The plugin removes the centered + sign with the squared box around it and instead adds a new command to X-Plane 11 that lets you toggle mouse yoke control on or off. When toggled on, you can

  • move the mouse right to go right,
  • move the mouse left to go left,
  • move the mouse toward you to go up,
  • and move the mouse away from you to go down.

The absolute mouse position on the screen represents the deviation from center of the yoke, i.e.

  • move the mouse to the right edge of the screen to apply full-right yoke,
  • move the mouse to the left edge of the screen to apply full-left yoke,
  • move the mouse to the bottom edge of the screen to apply full-up yoke,
  • and move the mouse to the top edge of the screen to apply full-down yoke.

Additionally, a magenta text indicator is displayed in the upper-left corner of the screen when mouse yoke control is active.

While in mouse yoke mode, press and hold the left mouse button to switch to rudder mode. Two green little bars will appear to the left and to the right of the cursor that indicate the mouse movement range for rudder deflection. Release the left mouse button to transition back into mouse yoke mode. The rudder will then gradually return to the neutral position.
