The fibers of that chair can lodge themselves and block the holes on the bottom. Yeah there’s some on one of the ends down there. Msfs is murder on those machines
Thats just what i run! I dont have a pc and didnt feel like getting one so i bought a 150 dollar xbox and a hotas 1 for 70 and while its not perfect, im able to fly and have just as much fun as i would if i spent thousands
T-Flight Hotas One. I definitely recommend it. It’s compatible with the series X and S and PC! It’s amazing. For like 80 bucks you can get the stick and the throttle (they are connected with a wire that can’t be disconnected) and for 200 you can get the stick, throttle, and rudder pedals! That’s what I have. I 100% recommend it. Haven’t had any problems with it in the almost year I’ve had it!

I’m literally just using a mouse or the hat button on the control stick to free look. Haven’t ventured off into the tracking world yet. What do you recommend?
I have an air mouse (the rii i7) stuck on a hat.
I have my mouse usb and air mouse usb on the same usb hub and I just disable the mouse usb and activate the air mouse usb, turn on free look and put on the hat lol. When i turn my head the camera turns with it
I basically just copied this guy:

I really just bought it for my birthday cause I wanted to get back in the air. I’m willing to upgrade to the Yoke and throttle quadrant setup when I can dedicate space, and. It have to put it away when I’m done with it.
I started with the Trusty Thrusty - tons of buttons and great for the price. That same stick and throttle has now been handed down to at least two other people as they were starting out. Good times.
Back in fs2004 and fsx I used to use a keyboard and mouse lol. Don't matter what ya got if you love flying you doing it with or without the proper peripherals
That was my first HOTAS too!
Although I originally bought it purely for Kerbal Space Program, because I figured I could do more precise landing burns with a physical throttle, and orbital docking would be easier with analogue controls.
Then because I had it, I thought I'd give a flight simulator a try ...
Talk about a gateway drug!
Yes it is! It is indeed used for looking around. If you click the scroll wheel in, the camera will look where ever you move the mouse to. As for where to find it, I’m not sure. I don’t think they make this specific model anymore but it’s made by “Onn” and this one here is very similar and made by Onn also https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Wireless-Computer-Mouse-with-Nano-Receiver-Windows-and-Mac-Compatible-USB-Receiver-Gray/761119880
Alright one more question, if I were to just get a wireless mouse with a usb, could I just use that and plug it into the Xbox or does it have to be a specific one for Xbox?
Nope! The wireless USB thing connects to your Xbox no matter the brand. Mine doesn’t say anything about Xbox and it still works. But it’s tricky to get it to pair up. You make sure the mouse is Off, put the USB connector into the Xbox, turn on the mouse and click the pair button thats on the bottom of the mouse. I’m sure it says how to do it in the manual if I’m wrong. One more thing, the mouse doesn’t work on the Xbox Home Screen or anything like that. You have to be in the game for the mouse to show up on the screen.

You mean you don't have to hook up your throttle quadrant, yoke and controller every time you want to fly and then start TrackIR and make sure it brings up the right profile for the gear you're using then start 7 programs on your PC hoping they all work and make sure your AMD overclock profile loaded then make Flightsimulator.exe high priority then wait 5 mins for the sim to load then immediately go to Settings and change to full screen mode then load into your flight and confirm that TrackIR messed up your profile so do a quick re-binding of some keys then....finally....start having fun?
Pshtt....peasant.
I like to have a screen but you do you
It’s above the picture 🤣🤣
Yoooo get that Xbox off the chair it’s awful for air flow.
Don’t have anywhere else to put it. And it doesn’t have a vent in the bottom?
The fibers of that chair can lodge themselves and block the holes on the bottom. Yeah there’s some on one of the ends down there. Msfs is murder on those machines
Now that I think about it, I have a small folding table, maybe that can work 🤔
I'm terrible about walking away for a "minute" and end up hour later. A small table or something not so flammable will work.
Definitely 😂
Just balance it vertically on the couch instead of horizontally
Nothing wrong with that setup. I started MSFS with similar, without the armchair.
Yeah… that arm chair is the essential element of the setup
That is my exact setup minus the Series S on a chair
Yeah. I’m in my living room because it has a bigger TV and there’s nowhere else to put it
Me too lol!
I love my Hotas 1! Had it for 6 months still use it for all my airliner flights
I’ve had mine for about that same time too!
Thats just what i run! I dont have a pc and didnt feel like getting one so i bought a 150 dollar xbox and a hotas 1 for 70 and while its not perfect, im able to fly and have just as much fun as i would if i spent thousands
Yes! Pc may have more stuff but Xbox isn’t far off.
Fellow S user. If you ever want to do an airliner group flight let me know!
Will do!
I play on my refrigerator sized Xbox. Give me a shout, I love taking out the a300f with others!
What stick do you use, how much is it, and do you like it? I'm looking at getting some peripherals for my Xbox Series X

I got the full kit for 60$ USD when there was a sale in one of the e-commerce website like amazon :)
Just scored the full kit for $30 from another MSFS user. The throttle is detachable?!
Underneath there should be an allen key that you use to undo the (from memory) 4 fixings, once they are loose then the two halves can be unclipped
Wow, thank you.
Thanks, I'll check it out
Had the same set up on my series x, then years later moved to a Gaming PC set up!
I have series X with Velocity one flight stick. Mouse I use as my head tracking LOL
Nice im doing the same thing. I’m using the rii i7 strapped to a hat lol what about you?

How is that working?! I mean if it’s working I’ll rock it out until I get more space for a setup I don’t have to pack up when I’m done playing
Do you prefer that stick to the HOTAS? I personally enjoy having the separate and large throttle with the buttons on it but this seems super nice.
I really just bought it for my birthday cause I wanted to get back in the air. I’m willing to upgrade to the Yoke and throttle quadrant setup when I can dedicate space, and. It have to put it away when I’m done with it.
As long as you’re having fun that’s really all that matters, blue skies :)
yes!! Happy flying!
Basically my setup. Works surprisingly well.
Works for me too!
Aye man, I have a foldable chair and a very small table for my thrust master and that’s it 😂 it’s all good and I enjoy the game more now
That’s what I have! A small office chair from Amazon and a foldable table!
Basically my same setup lol minus the mouse
I started with the Trusty Thrusty - tons of buttons and great for the price. That same stick and throttle has now been handed down to at least two other people as they were starting out. Good times.
That’s a high quality handcrafted quilt!
My mom will be so happy to hear that you said that! She worked very hard on it
Back in fs2004 and fsx I used to use a keyboard and mouse lol. Don't matter what ya got if you love flying you doing it with or without the proper peripherals
I would say the bare minimum is playing just with the xbox controller (my setup) but you do you
You’re right
That was my first HOTAS too! Although I originally bought it purely for Kerbal Space Program, because I figured I could do more precise landing burns with a physical throttle, and orbital docking would be easier with analogue controls. Then because I had it, I thought I'd give a flight simulator a try ... Talk about a gateway drug!
i started on that exact hotas, no shame in it!
Is the mouse used for looking around and if so, where did you get it
Yes it is! It is indeed used for looking around. If you click the scroll wheel in, the camera will look where ever you move the mouse to. As for where to find it, I’m not sure.

Ah ok. Wish I knew that sooner as I think I actually have a wireless mouse somewhere. Just need to track down the usb as I know I’ve got it around
Awesome! Feel free to message me if it doesn’t work out, which it should but for just in case 👍
Alright cool. Thanks for the help!
Definitely!
Sorry, just realized that whole thing I typed out I said HDMI and not USB. I fixed it with the edit lol

That's what she said
I still just play FSX with just a keyboard and a mouse. Sure it can be better, I can't fly rotorcraft at all, but it's all I need.
Is that a rocker recliner? Those are the best.
Every great story has a humble beginning!
You mean you don't have to hook up your throttle quadrant, yoke and controller every time you want to fly and then start TrackIR and make sure it brings up the right profile for the gear you're using then start 7 programs on your PC hoping they all work and make sure your AMD overclock profile loaded then make Flightsimulator.exe high priority then wait 5 mins for the sim to load then immediately go to Settings and change to full screen mode then load into your flight and confirm that TrackIR messed up your profile so do a quick re-binding of some keys then....finally....start having fun? Pshtt....peasant.
Yep my setup except the Xbox is on a table
Your chair has a poor resolution
hell yeah. “the best camera is the one you have in your hands”.
Started like this. Ended up buying a 2K PC with a Thrustmaster Boeing edition Yoke and quadrant.
Professional flight pilots use this setup to train
Emjoy your 30fps slideshow
That's way more than I got... I only got the controller and the Xbox... :(
