With the new RealSimGear Device Interface for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 many owners of the RealSimGear Cirrus Cockpits, Consoles, and other Cirrus Related Components can finally utilize the fully feature SR22T G6 in the simulator.
If you are interested in configuring your RealSimGear Cirrus flight controls with Microsoft Flight Simulator the following tables will assist you in proper assignment of the buttons and axis:
Note: The following guide assumes that you have the latest version of the RealSimGear Device Interface for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024 and the current revision of firmware for the RealSimGear Cirrus Yoke.

Axis Calibration and Sensitivity Adjustments
Axis Calibration
The RealSimGear Cirrus Yoke and Throttle have their own internal calibration routine. With this internal calibration, DO NOT calibrate the controls with the Windows Game Controller interface. Do so will cause Interference with the internal calibration and cause control issues in the simulator.
Please use only the internal calibration provided by RealSimGear.
Sensitivity Adjustments
You are free to adjust your sensitivity curves, extreme dead zones, and other axis sensitivity settings within the built in curve management of Microsoft Flight Simulator. RealSimGear controls are tested with a default sensitivity curve (flat linear profile) and no dead zones set in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
