@@Racer57 it's this product. www.mtsim.com/product/center-joystick-chair-mount/ Comes with he knobs. Instead of the bracket that would be bolted to chair, the knobs screw into two t-nuts.

a nice side effect, it can be moved left/right a bit if you like it off-center, just slide it over a bit and tighten it down

Thanks man. Yeah mines virpils too. Monstertech updated the side throttle mount that I ordered to have another plate on top, I emailed them and asked them for it and they sent it out. Still very happy with it. For the center stick mount, it's holding up very well, but I want to find an even quicker release for it someday. Like maybe a door latch from 8020 might work, but I haven't had time to think or look at it much. The quick screw knobs are good enough that I won't invest the time yet.

It's a P1X from Simlabs, the seat is a Sparco R100. I really like both. The seat is comfortable, and I like that it has recline on it, instead of a rigid full race bucket. Makes it more comfy, and better for when someone else is trying it out. I've got another video with more details on the overall rig now too.

Sure thing. I got it at Tnutz. Note they also make one without the locking handle. Let me know how your build comes out! www.tnutz.com/product/hi-040-b/

Monstertech. I believe I have links in other comments with the exact part link. Thanks!

I bought it, it's part of this assembly. www.monstertechusa.com/product/center-joystick-chair-mount/ You can't really see it in the pictures, but look at the installation diagrams and you'll spot it. Just don't need to use the angled bracket that is blocking it in the pictures that would normally be used to bolt to the office chair. Everything else works exactly as you'd want. I can make a video with the center mount stick going in place if you'd like. Let me know.

If your talking about the keyboard pivots. I got them here. www.tnutz.com/product/hi-040-b/

@@olithemongolthanks I was looking for a simpler solution than dropping $100s for the mt one. Thanks!

Thanks man. Just one more lap!

For the space savings, I like the ultrawide. My room isn't big enough for triples. For short tracks, I would like more ability to look out the driver side window more, but it's not a big deal. I don't need more view for any roadcourse or superspeedway.

Thank you! Cheers!

Found your other video about the rumble kit. Thanks!

Yeah. It's a better feel than a straight stick. More control over the individual axis on your offhand. Forward is throttle forward, back is back throttle. Dead center is hover. Twist up down thrusters, left right is strafe for me, but lots of ways to set it up

did you just removed the Y axis spring ? I did that but I’m having trouble finding the center to hover. Increasing the dead zone helped a bit but that not perfect.

@@barto.3900 These Virpil bases have a tension spring adjustment that you can adjust. No need to remove the spring, you can just tension it so it doesn't auto center and sticks where you want the throttle to be set.

@@oliverturan9597 i have the warbd. So you mean you can totally remove tension without removing the spring ? I’ll try that thanks !

@@barto.3900 The Warbirds don't have the feature. You will need to remove spring. I have the VPC MongoosT-50CM3 base for the throttle hand just for that feature (the dampeners). For center stick I use the cheaper warbird cause I didn't need that feature.

For The center stick, This guy: www.monstertechusa.com/product/center-joystick-chair-mount/ For the left hand rotating pivoting arm, It's their MTS Hotas Left, but they have a right hand too: www.monstertechusa.com/product/mts-hotas-left/?attribute_pa_color=black&attribute_pa_joystick-throttle=vpc-warbrd

@@olithemongol Thank you!

@@olithemongol I’ve been looking at the Monstertech right HOTAS as I want to have that pivot point to help getting into and out of the rig. With shipping to me in the USA it’s like $250 which seems really expensive given my whole 8020 cockpit was like $900 with fixed HOTAS on right and left and a seat. Do you feel the $250 for the pivoting HOTAS (that’s per side also) is worth it or did you look for a way to make it from parts somewhere? I can’t seem to find the parts online and am reluctant to buy the Monstertech but maybe that’s the only way to have a pivoting/locking HOTAS on one side for rig entry. Nice setup for dual use, love it. I too have a sim racing and flying rig and enjoy the flexibility of the 8020 setup.

@@patrickmurray1246 Sorry for the 13 day later response. I guess it really depends on how much you want to plan it out. You could certainly accomplish the same type of rotating/articulating motion with pivots and/or slides that work on 80/20 profile. I did a bunch of looking around at parts, but in the end I wanted to just buy something that would work. If you do end up making something, let me know! I'd like to see what you come up with!

@@olithemongol yeah, I’ve done a ton of googling and Reddit reading and the home brew solutions look ok but the price of the parts adds up. I ended up ordering the Monstertech solution and will apologize to the wife for another $250 into the hobby :)

Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen (when it's not broken), Microsoft Flight Sim, XPlane, and DCS (but I'm trash at it).

@@olithemongol that’s awesome, we’ll have to get on discord and fly some time. I play DCS, war thunder and Ellie dangerous. MFS I have but haven’t gotten to much into it yet

Yeah seemed like it. Even guys like Brug and stuff weren't steady enough to push easily. Windy maybe?
