Modify Playseat Air Force?

[Terry]

Hi everyone,

 

I watched SweViver's video on the XTal Vr and noticed that they are using Playseat Air Force seats but modified with a cross member so that the TM Warthog joystick can be centre mounted between the legs. It looks like a neat job, has anyone done anything similar with the Playseat or know if this mod is commercially available? I've searched Google but didn't find anything.

 

I've currently got a Secretlabs Titan with Monstertech brackets for side mounted Hotas but I would like the centre mounted joystick as I 'think' it might be more natural and comfortable for extended use. The distance from the backrest of the Titan to the front of the seat is 52 cm so if I centre mount the joystick there, I have to lean forward a bit to hold the stick which is uncomfortable. Anyone with a Playseat Airforce tell me the distance from the back rest to the front of the seat?

 

I've been holding off playing DCS for a couple of weeks now waiting for the supposed performance improvements in VR so I'm experimenting a bit with the sim cockpit, trying to get it really good for VR.
