SkyYoke runs on an iPhone and controls Infinite Flight running on a second device over your local network.

## The basics

| Item | Requirement |
| --- | --- |
| Controller | An iPhone running **iOS 17.2 or later** with SkyYoke installed |
| Simulator | **Infinite Flight** running on an iPad or another iPhone, with **Infinite Flight Connect** turned on |
| Network | Both devices on the **same Wi-Fi network**, or the simulator device joined to the iPhone's **Personal Hotspot** |
| Permission | **Local Network** access for SkyYoke, so it can find Infinite Flight |
| Orientation | SkyYoke runs in **landscape** only |

SkyYoke does not run Infinite Flight itself. The iPhone is the controller and the other device is the screen, so you need two devices.

## Optional extras

| Feature | Extra requirement |
| --- | --- |
| [AI Voice Commander](https://ifkits.com/wiki/ai-voice-commander/) | iOS 26, an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence with it turned on, SkyYoke Pro, and microphone and speech recognition permission |
| [Realistic co-pilot voice](https://ifkits.com/wiki/checklists/#realistic-co-pilot-voice) | SkyYoke Pro, signed in, and about 750 MB free for a one-time 325 MB download |
| [Game controllers](https://ifkits.com/wiki/game-controllers/) | An Xbox, PlayStation DualSense, Backbone or other MFi controller paired with the iPhone |
| [Managed modes](https://ifkits.com/wiki/managed-modes/), [Auto-Trim](https://ifkits.com/wiki/gear-flaps-spoilers-trim/#auto-trim), [Violation Avoidance](https://ifkits.com/wiki/violation-avoidance-system/) | An Airbus or Boeing aircraft in Infinite Flight |
| [Auto Taxi](https://ifkits.com/wiki/auto-taxi/) | A major airport with taxiway data |

## A good network

SkyYoke sends control inputs many times a second, so the network matters more than the phone. A modern Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 router, no VPN, and staying close to the router give the smoothest response. The built-in [connection check-up](https://ifkits.com/wiki/troubleshooting/#run-the-connection-check-up) measures this for you.

## Microsoft Flight Simulator

Support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is in development and shown as **Coming soon** in the app. See [Microsoft Flight Simulator](https://ifkits.com/wiki/microsoft-flight-simulator/).
