Horizon Plus Flight Controls

The Horizon Plus yoke handle has been meticulously designed for comfort, realism, and full functionality for both single-pilot and crewed operations.

Ergonomic Design
The handle features a forward-curving design that provides clear space to accommodate a centrally mounted tablet or clipboard on the yoke’s center cap. This mimics the clearance in real aircraft where pilots often have an iPad or checklist on the yoke column. The grip shape is the result of advanced ergonomics studies – it’s perfectly contoured with molded thumb rests and finger position, ensuring maximum comfort and reduced fatigue during long haul flights or extended training sessions. The handles are finished in a premium satin finish coating for a luxurious feel that also provides a secure, non-slip grip.

Buttons and Switches
All standard yoke controls are present and thoughtfully integrated: A dedicated Autopilot Disconnect (A/P DISC) button is positioned for easy thumb access, just like on real aircraft yokes, allowing instant autopilot disengagement without losing your grip. Three additional programmable buttons are strategically placed (for functions like Push-to-Talk, ident, or other cockpit functions you may need frequently). An 8-way hat switch on the left thumb position provides panoramic view control or trim control as needed, with a smooth yet tactile movement.

“Invisible” Triggers and Shoulder Buttons
On the front and rear of each grip, you’ll find integrated trigger switches that blend into the design. These index-finger triggers buttons can serve as rudder control and differential brakes when rudder pedals aren’t available. They’re discreetly built into the shape, so they don’t spoil the authentic look and feel of the yoke, but they’re exactly where your fingers expect them to be.

Dual Rocker Trim Switches
Each horn of the yoke includes a dual two-way rocker trim switch on each horn, mirroring the trim switches found on Boeing and many GA aircraft yokes. Having one on each side means whether you’re flying as Captain in Command or First Officer, trim is in the right place. These rocker switches have the proper feel and are wired for dual-channel trim control, so they can replicate an aircraft’s electric trim system (including cut-out logic if your sim aircraft models it). They can also be repurposed for other needs if an aircraft doesn’t use electric trim on the yoke.

Center Cap & Accessories
The center of the yoke is finished in the same premium leather-textured surface giving it a high end feel and appearance.  This cap conceals a magnetic attachment point for the included iPad or clipboard mount. You can quickly snap a tablet holder on and off without ugly clamps, keeping your cockpit setup clean. The mount is positioned so you can use an EFB or checklist in VR or home cockpit scenarios realistically.

Magnetic Mount
The center cap of the handle is fitted with a magnetic mounting point that provides quick attachment and removal of iPad’s*, Tablet’s* & Clipboards,  equipped with the Magnetic Yoke Mount with double-sided 3M adhesive (Yoke Mount Sold Separately – $9.99).

Quick Release Mechanism
The yoke handle attaches to the shaft via a secure quick-release mount. This makes the yoke compatible with the Dual-Shaft system, transforming the pitch motion to pedestal rotation, floor mounted stick or a helicopter cyclic (available after launch).

The Impulse™ Dual‑Phase Haptic Feedback System uses two independent actuators.

The low‑frequency vibration motor reproduces the feedback from aircraft systems like, Stick Shaker, Overspeed (Vne) & Autopilot Disconnect, and tremors like engine rumble, ground roll and airframe buffeting, while the high‑speed impact actuator delivers crisp bumps for touchdown, flap and gear transitions, trim changes and turbulence.

Our TouchDownSense™ and AeroVibe™ algorithms blend these signals in real time to match aircraft type, flight phase and events like an actuator bump from turbulence in combination with after-tremors from the vibration motor, giving your hands authentic cues from takeoff to landing.

The Aurora™ Ambient Light panel transforms your flight deck with customizable ambient lighting. Enhance the colors to runway edge lights, taxiway guidance, beacon strobes or storms to mirror the world outside, or choose your own palette for mood lighting during cruise. Aurora™ synchronizes the Ambient Light between the Latitude Plus Throttle Quadrant and the yoke, to produce one combined optical feedback system.

USB-C Hub Integration: A built-in USB‑C hub on the base provides both data and power pass-through. You can plug in additional peripherals or panels (like a separate radio stack or tablet) directly into the yoke base, reducing cable clutter. 3^rd party 5V DC power adapter can plug into the base to provide extra power for devices, ensuring all your avionics stay powered through the longest flights.

Sentient FlightDeck Intelligence™ is our onboard smart configuration system that continuously monitors the Horizon Plus’s sensor and module status. When you swap an avionics module, SFI detects the new hardware configuration and automatically reconfigures the yoke to match. In practice, this means if you switch from a GA setup to the Boeing setup, SFI will instantly load the correct control profile, adjust axis calibrations, and enable all the appropriate functions for the active panel – no manual tweaking required. It ensures perfectly aligned controls (for example, synchronizing the yoke’s configuration with the throttle quadrant’s lever setup and the on-screen aircraft).

As part of SFI, our Aircraft Profile Assurance program, managed by our team of pilots and flight-sim specialists, meticulously crafts and calibrates each aircraft profile. Every profile in SFI is tuned so that the hardware’s travel and detents precisely match the aircraft’s needs – whether that’s the yoke’s pitch curve or the throttle’s detent positions – making swapping aircraft a completely hands-off experience.

You can still customize any profile in your sim (for instance, reassigning a toggle switch to a custom function). Once you save a custom profile, SFI will remember it and automatically load your version whenever that configuration is detected again. That’s the power of a truly sentient flight deck – adaptive, intelligent, and seamless, so you can focus on flying instead of futzing with settings.

The included heavy duty table mount features dual aluminum T-plates that slide into the bottom of the throttle base and lock into position, using the quick‑release CAM locks on each side of the base. You can secure the throttle to your desk without tools using the included solid metal clamps. Alternatively, it can be secured to the table, or fix mounted, using the 4 recessed screw mounts.

Our under‑table mount screws into the underside of your desk to provide a flush and unobstructive mounting option that doesn’t get in the way when the desk is used for other purposes. The lowered position of the mount provides a more true-to-life cockpit environment and better ergonomics, while keeping the desktop unobstructed and clutter‑free in the process. The integrated USB‑C passthrough connector aligns with the USB-C hub on the back of the metal frame and automatically connects the throttle to your PC when docking. The flexible fore and aft positioning of the mount lets you tailor ergonomics to your seating position, making this mount ideal for dedicated rigs and custom cockpits.

For desks where drilling isn’t an option, the Under‑Table Mount Clamp Kit attaches onto the Table Mount, while utilizing the standard steel clamps from the included table mount to secure the under‑table rails. The Kit provides a tool‑free solution to attach the mount to most surfaces without permanent modification. The included tabletop platform replaces the obstructed mounting points for avionics and, together with the clamp covers, provides a clean finish and transition between the Latitude and Latitude Plus Flight Controls.
