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

Boys never grow-up, our toys just get more expensive! 😄

[@quantumsoftware1424]

Those who die with the most expensive toys win, why, because it greatly enhanced our visual experience.

[@chuffedtwobits]

An excellent review and guide Mark and good videography

[@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!

[@adrianbroome7236]

SOLD. Just bought one and it arrives in two days time. Thanks for the review.

[@cyrilgoursaud]

Hello, are you happy with this rig?

[@Posttraumaticgrowth]

Beautiful sim setup! A dream for every MSFS 2020 user who want more emmersion.

[@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 😊

[@SimHangerFS]

Ex-pilot (small GA) 25 years ago 😃

[@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!

[@Matthew-hi5ud]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your set up. I'm going to get back into flight Sim again, you'll be my point of reference, on what to buy and how to do it. Thank you! 🙏

[@gavancorrigan8813]

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

[@andy70d35]

Mark, thank you very, interesting video.

[@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 😂

[@antoniocardonagarcia1978]

My next purchase thanks!!!

[@Cookie2k]

Very nice Mark. This is what I’ve been looking for! Thanks for posting! The Warthog mount…is that from Next Level Racing too?

[@SimHangerFS]

It comes as part of the kit…one with the stand and another with the seat.

[@Cookie2k]

@@SimHangerFS excellent thanks mate. I’ll be ordering one over the weekend! 🙂

[@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

[@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 😊 😊

[@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

[@stefanonapoli7282]

Thank you for your video. Question: is the plate where you have your stick on the left in front of the keyboard placeble a little lower or has it that position only?

[@firsthause7462]

Nice video have you tried maybe to fly 737 PMDG in MSFS2020 with fs2crew, makes flying even more realistic when comes to pilot cooporation

[@FlightSimVRDad]

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

[@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!

[@jeubby5614]

Greetings Mark. I really enjoy your videos and straight forward reviews and tutorials. Your videos have helped me in many ways. Could you please tell me... Which NLR Monitor Stand are you using in this video? I cannot seem to match what I see in the video with NLR monitor stands listed. Thank yu for your assistance to the community. V/r John😃

[@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]

I have a 32’’ screen to the side not shown in the video.

[@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.

[@borisyao6651]

Hello Mark, what's your set-up dimension please? I am trying to see if it fits in my office. Thank you for the great work you do for all of us flight sim lovers

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, I have now changed to the Flight seat/stand Pro. You need circa 2m x 1,5m to accomodate the unit.

[@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.

[@larrysouthern5098]

TOOLS NOT TOYS....THANK YOU......GREAT LOOKING SIM....

[@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

[@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.

[@simpilot2k143]

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.

[@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.

[@Freeway7]

I like you but , you should say for the Thrustmaster Hotas , that is ok because you have not tried a Winwing F16ex because you would say man , I should have switch before :) Same for Ruddler , its ok what you have but Thrustmaster TPR is someting a bit more lets say :) , But again love your Videos , you have skills :)

[@SimHangerFS]

Thanks, I have the Thrustmaster TPR. They are on my Motion rig and brilliant.

Hi Mark, may I ask what keyboard you use please? Also do you prefer wireless mouse/keyboard or wired? Thank you Regards Andy

[@SimHangerFS]

I use an ASUS keyboard, wired, my preference.

Thanks Mark appreciated 👍

[@simpilot2k143]

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.

[@simpilot2k143]

@@SimHangerFS Hi Mark, can I ask have you had any problems with MSFS recognising your warthog joystick or warthog throttle and any problems with TM firmware updates? Thanks.

[@SimHangerFS]

@@simpilot2k143 none at all. Recognised as soon as plugged into usb

[@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

[@SimHangerFS]

Both are 450mm in height, floor to top of seat.

[@simpilot2k143]

Thanks much appreciated 👍

[@JM-ow2xd]

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.

[@JM-ow2xd]

Thanks for the info Mark. Your channel has a lot of great information. I'm glad I found it. Happy flying!@@SimHangerFS

Hello Mark wonderful video as usual but to get these to Canada will cost almost their price for shipping and customs . I know you fly with VR a lot and I followed your videos spec8ally for the revereb 2 G2 . I am still getting dizzy and it is not sharp pictures as everyone says my desktop is recently upgraded and I do have a new nvidia card Rtx 4070ti . I did follow your recent video but still with this problem any advise is highly appreciated 😊

Thanks Mark I believe it is my settings more than what in the videos , I do have the prescription lenses which you mentioned as well over my Reverb 2 v2 VR set . I did follow your setup for the computer but I believe I did something wrong that results in non clarity I can send you my computer specs and my settings in both msfs and VR there might be something wrong I am doing . If yes what is the best way to send them . Thanks a lot

[@6CharlieSierra]

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.

[@pollock56th]

Which rig would suggest for 100 percent WW2 prop sims?

[@Shumanator94]

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

[@karlhungus545]

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. I don't see myself ever playing MSFS. Would the NLR Boeing setup be better in my use-case? This rig is about $450CAD more than the Boeing rig.

[@SimHangerFS]

Boeing rig is best for your use case in my opinion

[@karlhungus545]

@SimHangerFS Excellent. Thanks for the reply.

[@ricardograde5134]

Hello Mark. So what is the best rudder pedals in the market? Virpil? Best regards
