Flight Simulator - EXTREME BUILD - Part 2 - We Messed Up...

In today's flight simulator adventure, we're faced with a puzzling dilemma. The Thrustmaster TRP pedals just won't align with the pedal plate, no matter what we try! Join us as we brainstorm and experiment to overcome this unexpected obstacle.
We're on a mission to build the coolest flight simulator available on the market. Today we're trying to tackle the mission of mounting the Thrustmaster TRP pedals. Thankfully, we have some ideas to get it mounted.
We're going to test it and come back and report to you guys what we find and how we plan on getting around it.

I have an idea, But it will raise the height of the pedals, and you may need to adjust the height of the seat then, too, which would cause you more work. Spread the two pedal mounts as far as they will go and take 2 short aluminum excursion bars( Maybe some extra seat bracket bars might work) and place them on top of the pedal mount horizontal/ up and down. Attach them with beefy corner brackets. And if spaced right, you should be able to just mount the pedals on top of the 2 bars. But obviously this will raise the Height of the pedals Which may give you a different problem with the seat, but if it's an older gentleman, raising the seat might make it easier to get in and out of... Well, depending on his height... For instance, im 5'7", so getting in and out of any simulator is a process.😂😅😢

That’s a really good idea!! We’re going to give that a thought. They’re so big 🤯

[@bearsjunky23hof88]

I don't know nothing about the pedals But the idea at the top is assuming that the mounting points are evenly spaced

[@AverageJoeVet]

so just curious why not use a plate, something similar to TrakRacer that has multiple different mounting mounts?

[@SimCoaches]

We could manufacture a plate, just trying to avoid doing a 1 off plate if we have other options at our disposal
