I can't believe it has been 6 years since I wanted your sim and now it is finally on its way. (To start with!) Keep innovating! Love the progression.
Put a keyboard mount in the middle! That would be PERFECT! Something that could swing up and out or something like that.
That is the plan.
cant wait to see it with the Thrustmaster rudder petals
That 80/20 aluminum stuff is INSANELY expensive. If it were perhaps 10% of it's actual cost, this would be an awesome and viable material for making an awesome home cockpit.
Sucks for you. I can get it for free. Thats the plus of working trade shows. That shit is everywhere.
This is what makes a good company a great company! Show what you have, how it's done and you'll attract customers and investors like moths to a flame! Sweet!! Fabulous video guys, keep up it up!!
Innovative Idee mit gutem Resultat. Jetzt noch das Produkt einem Finish unterziehen (Armlehnen mit Gelauflage, Mauspadoberfläche mit abriebfester Beschichtung und nem Centermounting auch fürs Keyboard, damit man das Rig flexibler einsetzen kann) und dann seid ihr auf nem guten Weg.
Hi,
unser Plan ist es das Rig konstant zu verbessern. Die Mauspadoberfläche ist eine klasse Idee.
Viele Grüße

I like the very last configuration. Two things though. Firstly, I would use a track ball mouse instead of a regular mouse. Less footprint. Secondly, I would add a side piece with a keyboard attached to it, which can be swung over to the center. Just like what you see in the Gundam Seed animation.
So German, even the girlie pics on the wall are perfectly in alignment :)
can't help but notice those posters on your wall
Very very good, I really like the choice of materials.
love the calendars :D
Swimsuit girls calendars...... Yeah!!
I love how this has improved over the years, I cannot wait to get one once I move. Going to have to see if my cat will somehow injure himself on it and if I can prevent it from happening.
Fantastic! Love your guys’ prototyping process!! 🤩
Will you have the Bass shaker kit to add on ? Not just the Mount but an actual seat pad perhaps with 6 or 8 transducers ?
Similar to SimRacing Studios. These Haptic pads keep disappearing from he market place.
I am zeroing in on a chair but will want a YOKE and Wheel mount somewhere. Cant wait to place the order - Great products from what I can tell.
Those arm-rests are completely in the way of the joystick and throttle! If you plan on cruising in a cargo hauler you'd be fine, but in a dogfight, you really need to have your arms lower on the joystick and throttle.
If you add armrests I'd suggest maybe a hinge so you can fold them away from the joysticks.
The good thing is you can adjust them how you like. Need the armrest lower, set them lower. Need the joystick higher? Do it. Every joint of the rig is fully adjustable.
Kind regards
Olsen
thank you for the information I can watch this all day
You are welcome. :) Thanks for watching.
Very nice job. One possible flaw or minor area to improve; the arm on the right is a bit trapped with a right-mounted stick, and with limited range of motion. Center grip stick arrangement is okay, but normally you wouldn't have that panel there.
-
This could be improved with a smaller surface area connecting the right desk panel to the aluminum sub-structure. Think of it more as a resting pivot for your right arm than a full desk with full arm support, though you could keep the generous mouse area as-is. Great effort though, and I loved your vid.
*Practical for simulating a U. S. Air Force / Lockheed Martin F-22 Alfa.* Similarly to the F-16 formerly built by Consolidated Vultee Division, General Dynamics Corp., the F-22 uses a sidestick for roll and pitch.
I am interested in what you created and would like to know what you would charge to rebuild another frame and could you build it for just under the seat the length that runs from the front of the seat is not necessary.
Looking good. Can't wait to see it all kitted out.
The only critique I have are the sharp edges. Perhaps maybe a rubber grommet or some sort of soft covering at the corners.
Otherwise with all the possible adjustments you have, I would buy one.
Needs a pouch on the back of the seat for a gaming laptop. VR set up. (I'm only at 12:00 so maybe you thought of this)
19:30 - dat look though. I know what you're saying mate.
LOL!!!
Very interesting, good to see the guys who work on the Monstertech configurations.
My chair joystick mounts are excellent quality.
I am waiting for right side mouse mount and left side thrustmaster joystick plate to complete my gaming chair rig.
Well, maybe get center mount later.
I LOVE YOU GUYS !.... just brilliant DYI rigs
Be sure to post your newly updated model with center stick and keyboard setup with mouse on the right and left hand joystick mount. This would be perfect for dual stick users and im definitely in the market for a proper flight sim rig.
As soon as we make an update on the design we will make a new video. Very busy at the moment but we will try to get some time in this week.
19:26
Don't tug too hard on your stick.
LOL
First off, this is awesome, and I want one. When will they be available for purchase, and how much? And second, let's talk about the awesome on the pictures in the background.
You know, with those armrests... might be a good idea to add a cupholder for drinks ;) like a beer while shooting down space bogeys ;)
Shouldn’t the joystick be between the legs for more realism?
Ja am wichstigsten ist, ob der auch aesthetisch der Frau gefaellt...hahaha schoen gemacht. Ich will sowas
how much for the kit, - the seat and controls, would you do that
Cześć, jaką profilu? Czy te profile Moduł 45 z rowkiem 8?
Gotta love grownup K'Nex lol
You can do even better by building a wood board that rotates from a mobile support (from the left one as example) and get attached on the fixed one (the other one on the right as example). In this case you'll have the space of a real cockpit being able to mount later a curved LCD/LED panel or a laptop or both on it. That obviously will require a hell of a strong mobile mount. But hey, that' s simply me wondering about an all-in-one solution.
The central support could be a Y support with a mobile arm to attach the stick that will move from down (resting position) upward and a fast arm that goes downward to attach the feet rest.
Love your work. Next black Friday I' m going to buy an high-end gaming dator and install Star Citizen, that's why I was searching for a gaming chair like yours.
Sieht echt super aus. Vllt. sollte man die seitlichen Armlehnen komplett nach innen drehen können, damit man je nach Situation (FPS oder Flight Mode) das zu eine art Tisch oder halt frei vorne drum hat.
MfG
Wir arbeiten bereits an einer wegklappbaren "Tischhalterung". Muss aber einfach zu nutzen und super stabil sein, kann also noch ein bisschen dauern bis wir damit fertig sein. :)
I know this is old but I'm quite curious if rotation engine is possible with this thing. Of course that it involves some software but did you check it out?
Why are the joystick mounts the same price as the rig??
I see a few things wrong with this build, if a person is to recline the seat, the entire flight seat will fall backwards. Also you should build a keyboard attachment for the center where the flight stick was.
You can just slide the whole seat mount more to the front. There is a lot of unused leg space. We are working on a keyboard attachment right now.
19:27
I crack myself up.
Edit: I just realized many people had the same idea. lol
Put some refrigerator with sodas below the seat and some snack...than set it up with hi-end gaming rig with huge monitor, guarantee you won't get off the seat for a week
Oh My GOD!
this is so cool everyone there is doing a great job
:)
Hi Noobigirt1337. I got here because of your exelent SC channel. wow
Yeah! Just WOW! I want something like this to play Elite Dangerous, MS:FS, X-Plane, Rogue System, and other space/flight sims!
-The only this is that I'd want to get an old chair seat and back, and attach it to the aluminum girders so that I'm not sitting on flat plywood.-
Oh, never mind. That's an awesome racing seat you put on it! :-)
But do you guys realize that by showing how you built this, we can just go to Grainger or Framing Tech to buy extruded aluminum beams and bolts, and go to Sparco to buy a racing seat and build one ourselves? The hardest parts would be the armrests that the throttle and stick mount on, but that can be made out of plywood bolted to the aluminum frame.
You'll have to keep your price low on your finished product to get DIYers to buy from you rather than building it themselves...
How much for your flight chair
I LOVE this!! Thanks for posting this vid! I WILL be purchasing one!
Hope you will like it. :)
Cheer Olsen
ohh are those new locking clamps ? :D :D
i think i personally would have preffered a wider mouse part as my sense is way too low to use on such a small area. like 15-25cm wider right where the mouse sat.
I always use two mouse for DCS like right and left hands. So you can hold joystick with right arm and push buttons with mouse in left hand
Very nice guys! Good job!
Thanks Jon!
Ja Ja Das ist gut.
This is exactly what I picture germans doing all day, just manufacturing high quality shit out of metal haha
Looks nice. Reminds me of Fisher-Technik ... 😉
But this vrrsion is on steroids !
Can’t wait to see you come up with a full functioning 720° simulator
👍😎
Item for the win!
Actually very nice though
Has there been an update to simulate. An AirbusA320 for FS2020?
Moin Jungs,
Sehr geil was ihr da wieder zusammengeschraubt habt - weiter so.
Könntet ihr mir evtl. sagen, wo ihr den Sparco-Sitz her habt?
Und waren die Schienen für die Montage schon mit dabei, oder musstet ihr die extra kaufen?
Suche nämlich gerade selber einen neuen Sitz und das wird aus den Angeboten im Netz nicht immer ganz klar.
Danke und Gruß
Tom
Hi Tom,
den Sparco R100 haben wir bei Sandler gekauft.
www.sandtler24.de/sparco-sportsitz-r100-2033kl.html
Die Schienen haben wir extra dazu gekauft.
Viele Grüße
Olsen
Super - Danke für die Info.
Also, what is the size of those struts? Is it 40x40mm or 80x80mm?
Das isses Jungs, das isses. Star Citizen Träume werden war. Da müsste ich glatt mal vorbeikommen und mich reinsetzen.
Ich denke schon länger über mein Setup nach. Bei euch scheint die richtige Adresse zu sein einige Euros dazulassen.
Fett richtig richtig fett. Ich bin begeistert. :-D
Danke. :)
Ah... extruded aluminum the legos of modern industry. Nice job!
Thanks, these profiles are great.
Geil geil geil
Super, dass nicht alle praktischen und gut umgesetzten Dinge für Star Citizen aus Übersee kommen.
Ich hoffe euch gibts in 2-3 Jahren noch, denn dann bin ich auch euer Kunde. Dann will ich aber unbedingt ne gute Idee für die Tastatur sehen :D
Wir haben schon einen guten Prototypen für eine Keyboard Halterung. :) Sollte spätestens ab Anfang nächstes Jahr soweit sein.
Viele Grüße
Olsen
F****** Fantastic!! I cannot wait for my table mounts to arrive!! You guys rule.
~TheShames
Thanks, let us know if you like them, or not!
Looks good! But what is the length and width of the main base? I'm not sure it will fit my working room :/
The base dimesions are: 117x55,5 cm
MY LIFE JUST CHANGED FOREVER!
Are you going to eventually offer the center joystick mount and the mouse friendly right hand side table? I am interested in both of these options. What about the sliding keyboard tray? Great work on this flight rig!
Hi and thanks,
we already have a center mount. We are planning to build a new version soon and we will of course make a video about it. A right hand armrest only for mouse is planned as well.
Cheers
Olsen
Was wondering if you would be able to make a keyboard mount more to the middle instead of the center joystick and having the joystick at the side. You would be able to perhaps rotate the keyboard into an parallel position behind the post when getting in and out of the desk
We are already working on that. We are going to make an update video as soon as its ready.
Cheers
Olsen
Monster Tech thank you for your time in responding and making these videos. I'm attempting something much simpler and less expensive. you give me a better idea on what to look for
I've got a MAXNOMIC Leader chair which has some nice, thick metal plates that extend from the base of the chair to hold the armrests. I've been wondering how I can clamp or mount a telescopic pole to each side and use that to mount my X-56 Rhino HOTAS. I love the desk mounts you guys make but I've been hoping you'd find a universal chair mount solution that might work on some of the larger, studier gaming chairs. That would be ideal for my setup!
We are actually working on a seat mount right now. We are planning to make am office chair base that you can attach a seat to. Maybe you will be able to use the mount part too. May to some time tough.
Cheers Olsen
Great video!!
Thanks :)
Wow, what I was looking for. I be tuned
Thanks :)
Awesome Video guys. Keep up the good work. Super Qualität. Schön gemacht, hehe :D
Vielen Dank. :)
Does this setup support the Thrustmaster 16000m and the TWCS Throttle as well? Didn't see it on the website so I thought I'd ask since the throttle is new.
We should get the new T16000 joystick and throttle this week. We will then make mounting plates as soon as possible.
Cheers
Olsen
Got one more question. Can the base part that extends from the seat and holds the foot peddles can be removed, or can you make one without that extension? I use dual sticks, so I have no use for the peddles or the extension.
Please write us an email to info@monstertech.de if you would like to have a custom price for that.
Cheers
Olsen
nice calendars
Dear Santa Clause.............
Phillip Mulligan Santa clause is not real
Well I'm sold, going to try to make a review in this setup when I get my own. Were searching around and couldn't find any. What looks good is that you could add your own prototype addons with the aluminum profiles, me like. The question is, how heavy it is when it's fully assemble? Anywho, can't wait to get my hands dirty with this setup.
And I thought theNOOBIFIER1337 could have one review... as a fellow citizen :)
A review would be great. Hope you like it. :)
Will this be available as an upgrade kit for the racing seat pro?
The sim rig line will be relaunched soon. But for everybody who already has an old sim rig we can make an upgrade kit.
Cheers
Olsen
When will a variant with a keyboard in the middle be for sale. Also will the keyboard and mouse be mounted or will I be able to swivel it.
We are working on a sviiwel keyboard mount at the moment.
Cheers
Olsen
Das Ding hole ich mir ! In Schwarz! 😎
How much would charg for the frame
looks like an IKEA product
I'm looking for this very thing I will keep checking website for when I can order one looks very close to finale design can't wait .
I am working on the english translations at the moment. If you select german on the website the sim rigs are already listed.
Cheers
Olsen
absolut genial, Männer!
Vielen dank!
Schön gemacht :) Macht mehr solche Videos!
Danke. Wir sind momentan schwer beschäftigt alle Bestellungen fertig zu machen, aber es kommen bestimmt bald wieder ein paar mehr Videos.
Viele Grüße
Olsen
When will this going be going to sale ?
What is the name/model number of the pivot fixture that you use on the pedal platform? The one that is adjustable with the "teeth" and tension knob. Where do you buy it? I am building my own flight/racing simulator and have all of the parts already, except that one. It looks pretty handy. Thanks and great job on the build! Looks awesome and very comfortable and versatile! Thumbs UP!!
They are made by ITEM. Contact us via email on info@monstertech.de and we can ship you two. Cheers Olsen
Lekker!
I can't tell if the assemble thing was a short circuit reference
Nice work guys
Thanks!
Is it too early for price point and/or delivery date? Looking great as always.
I will have an update with new fotos and a price point in about a week.
Cheers
Olsen
I ordered my HOTAS holders for 3 weeks and my order is always "In Production". It's normal ?
Hi, yeah we are having some delay at the moment because we have to wait on a resupply of parts. Sorry about that. We will ship as soon as we get them in.
Cheers Olsen
Thanks :)
This is amazing. Where do you buy the aluminum bars shaped that way from?
It's good yaar x
Where can we buy this. How much does this new chair cost. Where your site?
Hi, you can find out website at: www.monstertech.de/en/
very cool!! I'm on the same path. My idea for a keyboard mount is to have it on an articulating arm so it swings in an out to sit down and get up. So it tilts etc etc. but ya hope that helps you. Mmmmm I love it , I want one. Does the seat tilt back as well?
Hi, at the moment the seat does not tilt. But that would be cool. Hmmm... :)
Klasse Arbeit! Daraus könnte man doch auch mal einen geilen Bürostuhl zaubern? ;)
Die Idee hatten wir auch schon, aber es ist schwierig eine universal Aufnahme für die meisten Bürostühle zu entwickeln. Vielleicht später ;) Viele Grüße Olsen
Fantastic job boys!
What pedals did you end up going with?
Thanks, we went with the Slaw Device RX Viper.
This is great - I'm curious as to why you guys don't wear masks while drilling/cutting those extrusions. You definitely don't want that aluminum dust in your lungs!
Super-r-r-r! Big LIКE!
Very good! Guys,
You can ask what kind of profile do you use?
good idea
Thanks. :)
19:30 priceless!
Really nice Video..!! If you sell it, I would buy it for sure..!! Greeting from Venezuela..!
Thanks, its already available. Check out our website www.monstertech.de
Cheers
Olsen
That wingspan
Fantastic! :-)
