Virtual Fly TQ6+ Compatibility
The Virtual Fly TQ6+ is designed to integrate seamlessly with major flight simulators. It works perfectly with Microsoft Flight Simulator (FSX and MSFS), X-Plane, and Prepar3D, ensuring broad compatibility for sim enthusiasts. Its plug-and-play nature means it is recognized automatically by most simulators, while also supporting advanced customization through tools like FSUIPC.
In terms of hardware, the TQ6+ supports various flight setups, thanks to its solid build and standard USB connection. However, it’s primarily geared for PC use and does not offer native console compatibility. PC pilots will appreciate its straightforward connection and the ability to configure settings to their exact preferences within their simulator's controls menu.
