Cowboy10uk Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi all, I hope you can help me, my current office chair is on its last legs due to over use, I am after a chair that I can adjust up and down and lean backwards, but without wheels. Currently whenever I press my rudder pedals, I find myself moving backwards which is rather annoying. Sadly all the chairs I can find come with wheels. Anyone found any good office chairs that suit us simmers that they can recommend?

KomodoSim Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Can't you just pull the wheels out? As far as I know they are just a push fit into the stand.

MTFDarkEagle Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Get a car chair, make a frame on which it can roll forwards and backwards, but lockable. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted October 14, 2012 ED Team Share Posted October 14, 2012 I would agree with TINTIN getting a car seat for my sim was one of the best purchases Cheap as well, for under £30 from a scrap dealer, and go for a non electric one so you can adjust it manually :) Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

joey45 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have a few car seats if anyone wants one.... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Cowboy10uk Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions guys, have to say the idea of a car seat has got me thinking. If I get a frame made, I could also add brackets or attaching plates for Komodos heli controls. Fingers crossed should be cheapish as well. Rich, if I pm you, would it be possible to let me know what size brackets or bolt positions I would need to add to chair frame.

cichlidfan Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 For the wheel issue, I placed my chair on a section of really thick carpetting with a non-skid pad underneath (over hardwood floor). It does not move an inch even though my pedals are braced against the wall.
