So it was time for a new chair. Bought a few pieces from Amazon and put together this... haha
This, paired with my brand new Ovulus Rift, is just AWESOME.

Still seem a little high to me.
From the past while I have somewhat come to the conclusion, that the best way to mount a Hotas is with the top of the throttle to be flush with the left arm-rest, and the Palm rest of the stick the same, not the base but the palm rest on the stick itself.
Must be a million times better than just having them on an office desk though

It is.. I played for a few hours tonight... It allows my upper arms and shoulders to just hang straight down. I don't even have to reach out any... it's just a really natural position. Me likee a lot.

Wow, I didn´t realise how big those HOTAS controllers are! I´ve been locking ito that but I guess I´ll keep using my Logitech F710...

I have mine on a desk as my chair wont take mounts. And as the desk has 2 draws that hang side by side from it, cant fit those mounts either
Not ideal tbh.
I wish I could weld, I'd build a frame. I have seen them made from (what looks like) 1.5inch waste pipes but I'm sceptical on how sturdy it'd be.
