Kirai Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Well I do love flightsims and I think they should be played with as much realism one can get so I made my own flighsim chair :P Its not nice to look at but it does do what it's meant to do. From the beginning its an normal office chair, I just remade it so I could use my throttle with my left hand and to have the cyclic (saitek X52) between my legs as in a real jetfighter/helicopter. To the left of the throttle is a G13 logitech gaming keyboard that I have instead of a normal keyboard and its programmable of course. To the right I have space for the mouse. I use TrackIR5 to look around. Sometimes I use my projector when I play on a 110" screen but normaly I do it on my 22" HD monitor. Yeah I know I am a bit crazy but the fact is that building the chair didnt cost me anything so well why not? :pilotfly: Attached some pictures. /Ric Go Ugly Early

walker450 Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 I like this idea! I may be doing something similar. I will post pics if I do. I will be leaving the cyclic on the right hand side though.. Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod
walker450 Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 I put together a prototype this morning. It is quite crude but I want to try this out for a while before building a nicer mount. The permanent one will be painter black and be adjustable. Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod
