Community Event / Creation YAHCM (Yet another HOTAS chair mod)

[2Karl]

Hi all,

I decided to do what all the cool kids are doing and make a HOTAS chair. The chair itself is an Ergohuman, which is hands down the greatest chair I've ever sat in. As many others before me have don, I used VESA pole mount arms to hold my CH Pro Throttle and Microsoft Force Feedback 2. At the moment the controls are held in place with parcel tape, but I'll be buying some velcro tonight.

(apologies for pyjamas, it was late)

and a stream of me testing out the setup here:

(ignore the bit where I nearly crash the ship inside a station. Don't text and fly!)

Thoughts, comments, insults welcome!

See you in space!

Looking good. Must be nice and comfortable to fly with.

I've been meaning to get around to doing something like this myself for years.

I also like your dinosaur cushion.

It's grat having the flight controls move with me when I lean back or rotate the chair, and also frees up a lot of space on the fairly small table my PC is on.

And pretty much everyone I've shown the photos to has commented on that cushion!
