Happy Birthday Squaddie!

I was looking at the link you shared, I don't know if the stick needs to lower or the seat higher. I guess just find a comfortable spot and stick with it.  :D

I think this has piqued my interest enough to start googling home built designs.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!  :D

The chair is really comfortable, I added some back support though and it's all adjustable.

I'll probably still modify how it holds the stick..Just tried mapping some of the buttons and stuff..it's gonna take some getting used to. Using Pedals is pretty wild. More control than a twisty stick, I can do more things now..Once I get used to it.

this is the seat:

More like the vibration is so severe the parts dont have time to fall out because they are so rapidly beating back and forth

When you get the chance to upgrade  your pedals....take a look at Slaw Devices pedals.

Unbelievable good construction and very precise.  Warning....you get a leg workout!

So I modded the portion that holds the joystick because it was built to hold a wheel. And I'll be flying it tonight in FSO so we'll see how it goes.
I hack sawed the original into the parts I'd need and then re-welded them back together.  I think it came out nice and is in a much better more comfortable position.

it's adjustable up and down and closer and further from the seat.  :cheers:
