    Forgot to mention/FAQ:
    - The mounts I use are Monstertech table mounts(2x long and one standard) and MFD (swivel) mounts. Perfect for this kind of hybrid setup.
    - Mouse pad is made from a piece of wood on a folding shelf bracket.
    - Normal office chair with home made cut out. made with a hack saw, knife, needle&thread.
    Let me know if you guys want an in depth walkthrough/review of anything.

      Yes, I can't stand monstertech's default bolt based adjustment, I'm interested in the levers and if there's a low profile one for right side joysticks. I had to hammer out the black plastic out of mine so I could use an Allen key to get in there and adjust the "depth" of my stick after changing my desk setup.

      I posted an unlisted video for a couple friends. I decided to buy two left and two right MTS Hotas setups so I could have them quick swappable. The keyboard and mouse tray swing under the MIP for when I mount it. Basically having so much requires me to store some things elsewhere, but still only a small amount of time to swap the MIP to my redbird Yoke. In this clip I have a lot mounted at once but am still waiting on my left virpil prime in this video. I'll be uploading a finished video when I get my monstertech seat. Still a few months out on that though. This video is my sim channel unlike the one I'm currently commenting from.

      The problem with this is what is known in the music world as Gear Acquisition Syndrome: Gas. What do you do when it comes to actually getting better at flying? I had the same issue with guitars, I learned how to install frets, and even modified a cheap guitar to be much nicer, instead of getting better at playing.

      ​@@einarabelc5 Haha, I've heard of that (and other terms), but that comes down to the individual and their laziness. I have spoiled myself with my keyboards and music accessories (tons of them) and although some I changed my mind on that were compulsive buys, most I used to their limit and it pushed me to learn more in the process. I don't read music but play drums, guitar and piano and get better every day. If anything, this new rig has put a stop to my original music schedule while I learn everything (and I do mean everything). My ass is killing me because it's been planted on my temporary seat while I await my pilot seat all weekend and have learned MUCH more than I ever would have. Can't speak for most peops, but it's motivated me to get my moneys worth and in a few months it will be full motion also :) The key to it is to do all the spending between girlfriends so you can follow through without being crippled by an angry woman. or have her leave you when you put more into your passions than her.

      It's a difficult question to answer. I have a pretty beefy system and all of it is by no means necessary to have a good experience in VR. I have slowly upgraded my pit over 4 years and bought most of the items on sale. Prices have gone up on most of the parts since then ( all parts are listed in the description if you want to check current prices). I probably spent 10-15k USD in total over the 4 years (for the whole setup). But I have also helped friends start their DCS VR journey with 2.5-3k budgets (for PC, VR headset and Hotas).

    If you want to be able to quick release certain aspects of your setup you might want to look at QR4Rigs. I have two, one for a Virpil CM3 throttle, the other for a Virpil CM3 base with an Alpha Prime on a 200 mm extension. I built a couple of custom Monstertech clones as I wanted longer than they offered. Only had the quick release for a week but rock solid. They also accommodate force feedback wheels and pedals so should be fairly heavy duty. Can’t comment on that yet though.

With your SimGear flip up/down directly in front of you it appeared at 1st you used what appeared to be Go-Pro attachments but you stated was from Monstertech...Very clean and ergonomically planned...Cable management is outstanding....curious how many Hubs or ancillary devices either for power or the peripherals you need...Thanks for sharing

    If you don't mind me asking, how much was this? I'm trying to get a good setup for MSFS I have a yoke but I want all the toggle buttons and switch panels as well but I can't find something that isn't outrageously priced.

    • @Willdass

      Hard to estimate now, as I bought it over 3 years and mostly on sale. Prices have gone up a bit since… The whole setup is listed in the description if you want to calculate todays price…

      I have not. The CM3 would be the recommended choice for my setup, but when I bought the warbird I used a stick without the extension. Still it does the job and does it very well, a bit wobbly but I can live with it. Had to buy the extra heavy springs though. Thanks for watching!

      Muscle memory, just as I don’t look at my keyboard while typing or playing other games. Also a lot of the switches are in the same place as the virtual cockpit so it’s very intuitive.
