Looking for a simpit that allows for a center-mounted joystick base /w extensions.

virpil desk mounts

While their website always says they are in stock; when I add them to cart to order they always return a red banner that says they don't have enough in stock to fill my order of 1 for the warthog stick and 1 for the warthog throttle.

Hey mate, how you doing? Still in the process of moving?

I know it´s been a while but i promised to inform you about customizing my rig for a center mounted stick and i finally got it done a few weeks ago. Just had no time to take pictures and upload them until now. The rig evolved a little bit and i uploaded a few pictures about it´s status right now. It´s not finished yet, as i´m still looking for a solution to mount some TM MFDs. Anyways, i hope this will give you an idea how it works with a center stick.

I used a hammer and some metal crafting tools to mark the spots where to drill the holes. Sorry, i don´t know the english designation of these tools, so i attached a picture of those i used. Hope this helps.

cheers

The RSeat S1 top plate is strong enough to support the stick without any additional reinforcement?

Yes, absolutely. I also have no concerns about mounting additional stuff to it, i.e. a stand for the MFDs.

Thank you very much, VpR81. I have been considering the S1--among other options, and I still haven't made a decision yet--and I had been wondering and worrying about how to modify it for a center stick.

No problem. I´m glad this helped ppl out.

My bad, I'm looking for something cockpit style, not a table mount.

I went for this, it's not cheap but it's been working well for me, so far. Like the Monster Tech stuff there are plenty of options/accessories to customise it to how you would like it.

EDIT: With the Next Level setup centre mount joystick extensions are limited to a maximum of 75-100mm in length due to the mounting point.
