SkyYoke works with game controllers. Use a controller's sticks and triggers to fly while the phone shows the cockpit, or bind just a few buttons to help.

1. Pair the controller with your iPhone in iOS **Settings → Bluetooth**, or plug in a Backbone.
2. In SkyYoke open **Settings → External Controller**. It shows **Connected** with the controller's name.
3. Tap **Bind** next to a control, then move that stick or trigger, or press that button, on the controller.
4. Repeat for every control you want. Turn on **Invert** for any axis that moves the wrong way.

## What you can bind

| Type | Controls |
| --- | --- |
| Axes | Roll, Pitch (elevator), Rudder left, Rudder right, Brake, Thrust |
| Buttons | Gear, Flaps up, Flaps down, Spoilers, Parking brake, Pushback, Autopilot, Reverse thrust, Push-to-talk |

**Reverse thrust** and **Push-to-talk** act while you hold the button; the others act once per press.

## How it works

- A bound axis takes over from the phone's tilt or touch input while the controller is connected. Unbound axes still use the phone.
- When a controller connects, a short banner confirms it. If nothing is bound yet, the cockpit shows a hint.
- **Clear all bindings** removes every binding.

Supported controllers include Xbox, PlayStation DualSense, Backbone and other MFi controllers.
