 RUDDO CONFIGURATION  

ON MICROSOFT FLIGHT 
SIMULATOR (MSF) AND 
PREPAR3D

The user has two options in order to set the RUDDO with MFS-Prepar3D:

• 

Through the MFS-Prepar3D menu (5.1):

 This is the common procedu-

re in order to set any control device or joystick.

• 

Through the “VF-Test&Calibrate” Control Panel (5.2):

 "VF-

Test&Calibrate” is a Control Panel that makes a link between RUDDO 
and MFS-Prepar3D. This Control Panel is an alternative of the RUDDO  
settings  used  in  MFS-Prepar3D,  which  provides  a  greater  sensitivity 
and dead zones for  more realism.

Also, this control panel will let you limit the force that you apply on the 
pedals-brake if you are not able to press the maximum force.

5.1. THROUGH THE MFS-PREPAR3D MENU

•  From  the  main  MFS-Prepar3D  splash  screen,  choose  the  “Settings” 

option and click on the “Controls” button.

• Check that “Enable controller(s)” option is activated.
• Click on the “Control axes” tab and select “VirtualFly – RUDDO” on the 

dropdown list.

• Select “Rudder axis” in the list and press “Change Assignment”.
• Slide the rudder pedals taking care of not pressing the brakes. You will 

see that the detected axe appears in textbox, then press "OK".

• Repeat the process for “Brake left axis” and “Brake right axis” of the list, 

swivelling each time the corresponding pedal.

As  "VF-Test&Calibrate”  Control  Panel  receive  input  data  from  RUDDO 
and then send it to MFS-Prepar3D, Keep in mind, that VF-Test&Calibrate 
Control Panel has to remain ON when you use MFS-Prepar3D.
