unique pitch-freeze system. The pitch axis can be frozen and released instantly, allowing you to change your seating position or device angle without disturbing the aircraft. This is especially useful during long flights and while flying from a couch or other relaxed seating position. NO EXPENSIVE HARDWARE REQUIRED Enjoy realistic flight control without investing in bulky simulator equipment. Fly2Gether provides the essential controls needed for normal flight operations using the device already in your pocket. Ideal for: • Flight simulator enthusiasts • Travel and portable simulator setups • Users without dedicated flight hardware • Pilots looking for an additional control option DUAL-JOYSTICK SHARED CONTROL Fly2Gether also supports collaborative flight simulation. Two pilots can share control of the same aircraft using a built-in control ownership system. To prevent conflicting inputs, only one pilot controls the aircraft at a time. When the second pilot wants to take over, they simply press the "I have controls" button and control transfers instantly. Ideal for: • Flight instruction • Simulator training • Shared cockpit flying • Cooperative simulator sessions COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS, LINUX AND MACOS Fly2Gether communicates over your local Wi-Fi network with companion software running on your computer. On macOS 15 or later, the Fly2Gether companion app provides a virtual joystick for your simulator. Simply open the Mac app and keep it running while flying. Whether flying solo or together, Fly2Gether makes realistic flight simulation more accessible and affordable.
