Boeing 777F Yoke for Infinite Flight

A hundred tonnes of freight deserves a proper control column. SkyYoke turns your iPhone into a wireless 777F yoke for Infinite Flight — roll your wrists to bank the big Boeing freighter, pull to rotate, and ride one smart lever from takeoff thrust to walking pace.

A Boeing 777F Yoke for Infinite Flight is an iPhone app that becomes the control column for the 777 freighter flying in Infinite Flight on another device: tilt the phone to bank and pitch, with throttle, rudder and autopilot on the same screen. SkyYoke pairs the two over your local Wi-Fi and streams your inputs to the simulator at 60 Hz — no cables, no extra hardware.

Freight runs at midnight, flown by hand

Cargo crews joke that the 777F hauls everything except complaints — no passengers, no cabin chimes, just pallets stacked nose to tail and an ocean to cross before sunrise. Load that mission into Infinite Flight, though, and something is missing the moment you taxi: an airplane designed around a big Boeing control column is being steered by a fingertip on glass. A Boeing 777F yoke for Infinite Flight puts the column back where it belongs — in your hands. With SkyYoke, the iPhone you are holding is the yoke. Roll your wrists and the long-haul freighter banks with you; ease the phone back at VR and that slow, heavyweight rotation becomes a motion you actually perform.

Your phone is the cockpit. A yoke, throttle and full glass cockpit on your iPhone — with live traffic radar.

Nothing plugs in and nothing pairs. Your phone and the device running Infinite Flight simply share a Wi-Fi network; SkyYoke finds the simulator on its own and turns tilt into roll and pitch in real time, while your tablet stays free to be the windshield.

The 777F is what happens when Boeing takes the ultra-long-range 777-200LR airframe and fills it with main-deck cargo instead of seats. The result became the world's favorite large twin-engine cargo jet, and the reasons translate directly into the sim:

SkyYoke TCAS traffic radar issuing a resolution advisory while flying the Boeing 777F
Real TCAS, real resolutions. When traffic closes in, the scope over the yoke pad calls a genuine resolution advisory.
  • Long-range bones. Because it is built on the 777-200LR airframe, the F inherits the legs to take a full load across an ocean nonstop — your overnight Anchorage or Hong Kong sector is exactly what it was drawn for.
  • Two engines, freight-train pull. A pair of enormous GE90 turbofans moves 100-plus tonnes of payload with twin-jet economics — half the engines of the classic four-holers it replaced on cargo routes.
  • Trusted with the world's parcels. Carriers like FedEx, Lufthansa Cargo and Qatar Cargo run fleets of them, which is why the type is a fixture at every major freight hub on the planet.

The 777F sits in Infinite Flight's fleet with that whole personality intact: serious weights, a deliberate rotation, and a wing that settles into the cruise like it could stay there all night. It is, in other words, a yoke airplane — and that is the point of this page.

SkyYoke's Motion Yoke does not care how you hold the phone. Instead of raw device angles, it tracks the gravity vector relative to a neutral point you choose — so the control is grip-independent, immune to gimbal lock, and just as happy lying flat on your lap as held upright like the column in the real flight deck. Shift in your seat mid-sector (it is a long one) and a single tap of Recenter captures a fresh neutral.

Talk to your copilot. Speak a natural command — like “landing gear up” — and the on-device AI flies it.

Heavy metal wants measured inputs, and the tuning page obliges. The tilt range is configurable from 15° to 60° of lean for full deflection, and every axis — pitch, roll, yaw and brake — carries its own sensitivity, dead zone, expo curve, inversion, trim and smoothing. Flatten the response around center for those one-degree corrections on a gusty final, keep authority at the edges for the crosswind that freight schedules never let you avoid. If you would rather the phone stayed still, the Touch Joystick swaps motion for an on-screen, self-centering pad that maps 1:1 and snaps back to neutral the instant your thumb lifts.

One lever for a hundred tonnes

  4. Slowing — wheel brakesBelow 40 kt the same zone becomes proportional braking.
  5. Airborne — blockedReverse in the air is locked out with a warning.

A freighter at max weight makes the throttle half the job, and SkyYoke condenses the whole quadrant into a single intelligent lever — the same one behind the remote throttle for Infinite Flight. Push up for 0–100% forward thrust and let those two GE90s earn their keep down the runway. The lever's real party trick waits at the other end of the flight.

Touch down heavy and pull into the red zone: at 40 kts or above on the ground, SkyYoke engages held reverse thrust. Infinite Flight expects you to keep reverse pressed the entire time — the lever does the holding so your attention stays on the centerline. As the freighter slows through 40 kts, the same red travel hands over to proportional wheel braking, so one continuous pull walks you from full reverse to taxi speed. Airborne, the red zone locks out completely — a warning banner and a repeating haptic make sure you know — and a haptic tick marks the idle detent so your thumb can find it blind. The lever recolors as its role changes: blue and green for thrust, amber for brakes, red for reverse.

Freight weights swing wildly — a max-payload oceanic sector one night, a near-empty repositioning hop the next — and that is exactly what the Performance screen is for. It reads your live weights from the sim, lets you sketch a what-if loadout against the MTOW bar, factors the runway and in-sim winds, and estimates V1, VR and V2 that actually move with the load. While you fly, HUD chips track IAS, altitude, heading and vertical speed, and PFD-style speed and altitude tapes with cyan target bugs keep the scan honest.

TCAS traffic scope

An Airbus-ND-style scope over the yoke pad classifies live multiplayer traffic with TCAS II v7.1-style logic and speaks its advisories — a display aid, not certified avionics.

Violation avoidance

With the autopilot flying, the VAS watches Infinite Flight's 250-kt limit below 10,000 ft and clamps the speed target or manages your descent energy — an aid, never a guarantee.

Two of those deserve a second look on this airframe. A clean, heavy 777F builds speed relentlessly on the way down into a busy hub, which is precisely the situation the Violation Avoidance System exists for: it arms about 2,000 ft above the restriction, announces what it is doing, and gives your dialed speed back once you are clear. And because freighters share the night sky with everyone else's red-eyes, the TCAS scope paints the traffic right where your eyes already are. The systems panel, meanwhile, covers the ground work — battery, APU, external power, every exterior light, autobrake from OFF to MAX, engine start — and only shows the controls the 777F actually exposes.

From cargo ramp to rotation

  1. Join the same network. Put your iPhone and the device running Infinite Flight on one Wi-Fi network.
  2. Switch on Connect. Enable Infinite Flight Connect in the simulator's settings; SkyYoke discovers the device automatically and links with a tap.
  3. Bind the axes once. Map roll, pitch, yaw and throttle in Infinite Flight's Controllers settings — the in-app setup guide takes each axis in turn, and it never needs doing again.
  4. Load the freighter. Pick the 777F from Infinite Flight's fleet, check your loadout against the MTOW bar on the Performance screen, and arm the callouts.
  5. Fly the column. Wrists for bank, a steady pull for that long rotation, one lever from breakaway thrust to the last knot of the rollout.
Fair print: SkyYoke is an independent, unofficial companion app. Aircraft availability and every feature inside Infinite Flight are determined by Infinite Flight itself. V-speeds, callouts, TCAS and violation-avoidance behavior are simulator aids and estimates — never for real-world flight or navigation.

Frequently asked questions

Flying the 777 freighter in Infinite Flight with your iPhone as the yoke.

What is a Boeing 777F yoke for Infinite Flight?+

It is an iPhone app that acts as the control column for the 777 freighter you are flying in Infinite Flight on another device. SkyYoke connects the two over your local Wi-Fi: tilt the phone to bank and pitch, or use an on-screen touch pad, while throttle, rudder, autopilot and systems controls share the same screen. Your inputs stream to the simulator at 60 Hz with no extra hardware.

Does the motion yoke suit a heavy freighter like the 777F?+

Yes. The Motion Yoke measures gravity against a neutral point you set, so it works in any grip and never hits gimbal lock. You can widen the tilt range up to 60 degrees and dial in per-axis sensitivity, dead zone, expo and smoothing for deliberate, stable inputs — well matched to a fully loaded 777F, which rewards smooth, measured handling rather than quick flicks.

How do reverse thrust and braking work after landing the 777F?+

SkyYoke's smart throttle handles the whole rollout from one lever. On the runway at 40 knots or faster, pulling into the red zone engages held reverse thrust — Infinite Flight requires reverse to be held, and the lever holds it for you. Below 40 knots the same travel becomes proportional wheel braking. In the air, reverse is blocked entirely, with a warning banner and a repeating haptic.

What do I need to fly the 777F with SkyYoke?+

An iPhone on iOS 17.2 or later for SkyYoke, plus a second device running Infinite Flight, both on the same Wi-Fi network. Enable Infinite Flight Connect in the simulator's settings, then bind the control axes once in Infinite Flight's Controllers settings — an in-app setup guide walks through every step. After that, SkyYoke discovers the simulator automatically each session.

Is SkyYoke endorsed by Boeing or Infinite Flight?+

No. SkyYoke is an independent, unofficial app and is not affiliated with Boeing, Infinite Flight LLC or any airline. The 777F's availability and behavior inside the simulator are determined entirely by Infinite Flight. SkyYoke's V-speeds, callouts, TCAS and violation-avoidance features are simulator aids and estimates only — never for real-world flight.
