Saitek Cyborg 3D gold USB.

I have a tray for my keyboard....I put the keyboard on top of my deask and fly with the stick on the keyboard tray.

Throttle on the desk. Pedals on the floor.

Stick is attached to the desk with an extension that puts it in my lap.

Saitek X36/X35 combo and CH Pro Pedals here. I fly with the Saitek combo sitting on the desk, the pedals underneath the desk (obviously) and my head up my arse!

Also, I have a wand mic, so it's in between the stick and throttle on the desk, and the keyboard is behind that.

I have a CH FighterStick, CH Pro Throttle, both of which I set on a piece of finished wood (about 2' x 1' x 3/4") in my lap, about in the same position it would be if you were really flying. My CH Pro Pedals are obviously sitting in the floor.

I find this relieves the strain in my right shoulder and arm from "reaching" for the stick if I sit on the desk.

You fellas have done sparked interest. I've emailed Deiter Hoffman, inquiring on some parts for my Hoffman pedals. Gotta get these jewels back in action.

not really, I just have the x36 combo on the desk with peds at my feet. But that thing above looks pretty neat. Here's the link:

I used to have a Saitek X36 USB setup on my desk with TM Elite pedals on the floor and now use a MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 with my TM Elite rudders...the FF in AH is great

I really could do with something like a HOTASS but they have closed the site down

Does anyone know if the guys at Fightersystems are goign back into business or have they shut up shop for good? I ask because I was looking at buying a HOTASS or at least the plans but was skint after my last upgrade, moved house which really made me skint and by the time I got the money together to get one they shut up shop. I wonder if they are not going to open back up wether they might release the plans into public domain for downloadfor DIY'ers.

Saitek X45 Combo with the Throttle on the left on my desk, the Stick on the right on the desk, and a set of CH Pro Pedals USB on the floor. I use a rubber welcome mat on the floor beneath the pedals to keep them from moving.

I was worse than 20/400 both eyes for most of my life and I got used to getting up close to my screen, books, etc. Ever since I got LASIK surgery and I'm 20/20 now, I still find myself getting up close to the screen. Years of habit there.

I use the Cyborg 3d Gold USB on my desk. It's in left handed mode and I've got my right hand on the keypad for views. Hat on the stick is for trim. I use CH pro pedals plugged into an old unused Wingman joystick since Win2k can't use the pedals without joystick. Win98 can with Bob Church's drivers.
