Roast My Setup (plus questions on how best to go forward)
Alright, so I jumped at the opportunity to buy some equipment kinda off the bat when I saw it in stock at the local (2.5+ hour drive) microcenter, that being the NLR Boeing Military cockpit, and the Honeycomb Aeronautical Alpha yoke. I had the x56 hotas, rudder pedals, and Octavi IFR-1 panel from previous flight sim endeavors. All together it's kinda mismatched themewise, heh. Cables are stretched to the PC tool the right out of frame on my desk, I plan on getting a Sabrent 10 port 60W powered USB hub and a long USB extension cable to clean that up. I want to get the Honeycomb Siera throttle, and I'm wondering how best to mount that. I've got a couple side saddles for meta quest 3 controllers as VR is the only way to really use this at the moment. I mainly do just GA stuff in MSFS, but if I could find an easy way to swap in the stick of my hotas for DCS then I could see myself getting into that. I'm also wondering how best to mount the keyboard and mouse pads for easy use without making it too difficult for my relatively larger figure to get in and out of (my fat tuckus can't bend down far enough to grab the locking lever to fold the yoke out of the way, I know it's bad, I need to go to the gym) but for now I think I'll just order one of those mini handheld keyboards with the mousepad built in.
I'd be happy to hear some suggestions and/easy mods to get the best out of this. I have a 3D printer if anyone has any good prints in mind. Cupholder, mayhaps?
