An excellent review and guide Mark and good videography

[@midnight7297]

Wish they'd made this in the aluminium extrusion design format, so that could've easily added it to a motion platform other than their own poor one

[@JenniferinIllinois]

I recently picked up the stand and couldn't be happier. It has so many places to mount various hardware. I would like to mount my Alpha under the top plate but haven't found an option for that yet. I finally have my sim hardware in a more orderly setup (and have actually retired some I really wasn't using anymore). I plan on adding the seat later this year which is going to giver even more mounting options. 👍

[@SimHangerFS]

Very cool!

[@kenbarthSimAV8tor]

I use a NLR F-GT sim rig with castors and combat flight pack for my MSFS 2020 flying; as well along with Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo and Logitech Pro Flight rudder pedals; happy with all my peripherals; considering NLR Commercial Boeing Edition one day if prices reduce. Thanks for posting Mark!

Very happy to have found your channel today. Perfect content delivered in a very measured manner. I’ve been saving for years for a PC and it’s getting close to purchasing time. I’m torn between so many decisions. VR vs big screen with eye-tracking is my latest dilemma. Waiting for the new Meta to be out to see if it’s any good first

[@SimHangerFS]

Sensible approach

[@ced3680]

Hi Mark. Thank you for your wonderful channel. I would be interested to know how well the Moza base fit in as a center stick with the Next Level Racing seat.I am in the market both for the Next Level Racing units and the Moza base. Unlike many other bases it look fairly big so that is my concern, Thanks

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, My Moza is installed on my DOF H3 motion platform. I'm fairly confident it will fit, but have not done it myself.

[@ced3680]

@@SimHangerFS Just one more. How wide is the top plate. I have a Flightvelocity panel housing two Flightsimbuilder G1000s and an audio panel and three FIPs. Its depth is 20 cm so I dont see a problem there but its 97 cm wide. I guess it would look strange if it were to hang out on both ends of the NLR plate

[@martynfaller8252]

Mark - you know that right hand plate can be turned 180 degrees and mounted further back behind right hand arm (like you fudged it with the Bravo in the vidoe) without any messing around removing the mountings underneath and/or using those flat head bolts - which prevent the bravo from sitting flat on the plate. That plate has mount holes for the bravo so you can attach it directly with no need for the clamps. Apologies if you might already have figured that out by now.

[@kenbarthSimAV8tor]

Funny how my Bravo and 3 Logitech flight instrument panels remain mounted on a ikea end table with castors (also have my heavy hauler button box with cb mic for my truck and farm simming 😊 😊

[@jefflynall2021]

Hey Mark I just want to say hi and I have really been enjoying your videos. Your passion and dedication to flight sim is awesome to see and I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos to share with the community. I’m not sure if you are a real world pilot but if not I hope you get up on a discovery flight. You’d love it. Getting my pilots license after simming for so long was so rewarding. And you don’t have to worry about haptic feedback 😊

[@FlightSimVRDad]

I have the Next Level Racing foldable seat but my next seat will be in the order of this product.

[@richardswede]

Hi Mark, I have this setup too, but i have it configure different to you, and it just goes to show how much you can configure this setup to suit your(MY) own needs. I fly mainly Commercial jets and Space sims. The only thing i found lacking on longer flights i make is 'Arm Rests'. So using the holes on the side of the seat frame, i fitted Arms either side, and thes arms fold backwards to allow un obstructed entry and exit, like you, on the left side. I can't praise this setup highly enough. PS. If you want to know where i bought the folding armrest's let me know and i will gladly send details.

[@xenio8736]

I do want to know ! The lack of armrest is the only thing restraining me from purchasing it

[@lqderks]

Thank you very much for this video. I just set up my next level racing flight stand pro. Your modification for the Throttle was brilliant! I was wondering how I could place the throttle on the right position. I kept hitting the throttles with my G2 VR headset 😂

How tall is the stand? And are the legs on that monutor stand wider than the stand to allow the screen to slide cmoser?

[@dotnetdevni]

I wonder if u can answer would the wheels fit onto the NLR as they only have short stops on the bigger cockpits versions?

[@andyholmes9485]

Thanks Mark. Wouldn't you be better with the seat closer to the monitor. I know you use VR mostly. Cheers.

[@SimHangerFS]

The TET5 works well from this distance, but usually I use a much larger monitor (43’’), but it gave up the ghost recently 😬. 75% of my airtime as you know is in VR

[@pauldennis4464]

Hi Nice video. Could you tell me if the plate that comes with the stand on the right side will move far enough forword, so that the honeycomb throttle is in a comfortable position. Thankyou

[@SimHangerFS]

No it will not. You need to be creative and mod the unit unfortunately.

[@pauldennis4464]

Thankyou for the quick reply. Maybe they will come up with something eventually.

[@CaptMorgan24]

Hi Mark, Thanks so much for all your informative videos. Could you please let me have the dimensions of the NLR flight stand (footprint without the chair wheel tray) and the height? Thanks so much.

[@SimHangerFS]

It’s on the NLR website. Link below the video.

[@CaptMorgan24]

@@SimHangerFS Thanks. I wasn’t able to find it on their website but I did chat with Alex from NLR who provided the information. The NLR flight stand will be too big for the space I have available so I will have to get the NLR Wheelstand 2.0 that is a bit smaller. It may need some modification to fit the Honeycomb yoke and throttle but hopefully I can make that work. Thanks again for all your helpful videos.

The way my room is layed out, I would need to access the seat from the right hand side (Bravo Throttle side). Can this be done easily, or can the rotating plate be mounted on the right side? Thanks for your reviews and comments.

[@SimHangerFS]

No it would not rotate out. Not practical. Access via the right side would be okay, just don’t have any side plates mounted. If you do…not practical unfortunately.

Hi Mark, I have the flight stand pro which is excellent, but I actually quite fancy the Boeing commercial seat to go with it, please would you be able to tell me if (once the foot plate was disconnected from the Boeing seat) would it connect to the seat connection points on the flight stand pro? Thanks

[@SimHangerFS]

Unfortunately not. I checked.

[@strontium4429]

Brilliant review Mark! The yoke looks quite high and far away from the seat though. Is it possible to position it in a lower position and closer to the seat? Thanks

[@MAK_78647]

Looks fantastic! A real pro setup. Just a few questions... 1. Does the single monitor stand have the option of being brought more forward closer in? 2. Is the desk part of the flight stand pro adjustable? Can the height be adjusted more lower or is it fixed?

[@SimHangerFS]

1. The monitor stand is extra and can be moved closer. 2. Can be adjusted, mine is at lowest setting.

[@chadvader974]

Nice setup! How do you see your flight instruments though wit them being so far away. Also, I find I need second and third screens to get charts up and vatsim etc.

[@SimHangerFS]

[@arizonakevlar]

Great review, Mark...as usual!! This setup looks like something I might be able to configure in my application where my computer and desk need to be able to support multiple functions over time so I found your guide very useful. If you don't mind, what is the assembled width (side to side) of just the main stand? I'm excluding all the removable/adjustable arms, brackets, etc., in this, so just the main "triangle" stand portion? Any units accepted...I'll do the conversion! 🙂

[@SimHangerFS]

Circa 72 cm

[@arizonakevlar]

@@SimHangerFS Awesome...thanks so much for taking the trouble, Mark. Looking forward to your future videos as well!

[@FSDwithme]

I really enjoy your setup, and have recently acquired most of the gear in your video. My question is around the Warthog. What do you use as the thrust when you're flying it? It is a right handed stick.. are you using it with your left hand while you use your right hand on the brave throttle? I'm wondering if I need to get both the Warthog HOTAS and the thrust, or if I can make do with the bravo throttle quadrant.

Hi Mark, question about the warthog if I may. I have roughly the same set up as you. However I haven’t purchased the warthog yet to go on the mechanism in the centre of the foot plate. The reason im hesitant purchasing the warthog is because it seems to have a large square plate connected to the bottom of it and I wanted to check if that detaches? Watching an unboxing video it seemed that the large square plate was hard connected to the base of the joystick and then the joystick screws in. Please can you advise what I need for the Center plate retractable joystick plate? Thanks.

[@SimHangerFS]

Hello, the base plate can be removed via 4 screws. That is what I did.

[@Topper_Harley68]

Thrustmaster Warthog is not the best in the market, the stick is good but the base has plastic moving parts that wears out, mine got play in it pretty quick.. Virpil and WinWing are on another level and you can use thrustmaster Sticks on Virpil bases, and you can also change springs and cams to suit your liking and for heli/space or aircraft flying.

[@TrueBlade-1889]

It is now if you get the AVA base.

Before I buy this, a concern. It looks to me like the shelf you would mount your yoke on is too high. In a Cessna 172 for example, the yoke shaft is about 25 inches from the floor. This looks much higher to me. Can you mount that shelf lower? I guess some yokes could be mounted under it.

[@SimHangerFS]

What I’m showing is the lowest. Also look at the flight stand pro.

[@tra757200]

Does the yoke mounting plate raise and lower? Does the seat?

[@simpilot2k143]

Hi Mark, one last question re: the flight seat pro if I may please. What is the height of the seating cushion please? EG how high are you sitting from the ground. Also if you happen to have it by means of a comparison, would you have the height of the seating cushion on the Boeing seat please? Thank you for your time. Andy

Would you be able to use just the seat for flight sims and racing? I would need to be able to mount a wheel, and have my HOTAS mounted at the same time. I mainly play racing games, DCS, and IL2.
