The plates are suitable for the common Star Citizen Controls for most ships.Q: What flight simulation accessories is the Volair Sim™ Cockpit compatible with?As a long-time Thrustmaster Warthog owner, the key question I had about the company’s new rudder pedals was about build quality: would they be worth the 499 MSRP. The Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas Controller has an easy to remove plate on the Throttle and can be replaced with the supplied plate. Easily upgrade a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS throttle completely replacing the default plate with a Custom Plate with Star Citizen Controls.

For suggested modifications please see the following link. The center stick mount that is included is pre-drilled for the Saitek X-52 and Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog.Note: the Thrustmaster TPR (Pendular) pedals will not fit without modifications. The rudder pedals mount to the pedal base with provided Velcro strips. The pedal base accepts a wide variety of rudder pedals such as: CH Products, Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Elite. There are no holes to drill, just take all of your Logitech/Saitek components and mount them directly to the yoke table or, if using our Volair Sim Avionics Panel, mount them directly into the panel.The left and right stick mounts are also pre-drilled to accept a single or dual Logitech Throttle Quadrant(s), Trim Wheel, Logitech X-56, Logitech X-52 , and Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog.
You combine the panels by attaching them together using thumb screws provided with each Saitek panel.In order to mount the Logitech G27/G29/G920 steering wheel, shifter, and pedals using the pre-drilled locations, you will need four (4) M6x10mm long machine screws (2 for the wheel and 2 for the shifter), and four (4) M6x16mm screws for the pedals. You can purchase these at any hardware store in the metric fastener section.Installation of the Thrustmaster WARTHOG is shown in this video.Q: Why does Volair Sim Cockpit comes with all mounts and accessories in the standard package and you do not offer them separately?A: Most manufacturers have a strategy to charge a lower base price for the “bare” cockpit and then charge high premium for extras. We suggest you get nylon lock-nuts to prevent panels from becoming loose with time. You will also need nuts to mount the Saitek Panels (Radio, Switch, BIP, etc.).
Please note that the cost of the shipment is driven by the size and weight of the boxes. Please see the following guidance documentfor details.A: We currently ship to United States (including AK, and HI), and Canada. The same goes for the yoke or shifter mounts.Q: How much will it cost me to assemble the entire flight sim cockpit and where do I get the rest of the components?A: Building a very capable flight sim suitable for VFR or IFR practicing can be surprisingly affordable with the Volair Sim concept. We provide these in the kit standard, knowing that sooner or later you will need them.
The pedal base is also pre-drilled to accept the racing pedal set for permanent installation.Q: How large of a monitor can I mount on the Volair Sim chassis?A: You can mount a single 52″ TV or up to three 32” monitors as long as the displays support one of our three VESA bolt patterns. Both the work table and the side stick mounts are pre-configured and pre-drilled for the Logitech® G27 and Logitech G29/920 components. The dimensions for the left and right side seat mounting plates are approximately 8″ (W) x 9″ (L).The other cockpit base dimensions are as shown below:Q: What about racing simulation? Which wheel, pedal base, and shifter can I use with Volair Sim? How do I mount them?A: Volair Sim™ is the world’s first and only universal flight and racing sim chassis that is pre-configured for the Logitech® G27 and Logitech G29/920, as well as the Thrustmaster T500RS racing wheel and pedals which is arguably the most popular and desirable racing wheel for serious racing simmers. The shipping box size is 44″ x 15″ x 9″ and weights about 20 lbs.The seat height is 37 cm from the floor ( 14″). The cockpit itself ideally best fits in a corner of a room and you need about 5′ x 5′ of free space, assuming that you are using the three monitors.The Avionics Panel dimensions are: 39.5″ x 11″ x 5″. The first box measures 37″ x 23″ x 22″ and weighs 68 lbs, while the second box measures 24″ x 22″ x 17″ and weighs 66 lbs.
Again, remember you can achieve the right angle and bezel position by independently moving the arm in/out of the center support and also sliding the monitor left and right on the arm. Next, repeat the process for the right monitor taking care that the angle and bezel spacing of the right monitor is same as the left one. When satisfied with the position, tighten all of the screws while the helper is holding the monitor in position until you are finished. Also, note that the holes on the left and right monitor brackets are slotted so you can rotate the monitors slightly and also move them up/down.Next, ask a helper to hold the left monitor in perfect position with the center monitor. Note that in order to get the proper alignment of the side bezels you can move the side monitors on their arms and also slide the monitor left and right arms in and out of the center support. 200mmx200mm mounting for the center monitorIf you need to mount displays larger than 32″, we recommend that you purchase our stand-alone Triple Display Stand which will accommodate TVs up-to 46″ in diagonal.Q: How do I properly align the triple monitors?A: In order to get the alignment of the side monitors with the center monitor, first loosen all of the adjustment screws on the monitor arms, monitor brackets, and on the back of the monitor (VESA).
The seat base has two adjustable tubes that allow you to shorten or lengthen the entire chassis to accommodate a range of 48″ to 80″ in height. Will I be able to use the cockpit?A: We have designed the Volair Sim cockpit to accommodate a variety of body frames and heights. We give you the option for permanent or swappable installation and you should consider purchasing additional Avionics Table/Support and an extra Side Mount from us for easy changes between flight and racing modes.Q: I am over 6’ tall and a bit on the heavy side.
