I agree! I can never go back to the throttle for Helos.

Much appreciated. It changes your world in VR when flying helos. I was so use to flying with the throttle, it took a few days to re-wire my brain to acknowledge down was down and pulling up goes up. Love it now!

Really appreciate the feedback! That is why I enjoy this community and made this video. Thank you for letting me know, I will give it a shot.

I have been satisfied with Virpil's for sure! It is only a matter of time though before Winwing or Thrusmaster join the party with a collective. Someone was making a TEDAC and it was not Komodo Simulations expensive one. I want to say Wing WIng or someone more reasonably priced has one in development that will be VR or desktop capable with the display if not using VR.

Really appreciate it brother! I might do that. I am also a huge Navy fighter jock. Spent significant time in the Hornet on DCS and absolutely love it. I grew up around Tomcats, Phantoms, and Intruders. Heatblur has me sold hook line and sinker. Had the Kiowa not just released with the F-4, I would probably be up 15K instead of down in the trees. When the Intruder and Sandy come out, I may have to incorporate 2 days a week for flying. For now though, yes, we are at tree top level crushing it. Really hope to see ED clean up the Huey to modern day DCS helo standards. She is also another old fling of mine from child hood.

LMFAO! Its a must or I am fogging up the VR and sweating all over the pad. We average typically a minimum of 1 to 1.5 hours when we fly each week, but it usually winds up 2 to 3 hours. All 3 wives have our flight schedule. Every once in a while, the air boss grounds us.

@@Devil-mn3dc i feel ya, fellow pilot and husband. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. The fan helps keep nausea at bay as well, i find

Anytime! Hope it was helpful.

At this rate, you may be better off with an Airbus chair. I am waiting on something to fall off of this one in a DCS Flight after seeing another tire falling off a 757 a few days ago. We need to get Next Level to have Lockheed Martin also sponsor a chair.

@@Devil-mn3dc since I’m starting from scratch anything you recommend/avoid/ mistakes you might have made

Appreciate the feedback! I have heard a lot of good things about Wing Wing. You may give them a shot. I plan to after my Thrusmater goes out.

You need 4080 T slot nuts and you can use the m8 bolts that come with the NLR chair

2X- 40-4080-Black, 40 Series 40mm x 80mm T-Slot x 500mm 12X- M8 TSlot Spring Nuts 4X- 4080 Plastic End Caps

Thank you I appreciate it. Been trying to figure best way to mount where I can reach it. This definitely works. Already ordered the mount from Foxx

@@michaelfogleman3035 yea I just finished putting my chair together and can already tell I’m going to have to use extrusions to modify it to get everything where I want it.

Sorry I was late to the party on the below. I forgot to add the links in the description. Let me dig them up and I will add them. Hope the person below helped out. Extrusion is the way to go for sure.

What would be the fun in that? LOL. No I did not. Would have gone that route it I saw it as an option though for sure.

Yeah, unfortunately I was not as satisfied when I purchased my second flight stick. To be honest, I thought I had been ripped off at first. I could tell an immediate difference in quality of parts used vs my original one. Still a good product, but one reason I am leaning towards Winwing for my next round of controls.

@@Devil-mn3dc I have Winwing everything. Highly recommended. I think you will realize thrustmaster is a bit junky in comparison. AMA if you have questions. Also, get some adhesive retractable suspenders for hanging your Pimax cable from the ceiling. Much more free moving and almost feels wireless.

To be clear, I was talking about Joe Bye Done. 😂
