New Controller Hardware

[DD_Fenrir]

I've been a baaaaad boi....

 

That's a VPForce Rhino base, a 20cm Virpil cranked extension, a VKB MkIII adapater and a VKB F-14 grip.

Still waititing on a VKB Black Box controller to allow the grip to connect to the PC and then I will be obliged to indulge in some rather brutal furniture modifications (calling my woodworking skills carpentry would be an insult to the trade) to (a) provide a solid mounting surface so it doesn't throw itself around like some demon-possessed jack in the box, (b) provide an arrangement that will also trap the office chair roller wheels so as not to propel me away from the PC whenever I try and use my rudder pedals and (c) allow full free and unrestriced movement to the stick (currently the desk and the chair occlude it's movement).

Time for a little surgery...

Big thanks to @BluBear for the loan of the jigsaw. It worked flawlessly and as a bonus I managed to keep all my appendages!

How is it going Fen? I think I might be able to talk myself into doing something like this as my WH is about 10 years old so.....
