Your joystick.
Your sim.
Finally connected.
Yawbeach bridges your USB flight controllers to Infinite Flight over WiFi. No jailbreak. No hacks. Just plug in and fly.
Features
Everything you need to fly
From auto-discovery to calibration curves — built for flight sim pilots who demand precision.
Auto Discovery
Finds Infinite Flight on your network automatically — no IP address typing.
Device Detection
Automatically detects joysticks, HOTAS, gamepads, yokes, and rudder pedals.
One-Click Mapping
Click a command, move your stick — mapped. No config files, no hex codes.
Calibration
Deadzone, inversion, and three sensitivity curves with live preview.
Profiles
Save setups per device. Duplicate, rename, export as JSON, share with friends.
Live Preview
See your calibrated axis output in real time (-1 to +1) before you fly.
Conflict Detection
Warns you if you accidentally map the same input to two commands.
Auto-Reconnect
Connection drops? Yawbeach retries automatically with exponential backoff.
Interactive Guide
8-step walkthrough with progress tracking and FAQ — fly in minutes.
Why Switch
Built for pilots who outgrew Map Connect
Map Connect and LiveFlight Connect pioneered joystick support for Infinite Flight. Yawbeach picks up where they left off — with auto-discovery, real-time calibration, and a modern interface designed for serious flight sim setups.
No more manual IP addresses
Tools like Map Connect require you to find and type your device's IP address. Yawbeach discovers Infinite Flight on your network automatically — just hit connect.
Live calibration with visual feedback
Most joystick bridges offer basic axis mapping. Yawbeach gives you real-time -1 to +1 axis preview, deadzone adjustment, and three sensitivity curves — so your Thrustmaster or Logitech stick feels exactly right before you take off.
Conflict detection built in
Accidentally mapped throttle to two inputs? Yawbeach catches it instantly. No more mid-flight surprises because of a duplicate binding you didn't notice.
Profiles that travel with you
Save, duplicate, and export your controller mappings as JSON. Switch between your HOTAS and gamepad setup in one click — no re-mapping every session like older tools require.
Reliable auto-reconnect
WiFi dropped for a second? Yawbeach retries automatically with exponential backoff. No need to restart the app or re-pair your controller when the connection hiccups — a common frustration with Map Connect and LiveFlight Connect.
38+ commands across 7 categories
From flight axes and brakes to camera controls and system toggles — Yawbeach supports every Infinite Flight Connect API command, mapped with a single click.
Map Connect is a great open-source project by Map-Flight Studio. Yawbeach is built for pilots who want a more polished, feature-rich experience with zero configuration.
