I can never understand how you guys who have your elbows floating in the air can have ANY accuracy while flying. My setup is similar to the OP's, I have the same setup, as well as a full CH setup, but I use the Saitek combat peds. The big difference is, I have my monitor pushed right to the back of the desk and the throttle/stick forward about a foot and a half. That way I can have my elbows wresting on the desk, or at least part of my forearm. I try to explain it to people that it's like holding a pistol out in the air, or having in wrested on a sandbag. My stick just about comes into contact with the monitor when it is in the top left position, and that's with the monitor about 2 feet from the edge of the front of the desk. Try it, you'll see what I mean.
