Last updated: February 10, 2026

Section 1

Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, or using Yawbeach ("the Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

Yawbeach is a desktop application that bridges USB HID-compliant flight controllers (joysticks, HOTAS, yokes, gamepads, rudder pedals) to Infinite Flight simulator over WiFi. The Software is developed and maintained independently and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Infinite Flight LLC.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted to this page. Continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Yawbeach. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

Section 2

License & Activation

Yawbeach is licensed on a per-user basis. Upon purchase, you receive a license key that activates the full version of the Software. License keys are personal and non-transferable.

License key rules

  • Each license key is tied to your purchase and may be activated on a reasonable number of personal devices
  • You may not share, redistribute, sell, or sublicense your key
  • Keys found to be shared or abused may be revoked without refund
  • If you lose your key, contact us for reissue — we keep records of all valid purchases

You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, modify, or create derivative works of the Software, except where required by applicable law. You may not use the Software for any unlawful purpose.

Section 5

Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. Yawbeach is designed to collect the minimum amount of data necessary to provide and improve the Software. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

The Software operates primarily on your local machine. Controller inputs are processed locally and streamed directly to Infinite Flight over your local WiFi network. No flight data, controller input, or sim telemetry ever leaves your network.
