Daze Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I'm looking to mod my computer chair to mount my X52 Pro throttle and stick on it, does anyone have a good tutorial on how to do this? I would like it to be as quick and cheap as possible. thanks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike.
joey45 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 What does the chair look like.?? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

walker450 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Maybe it would be possible to angle her arms up and have her left hand hold the throttle, and the right hand hold the stick. However, if you want a center mount stick..... Oh wait..... Uuuhhhhh Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod
Daze Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Extremely similar to this. Serious help is appreciated [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike.
CubPilot Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Extremely similar to this. Serious help is appreciated This is one way shown here , post #87. The PVC drain pipe could be replaced with thinner metal parts if you can work with that material. The wood base mount is very sturdy, no wiggling problems and would be a good starting point to begin from. It does cover the seat recline tension adjustment knob. Not a problem for me as I have it as tight as it will go and don't want the seat to recline anyways. I plan to have the Warthog stick (and round base) easily removable by a twisting action for those times I'm not simming or to make it easier to get in the chair. For my chair I don't need the stick further back because my seat bottom is not as long as on the real A-10 seat, although the offset drain could be rotated rearward to move the stick aft if needed. I also have an idea to lock the seat to keep it from rotating during flight, then unlock it to be able to swivel the seat to make it easier to get in and out of. Then again, WinnTTr's solution might be more exciting! :megalol: :pilotfly: Edited January 12, 2012 by CubPilot [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win7 Pro 64 | Asus Rampage III Extreme |Swiftech H2O cooled: CPU, Video, N.

JG14_Smil Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 You could unbolt an armrest, then mount your throttle on a fixture there pretty easily.
slowhand Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 you can use two pcs of flooring like Armstrong or prago you can get them at homedepot or lowes just find an open box they sell it buy the pcs i think and cut them into paddles then just screw or clamp them to the chair:joystick::pilotfly::thumbup::megalol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] SMOKE'M:smoke: IF YA GOT'M!:gun_rifle: H2o Cooler I7 9700k GA 390x MB Win 10 pro Evga RTX 2070 8Gig DD5 32 Gig Corsair Vengence, 2T SSD.
