 Okay, so I've maybe gotten a little bit too into Elite Dangerous and I'm doing what all the cool kids have done which is to make my own flight chair, hot-ass mount, whatever you want to call it. So I ordered a couple of these things. They are just screen mounts. They're pole clamp screen mounts and I already had the rather fantastic Ergo human chair. If you've got a spare ton of cash lying around and you want like a totally awesome chair I highly recommend getting getting one of these. So I looked into various different solutions. As you can see the table where I have my PC set up is pretty small so I had the throttle here before and I had my joystick here and there wasn't much room for the for the mouse to go. After that so I needed some way of basically clearing some space so everything wasn't so built up. So obviously it's nothing new it's not like I invented this. There's a whole bunch of people on the frontier forums and on Reddit that have done similar things but I've never seen it done on this chair before. My original plan was to mount the parts here so mount those mountain arms on this bit here. I tried that, got them on but unfortunately I couldn't move them into the right position and yeah so I had to change tactic there. Then I wanted to mount them on here and originally I wanted more freedom of movement so this joint here there's some screws in there and you remove the screws and it allows you to lift this up and down and first I thought okay brilliant I can do that and then I wish people had stopped texting me while I'm trying to film this. So I thought right okay let's remove those screws and then I've got some more freedom of movement but unfortunately the joint wasn't strong enough to take the weight of the joystick I mean it's a pretty old joystick now Microsoft Force feedback too. Still an amazing stick highly recommend getting one off eBay if you can find it. It uses a Hall Effect sensor rather than potentiometers very very accurate and I like the fact that I can turn off the spring or I can reduce the amount of spring because it's all done by force feedback motors. I think it's a cry in shame that force feedback is largely removed from from Flight Sims and Space Sims games because of the the real ale Flight Sims saying oh well real planes don't have force feedback joystick well they kind of do it's called like physics you know but hey that's a whole other of the discussion but the arm couldn't even hold the weight of the of the throttle and CH products pro throttle there dropped a fair amount of money on that because I've had some money to spend and you know what it's one of the greatest purchases I've made in terms of game controllers loads of buttons a really nice action on it it's got a mini analog stick here there's software that you can get which allows you to program the stick that's all Windows stuff in Linux I ended up writing my own software to handle it and it wasn't really that difficult it was there was some stuff online to help me out with that but again that's another story as well so you know both sides are pretty much mounted in same way is clamped onto the onto the handles now this allows me to make adjustments in height should I need to and the only I mean it's pretty sturdy if I just sit in the chair here at the moment these are only held on with parcel tape which isn't which isn't great what I need to do is get some industrial strength Velcro to stick them to it as you can see it lifts up easily but with the Velcro it'd be on nice and nice and tight there's the only wobble in there it's like the wobble of the arms themselves which is pretty negligible really is the the stick it's very comfortable I can move the move everything further in or out wherever I want it to be based on you know however I'm not even showing the thing that I'm doing here but also it means that when I'm not playing if I need to get close to my desk I can just swing the the things out to the side there we go get them out the way and it kind of looks kind of groovy but I'd be able to like you know move them out the way in such a way that I can I can get to the desk and do some real work without having to go through the rigmarole of you know removing the the whole kit other cool things about it is the fact it's got this cable management around the side here that means I can feed the cables down here I've got the cables from the throttle going underneath the chair means everything comes out the same side and I can I can plug that in there so so yeah that's that's my that's my setup obviously at the moment my plan is to use it in elite but I also have the rather wonderful x3 Terran conflict and also Albion Prell you to to play through and so I'm sure at some point it will be used for that as well it's mostly space games that I'm going to be using it for I don't rule out the possibility of using it with the you know contemporary flight sims but that's not really my bag so I'm kind of in my pajamas and I don't know what I'm gonna look like you can't don't know if you can see me in the in the seat here it's it's pretty comfortable the cool thing as well is I'm gonna be able to do that I really apologize for the utter rubbishness of this filming should still be able to I lean back the angle of the because the arms move back with me the angle of the throttle and the stick don't change so I get that full I don't know I could pretend that I'm banking or whatever in in in space but it means that whatever angle I want to sit at the chair everything just remains where it needs to be I haven't tested this in actual combat yet my finger getting in the way I haven't tested this in like you know actual game because I still need to get that Velcro to make sure that this beast remains in place but maybe I'll maybe I'll give it a go in a second and see what happens but but yeah that without disturbing it that right there is my is my spaceship chair I guess you could call so thanks for watching it's been eight minutes of me talking crap I'm not gonna edit this video because that's the kind of thing a professional would do and I'm really not professional so yeah there you go I would say you know post your thoughts in the comments but no one's gonna watch this anyway so post your thoughts in the comments like and subscribe tune in on Friday for the next live stream I'll be playing another one of Steam's most rubbish games so thank you very much see you later
