i solved the wife ack thing by building her an officer of her own. GET THE HELL OUT OF MINE AND STOP MOVING MY CONTROLERS. hehehehehe. next project sound proof officer so i dont have to listen to her yell at the kids. then its add a bathroom in the new sound proof office. slowly i will have it to where i dont even have to see her unless its to spend time with the kids or eat dinner.

What kind of Officer did you get her??  A Police Officer??  With a new Officer for her do you even sleep in the same bed anymore.

Thnx ink.

There is still a lot too do to it, and I will likely change a few things, but at least I am making progress.

I actually prefere the side stick control like the modern fighterjets use.

Fugitive,

Do you have any plans for that?????   I would need to add a sound proofed lid so I wouldn't hear the wife ack pingin me....

Good rigs all around.  Need to build somethin myself.

No  About half way through I though...Ya know, I should have wrote all of this down! 

It wasn't that tough, and believe it or not, it went pretty much in one shot from start to finish with very few changes.

LOL, I'm jealous(sp) I made a test rig out of pvc pipe, measured it, tested it a little, made changes, tested it, measured it, so on and so forth. That took three months. Now I'm using steel tubing and it is going a little faster than the pvc one, (because of all the testing and measureing) but I still have a couple of months on this one and it is still no where near done, I will say this I can break mine down and carry it in my car if I have to, although I haven't. I use my truck instead, steel tubing is kinda dirty you know. When I'm done I will clean it all up, and I'm considering having it LineX, if that's too costly I'll just spray bomb it.

I get wife ack for having this game on her PC, there is no room for me to have my own computer desk in this house, and you know if anything ever goes wrong with her pc it'll be "because of my game."

Very clever hack (in the truest sense of the word)

Your looks like its coming out pretty nice Sik. I thought about mine for a long time, so I had it all built in my mind before I started. I even had the amount of wood right in my head.... surprised the heck out of me that I didn't have to run out and get more !  LOL!!

Keep us posted as you move forward with yours !  <S>

Hats off to you gents on your setups.Very  ingenious I must say.I will now tell you all how I have my setup deployed,and no pictures because it's easy to see in your mind as I explain my style,are lack thereof!I  must have my joystick in the middle,so I grabbed a wooden bread board,and I have my Fighterstick on the right side,and throttle on the left.My pedals are under my puter desk,and thats it.I use my keyboard tray to set the breadboard on.Been flying this way since Confirmed Kill.Whatever works,and yes I know I won't win any awards for creativity!

IronDog I use to fly with my MS sidewinder pro in my lap no seperate throttle, or rudder peds. Flew like that for several years then I modified a desk after I got my CH setup flew with that for several years, but was never really comfortable. There was always a compromise in either seating position, or control position, and as I get older I am finding it harder to fly for very long. Yes I'm getting to be an old fart.

I finaly decided to bite the bullet and build something just for flight simming shortly after I quite smoking. I needed something to keep me busy and had just finished my truck so here I am.
