Boeing 777-200LR Yoke for Infinite Flight
For years the 777-200LR could fly farther than any other airliner on Earth — a jet like that deserves more than a thumb on glass. SkyYoke makes your iPhone the 777-200LR yoke for Infinite Flight: roll your wrists to bank, pull back to rotate, over your own Wi-Fi.
A Boeing 777-200LR yoke for Infinite Flight is a control-column setup for hand-flying the simulator's ultra-long-range Worldliner. SkyYoke builds one from your iPhone: gravity-based tilt becomes roll and pitch at 60 Hz over your local Wi-Fi, so the 777 banks when you roll your wrists and rotates when you pull back — no extra hardware required.
The jet that turned the far side of the world into a nonstop
Boeing gave the 777-200LR a nickname that sounds like a boast and reads like a spec sheet: the Worldliner. For years it was the longest-range airliner in the world, a machine that could lift off in one hemisphere and put its wheels down in the other without a fuel stop in between. In Infinite Flight, that pedigree turns every flight plan into a dare — how far are you willing to take it tonight? A Boeing 777-200LR yoke for Infinite Flight is how you make both ends of that journey worth savoring. SkyYoke turns the iPhone already in your pocket into the control column, so the longest flights in the sim begin and end with your hands on a yoke rather than a finger on a slider.
Here is the quiet truth about ultra-long-haul: the autopilot owns the middle, but the pilot owns the edges. A heavyweight rotation off a full-length runway and a crosswind flare half a world later are the two moments that define the whole trip — and they are exactly the moments a touchscreen flattens into nothing. Give the -200LR a column, and those minutes get their weight back.
Meet the Worldliner
The 777-200LR exists to erase fuel stops. It is the ultra-long-range member of Boeing's 777 family, a wide-body twin hung with two GE90 turbofans — engines so enormous and so powerful they became celebrities in their own right. That combination set distance records and brought ultra-long-haul city pairs into reach that had always demanded a connection, which is why pilots and passengers who measure a great airplane in hours aloft hold this one in particular affection.
It is also, unmistakably, a Boeing. The pilot faces a control column, not a sidestick, and the airplane answers the hand that moves it. That character carries straight into the 777-200LR in Infinite Flight's fleet, where it flies alongside its stretched sibling, the 777-300ER — same bones, different mission. The -200LR is the one you choose when the route itself is the point.

MOTION YOKE
WINGS LEVELBANK LEFTBANK RIGHTPITCH UP
- Hold & centreOne tap captures your grip as wings-level neutral.
- Tilt leftRoll the phone left and the aircraft banks left.
- Tilt rightRoll the other way to bank right — 1:1, smoothly.
- Tilt backEase the top toward you to pitch up and climb.
SkyYoke's Motion Yoke senses the direction of gravity relative to a neutral you choose, not raw rotation angles. That one design decision changes how everything feels: sensing is grip-independent, so the phone can lie flat across your knees or stand upright between your hands like the column itself, and the response is identical either way. There is no gimbal lock lurking at steep attitudes. You decide where full deflection lives — anywhere from a 15° to a 60° lean — and a one-tap recenter captures a fresh neutral whenever you shift in your seat mid-flight.
Each axis then carries its own tuning, so you can give the Worldliner the deliberate, planted feel a heavy twin deserves:
- Sensitivity — how much aileron and elevator a given lean commands.
- Dead zone — a calm center, rescaled so full travel still reaches the stops.
- Expo curve — soft around neutral for the cruise, full authority out at the edges for the flare.
- Inversion and trim — match the response to your hands, then trim the long climb away.
- Smoothing — a low-pass filter that damps jitter without dulling intent.
Rather not move the phone at all? The Touch Joystick swaps motion for a self-centering on-screen pad — 1:1 response that springs back to neutral the instant you let go — and you can switch between the two control styles whenever you like.

SMART THROTTLE
CLIMB 88%IDLEREVERSEBRAKESBLOCKED
- Push up — thrustThe top of the lever is forward climb power.
- Pull to idleA haptic click marks the idle detent.
- On ground, fast — reverseIn the red zone the lever holds reverse thrust.
- Slowing — wheel brakesBelow 40 kt the same zone becomes proportional braking.
- Airborne — blockedReverse in the air is locked out with a warning.
Ultra-long-haul departures are throttle theater: a jet near maximum weight, a full-length runway, thrust standing up against the brakes. SkyYoke's smart throttle gives the moment a proper lever. Slide it forward for 0–100% thrust, feel the haptic tick as you cross the idle detent, and watch it recolor by role — blue and green for forward thrust, amber for braking, red for reverse — so peripheral vision alone tells you what your hand is commanding.
Half a world later, touch down, pull the lever into its red zone at 40 kts or above, and the app engages held reverse thrust: Infinite Flight expects reverse to be held continuously, so the lever holds it for you while the self-centering rudder bar keeps the nose tracking the centerline. As the rollout decays below 40 kts, that same travel hands over to proportional wheel braking, walking the big twin down to taxi speed. And if you ever pull toward reverse in the air, the zone is simply locked — a warning banner, a repeating haptic, no exceptions.

Heavy jets reward preparation, and SkyYoke briefs you like a crew. On the Performance screen you set a what-if loadout against a live MTOW bar, pick your runway, and read headwind and crosswind components computed from in-sim weather; the app then estimates V1, VR, V2, VREF and VAPP — scaled by weight and density altitude — and sanity-checks that the runway is long enough for the attempt.

Violation avoidance
Descending toward 10,000 ft, VAS can clamp the autopilot speed target to 250 kts or manage energy at idle — an aid, never a guarantee.
While you fly, glass-cockpit chips keep IAS, altitude, heading and vertical speed in view next to a ground/air phase chip and a spoiler annunciator, and PFD-style speed and altitude tapes — complete with a trend arrow and cyan selected-value bugs — feed your instrument scan. The systems panel handles the flows: battery, APU and external power for the turnaround, the full exterior lights set, cabin signs, autobrake from OFF to MAX, and engine start — showing only the controls this aircraft actually exposes. And because nobody wants an overspeed at the end of a marathon leg, the Violation Avoidance System arms as you descend toward the 250-kt band and steps in before the simulator hands out penalties.
Get started in five steps
- Join the same Wi-Fi. Your iPhone and the device running Infinite Flight need to share one network.
- Enable Infinite Flight Connect. Switch it on in Infinite Flight's settings so the simulator accepts external controls; SkyYoke then discovers it on the network automatically.
- Bind the axes once. Map roll, pitch, throttle and rudder in Infinite Flight's Controllers settings — the in-app setup guide walks through every step.
- Load the 777-200LR. Pick the Worldliner from Infinite Flight's fleet and spawn somewhere worthy of its legs.
- Fly. Tilt to bank, pull to rotate, and let the lever and the rudder bar handle the rest at 60 Hz.
Worth knowing: SkyYoke is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by Boeing or Infinite Flight LLC. Aircraft availability and features inside Infinite Flight — including the 777-200LR — are determined by Infinite Flight itself. V-speeds, callouts, TCAS and violation-avoidance cues are simulator aids and estimates, never for real-world flight.
Frequently asked questions
Flying Infinite Flight's Worldliner with an iPhone as the yoke — the real questions.
What is a Boeing 777-200LR yoke for Infinite Flight?+
It is a way to fly Infinite Flight's ultra-long-range 777 with a real control column instead of touchscreen sliders. SkyYoke creates one from an iPhone: the app joins your Wi-Fi network, connects to Infinite Flight running on another device, and translates the phone's tilt into roll and pitch at 60 Hz — so the Worldliner banks when you roll your wrists and rotates when you pull back.
Is a motion yoke practical on the 777-200LR's ultra-long-haul flights?+
Yes, because you only hand-fly the parts worth hand-flying. Take off and climb with the yoke, then hand the cruise to SkyYoke's autopilot panel — ALT, V-S, SPD and HDG targets with swipe-to-scrub value strips. An optional fail-safe engages the autopilot if the app disconnects or moves to the background, and a one-tap recenter captures a fresh neutral whenever you pick the phone back up for the descent.
How do reverse thrust and braking work when landing the 777-200LR?+
Once the mains are down and you are at 40 kts or faster, pulling the smart throttle into its red zone engages held reverse thrust — Infinite Flight requires reverse to be held, and the lever holds it for you. Below 40 kts that same travel becomes proportional wheel braking. In the air the red zone is blocked entirely, with a warning banner and a repeating haptic.
Can SkyYoke estimate V-speeds for a jet as heavy as the 777-200LR?+
The Performance screen estimates V1, VR, V2, VREF and VAPP from a library of aircraft profiles spanning the Cessna 172 to the A380, scaled by your actual weight and the density altitude, with a runway-length adequacy check and headwind and crosswind components from in-sim weather. Arm the takeoff callouts and V1, Rotate and V2 are spoken during the roll. These are simulator estimates only, never for real-world use.
Is SkyYoke an official Boeing or Infinite Flight product?+
No. SkyYoke is an independent, unofficial app with no affiliation to Boeing or Infinite Flight LLC. It communicates with Infinite Flight through the simulator's public Connect API over your own Wi-Fi network. Which aircraft appear in Infinite Flight's fleet, and what features they support, is determined by Infinite Flight itself. The app is coming soon to the App Store; an early-access list is open now.
