Edit; You chair is nice too

Cool!
I want that to play LOMAC!
How do you use it when your not in an aircraft?

The arms fold back when not in use so I can scoot up close to the desk.

I wonder what happens when he does a roll or loop

Even if I never fly, I want one !

Heh, reminds me of all those "home cockpits" people who play Falcon 4.0 make.

And now make a chair for tanking...

i forgot what game it was, but it was an X-Box game that you had to buy this huge thing that came with a shitload of buttons on it (with an ejection button)

Ha, yes I remember that... it was MechWarrior I think, and you had to press eject or it erased your save...

A Nicely built chair.

I wish I had the time and money to do this: http://members.aol.com/wietlpachm/howto/newpics.htm

Hehehe N1..., but the time and money you put into it, you could prolly afford real flying lessons, altho not in a jet or gunship hehehe

I dont know ... some of the older military aircraft are quite reasonable second hand, and probably are a lot more exciting.

Example 1 - MIG 21

Example 2 (for the wealthier) - Aero something or other

or for the more refined second hand purchaser, example 3 - a Boeing

Alternative to all those, for the price of 2 second hand ferrari's, you can also choose option 4 ... an MI-24 Hind

The money people spend on these crazy things could probably buy you flying lessons

Still very cool, but so geeky.

Or better yet they could join the airforce and fly a real one

Yeah I wasn't going to spend a bunch of money to make this chair. I think the final tally for it was less then $150 USD (not including the joystick/throttle combo or the trackball).

If the controller is no Cougar I do not even look at the chair...

Cougar + Pot upgrade, yeah then maybe, but for my money I'd rather get that new X.52 Pro from Saitek. http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x52pro.htm

I have an X.45 right now.

I have the X52 Pro on there now.

I'm bidding $55 on a an X52 right now on ebay. Assuming I don't get sniped, I'll win it in 2 hours.

What's unfortunate is I just played with it at Best Buy and the reviews were right, the joystick tension is WAYYYYY too loose. Now I'm sort of regretting my bid.
