Flightsim Consoles now available from the FlightSim Pilot Shop

by mark.avey on January 22, 2008

The FlightSim Pilot Shop are now shipping a number of products by Flightsim Consoles that will be useful to anyone carrying out a home-cockpit project.

Center Console

The Center Console is for use between pilot seats to be utilized for different functions, such as keyboard and/or mouse placement, etc., on the top of the console.

The console also has a compartment accessible from the front for storage of books, manuals, and other items used during flight simulation sessions.

Pedestal Console

The Flightsim Consoles Pedestal is perfect for the virtual pilot who:

#1) …flies a variety of aircraft. This console is a snap to move for proper Pilot-in-Command (PIC) view alignment with the active aircraft flight instruments. Simply adjust the entire Pedestal Console as much or as little as needed in a few seconds, instead of loosening the knobs of the yoke or stick, re-aligning the controller for proper flight instrument view position, re-tightening the knobs, then re-aligning the rudder pedals with the yoke.

A huge benefit of the Pedestal Console is that it keeps the rudder pedals from slipping across the floor, out of reach or grossly mis-aligned. When rudder pedals do slip away, it is always at the worst possible moment, such as when one is just coming over the fence and is about to touch down. One must either fight for control and quite possibly botch the landing, or have to hit pause, re-align and then continue on.

#2) …has other responsibilities to attend to with the computer. As much as we would all like to have a computer dedicated solely to our flight simulator, this is not always practical. With the Pedestal Console, it takes just a couple of seconds to disconnect your USB cables and move the entire unit out of the way. When ready to fly again, it takes only a second or two to re-position the unit, re-plug the USBs, and off you go.

Features of the Flighsim Consoles’ Pedestal: Adjustable in height to better fit all body types and for proper alignment with different desk heights Accepts all major flight controllers The Flightsim Consoles wing accessory (see below) can be attached in seconds for even greater PIC opportunities.

Constructed of solid core material with a durable black laminate. Also available in a variety of custom solid woods or other colors upon request.

Master Console

The Flightsim Consoles Master Console is a groundbreaking design that allows virtual pilots the ultimate in flightdeck organization and Pilot-in-Command (PIC) and Co-Pilot (CoP) flexibility.

Attractive & Versatile - Are two of the best words that can be used to describe this new product.

Lower Deck

This handsome and thoughtfully designed console will facilitate many different PIC configurations, including: Dual side-by-side yokes as used by many general aviation, business prop / jet aircraft. Dual side-by-side sticks utilized by some of the newer general aviation aircraft such as the Diamond as well as the Cessna T-37 jet. Left seat-left-stick/center-throttle as utilized by Cirrus, Columbia and many of the new Very Light Jets (VLJs) as well as the Airbus series. Single seat-right-stick/left-throttle as designed into the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Single seat-center-stick/left-throttle as used by Aeronca Champ, Piper Cub, Diamond and other general aviation aircraft, most ultralights and many military fighter jets. Left seat-center-stick/center-throttle as flown by the C-17 Globemaster pilots. Right seat-center-stick/center-throttle as flown in the Siai Marchetti SF-260 and the C-17 Globemaster co-pilot. Right seat-yoke/center throttle for most co-pilot applications such as the Boeing 7 series. Right seat-right-stick/center throttle for the co-pilot position of Cirrus, Columbia, and many of the new Very Light Jets (VLJs) as well as the Airbus series. Right or left seat-center-stick/left collective for helicopter pilots.

Upper deck

In addition to being adjustable up and down to allow different sized lower level monitors, the upper level deck easily slides right and left for proper view alignment with either the left seat or the right seat flight instrumentation alignment, depending on which side of the cockpit the flying is being conducted from.

Pedestal Wing

The Wing Accessory is the perfect add-on for the Pedestal Console, for the virtual pilot who flies different aircraft which require a variety of flight controller setups. The WING attaches to the PEDESTAL Console in seconds.
For example, the Cirrus, Columbia and many of the new Very Light Jets (VLJs) have a left side stick. Aircraft such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon have a rightside stick and a left side throttle while the Aeronca Champ, Piper Cub, Diamond and other general aviation aircraft and most military fighter jets have a center stick and left throttle. Additionally, the C-17 Globemaster pilot flies with a left center stick and center throttle. An additional flightdeck option for the Wing is to attach two yokes or two stick for dual flying.

The Flightsim Consoles Pedestal Wing accessory: Accepts all major flight controllers.
