New to this sim - Quick Question -

[EtherealN]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm 2 clicks away of ordering the TM HOTAS... But I have last one:

I see the flightsick is mounted of a flat metal base. Is it stable enough or I have to "screw" it ?

 

Thanks, like always.

 

The stick? Nah, don't worry about it.

Your table? Yeah, bolt that to the wall. :D

 

This thing, in spite of a few (but I do mean a few) parts being plastic, is solid. The stick itself rests on a very heavy baseplate - I know it looks lighter and smaller on pictures than it actually is, but that plate is wonderful. (It is also detacheable, should you for example want to integrate the stick into a SimPit etc.) If I pull my stick to full left deflection, and then release it, the table moves, including two screens and a 15 kilogramme fulltower computer. :P

 

THat said, it is possible to make it slip around, but you basically need to do it "on purpose".

Ho well.... I could not resist...

 

I just press the "CheckOut" button... So I should receive my TM HOTAS in 5-6 business days!

 

I would like to thanks all of you for answering my (maybe stupid or boring) questions in a very positive ways. (btw... more to come!!!)

 

BCS-A10 is quite a learning step, I found the training helpful, but maybe a bit too fast, with more acronyms that I can handle... So I do it 2-3-4 times to better understand everything...

 

Anyhow... Thanks again guys, appreciated... I will let you know once the package is at home!

 

Regards,

Delerium

Wait till you feel the weight of it! Don't drop it on your toe, you'll be in hospital for a month!!:lol: Oh and don't forget the TIR, but I'm guessing you already have that coming from FSX.
