Got a discount code from Next Level Racing after the video went online! Check out the description if you want to save some money! :)
Great review.you've altered my look at this and I might just have to get one.
Thanks! :) Don't forget the 5% discount in the description if you choose to do so!
So you're telling me I could mount a FFB centre stick somehow, and quickly swap a sidestick on? And swap between a viper and hornet throttle? My god, this is temping
Yes, that's possible. You could buy some quick swap adapters and that's it. If you give in to your temptation check out my discount code on the description if you want. Saves you 5% and supports the channel. :)
Will get mine soon
Nice! Also this model or a different style / version? I just got a discount code from next level racing. If you're in the US and didn't order, yet, check out the video description! :)
These plastic cable straps, please fix them so that the sharp ends are faving inside and not outside- the usb hub will be in place, but less of a chance to cut your skin🎉
Good point! I'll fix that. For now it's okay because it's on the other side of the rig facing the wall. Nothing and no one ever walks past there.
Hello, Thanks for the video, what is the minimum height for flight stand top plate ? can’t find this information anywhere, I always feel this stand will be high
The height of the flight board is around 64cm
If I were pressed to choose the flight seat or the stand which would you recommend?
Completely depends on the use case.
I got the flight stand pro only with out the chair due to my disabilites and I can't say how unhappy I am with it. The distance between the left and right hotas mounts is 40" and that is an uncomfortable stretch. And they advertise winwing mip system on their pics and adverts only for it to not actually go on there so currently thinking about returning it which is such a shame as it looks awesome
That sucks. :( How about a center mounted stick?
@@WatchMysh didnt fit at all with the mip
@@Phoenixfett damn. Thanks for sharing this here for others to see.
@@WatchMysh no worries, i just hope i didnt come across as a nob lol
@@Phoenixfett lol all good :)
What is the seat height on the flight seat pro? I can't seem to find any info about that
I'll go and check later :)
It's about 47cm
Thank you!@@WatchMysh
Can you have a collective and a throttle at the same time?
Sure. They will register as different axes / devices. Or do you mean mounting spots?
Always use a flat washer when installing bolts through a slot. The rig seems over built and extra heavy. You bought the front, or maybe you didn't have any options to delete it since you're flying VR. You let so much shoddy workmanship slide. So thanks for the heads up; it is hardly worth the money.
Thanks! Glad the video helped you.
I need the front for pedals and I'll install some more stuff later.
What did I let slide?
@@WatchMysh Thanks, i was wondering why you had that additional rig (in front) when you're doing VR. As far as letting things slide, , i was referring to al those poor quality issues that individually, you could let slide, but as they add up, there is a limit to what is acceptable. That said, you hi-lighted the bad clearly enough that it might force them to improve their quality control, as most are easily fixed.
@@rwhunt99 Oh, yes. Let me emphasize one thing: if I had a bought this rig as a normal consumer I would have handled things a little bit differently. I would have ordered a replacement of the right connector for example. I mean that's a solid metal sim rig and not some super sophisticated micro-electronic device. Quality control should be able to detect obvious problems like the monstrous welding seam for instance. I'd have this replaced, too. Good thing is NLR has the reputation to replace stuff without a lot of questions asked. Still it's very inconvenient for the customer... So Yeah AI hope they've improved their QA a bit.
Same observation, but with a different conclusion. It looks to me like they need to work on their QC process, but the important parts (design, materials) look great to me. The customer shouldn't have to modify anything to make it work, but a few applications of an angle grinder looks like all you need. Fixing these issues should be no problem for the manufacturer now that they've been identified. This video went up a month ago, I'd be shocked if it's not already resolved.
@@notreallydaedalus Hope so, too
