Well you dont need to spend 200€ on it.

If your comfortable nailing two bits of wood together you can get similar for a few quid.

But it would have to be somewhat fixed. These are adjustable and non permanent.
Having done the latter and well seeing how weird it looks, albeit functional, I could see a pair of these classing up the place.

Getting the hotas down from desktop level is crucial imo for comfort.
Even my 36 year old shoulders and wrists would hurt when I had to hold my arms at an upwards angle.

It's in my theory that these sticks are copies from real world flightsticks, or close to it.

I don't know of any cockpits where the flight stick is mounted almost shoulder high, in fact from most pics I see the sticks base is more flush with knee height than anything.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I'd probably get a few push/pull clamps like they use.......To make them non permanent.......

If they were permanent I'd probably always be ramming the chair into them......

But your kneecaps would probably go first.

Yez Kharma I had forgotten about your stick base mode. It's brilliant but raises the angle even further, does it tie in with the injury?

(lung and a half) I have been pacing my breathing for decades, doesn't do to get over excited old chap.

Walter I have to agree also

New Mobo arrived system rebuilt........

Shitpants moment when switching on...But graphics card had lights on this time so all good.....

I was a bit worried I had fecked up the thermal paste as cpu temp was reading idling at 60.. :shock:

Flashed the bios to latest and now idling at 28.....Whew......

Now to configure the whole thing.......
