@jiramos11 oddly enough, this time I didn't sketch anything out. I just had the idea floating around in my head. I used gate hinges on the key pad and my main stick so they hinge out of the way making it easier to get in and out of the chair. The chair mounting system I built out of 2x2's, 1x6's and a 2x4 or two then of course painted the wood parts. If you are comfortable sharing your email, I can send more detailed pictures of it.

I'm looking at running a very similar setup with MCG Ultimate main stick and Gladiator NXT with onmi-throttle setup for left stick. I'm curious what your control/button configuration is with this arrangement. For space sim I'm going to use twist for strafe up/down on left hand and twist to strafe left/right on right hand and besides that basically use HOTAS controls with the x axis locked on the omni-throttle and roll on pedals. That way I can switch between space sim and flight sim by just unlocking and locking twist controls on the grips.
Nice! I love this set up. So I have all rotational movement on my right hand ( mcg ultimate ) and all directional movement (strafe) on my left hand ( gladiator nxt omnithrottle) makes it very intuitive for me. I'm also still using the throttle unit from my old hotas set up. In stsr citizen it's my mining laser controller which works beautifully and for flight sim stuff it's of course the airplanes throttle. I'd love to hear more about your set up and how it's working out for you once you get it all set up :) o7
I’m trying to build the exact same thing. Would love to see your build plans if you had any. Especially on what you have holding the keypad
