3. SOFTWARE SETUP 

The RUDDO/RUDDO+ interacts with any computer as a 

joystick (HID), so it is compatible with any flight simulation 

software. Below, you have 2 options for setting up your 

RUDDO/RUDDO+ with the most popular flight simulation 

software: MSFS, Prepar3D, and X-Plane 11.

OPTION A: Using VFHub (Windows Only) - Recommended

VFHub is the software developed by Virtual Fly to simplify 

setting up our products. Thus, it is the recommended software 

to set up your RUDDO/RUDDO+. With VFHub, you can fly 

your favorite flight simulation software without worrying about 

configuring your Virtual Fly flight controls. 

You can download the latest VFHub version from this link: 

https://www.virtual-fly.com/setup-support

. The VFHub installer 

takes care of installing VFHub and all the required modules. 

VFHub is compatible with MSFS, Prepar3D

V4-V5

 and X-Plane 11.

After installing VFHub, make sure your RUDDO/RUDDO+ is 

connected to your computer. Run VFHub, and verify that the 

RUDDO status displayed in the Dashboard is “Connected”:

VFHub takes care of making your RUDDO/RUDDO+ work 

with MSFS, Prepar3D

V4-V5

 and X-Plane 11, so it

 must always be 

running

 when you use the RUDDO/RUDDO+.

If your device is a RUDDO 

non-PLUS version

,

 make sure 

to 

calibrate

 the device in VFHub

For more details, check
