I am wondering...do you have some special flight chair? I will need chair (not necessarily expensive one). Anyway it would be nice to get chair compatible with Virpil collective adapter so I can mount collective without modifications.
What chair do you have ?

Is there not a way to find our order number somehow? It was never emailed to us?

Lance•5/5/24, 5:51 PM

I thought i screen shotted it but cant find it somehow

Fr4Ged•5/5/24, 5:52 PM

Fr4Ged•5/5/24, 5:54 PM

I am also pretty certain that you won't get a mail about your position.
just confirmation that you are on the list and then when you are able to order.

Lance•5/5/24, 5:55 PM

Got it thanks

Has there been any talk about maybe ffb for the new winwing pedals?

Lance•5/5/24, 5:58 PM

Just got them a couple weeks ago

AndyHill•5/5/24, 5:58 PM

the prediction is quite pessimistic, people drop out of the queue so you'll get yours probably a fair bit sooner than that

Lance•5/5/24, 5:58 PM

Yeah i definitely see how people will drop out. A lot of money for a long time away to hope you are still in the hobby lol

Lance•5/5/24, 5:59 PM

But when im 850 away and only 500 have been shipped, ( in the last 5 years?) it doesn't look the best

Number481•5/5/24, 6:00 PM

Actually, no. About 420 have been shipped in the last 12 months.

AndyHill•5/5/24, 6:00 PM

it's more like 2 years and the pace is improving

MT sims makes the best flight chair.

https://www.mtsim.com/product-category/chairs/

NLR also makes one with its rigs

https://nextlevelracing.com/products/boeing-combat-flight-simulator/

All of those have the center stick cut out.

There are some others but mainly I’ve seen those two (NLR one is apparently not very comfy while the MT sims is highly rated but also more expensive)

all of them have the high back which inteferes with head movement in vr

Bob Bushman•5/5/24, 7:21 PM

With it being narrow and flat, its not an issue at all.
Compared to the usual more racing inspired gaming chairs that tend to trap you in. These encourage more manoeuvrability.
( I have the boeing one)
I honestly prefer the thin, flat, high back to the low back chair I could otherwise use.

yea i have the next level boeing style but older...f1gt...hat to cut the top off...kept hitting the back of the pimax crystal during dogfight

So do you think it is worth the money to get monster tech considering the system functionality and future additions to cockpit?

Also do you have experience with Secretlab chairs?

I have a SecretLab Titan XL, and would never buy one again. The first thing that happened is that the armrests' covering started to "bubble". I had to whine loudly b4 they decided to ship me new ones, initially saying no until I threatened to post about it on Facebook. For the last year or so, they've been getting some very noticeable wear as shown. Now, I sit in this chair a LOT but I had a $250 Costco office chair that I used for probably 15 years and it never did anything like that.

you can order the Monstertech one without the head part

Booker•5/5/24, 9:43 PM

I’m probably at 31-33 years with my Aeron. It was expensive at first but amortized over the years it’s been cheap. It’s still in excellent condition and will probably last 30 more without breaking a sweat. I’ve had a happy back all these years.

FFr4Ged you can order the Monstertech one without the head part

Bozo VFA-86•5/5/24, 10:57 PM

Hey guys, I have a general question about an emergency stop configuration. My goal is to have a single button to shut down my motion platform, ffb hardware and seat belt all at once.... My proposed setup:
1. Master stop button runs off 5v USB power and powers a 4x optocoupler module. Should only be a few milliamps to drive the optocouplers.
2. Devices have a 24V built in relay in the power circuit, with a low load line that closes the relay via the optocoupler.
My reasoning is that this way, I have one central button, and no high amperage lines all over. Does this work and is it safe?

Touch_Of_Legend•5/6/24, 9:35 AM

With all that I’m not trusting something home built..

Use an external switch and plug everything from Haptics to Buttkickers and Amps, yes the Rhino and the seatbelt all into the same surge protector.

Plug that surge protector into this and mount it somewhere.

This is a proper and safe way to cut all the power at once.

I wouldn’t plug my computer into it but yeah.

When you said “my motion rig”…

I don’t want to see home made switches sorry but that’s just me.
