Looks fantastic, but I could only ever fly 'cockpit off' with that or it would feel weird.

Very very cool, looking at all those wires you had to deal with on the KG13/Warthog adaptation I am glad I decided on a different route.
Good job

Simple Set Up - Stand Alone Flight Chair
I do not use a desk so I needed a solution to have everything at a chair 7 feet from the 52" screen. The Warthog throttle is heavy so The (MOBO) pads for the HOTAS are beefed up with brackets at the hinges (pads are designed to fold back) and custom aluminum braces for the main pad. I removed the base plate from the Joystick and mounted it directly to the MOBO pad which is thick ABS plastic. Added additional brackets to the MOBO mounting at the arms for Stability. It is solid.
I plug the Stick and Throttle into the two USBs on the Merc Stealth Keyboard. So there is only one wire running to the chair for the keyboard. TrackIR is wireless. The headphones and mouse are also wireless. The Mouse pad swivels 270 degrees and was rescued from a recycle bin. The MOBO comes with a keyboard tray. I rest it on the arms of the second chair, so it is just to my left and easy reach from the throttle. With clickable cockpits and the TM Warthog, you don't need the keyboard much. The XZIPIT chair was on sale so I got two for one. The power cord at the chair base powers the chair which has two speakers and a subwoofer. It also vibrates with Bass. The chair receives it's sound wirelessly. This Chair is not really as comfortable as it looks, So I added a nice butt pad cushion. The Headroll comes in handy after hours of Flying and you still have a few hours to go. This is definitely not a chair for anyone over 5' 11". Last edited by MegOhm; 03-14-2012 at 05:58 PM. |

My first project
Here is my first little project, done with electronics of game-pad. Has this was to offer some friend of mine i didnt bother to mutch (the guy is only paying the new stuff i purchased). Yes, i know Leo Bodnar boards, but, as i wasnt be payed for the board i got this one of a game pad. The set looks a little flatt, and i think i abused a little on the LED`s. Throttle as a limit 100-110, made of a door locker of a closet(2 spheres 2mm apart), very usefull for IL2. Thanks for any coments.
Both buttons on the throttle handle are working fine, the wires were soldered to a tape of wires from a printer machine(those that look like a piece of paper). Both lever axis have Hall efect sensors, the other two have potentiometers). |
