Cowboy10uk Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Hi Guys, I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. I currently have my Warthog floor mounted on a rather large piece of wood, with the throttle sat on a old cabinet on the left hand side of my seat. This setup works great, however since my little baby arrived, my wife has been rather keen to start working from home, using the home office. As such she wants me to take up less space with my flight sim equipment and preferably hide it out of the way when I'm not flying. ( This after I've already been reduced from 4 monitors to 1 due to the space they took up on the desk. :( ) Therefore I've been looking for other solutions, I've come across this stand from Wheelstand pro, which I think may be the solution, it looks solid, is fairly reasonable priced and will fold down while I'm not using it. http://wheelstandpro.com/products/wheel-stand-pro-for-thrustmaster-hotas-warthog--deluxe-v2 My only reservations is the fact that it mounts the stick and throttle rather close together and that means the stick will be off to the right, rather than being a centred mounted stick that I'm used to. If anyone has used this stand, could you please let me know what it's like to fly with and if the stick and throttle being mounted together causes any major issues? While this may solve my wife's concerns with the home office, I would hate to completely destroy my flight sim experience. So any advice would be great fully received.

Cowboy10uk Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Ok problem solved, after speaking to them via email, they actually have a central mount as well. So ordered.

weeb Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Might be too late but Cowboy, I have one of them. Great bit of kit, I wasn't aware of the centremount being available so I made my own. I bought a 5mm X 125mm circular lazer cut disc on ebay was about £6.00 uk, drilled necessary holes and welded the 2 lugs on. I will post a pic in a bit, not at sim at moment. It's a well made article, worth every penny m8. weeb Windows 7 64 Home Premium, i5 3570K (3.4 @ 4.4GHz), Asus P8Z77-V LX, 16GB dual channel 1600 ram, EVGA Nvidia GTX980ti, 240 GB OCZ SSD, 3 TB Raptor, Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas and Throttle, Saitek Pro Combat Rudder pedals.
Cowboy10uk Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 :) well while yes I've already ordered, hearing how good it is from a fellow DCS user, has certainly put my mind at rest. Sounds like it will work perfectly, and might actually get my wife off my back. ;) Was very impressed it's the service, and the centre mount only added £5 to the cost, so I really cannot complain about that. :) Don't get me wrong the floor mounted mount I have at the moment is absolutly stunning but sadly does take up a lot of room. Due to the large piece of wood I've mounted it too. At least this way I will hopefully be able to hide all my flight sim equipment away while I'm not flying and my wife is working from home.
