I Have Committed Carpentry

There is but one aircraft in the entire list of planes that come with the full merged with DLC of Strike Fighters 2 that has a side stick.

The F-16A Netz.  It's only in SF2 Israel and none of the other four base games.

But the way I had my desk set-up meant the joystick sat on a stool to my right with the throttle on the desk to my left.

NO MORE!



HOTAS and rudder pedals!

The base is a sheet of 3/4" mdf.  The posts are 3" schedule 40 PVC pipe, I used 3x4" toilet flanges both to attach the posts to the base and to give a spot for the controls to sit.  Much velcro is involved!

I find that my situational awareness is improved and I have more fine control.  Win all around.

Best of all, it's CHEAP!  About $45 worth of stuff total.
