Is this apropriate to discuss?

I use the seat I used for my drums and I put my stick there between mylegs and my  stick sits on top of the chair,I taped  the metal plate of my old Suncom F-15 to make the sitck heavier, so it wouldn't move much(it worked)  on top of that ,rudders are in front of the seat,and  my office chair sits close to it, and my throttle is on the tower case,which is very high.

Velcro'd to the center of my underdesk keyboard tray, flanked by kb and mouse.  Throttle is Velcro'd to a seat level extention I fastened to the left side of the chair...very comfy.

Dead center between my legs.

If I do it right leg pressure holds it in place just fine other than the occaisional tweak.

MS sidewinder prec 2. Thats partly why I'm not big on mapping buttons to stick.
Except for the 4 on the handle and the hat. The rest are hard to get to under my leg.

X-45 throttle off-set to the right of monitor, throttle off-set to left.
keyboard left of throttle.  Only prob is, when things get hot, I tend to
work my joystick and throttle hard.  X-45 has a huge base, but it doesnt seem to be heavy enough and I find them tipping or moving in heavy play.  The rudder control is virtually useless..  too hard to reach and way too sensitive->  small input gives huge response.  Gonna have to invest in CH peddles.

CH Combatstick to the right of my keyboard, CH Pro Throttle to the left of my keyboard, and CH Pro Pedals on the floor inbetween.

first there is a screw on the bottom of the throttle to loosen it up, then "yanking" takes alot less force and doesn't move the throttle base.

also, some who have the x45 with smaller hands might appreciate this.... try inverting the throttle axis in AH. then when it is in the position closest to you (higher up) is the full throttle. it gives easier access to the rudder rocker, and i found i could have more control when i did use that rocker.

Personally, i have my joystick in the middle of my lap, i have seen in pictures here that a lot of people have it to the right of their desks.

Usually the shower...

Lots of right handers:lol  I have a x45 my stick is on the right and throttle on the left but they are both sitting on top of my desk so it is at a very uncomfortable angle when flying to long. I also have my throttle inverted so that I can use rudders better.
